ODETTE’s POV.Malachi wraps his hands around my waist while I lean into his embrace. Our hotel suite is facing the ocean directly and it looks so beautiful. Part of me wishes that we can stay here for all of eternity without having to worry about anyone or anything. We have been here for three days and I can tell you that they are the best three days of my life after my wedding.I am still in awe of how Malachi was able to come up with such an amazing wedding ceremony. I am still having the jitters from the many gifts he got me. I mean he is the best husband one can ask for and I am glad he is mine for all of eternity.“What are you thinking about, wifey?” His voice filters into my head and I can’t help but smile. Wifey! I love the sound of that.“Nothing my love, just basking in the glory of our honeymoon. I can literally not get enough of it”His soft chuckle reaches my ear and my body tingles. No matter how many times I have heard this man speak or laugh, I genuinely can't get enou
MALACHI’s POV.The scent of my favorite dish finds its way into my nose as I make my way out of the room after taking a shower. I need no one to tell me who is in the ensuite kitchen because I know it’s my wife. No matter how many times I tell her not to bother about cooking, she never seems to listen but I have made peace with that. She can do whatever she pleases and I will be behind her to guild her and take care of her.Besides we are on our honeymoon, she can do as she pleases. I can only watch her and admire her, thanking the moon goddess for blessing me with a beautiful soul such as hers.“Sleepy head” her face breaks into a smile when she sees me, “i thought you wouldn’t wake up”“How can’t I?” I round the kitchen counter and snake my hands around her waist, “I have the most beautiful woman so I should always try to live up to that. This smells delicious” I look over her shoulder before pressing a kiss on her cheek“Well, you always cook for me so i decided to return the favor
ODETTE’s POV.The moment a knock resonates on our door, I allow Malachi to open it while I sit on the dining table. My mind on how to make her pay for what she did. I have let her go a lot of times and she actually thinks I am a weakling. This time around, she is going to wish she didn’t mess with me again.As soon as she steps in, Malachi’s face changes for the worst, he looks disgusted.“Aren’t you going to welcome me?” She asks, “thanks to me, you are popular again”“Speak to me and not my husband” I cut her off, “I am the one who asked the receptionist to let you in. I mean shouldn’t you be allowed to crash our honeymoon since you are a distinguished guest?”I stand up and this is when Malachi’s eyes open wide the moment he sees me with the baton, even Bryer takes a step back.“I mean, you are too important for me to ask the receptionist to send you back. You caused such a scandal back in America and you jumped right on the next available plane to the Bahamas, you are something ar
BRYER’s POV.“Due to the injury, you won’t be able to wolf out for a while” Jacquline tells me and I ball my hands into a fist, this is four days after Odette attacked me. I left the hospital after footing the bills in the Bahamas and I came straight home.For four days I have been unable to move and it’s all thanks to that bitch I am going to hold her by her neck and make sure she pays for everything she has done to me.“I made some tonic for you, you will be fine soon” Jacquline says again.“Thank you”“I will take my leave now so you can rest”“Before that” I stop her, “don’t forget what we talked about”“Of course”With a little smile, she walks off while I am left to my musing again. Odette, that motherfucking bitch. I am going to make sure she pays for what she did to me and Malachi, I won’t let him line in peace either.Someone opens my front door again, making my forehead crease into a frown.“Jacqueline?”“Would she dare come here?” A familiar voice filters into my ear and my
ZACHARY’s POV.Standing in front of hundreds of eyes a few days after my investigation started is actually not the right thing to do but being involved with Bryer has caused me so much already and I genuinely want my wife back. If this is the price I have to pay in order to get my wife back, I am more than willing to pay for it. The only thing I want now is to get my wife back and we can stay happy together. I am actually tired of seeing her with Malachi. I want to see her happy and smiling with me. That’s the only thing that matters to me and I don’t care how I do it, I just want her.“You can start now,” the person standing beside me says. She is Malachi’s assistant and seeing the smug look on his face as he is seated at the back of the hall aggravates me the most. I hate that he always gets the upper hand in this, I hate that I have to do this in front of him.Letting out a sigh, I clear my throat lightly before pulling the microphone towards me.“Good evening everyone and thank y
ODETTE’s POV. My hands are still trembling from before and the only thing I want now is to hug my husband and tell him how much I love him. Right now there is not Breyer or Zachary, it’s just me and Malachi, us, our world. I look at the time again and it’s already been fifteen minutes since I called him, he should be pulling up by now. Like the moon goddess is on my side, I hear the gates open and his car drives in. Excitement surges through my entire body as I manage to hold my smile. With one final look at the mirror, I pick up the bouquet of flowers that’s on the table beside me before heading over to the door. The door opens up and his familiar scent fills my nose before he appears looking dapper in his brown suit and his hair slicked back to perfection. His face immediately breaks into a smile as his eyes travel over me. “Someone is looking hot” Malachi says, “what’s the occasion baby?” “Here” I hand him the bouquet. “Guys get flowers too?” “Come on” I can’t help b
MALACHI’s POV.“Good morning sir” Emma says as she saunters into the office.“Good afternoon Emma” I flash her a little smile, “how was your night?”She freezes, a look of confusion appearing on her face.“Are you okay sir?” She asks, “you..I chortle a little, I know it’s surprising to her and to everyone else that I actually smiled this morning since I came to the office. But the news of Odette being pregnant has made me so happy that I don’t know any other feeling than happiness. When she was pregnant with Zachary’s child, I can’t lie I was jealous but I was still willing to accept the child because it also belonged to Odette but now, she was carrying my child. Mine, not Zachary’s but mine. I don’t think there is anything else that would make me more happy than this. The coming days are sure to be blissful and I am all for it.“I am very fine, Emma” I tell her while checking my watch, “make sure to clear my schedule after this morning’s meeting okay? I have dinner plans with my wif
ODETTE’s POV.“Good evening mum” I hug her lightly and her cologne filters into my nose, she smells so nice and I kind of miss her, those days when we would just sit and talk together.“You look dashing, sweetheart” mum says excitedly, her eyes traveling around my body.“Well” I shrug, walking over to dad, “I live to impress” with a smile, I lean into my dad’s embrace.“Good evening dad”“Well, you completely forgot about us after your honeymoon” he has a pout on his lips and I can’t help but laugh out loud. Shouldn’t mum be the one sulking? But dad never seems to disappoint me.“Well, I have a good looking husband, I need to take in all his sight, dad. But not to worry, I will make sure to come and see you often”“Of course baby” he pats my back lightly as his eyes soften, he loves me and I know that for sure.The door opens up and the two boys saunter in. Is it my eyes or does Kayden look more muscular and a bit taller than Jayden? I haven’t seen him since the wedding. I guess this
ZACHARY’s POV.I push the door open and step into the room, my eyes catch the lady on the bed and I let out a little smirk. There she is, the one who almost sent me to jail. I have spent the past weeks trying to maneuver my way out of police custody. Yes, they found evidence against me but it was not enough to throw me in prison and that’s why I am still here. Now she is the one on the hospital bed and she even had the guts to call me to come see her. I wouldn’t have agreed but part of me wanted to see what has become of her now, part of me still wanted to see her despite everything that has happened between us. I guess that the effect of spending too much time with someone.“Who is it?” She asks immediately I lower myself on the space beside her, “who are you?”“This is funny” I answer, “wanting to go blind for a man? How obsessed are you with him, Bryer?”“I thought you wouldn’t come, Zach” she sounds a bit relaxed now, “why did you come?”“You called and even though I hate you, I c
MALACHI’s POV.When she saw me smoking, I actually wanted to go after her but I stopped myself. She has never seen me smoke before and that was a part of me I wanted to keep away from her but she found out. She was calling me earlier and I purposely didn’t pick her calls. I was upset about a lot of things and I couldn’t bring myself to talk to her because I didn’t want her to notice anything.After I left the hospital, I went back to the office but I didn’t go into my office. The fact that Zachary will continue to bother us even after what I did to him today is more annoying than anything. I want to kill him, I want to erase his memory from her life. He had her before me, they had something between them. They have broken up but I am still upset about that fact. I want her to give me the permission to end him, to finally rid this world of someone like him. The more I thought about it, the more upset I got.“You are just an unsecured prick” these words have been ringing in my head since
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
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
