Chapter 14: The Betrayed Luna They Want
MICHELLE’s POV.
After my aunt left, I just lay on the bed reminiscing about what she told me. How Natalia was trying to erase everything that concerns the pack house and even the mansion.
She must be trying so hard then because three years is not something you can erase so easily even though it was very easy for Nicholas to do.
My thoughts are interrupted when a soft knock resonates on the door.
My forehead creases into a slight frown as I pull my body out of bed, I am not expecting anyone who is actually at the door.
The knock comes again and my frown intensifies.
“Who is there?” I ask not moving an inch from where I am standing.
“Open the door, Michelle '' that familiar voice filters into my ear and my heart skips a beat. How did he find my room number?
Looking round the room for a moment, I finally walk over to the door and open it.
There he is standing in front of my door with an expressionless hovering over his face.
He is dressed in a pair of black pants and a white button up shirt which he left the two upper buttons undone and his hair, his hair is pulled back in a neat ponytail. I can’t lie, he looks dashing.
For a moment I keep looking at him without saying anything, I am wondering why he is actually here.
“Won’t you let me in?” His voice finally filters into my ear.
“Doctor Enzo” I finally find my voice, “how come you are here? How did you even find my room number?”
His smirks greets me but before I can even react, he walks into the room even before I invite him in.
“I haven’t even told you to come in and you already have” I raise an eyebrow at him, “is that what doctors do now?”
“You were lost for words” Enzo replies, “and i couldn’t keep standing for long”
“So you invited yourself into my room?”
“It is literally a hotel, Michelle” he lowers himself on the only chair in the room.
After a few seconds, I finally walk up to him and stand in front of him, my gaze directly on him and I keep wondering what he is all about.
“Why are you here?”
“Sit, Michelle” he orders in an authoritative voice which makes a confused look appear on my face. Only one person has ever spoken to me like this and that was Nicholas but now this weird doctor.
“Don’t you think you have some explaining to do?” I blurt, “you barge into my room and ask me to sit, what exactly do you want?”
“Sit, Michelle” he tells me again, his eyes darkening at his words.
Enzo leans back against the chair and crosses one of his legs over the other.
My eyes unknowingly fly to his open chest where his two buttons are undone and the wolf tattoo on his chest catches my attention for a moment, it is beautiful.
“You can gaze upon me for as long as you want if you sit down, Michelle”
I gulp and turn my eyes away from him for a moment before lowering myself on the bed. I am not sure why I am obeying his orders but I just do it anyway.
After I am seated, I return my gaze to him while Enzo leans towards me.
His eyes travel down my body for a while and finally rests on my face.
“It seems you don’t like the life that the moon goddess has given you, right?” He asks out of nowhere, making a confused expression to hover over my face.
“What do you mean?”
“A baby, a tumor. Don’t you love your life? Do you know
you can even die before you even birth your baby into this world?”
My heart skips for a moment, how did he know about all this? Did he snoop around in my file? I can’t help but wonder.
“How did you…
He immediately interrupts me, “let’s stop with how I got your information and go to the part where you tell me why you want to put your life on the line because of a baby that has not yet been born. You at risk of losing your life if you keep the child, I suggest you terminate the pregnancy and get treatment”
I immediately flare up, how dare he enter my room and tell me what he wants me to do?
“What exactly are you talking about?”
“You know what I am talking about, Michelle” Enzo rasps out; “I can understand the fact that you do not like your life or you are upset about something but is that enough reason for you to want to throw your life away?”
“You do not know anything about me” I half yell as I shoot out of the bed, “you don’t have any idea what I have been through and how hard I have struggled to get pregnant, do you think I will throw this child away because of some stupid tumor?”
“Stupid?” Enzo scoffs, “a tumor that will take your life is stupid?”
“What else do you call it?” I ask him as tears well up in my eyes, “i have been trying for three years to finally get pregnant and now that I have, a stupid tumor wants to ruin my life?” I can’t help but chuckle, “I am sorry but you don’t know what I have been through for you to sit there and tell me to kill my child, you don’t”
Enzo scoffs while leaning back against the chair, he doesn’t say anything for a few seconds but his eyes continue to stare back at me like I am some kind of piece of art which he can not take his eyes off.
“You and your husband got divorced, is that why?” His question makes me more angry but I try to keep my cool, being stressed is not good for me or the baby.
“I think you have overstayed your welcome, you should leave doctor Enzo”
“Was he also your mate?” Enzo is adamant, he is one of those people who won’t leave without an answer, “did he reject you?”
“It is none of your business”
“It is one of them I guess” his lips curl into a mocking smirk, “i don’t know him but he is a fool if I must say”
My face crease into a slight frown, what exactly is he talking about now?”
“Your husband whom I don’t know if he is a stupid wolf or a foolish human left you with your pregnancy which might kill you and you still want to keep his child?”
“Where did you get all this baseless information from? I fold my hand across my chest and my wolf continues to stare back at him in disbelief, who exactly is he and why is he so comfortable with me all of a sudden?”
“Get rid of the pregnancy, Michelle”
“I will not” I blurt immediately, “you can take your consideration somewhere else because I don’t need it”
“Omegas are always very stubborn, must you always want things done the hard way?”
He stands up and begins to take slow steps towards me, I can’t even move because I am trapped between him and the bed.
With each step he takes closer to me, my heart beats fast against my rib cage.
What is he trying to do?
Why is he moving towards me?
A lot is going on in my head as I continue to stare at him until he comes to a full stop in front of me and traps me.
“You shouldn’t be so stubborn, Michelle” his voice comes out almost in a whisper, “now you make me want to know more and more about you”
I open my mouth to say something but he nods his head in opposite directions signifying he didn’t want me to say anything and I clamp my mouth shut like I am being controlled.
“Since you are divorced, how about you come back with me to Los Angeles?” He asks after a few seconds and my eyes open wide as saucers, I am lost for words.
“I mean, I could treat you better than your ex husband ever did” Enzo says again and before I can even say a word, he snakes his hand around my waist and yanks me closer, making me gasp in the process.
