MELANIE’S POVI opened my eyes slowly. The room was dim and hooded by the window blinds. Prying my eyes open, I looked at the bedside clock and the time said that it was six in the evening.The events of the day came rushing back to me. I sat up immediately looking around for my son or mate. I was about to throw away the bed duvet that covered me when the door opened, allowing light fro the hallway to pull into the room. Squinting at the sudden brightness, I looked up and Lily walked into the room. "You're up." She said, switching on the lights. I closed my eyes so that the sudden brightness will not make me dizzy, opening them slowly. I was about to say something, when she raised her hand up, in sign for me to not fret."They're fine. Talon has slept off on Dwane's chest, who is also sleeping." She said and I calmed down a little. Few hours ago, both if our lives was put in jeopardy, by a random gunman. I was enjoying the time of my life with my mate and something like that happ
MELANIE’S POVI clutched to Dwane on the bed, opening my eyes wide. I was wide awake, not been able to close my eyes even to sleep. There were times that my mind revered back to what happened and I was scared.It's been almost a week now since the insident happened and I haven't completely shook it off. I couldn't. Dwane didn't allow me to go outside any longer. He stayed with us at any chance he could get. The issue about the guy just died down like that. Nothing came up any longer from the police which confirmed our fears that something was wrong. Dwane knew about the creepy eyes that I said I felt following me. He got mad at me for not telling me all those months ago and I tried to defend myself by telling him that it was something I didn't count to be a big deal.I eventually apologized to him and we settled things out. Nothing really strange happened since except the fact that I was overly suspicious of everyone around me. My guard was always up, and I was always jumpy. We tri
DWANE’S POVAt this point I knew I had had to summon Freya to come to the house or maybe to go and see her personally by myself.Things were getting out of hand. At least I knew that by myself. That things were not going as it should, generally.Mel has been having nightmares for a week now after the incident where she had suddenly screamed in the middle of the night. There was nothing I could do about it but accept it. I could not help her in anyway.The feeling that something was wrong or that something would happen anytime soon hung in the air. There was this awkward sensation I felt that someone was watching us. Closely. Mel didn't seem to be herself anymore. I hated how she had turned out. I wanted to at least do something for her.I tried mindlinking her but I thibk she blocked me off. I told Aren to look after Mel and everyone and I went searching for her. She lived in the outskirts of the pack. The last time I was here, I came bearing good news. But now, things seemed to ha
MELANIE’S POVThe tears already dried from my eyes or probably from the source where it came from. I was not expecting something like this happen at all.I thought whatever it was or whoever it was that was doing this was only out for me. I had tried hard to protect my child from the clutches of this power.My own powers even felt useless because I could not use them to protect myself from them or it. Now they've started with my child. I stared into space not been able to focus on anything at all. Maybe the moon goddess should just take the power away and let me know I was an ordinary wolf. What was the point of having them if they could not help me protect my loved ones? I felt a hand on my shoulder and I looked up to see Ana looking at me with a firece look on her face. This was why I liked her, she didn't give me the pity look that a regular normal person would. Even in the situation I find myself in right now. "Don't talk like that, Mel. You'll be fine. There's a reason why t
UNKNOWN’S POVShould I just speed things up and get this over with? Make my child get what he deserves as soon as possible?This endless journeys from the freaking pack to my abode every few days was draining. Not like I was complaining. Really. But I wanted to see them suffer. They should not have it easy. Just like I didn't. Little did they know what enchantments could do. And I was ready for them with everything that I had. I entered into the cottage and the familiar homey scent wafted across my nose. My definition of homey was herbs and different leaves used for concoction and spells.To an ordinary person, it might smell disgusting. But to me, it was home. The perfect place to be. Call me crazy though, I'll gladly enjoy it. My son was sorted on the same chair, staring at the same thing. He always had a way of pissing me off. He was too daft and annoying to see the bigger picture. For an eight year old boy, he could do better. I was sure younger than him when I started castin
MELANIE’S POVSix months laterI wave of ease clung around me as I watched Talon learn how to swim with his father in the pool of the house. I laughed when he actually ducked Dwane and swam like a turtle, twisting and turning out of his grip.That's my boy. He laughed out, more like shrieked out his laughter, when his father could not catch up with his laughter. I loved how much he was attached to his dad. Even though I got jealous at times, but it was all for show. I loved him anyways. He'd sometimes come to me while I was sleeping on the couch and wrap himself around me. He loved sleeping on top of my bossom. Probably got that from his dad, cause does that at every relaxing time he got. We've. Had a lot of fun this past months. Although there was still this dark cloud hanging and hovering around us somewhere, and we both knew this. But we have tried to get past it. And make the most of our time and each other when we had it. The weeks after Talon's incident were kinda itchy. But
DWANE’S POVMy whole body froz as soon as I saw the person that walked in front of the intruders. My head wheezed from the amount of blood that was rushing past my ears. I put on a brave front not wanting to show weakness at all."Long time no see old friend." He said with an annoying smirk I wanted to wipe away from his face. But I didn't move from where I was standing, not wanting to endanger my mate's life. "What is the meaning of this, Andrew?" I asked, his name tasting like a bitter pill in my mouth. *What is the meaning of what?" He asked me, clicking his teeth together annoyingly. He had a smirk on his face that I wanted to wipe off with a punch on the face.Andrew is the alpha of a rival pack that had been on my neck all this while. We've had a go at this before and I kicked his ass. He was an older alpha, so his ego was bruised. But he knew when to stop. That was some few years back. It had happened when I had just claimed the position of been an alpha. Probably he though
MELANIE’S POVI was awake by I could not open my eyes. My body felt woozy and foozy. I felt like I was lead and that I'll break anytime if I moved too much. Slowly, I opened my eyes trying to fix it in adjustment to the brightness of the room. Was it supposed to be this bright? It was so hard to focus. All my thoughts were moving in different directions. As much as I'd love to collect them all in one place, I couldn't. This made me more frustrated than I already am.Suddenly the events of last night came crashing on me. Why was it day break so fast? I felt like we should still be in yesterday's evening. The events. Attack.Fighting.My son….I sat up sharply which caused my eyes to turn at the sudden movement I made. I didn't care. All that was in my head was getting to my son. Was he fine?Was he okay? Did anyone hurt him by any chance?If that bastard named Andrew had layed his filthy fingers in him, hell no have it easy, I thought dangerously as I tried to drag myself off the b
