But I know that he only considered me because Lili, his long-time girlfriend and maybe his greatest love dumped him for someone more accomplished than he is. Malachi was deeply hurt, I know he was into alcohol for some time to move on. Others say Lili married into a Royal family in Britain while others speculated that she married into a Mafia family in Italy. Whatever it was----I was glad that Malachi chose me.
I loved him since the day I saw him. I was 16. So, when he made his moves on me, I took it and we became inseparable. Z always harbored a negative feeling towards Mal. She doubted his intentions, but at the same time, she also wanted me to be happy. Mal and I made it official when I turned 18 and our pack was delighted. My family came from a prominent wolf ancestry. They say I was the perfect match for him. Mal claimed me when I turned 20. I was on cloud nine!
Ah, it had been seven years. Seven long years. I sighed and waved goodbye to Z. My other hand unconsciously rubbing my belly. “I hope the ring will come soon, baby. Daddy and Mommy love you.”
I was about to go inside when I saw Mal’s car approaching. I waited to greet him but he swooped right past me. My smile faded instantly as I followed him inside the house. “Hi. Did you not see me?”
“I saw you, I’m just busy thinking of what to wear to this meeting.” He rummaged in his closet, searching for a suit. Strangely, he never picks his suit. It was always my job.
“Oh. Are you hungry? I am going to make breakfast. What do you want?”
“Nah, I’ll grab takeout on my way to the office.” Mal kissed me on the cheek. I am a wolf and very pregnant. My sense of smell is amplified. He smelled of floral perfume. “This is a very important client, Dani.”
“Aren’t you going to ask if…” my voice trailed. I texted him but he didn't seem concerned about the spotting.
"About what?"
"N-nothing," I smiled. Picking up after him and putting the soiled clothes in the hamper. I've never seen him use it before. It was always the floor.
