MELANIE’S POVEverything was going well until I was told by someone that there was going to be a feast for me and my child. Not that I didn't want it, but I didn't know how to feel about it. With the insecurity I felt about my body, I don't think I'll be able to handle been in a room full of people bustling with joy and energy and not spoil the atmosphere. Dwane was doing this for me and I knew it. It was just that, I was not sure I could cope with the way and state my body is in. He has never at any point made me feel insecure or anything. It was all in my head and I knew it. Sometimes, when I wake up in the morning and look at myself in the mirror, without his knowledge and him knowing of course, I sometimes felt like crying. But looking in the bright side, was Talon, my child. As I looked at him now in the carrier that he was inside, I smiled. He was already looking at me. He smiled back, rubbing his small, cute palms together. Everyone that met me on the way has been compleme

MELANIE’S POVEverything was going fine and well. Dwane had actually introduced me to most people in the room of higher status. I was literally on his arm through out. He didn't allow me to leave, kissing the side of my head from time to time. I know I would have a permanent blush on my face through out the party. The only time he left me alone was the time I said I wanted to check on Talon. He seemed to be having the time of his life with Ana. Enjoying the attention of the people that surrounded him. Some of them were actually people I don't know that seemed to be around my age. The feast was in full swing now. After the dance that Dwane and I had opened, we all went in to the other side of the ballroom that was a very large dining table.I didn't know a table could be that long. It literally accommodated everyone in the party. Different and assorted foods where there. Mainly meat. Maybe because of the alphas that were around.I had noticed that in Dwane too. He won't eat a meal i

MELANIE’S POVI was stressed. Mentally and emotionally, I was exhausted. Not that I will have it any other way. But, who knew training and taking care of a child would be this exhausting. These days or maybe this past few months has been the best of my life. The fear I had when I just gave birth to my baby just blew away as soon as they came. Things worked well for me. Dwane and I talked about a lot of things after that party night that he gifted me a car. He pestered me and me tell him everything that was on my mind. Which I did. He had first laughed which made me angry, but then he later explained to me that he loved me that way. He even said that he like the exta pounds of flesh that I added on. I had not believed him then, but his actions worked it out. He made me feel beautiful in every sense of the word. I didn't feel pressured to wanting to change how I was. Even though I later reduced with some exercises that I strictly kept my self to and a few training sessions with him

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

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
