MICHELLE’s POV. After dropping the call, I let out a heavy sigh as a well dressed man walks onto the stage. This is the first time I am attending a gala and I can say this is out of this world. Right from the hall, the decor down to the light and everything is top notch. For the first day of show, Enzo really outdid himself because I can not keep my eyes to myself, the sight of everything is so beautiful to behold and not to talk of the crowd that had gathered. The guest list was filled with important men and seeing how the hall is full, it is safe to say that Enzo has made his mark in the world he exists in. I am the only one seated here right now and Maria told me Enzo specially prepared this place for me. I get to see everything happening on stage and I can’t help but feel proud of the man I married, he treats me like I am the only person on earth. My thoughts are interrupted by the man on the stage again and he is saying something which is making everyone chuckle ligh
NICHOLAS’s POV. THREE HOURS AGO. With one final look at the mirror, I pick up my phone from the table and this is when the door opens and Natalia saunters into the room looking gorgeous in her black sequin dress, one of the newest collections but no matter how much I look at her and want to admire her, I can not get the words of Michelle out of my head. I don’t even know who is lying because on one hand Natalia is pregnant and on the other hand, Michelle gets pregnant with Enzo just a few weeks after they met. The more I think about it, the more upset I become because everything should have been about me. And I know for a fact that Michelle is not lying about her pregnancy because I can actually see it. The glow, the beauty and everything in between. I noticed it the very first day I saw her but I couldn’t even decipher it completely because we no longer shared that bond, I can no longer feel anything about her. “Don’t I look good?” Natalia’s voice jolts me out of my train
ENZO’s POV. I don’t let go of her hand until we enter my dressing room before I bang the close in anger and I see her flinch. A gesture that makes me realize how angry I actually am. When she sent me that text, I decided to actually meet her only for me to be caught up for a few minutes and I saw Nicholas holding onto her. The anger that resonated within me at that time was so massive that I actually wanted to kill him and destroy everything he has. “Calm down, Enzo” Michelle tells me, “you are so angry and it is emanating from you” “The fuck I am upset ” I hiss in anger, “how dare he? I should have actually ordered Izzy to kill his sister.., how..” I am still talking when she pulls me into her embrace and envelopes me in a tight hug and immediately I feel my anger begin to reduce. I snake my hand around her waist and bury my head on her shoulder while filling my lungs with her scent. “Are you calm now?” Her voice filters into my ear, “today is a very important day and y
MICHELLE’s POV. Seeing my husband looking all dashy and too good to be true on the runway, I can't help but feel proud of him. Is there anything this man can not do? He is the epitome of grace and poise, I will forever be thankful to the moon goddess for bringing him my way. Each outfit is a fight against the other and the moment he is done, I immediately make my way to his dressing room because looking at him from that runaway, I already want to pounce on him. I want to show him how much I love and adore him, I want to show him that through my actions and not my words but what I didn’t expect is that his Junior sister will walk in on us with one of my peaks in his mouth. The moment I see Izzy saunter into the room, I immediately push Enzo off and pull my dress upwards while his own gaze darkens as he turns his attention to the intruder. “I am….I…sor…” Izzy’s voice keeps trailing off and I can totally understand why. I would have also been in that kind of situation if I am
MICHELLE’s POV. With a heavy sigh, I slump on the bed and close my eyes for a moment to relax. Tonight has been very hectic and all I want to do is just lay in bed and sleep. After I left Natalia at the packing lot, Enzo and I attended some interviews and finally the first day of the show came to an end. A few reporters still swooned around us even after everything was over and we still had to take some pictures. I have never been in front of so much people before and with the way Enzo showed he was doting on me, I should expect more of that kind of attention. After a few minutes, I push myself out of bed before getting out of my clothes. I should take a shower before Enzo finishes his call. The moment I step into the shower and the water pours down on my body, I let out a slight moan of relief, I actually need this. As the water continues to pour, my mind drifts off to what Mustapha told me. The fact that Natalia is acquainted with them troubles me a lot and more abo
MICHELLE’S POV. After a few seconds, doctor Lawrence finally looks up from his computer and his gaze rests on me, He presses forward on the chair before pushing his computer towards me. “Here” he points at the screen, “this is the lining of your womb and it’s a little weak since the tumor. It has been like that for a while now it’s nothing to be concerned about” “Is that why I had that pain yesterday?” “Hmm” he nods, “everything is fine and your babies are absolutely fine, you don’t have anything to worry about” I finally let out a sigh, thanks to the moon goddess. “I have also prescribed some new drugs for you, this is the second month of your pregnancy, you will need them” “Thank you so much doctor Lawrence” “You are welcome, make sure to take a lot of rest. You need it, you are carrying triplets inside of you, we can’t take the risk” “Of course” After a few other discussions, I pull my body out of the chair and make my way out of the office. Enzo left for
MICHELLE’s POV. It is already past eight and Enzo is not home yet. I have called him several times but he didn’t respond, Maria also told me that he has left the venue. Did he go straight to the pack house? I am not so sure because I told him to come straight home and the Enzo I know will never make me worry. I turn around to pick up my phone and this is when I see Izzy’s call coming through and my heart skips a beat. I hastily pick up the phone and click on the receive button before pressing it against my ear. “Michelle” her voice filters through, “I don’t have much time but Enzo is here at the pack house and he won’t see anyone or talk to anyone. He came in thirty minutes ago and has since locked himself up in his room and has refused to come out” “I am on my way now” I immediately drop the phone and grab the car keys before heading out of the room. The moment I step out, an unknown man bows to me and from the look of things, he is completely human. “I am the ne
ENZO’s POV. AN HOUR AGO. As soon as I shut the door, I slump on the floor and bury my face in my hands. Today was just as hectic as the day before but right now that is the least of my problems right now. It is already past eight and any moment from now, I will be experiencing the worst pain ever and the worst primal instinct ever. For the past ten years, this has been my comfort zone. This has been the room that held my pain and anxiety for the past ten years and here I am today, trying to hide away from the world as usual. A soft knock on the door jolts me out of my train of thought and immediately her scent filters into my nose, I immediately know who is behind the door and my wolf growls inside of me. “Go away, Izzy” I tell her, “I am not in the mood to listen to talk to anyone” “You can not just hide in there Enzo, come out and let’s talk about this” “Go and take care of yourself, Izzy” I tell her again, “we will talk in the morning” This is the place I am mea
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 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
