DerekIs that Melody? Did she just shift? I mean, Melody was standing here a few minutes ago and now there's this snow white wolf in her place. She can't possibly be the wolf I see here right now can she? Melody could be anything and everything, but she can never be a wolf. How is that possible? I believed it when Miranda said she's an enchantress. I also believed it when Maximus said she was a witch but I will never accept that she's a wolf and not just any wolf, she got the white wolf. The white wolf which everyone believes that they only exist in stories. Could this also be one of her magics? As much as I would love to believe that this was done by magic, I know it isn't because no witch can conjure a white wolf. Oh goddess. How did Melody get so blessed?I couldn't understand how things took such a turn. I tried to think back to everything that happened since she got back and I found my answers.I was drawn to Melody because I was her mate. I couldn't smell her back then
Derek"Keep in mind that you won't be taking the princes because they belong here only."That line sounds cliche but I kinda like it. My sons only belong with me and there's no way I'm letting them get taken from me.As much as I would love to disagree with the viscount for picking on Melody, I couldn't, because this is my cue. This is the part where I have to step in and make my presence known. I have to announce my decision to Melody and let her know what her choices are, and if you ask me, I think the Viscount's offer is a fair deal. Yet, I wonder why Melody wouldn't just take it. She's being so stubborn for naught. "The Princes?" Melody scoffed. "I don't remember being familiar with any Prince," She shrugged. "So why would I want to leave with any?"Now, that's a terrible taunt. What does she mean by that?"Thumbs up to whoever your teacher is, but I will be more than happy to show you who the master is."The viscount was back to fury mode and this time, his fury is justified
Derek "What if I tell you what their plan is?"The viscount looked at me as if I just spoke a strange language. "You know what their plan is?" He had a look of disbelief. "I do," I replied impatiently and told him all I heard. "I'll prepare a counter plan," he replied and left swiftly. I watched him leave and I could smell his excitement. He was excited to ruin Melody's exfil plan and bring her down to her knees. As much as I hated this act of his, I couldn't speak against it. At least not just yet. I have too much to benefit from this. A few hours later, the viscount returned with the plan. He fixed some soldiers everywhere around the port and sent spies to keep an eye on Dorian and Melody so that we'll be informed when they make a move. I was surprised when I got the signal in the wee hours of the morning. I immediately headed to the port as agreed, but I wasn't expecting to find my parents and everyone else there. I thought the plan was between the viscount and me, but ap
DerekI fell to my knees as the pain of separation hit me. My wolf was raging. He wanted our mate. Melody is gone. She didn't choose me. She chose Dorian. She chose that bloody Dorian over me. How could she? I couldn't speak because my mouth tasted bitter. I couldn't swallow the bitterness. The pain was excruciating. It was becoming difficult to breathe. My pups are gone. Melody is gone. I clutched my chest and grit my teeth. "Was that Melody?" Sophia chose this moment to add salt to my bleeding heart. Why did she have to ask that now? We all saw what happened, didn't we? We all saw Melody shift. It was a real wolf not a caricature. It wasn't the creation of magic but a real life wolf and we all witnessed it. Why did she have to ask the obvious?"You saw it too, didn't you?" She went to my Malcolm. "Malcolm, Melody had the goddess' crown. She is the...."Sophia couldn't speak the rest of the words. She placed her chest on Malcolm's chest and cried. Leaving me to wonder if it
Melody "Momma, you can relax now."Aaron rubbed my fur as he spoke. His hand brushed gently through my fur, making my nerve calm. "Yes momma, we're far from Mallory now. They can't catch up." Giovanni added as he placed his head on my body. He could probably tell that I was furious. I want out of Mallory, my father and Derek. I will not trade my kids for anything and my father made the mistake of wanting me to choose. How could he? He's committed several atrocities towards me which I could forgive, but asking me to lead my pups behind is one thing I would never forgive. He snatched my childhood. Gave me a pain-filled life and when I finally get to be happy by being blessed with the goddess' gift to me: my pups. He wants me to leave them behind. How could he think that? I tried everything possible. I tried not to disrespect him. To respect the relationship we shared but he chose to abuse it. "It's Okay, Mel," Dorian added. I took a deep breath and slowly shifted. I was back t
ViscountWas that Melody? I blinked once. Twice and thrice but nothing changed. The person standing before me remained the same. Melody was standing before me as a wolf. A white wolf. My supposed wolfless daughter is a white wolf. The goddess' incarnate. How did that happen? Wasn't she supposed to be useless and wolfless?I stared wide-eyed at Melody as she displayed her strength and anger. From the day of her birth to this moment. I have always been mad at her even though the poor child has nothing to do with the past. However, she reminds me of a past I so badly want to forget. Who would have thought a child born out of shame would turn out to be the goddess' incarnation? I remember vividly all that happened that night at Silverstone Pack. I was drugged by my enemies when I visited the pack. I found myself in a room with a strange woman by my side. Confused and scared, I left the room without informing anyone of my whereabouts. Good enough, I had completed the work for which
ViscountI've been a terrible father and I know it. However, every time I tried to atone for my past sin I just so happen to ruin it with my vengeful personality. Even though I knew that I had to handle my remorse with caution, I couldn't let go of my imposing character and embrace Melody. Instead, I wanted her to bend to my will but my daughter proved to me that she's all grown. Melody proved to me that she's grown from being timid and shy to being bold and outspoken. She refused to be pushed around by anyone even though I was her father. I was overjoyed when the King asked for my help to help keep Melody in the kingdom because his will aligned with mine. Never would I have thought that this would widen the rift between Melody and me. I would always see that she was disappointed every time I spoke harshly to her. It bothers me to see her disappointed, but I am who I am, I do not go back on my words and that's one thing I regret now more than ever. I wish. I just wish I could t
MelodyI opened my eyes slowly and turned to assess the room. I caught sight of that familiar relaxed ambience of the room and smiled with contentment. It felt good to be home. This is home. This is where I belong. I have come to love and appreciate this place so much. This pack means a lot more to me than anywhere else. It has become a place I do not want to part with. My home. And Dorian has slowly become a part of me that I do not want to lose. He can be cold to everyone else, but to me, he is that sweet man every lady wants. He is the man that sheltered me when my father sent me wandering off. Dorian gave me solace and peace. He gave me a home. Even though I didn't embark on this journey with love at first, now Dorian is my love. My kids are my life and this pack is my home.This is the place where I was accepted for who I am. Even though I was wolfless, no one looked down on me. I was awarded as much respect as I deserved. My pups weren't targeted for being fatherless. N
