Chapter 19: The Betrayed Luna They Want

ENZO’s POV.

As soon as I drop the call, my lips curl into smirk while my attention is drawn to the leather bag on the passenger’s seat.

After I left her house earlier, I went back to doctor Mandy to know a few more things about her and with my own intuition, I was able to decipher a lot about her.

My kid sister who is six years younger than me is also a vegetarian wolf. She could hunt down thousands of prey in one night but on the days when she is in her human form, Izzy hates meat.

The moment I got close to Michelle, I knew that was her kind of person and for her salad? I genuinely do not know how I got to know about it.

It just clicked my mind and I got it, was my wolf sense becoming more extreme? I thought only wolves who are fated to each other could know what the other person is thinking?

My thoughts are interrupted when I see her walking towards me clad in a knitted scarf and a loose pair of pants which does not do enough justice hiding her hourglass figure. Her hair is pulled up in a messy bun and she looks tired.

My eyes darken at the sight of that. Was she sleeping or did something happen for her to look like this?

With each step she took towards me, the furrow on my brows intensifies.

As soon as Michelle comes to a halt in front of me, she folds her hands across her chest but she doesn’t say anything.

“You were definitely not sleeping” I say to her.

“How did you get my number?” She asks me with a sarcastic tone in her voice, “are you perhaps stalking me, doctor Enzo?”

“What happened?” I clearly ignore her, “why do you look so tired? Did something happen when I was gone?”

“And who are you to ask me that?” She blurts, “you act like you know me when you don’t”

“Get in the car” I can no longer stop myself and I see a confused look flash across her face.

“What do you mean get in the car”

“I don’t know if it is this hotel or the fact that you think too much but I feel something happens every time I leave for a moment. Did that weird Lucy come back?”

Michelle is silent for a moment, her eyes are still lingering on me and I know she has a lot of questions. I also have a lot of questions about how I care so much about someone I met a few hours ago, how I am able to just know things about her. I have a lot of questions but she is not the one for me to ask, she is not in the position to answer any of my questions but before I get an answer to all of my questions, I will make sure to keep her by my side.

In all my thirty years of existence, I haven’t seen a woman who is in so much pain like the lady in front of me. She looks like she has the weight of the world on her shoulders and for some odd reasons, I want to numb that pain.

I scoff at myself as all these thoughts continue to roam around in my head, was I being serious right now?

“What do you mean get into the car?” Her voice jolts me out of my reverie and I let out a small sigh, I know she is going to throw a tantrum because of what I said.

“Should I enunciate every fucking word for you, Michelle? I said get in the car. You will spend a night at my hotel, I will send someone to get your stuff and bring them over to the airport tomorrow morning, is that too hard for you to understand?”

“Can you listen to yourself?” She uncrosses her hands from her chest, “what makes you think I want to even go with you, who the hell are you even to just barge into my life and act like we are acquainted?” She is getting agitated and it is visible on her face, “because of you, Nicholas….” Her voice trails off when she realizes what she is about to say but I already have a hang of the situation. Her ex husband’s name must be Nicholas and I am sure he heard about me from that ugly looking Lucy”

“Your ex husband asked about me?” I ask her.

“It is none of your business, you shouldn’t come close to me anymore”

“Do you think I wanna do this?” I am suddenly vexed, “do you think I want to stand in front of a hotel with a bag of spicy salad to give to a vegetarian wolf because I am madly in love with her?” I shake my head in the opposite direction, “of course not, Michelle and let’s not get started about the fact that you think I am coming close to you few hours after I met you beside you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen? Fuck, I have been with a lot of women but you are obviously more prettier and more curvier but that doesn’t mean that’s why I am hovering around you, Michelle” I move closer to her and encircle her waist in my hands, our faces only inches apart and I gulp at the sight of her plump lips.

“It’s not me, sweetheart” I tell her almost in a whisper, “it’s my wolf, it keeps drawing me to you, it keeps thinking about you and just knowing things”

“Enzo you..”

I immediately press my index finger over her lip and stop her from talking.

“I know this is creepy as hell but please Michelle, but you have to trust me, I am not going to hurt you. At least until I know what the fuck is going on with me, just please come with me”

“But I don’t even need you”

“Your baby needs the help of my doctor friend so technically” I shrug, “you need me just as much as I need you until I get over this madness of mine”

I pull her closer again, “please” I whisper over her hair, “get in the car sweetness”

After what seems like ages, she finally disengages from me with a frown on my face.

“Before that, how did you know I was craving salad and how did you know I don’t like meat when I am in my human form?”

“For the cravings, i just knew it” I am not lying by the way, “it just happened and for the vegetarian part, i kinda guessed it, Izzy hates meat”

Her forehead creases into a slight frown, “Izzy?”

“My kid sister”

“Did you do a background check on me?” Michelle asks again, this time crossing her hands over her chest again and I can’t help but roll my eyes.

“For the love of the moon goddess, Michelle” I am already frustrated with all of her questions, “get in the fucking car, kitten”
