MICHELLE’s POV. With trembling hands, I collect the paper from the doctor and continue to stare back at it. I was not expecting what he said a few minutes ago. How can I be pregnant? Was this some kind of joke? He said I couldn’t get pregnant right? I have been trying for four years now and my efforts yielded superfluous dejections so this is why the result in my hand has me trembling. Four years of being the Luna of my pack has got me trying to produce an heir to the legendary pack of the shadow warriors but I could not. My husband, Alpha Nicholas would be so happy to hear this news. After all, we have been trying together. When I was just sixteen years old; my mate manifested himself. I worked at the pack kitchen with my aunt after my father and my mother died from a pack war when trying to save Nicholas and since then, my aunt decided to just make meals for the pack house. On that fateful day, I found out that Nicholas was my mate. I didn’t really know what being a Luna e
I gently open my eyes as the gloomy day dawns upon me. Last night was the most terrifying day of my life and I badly wanted to think it was a dream but here I am on the bed with Nicholas’s side cold and unlaid. Tears well up in my eyes but I try to push it to the back of my head, the divorce papers are lying on the table beside me while the pregnancy report is just by the side. One contained my happiness and the other contained my pain. My four years of marriage have come crashing to the ground with a loud bang, I feel like a weakling. I grab the divorce papers again and stare down at it, the words are dancing before my eyes. The fact that Nick’s signature is staring back at me makes everything so unbearable. Did he even hesitate before signing this? Did he even have a second thought before penning down his signature? A lot is going on in my head as I continue to look at the papers in my hand. I can no longer contain the tears and it hurts so much, I can feel my legs go weak. Dro
MICHELLE’s POV.As soon as the doctor’s words filter into my ears as I sit in front of him , my heart skips a beat. This is not the kind of news I am expecting, how can my baby be in danger now when i just conceived. My heart is shattered into a thousand pieces and I can feel the tears falling from my eyes.“You need to put yourself together, Luna” the doctor says again and I sniff back a tear. I need to be strong, this is not the time for me to cry. Crying won’t solve what I am already going through.“Tell me” I finally find my voice, “what are the chances?”“Well” he leans forward towards me, “the tumor can be managed with medication but i am not sure for how long ma’am”“I will keep the baby” I announce and a small frown appears on his face.“What do you mean? Didn’t you hear me, Luna ? A tumor is..I immediately interrupt him, “I have been craving a child for the past three years, doctor and I can not throw these ones away because of a tumor. Since it can be managed by medecine, I
MICHELLE’s POV. As soon as I lower myself on the bed, my mobile begins to beep. Seeing it was one of Nicholas’s lawyers, I let out a heavy sigh before clicking on the receive button. “Hello” “Madam, sir Nicholas sent over the divorce papers via email. I think we should meet and discuss how to settle this. He want to add more alimony for you” “You can go ahead and process it. Mind you, I am not in need of the alimony, he can keep his money for all I care” “Why don’t you tell me your location, I will come over” “You don’t have to meet me, Mr Smith” I tell him, “just do as Nicolas has told you, I am not in the mood to meet anyone from his side. I immediately end the call and I fling the phone on the bed as my mind drifts off to Nicholas again. All my life, I thought I married the perfect gentleman and alpha. The man who was rude to others but gentle with me. I saw Nicholas as a god and this is what he does to me. The more I think about it, the more angry I get. I gently
NICHOLAS’s POV. I have just finished reading the document on my study table when my door pushes open and Lucy saunters into the room. She has a gloomy look on her face and I am guessing the meeting with Michelle didn’t go as she wanted. I had told her not to but my little sister is stubborn, I am glad she learned the hard way. “I am busy, Lucy” I tell her, “why are you here?” “You don’t seem bothered about Michelle?” She asks while lowering herself on the chair in front of me, “I met with her and she was extremely angry, I don’t think.. I cut her short, “do you think I am doing this because I still love Michelle but I want to keep my baby with Natalia?” A frown appears on my forehead as the words spew out of my mouth. “Isn’t that what this is about? Lucy asks further, “you have always wanted a child and she has not been able to produce one for you. I understand that you want to be with Natalia because she is carrying your baby but.” “I love Natalia, Lucy” I tell her, “I lov
NATALIA’s POV. After Nicholas is done talking to the pack members, he leaves to meet with the bounty hunters while I decide to take a tour around the pack house. It had been three years of not seeing the building, three years of being away from him, three years of letting Michele do as she pleased. Three years ago, I watched her take him away from me and I couldn't do anything. I left the pack house in shame but now I was back to take what belongs to me. No matter how tough everything gets, I must make sure Nicholas never thinks about getting back with that sister of mine anymore. I know he won’t do that, after all I have his heir growing inside of me. “Natalia” my thoughts were interrupted when I hear someone call my name from behind me and I turn to see his sister. I almost roll my eyes, I know she didn’t like me so why won’t she keep her distance from me? “For someone who doesn’t like me, you sure pester me a lot, Lucy” I don’t bother to hide the loathing in my voice. S
MICHELLE' s POV. The beeping of my mobile resonates in my ears and I gently open my eyes before pushing my body to a sitting position. Picking up my phone, it is my aunt and for a moment I don’t know if I should answer the call. She must have heard what happened at the pack house and I know for a fact that she wants to give me an earful. The phone in my hand continues to ring and left with no other choice, I click on the receive button before pressing the phone against my ear. “Hello” “You brat” she sounds furious, “how dare you leave without even telling me, Mish?” “I am sorry aunt” I say out loud, “Everything happened so fast and I didn’t have time to think, I had to leave immediately” “But why, why would you leave your home and your pack just because Natalia is back, I thought you were stronger than this my dear” “Look aunt” I rake my fingers through my wavy hair as she sigh left my lips, “Nicholas wanted me gone and I didn’t want to argue with him. He finds Natalia b
MICHELLE’s POV. The moment I set my eyes on them, my heart skips a beat hoping that neither of them heard what I have discussed with the doctor. My heart is beating fast against my ribcage as the two of them walk up to us. “Hello sir” the doctor stands up with respect, “I wasn’t expecting you” “I brought my fiancée for a check up” Nicholas announces and I gulped while the doctor looks at me for a split second. I am sure he must understand why I have begged him not to allow Nicolas in on what is happening. “But it seems you have a visitor” Natalia begins to speak, her eyes rolling to the back of her head and her face looking as expressionless as it can be. I understand the fact that she hates me and I don’t like her either, not when she is responsible for breaking my life into a thousand pieces. “I was just about to leave” I finally find my voice and turn to the doctor, “I will give you a call” “Why are you at the doctor?” Nicholas’s voice filters into my ear and I freeze fo
ODETTE’s POV.The time is already past 8pm but Malachi is not back yet. He left me at the office a while back and he hasn’t returned yet. The driver asked if he should take me home but I refused. He told me he was coming soon so I am going to wait for him.A gentle knock on the door jolts me out of my thoughts and I raise my head to see Emma saunter into the office.“Ma’am” she bows lightly, “it is already late. How about I ask the driver to send you home. Maybe the boss might not come back”“Did you try to call him?”“He didn’t answer my call, ma’am” she answers and I let out a sigh. Where the hell is my husband?Just as I open my mouth to talk, my mobile starts to ring and Jayden’s name pops up.“Excuse me” I pick up my phone and press it against my ear, “hello”“Odette” his voice filters through, “can you go to the office for me? I left a file on dad’s desk and no one is allowed to enter his office aside from the three of us. I have a meeting with Mr Ling in a few minutes, I need t
MALACHI’s POV.I had just finished signing a document when a soft tap comes on the door and it pushes open to reveal her ever gorgeous face. The day for the release of survivor is fast approaching and I have a lot of work to be done. The movie is already promising to be a big hit, I can only guide it on the right part.Just yesterday, I received news that Bryer injured her eyes and was rushed to the hospital. She never amazes me, she has always been someone who would rather die than let herself be embarrassed. Wolves don’t have the ability to heal themselves when it comes to their eyes so she knows exactly what she is doing and I know exactly why I have let her be in the hospital in cuffs.“Hey baby” Odette leans into my embrace and presses a light kiss on my lips, “I brought you lunch, you should take a break and eat. You have been really busy”“Okay sweetheart” I am not hungry but I don’t want to argue with her. She has become really sensitive these days. Even after she was done wit
BRYER’s POV.It has been one hell of a week. I felt like I died and woke up several times because my body is tired at this point. Malachi made do his threat, injecting me with substances and pushing me to the point of losing my primal control. He really is a nutcase and I have learnt first hand what I shouldn’t do.My whole body aches, my sense is muddled and it feels like I am going to cry all because of that bitch. It is her, she is the only reason why I have become this person that I am now.The iron doors open up and a usual face walks in. He has been coming to check in on me almost every hour, carrying out his boss’s orders without delay. He used to be one I know when I was in the pack but I guess ever since Malachi announced I was no longer part of the pack, everyone turned their backs on me.“Have you come to hurt me again?” I ask but instead he laughs.“You are already a mess, Bryer. I just derive joy in seeing you this one. You caused the alpha a lot of trouble, this time yo
ODETTE’s POV.I was waiting for Malachi to return, my attention on my phone when a shadow cast upon me and I raise my head to meet his gaze…Zachary. I haven’t seen him since I got back, the last I heard was that he was being reinvestigated after what Bryer did but what is he doing here? I didn’t take him to be someone who would visit the mall at this time then I see it, the lady behind him.The sight makes me scoff, he has jumped into the arms of another woman after Bryer left him. Without saying anything, I return my attention to my phone, not caring about his presence anymore.“Wait for me in the car” I hear him tell her and the lady immediately walks away. Still, I don’t raise my head from my phone. He is not worth my attention even in the slightest.“Odette” he calls out to me but I continue to ignore him. Now I wish Malachi is back already.“Odette” he calls again and this time I hiss lightly, finally raising my head to meet his gaze.“What do you want, Zach?”“I just need to ta
MALACHI’S POV.With my arm wrapped around her naked body, I bury my face in the crook of her neck and fill my lungs with her scent. The time is past 10PM but none of us have taken any time to sleep. I like the fact that we can stay in each other’s arms and just be ourselves.“What are you thinking about, my love?” She asks me, “you have been in thought for a while now”“I’m just thinking about how a lot has happened in the past few months, wifey” I tell her, snuggling closer to her, “but most especially I love the fact that we are together no matter what”“Should we go for a drive?” Odette suggests, pulling her body to a sitting position, “the weather is really nice”“You really want to go for a drive?” I ask and she nods vigorously.“We could get some ice cream on the way and even some chocolates too”“I should have known it’s your cravings speaking and not you” I tell her, pulling my naked body off the bed, “fine, let’s get dressed okay? I will get you everything you want”“Thank y
ODETTE’s POV.The moment I hear those words, I abruptly pull my skirt down and jump off the bed, Malachi’s lips tilt into a mocking smirk as he lowers himself on the bed.“You are going to go in there reeking of sex, babe”I roll my eyes to the back of my head, look at him talking like it’s not his fault. He is the one who put me in this position in the first place. Note to self: never have sex in the hospital where your father and your husband are both admitted” Walking towards the mirror, I start to fix my hair and my clothes.“You look okay, baby” he says to me, “you should go and see father in law now”“Hmm” I nod, “I will tell them you are taking a rest, okay?”“I will get changed and be there okay?”“But…“I am fine” he subtly cuts me off, his gaze softening, “I will come soon, okay?”“Okay baby” pressing forward, I kiss him lightly on the lips, running my index finger over his lips to clean a little bit of my gloss, “and make sure you take a shower” my gaze falls on his erect
MALACHI’s POV.Walking into the room, I see my wife seated beside her sleeping father, her head on the bed beside him and seeing that she didn’t raise her head when I walk in, I know for a fact that she is sleeping. Walking gently towards her, I squat beside her before tapping her gently.“Baby”Odette stirs in her sleep and opens her eyes, a light yawn leaves her mouth.“Baby, you are back?”“Hmm” I nod, “I am back. Come, I will take you home so you can take some rest, okay?”“I don’t want to leave dad alone” she sounds adamant.“You are not leaving him okay? Kayden and Ayana are both outside. They will look after him till your mum gets back. You are pregnant, remember? You don’t need all of these stress right now”She lets out a sigh, I hate seeing her in this kind of situation. How I wish I was in her stead.“Okay? You need all the rest you can get now. I don’t want you getting sick in your condition, my love” I cup her face lightly and press a kiss against the tip of her nose, “pl
BRYER’s POV.I let out a little gasp as I push open my eyes but I am met with ultimate darkness and silence. The ground underneath me is cold and it is seeping through my skin. The last thing I remember was someone walking up to me when I was leaving the mall earlier and the rest is history.Who dared to do this to me? Who dared to capture me and put me in a position like this? Could it be Zachary? I ratted him out to the police and he is getting investigated again or it could be Odette. I mean, I harmed her father and landed him in this hospital. It wasn’t that hard to do since their cleaning lady had a gambling addiction, I was able to buy her off as soon as I talked to her but she wouldn’t have that time to have me captured right? Or was it Malachi? Did he do this?I have a lot of questions but no one to ask, not when this place looks like my nightmare. Wolves have the ability to see even in the dark but for some reason, I am unable to do that. What the heck is happening? Who was
ODETTE’s POV.Despite being upset with him, I can’t go against him and that’s why I sat my ass on the bed when he told me to.I can think clearly now, I went a bit overboard at the hospital but if I didn’t meet him, Bryer wouldn’t have come into our lives so my anger was a bit justified. I am going to find her and I am going to tear her into a million pieces, scatter her remains all over the world and make sure she regrets it for the rest of her life.The rain is still falling heavily and I wouldn’t be able to go back to the hospital anytime soon so I decided to call my mum and from the tone of her voice, nothing has happened yet.“The doctors are going to check him for the drugs” she says, “you shouldn’t worry too much, my darling”I sniff back a tear, this hurts more than anything I can even think of, “I am sorry mum” I tell her, “dad is in this condition because of me”“It is not because of you, my baby. Don’t worry, your father will be fine. You should make up with your husband, y
