“You have got to be kidding. Your enemies have become your friends and their enemies are now yours. But those enemies aren’t known.” Three hours later, Malcolm had Jordan and Ellie come to them to discuss this, because Melody insisted. Jordan could tell what happened here. She triggered his dominant nature, and he acted on it. Melody had that look of riding the pleasure and this wasn’t necessarily the best time to talk to her. “They’ve never been enemies. They just don’t play well with each other at times.” Jordan was trying to crack a joke about this situation. The poor girls looked thunderstruck with this news Malcolm had just laid on them. The known dynamic by the general shifter population was all a lie, so both alphas could save face with their packs and the general shifter population. “They’re friends, so we weren’t in danger from the Crimson Nights ever?” “Not from them, but from scum hired by a currently unknown person or group who are causing mayhem for us
Malcolm stared down at Melody even though they’d stopped arguing and been silent for quite sometime. “I will make you enjoy it.” He was talking about looking after herself. He said this like a cross between a threat and a promise. Melody couldn’t hide the shiver of excitement as the tension from their heated words turned into a heated excitement. An excitement created by the heat of their sexual attraction to each other. Emotions were high, and they were still building. Changing from hatred and anger to an angry passion burning deep within them both. Malcolm was prepared to make his point with a physical demonstration. He had every intention of taking her over his knee. Make her to the exercises the healer ordered and as the small device helped with that, he fully intended to spank her until the pleasure of the egg melded with the sting and burn of his palm landing on her bare bottom. If she apologized, he’d screw her until she couldn’t see straight. He had to. His
Ellie and Jordan returned to their condo a short time later. “What was that about? What couldn’t you say to him you couldn’t say in front of Melody and me?” “I wanted to express how worried I was about how Melody was acting. It was out of character for my liking.” “What did he say? Clearly, he said something because you aren’t a blood splatter on the door.” “Gee thanks. Ellie, I’m not sure what your reaction will be to this. But Malcolm forced her to get the first round of vaccines. He’s angry because he found out your birth den has a virus in it that can basically wipe it out, and Melody had it.” “Which virus?” “One Malcolm can’t pronounce. But it could have killed all of you. It still might kill your den before it’s gone.” Ellie didn’t respond for a moment. “We can’t give it to the pack, can we? I don’t feel sick.” She looked at herself as if she could see it. “Probably not, but there can be side effects. The healers can find out. They ca
“What do you mean, there’s a sewage leak?” Ellie got the call from the Market’s management staff. They were working on new products and training their staff. Management explained that the entire building is hard to be closed because of a health and safety issue. The aging sewer system was flooded and backed up be a severe rainstorm. Several buildings in the area incurred the same issue. They would call when it was safe again for them to enter the building. There was an investigation currently being run by the city why the blockage occurred. It is incident hit the news, and everyone watched in horror at the mess. In buildings and even the streets experienced the incident. “We’re going to need to find out how much we’ve lost and how much it will cost to clean up the shop for the insurance claim.” Melody said, sti
Malcolm sat in his office at the firm for the first time in what felt like forever. Only it was temporary. As the primary share owner of this firm, he’d have to move upstairs to a new office and into a corner office. He knew this day would eventually come and he could see everyone was on pins and needles as they waited for the axe to fall and who would get the boot? This was happening at the worst of times. However, it had to be done. Dang, he wanted Melody here. She could take some of the stress off. His mind went straight to the thought of her under the desk sucking him off, or bent over the desk as he pounded deep into her core. Neither of which was possible in this windowed office. There was no privacy to speak of. He was horny and missing Melody. Ma
Malcolm came home from the office to find Melody torn between playing with little David and his blocks. She was making towers, and he was knocking them down. Chatting happily with him. He noticed David was drooling quite a bit, and he worried for a moment before he remembered David probably was teething and would be off and on for many months. He’d read that in one book Jordan had found. This would be a messy time in their lives. He wasn’t sure how long the condo would survive David, his diaper, food, drool, learning to stand and walk. He decided he’d have to pack some of the art away so that it would survive until David was old enough to know better. Malcolm was attached to many of the pieces. He’d have to see about acquiring a couple more rooms from this floor. David needed a playroom where his toys could be scattered without becoming so much of a tripping hazard for his parents. Also, a room to store and display the art and such he took from the condo. Of course, a
Melody had been trying to work out what to do with the flooded shop. Pretty much she and Ellie needed to get down there to assess -the damage and lead the clean up. She had a list of things Malcolm needed for the firm done and there was little David. She was struggling to make it through the day sane. Melody hadn’t asked for her old job back, but she was afraid at the time to say anything. Now she was looking at adding pack duties to the list. She liked her job at the firm. Melody made promises to, and she was financially invested in their business. It was fun creating the recipes. She wouldn’t give up David if her life depended on it. Then there were pack duties. Duties Melody knew nothing about or what they needed or expected of her. Something had to give for her. It still scared her to say much of this to Malcolm as he swung hot and cold. She and Ellie had to go to the shop. No photo or video would do what their eyes could. They could le
“Jordan, I’m heading for the car now. We have twenty minutes to get to the meeting. So we’re preparing on the way to the meeting. There’s a lot.” Malcolm wasn’t on the way. He was sitting in the car waiting and going over everything he could. This was insane.Over forty-three incidents in the last three weeks. The Harbour Wolves lost three warehouses to fire right along the territorial line with the Don Valley Pack. The Don Valley Pack suffered several break-ins. Items taken were used or left behind during robberies in several businesses within the neutral zone. The Crimson Nights complained of someone stealing their protection racket payments by claiming they were Crimson Nights members.The fools didn’t understand that there were security cameras and other features they could use to identify the culprits. They may not know which pack they truly belonged to, but they could prove they didn’t belong to any of the packs on the council.As for the Parkside Pack, his pack, was hi
