Melody Reese"You what?" Caleb asked, almost tipping over the bleachers with laughter."I'm telling you, I knew something was wrong when Draven didn't shift when they got to the border." Holden said it with a light laugh, sending me a sideways glance."Did you seriously walk with your dress half zipped and Draven shirtless with both of you barefoot?" Jones asked again, laughing out loud when I nodded."That is some entertaining shit. I wish I saw you two running like mad people." Mason said, watching as teens in training began to trickle in."Good thing you didn't." I responded with a smile."I bet you had a lot of fun, though." There went Jones again, wiggling his eyebrows."Oh, I had fun, alright?" I remembered Draven and me on the dancefloor, moving as one to the beat. I could still feel his tight grip on me, his cock grinding on my ass, each time sending a jolt of want to my pussy. I remembered how we found ourselves in the men's washroom and went at it, locking people out as we f

Melody ReeseOne minute I couldn't keep my eyes open as I talked to Draven; the next I was back in our house, in our bed, covered up to my neck with the comforter. "She's awake!" I heard my mate's shout of relief, then felt his hands wrapping me in a warm hug. Then I opened my eyes, looking past his shoulder as the door burst open and Scarlet ran in, her shoulders slumping in relief when she looked at me.My father soon followed, sending a weak smile my way. "What's happening?" I asked, inhaling Draven's scent and letting it calm my racing nerves."You don't remember?" He pulled back, placing his hands on either side of my face as he gazed into my eyes. It was as if he were searching for something, something that he expected me to know, maybe."Remember what?" I asked, my throat itchy and dry. I cleared it, making his mom fetch water from the mini fridge in our bedroom."Don't overwhelm her; your magic was too much for her. She will remember after she has settled." His mother said, op

Melody Reese"Pl-ease." Nancy's whimpers had my weak legs tingling, itching to deliver a kick to her mouth to make her shut up."It must feel so bad to know that you're a failure." I mocked when the guard inside unlocked the door following Draven's command. She was suspended in the middle of the cell, her hands tied with silver chains that were attached to the concrete above. Her clothes were torn, and her body was whipped, clawed, and bitten, allowing blood to trickle and pool on the ground beneath her.The cell reeked of iron, burnt flesh, ammonia, tears, and so many other things I didn't have the luxury to pinpoint. "Has she revealed who she's working with?" Draven asked the guard, who glared at Nancy and then punched her in the stomach. She winced, coughing blood mixed with saliva that trickled down her chest."She hasn't said a word, except beg." He replied, nodding at the alpha after they exchanged a word telepathically. He left, leaving us inside alone with her."Why did you wa

Melody ReeseMy chest constricted as I watched Draven walk away, his shoulders slumped and his gaze cast down. The sound of the door closing with a bang pulled me back to bitter reality. I had hurt him in front of his own mother and my mother. I had undermined our bond without a care, disregarding his love for me and his alpha position. But for my plan to work, it had to be done. I needed to make him angry and create tension between us so I'd have a reason to raise a barrier between our bond."As the luna, you just want to do what's good for the pack," his mother said, placing her hand on my shoulder as a tear passed past my eyelid, "but don't let it come between you and your bond." She finished, busing herself with the dishes."If I were you, I'd be running after him." Those were the only words my father uttered before fishing out his phone from his pocket. He furiously typed before looking at me with an emotion I couldn't identify. Then he spoke, his voice trembling before he covere

Melody ReeseI tried getting through Draven for the umpteenth time, but my attempts proved futile. The more the man ventured further into the woods, the more my heart beat in my ears, blocking any other sound. My senses weren't heightened since my wolf was knocked out. My limbs couldn't move either nor could I let out any sound. Every part of me except my eyes and my insides seemed to be paralyzed."You have such a delectable ass." The rogue made an hissing sound, sending my heart leaping in my throat. "It's too bad I was told to bring you to my master quickly." He, using his other hand to palm my ass. I closed my eyes, the contents in my stomach churning as his touch elicited nothing but disgust from me. "Been long since I fucked a mated she-wolf." He outright said. A cold wave washed over me as the hairs on the back of my neck rose and my mouth ran dry. I had never been in such an helpless situation in my life, not even when Nathan tied me to the dance pole and whipped me. At leas
