Melody POV
Where is he? I thought to myself as I walked around my SUV. He promised to be here and help. Mike, my husband, was nowhere to be seen. I sighed and shrugged. It was hard enough having to load the ten bags of flour by myself, but now I was going to have to bring them into the bakery as well. I would have tried the mate bond to contact him, but he had been ignoring me more than usual lately. Our bond was not really stable to begin with, not being fated mates and all. I had hoped though that Mike was truthful to me when he persued me those three years ago. Fresh out of culinary school and with some money saved to open my bakery, Mike had been one of my first customers- and my first lover. He claimed that even though we weren’t fated, he would persue me to the ends of the earth. Two months later; and I finally caved under the full moon during a rut for him. It was not my intention to lose my virginity that night, but something had made me feel wound up that evening during the pack run. Mike just happened to be nearby when I couldn’t take the itch anymore. Under the full moon, we had rutted our brains out for hours on a starlit patch of grass. It might have been my first time, but Mike had been gentle at first. His dick was a decent size too, I had thought at the time. And Mike had no issue performing, especially during the rut. But something had been missing. Now after three years, I was tired and always disappointed in Mike. It was like after we tied the knot- I was of no use to him anymore. It was almost like he had enjoyed the chase more than he enjoyed me. Our sex life was all but existent anymore. Up until two months ago, at least he would get the urge to bend me over and go to town on an all day session of love maybe twice a month if I was lucky. He always finished way before I could even orgasm- leaving me wanting and annoyed as he would pass out almost instantly. Now with a two month dry spell- and barely even a kiss on the cheek here or there, I was strung up on need and tired from working to cover his shift in the bakery as well. I went to the back door of the bakery and propped it open. Maybe I could get Tiffany to help me. Her best friend’s car was parked in its usual spot near the dumpster. It wasn’t her shift to work the counter today, but maybe she was just stopping in for a cookie or something. Picking up the first fourty pound bag of flour, I made my way into the back of the store and to the storage room. At first, I thought I heard some muffled voices from somewhere in the bakery, maybe it was a customer out front with the cashier. I made my way to the storage door and pushed it open. “Oh, God! Mike, Harder!” I stood still, shocked at the sight in front of me. On the pallet of sugar to the side, Mike and Tiffany were hard at work on each other. Mike’s ass bounced up and down as Tiffany’s legs were spread to either side of his hips, garishly up in the air like she was a paid p**n star. The wet sounds of slapping filled the air as Mike grunted away inside my friend. “Mike?” I gasped shocked. The bag of flour I was carrying was forgotten as I dropped it from my grasp. It hit the floor with an audible thud as the bag split and flour permeated the air. Mike and Tiffany stopped immediately and tried to cover themselves. Mikes penis bobbed about, swaying back and forth as he scrambled to cover himself. Flour was starting to gather on every surface, including his penis. It dusted it like a fresh layer of snow, mixing with the wet after effects of sex. “Babe, it’s not what it looks like…” Mike stammered as he pulled up his pants. “Not what it looks like?! Not what it looks like! Oh, so you’re not fucking with my best friend over the sugar for the store?” I shouted at the top of my voice. “ No wonder you haven’t wanted to touch me, you fat pig! And you, Tiffany, what the fuck?! You were supposed to be my best friend who I counted on, and here you are shagging my husband!” Tiffany scoffed, “ Best friend? yeah right. The only reason I have ever been around is for Mike. He would’ve been with me sooner, but he needed to get you out of his system first. Fuck, I even snuck you an aphrodisiac those three years ago so you would finally give yourself up. Then he feels guilty because you were a virgin and of course he had to marry you to make it right. Now after three years, I’m finally taking my Mike back you cow. He has always been my fated mate!” Tiffany’s face was red from yelling, matching mine from anger. My two staff members from the kitchen and the front of the store had gathered behind me and watch the spectacle. The flour had finally settled down and the mess was everywhere. “You drugged me!?” I was in shock. It all made sense now. I had never had the need to take anyone before that night, and Mike had never really been her type. The only real reason we had even married was because of the taboo in wolf culture. Taking a virgin on a full moon was considered proposing and swearing an oath to mate after. No one really followed that now days, but most of the pack was more traditional than anything. I hung my head. Of course I was blind and naïve back then, fresh out of high school- straight to college- and never really making any friends. “Get the fuck out.” I whispered dejectedly. Mike began to stammer. “No, no excuses. I Melody Swanson, reject you Micheal Swanson, as my mate and spouse.” The sting hurt; but I knew it was worth it. “Accept it Mike; I’m never going to take you back.” Mike flinched as the bond broke from my end. “But, Babe, I love you.” “Shut it Mike, screw you and screw your whore Tiffany.” Tiffany scoffed, “Just do it Mike, I’ve waited long enough for you. She’s had her turn and now it’s our turn for happiness.” She gushed at Mike in a sickeningly sweet voice. It was ridiculous seeing her covered in flour and halfway naked in the bakery. Mike sighed dejectedly. “I, Micheal Swanson, accept the rejection.” The bond snapped again, bringing Mike and me to our knees. I was quicker to recover and stood up. “Now get the fuck out of my bakery. I’ll send a lawyer to Tiffany’s later this week. And Mike?” “Yah, Babe?” He asked hopeful. “Don’t you dare go to my house, it was my dad’s. You can get your shit on Saturday.” With that, Tiffany and Mike dusted themselves off as best they could and rearranged their clothing. They left together out of the propped open back door. I stood in silence for another second, then turned around. My staff were still standing and watching me. “Time get back to work, the show’s over.” I felt like shit as I addressed my employees, well the two that I had left now. “Jim, Heather, can you give me a hand cleaning this up? And let’s add new sugar to the next list too. All of that can go in the dumpster.” I gestured to the seven stacked bags of sugar on their pallet. “Yes, Chef.” They both complied as I went to the wash station for the broom and mop. This was going to be a long ass week for me, and it was only Monday.Melody’s POV I was aghast with myself; trying desperately to get my wolf back under control, but the animal side of me was not having it. It kept on licking and sniffing Teddy making him laugh. “Calm down, beautiful girl. I think your human side is angry with you.” His voice seemed to have some effect on my beast, soothing it. I was soon able to reel her in and take over, but when I did, I realized all of my clothing was shredded behind me. Ah dammit! Now what am I going to do? I couldn’t shift back naked in the middle of the city! I rooted around the pile of rags, looking for something wearable, but to no avail. “Can I help you, Melody?” Teddy reached toward me. I growled at his outstretched hand, making him hesitate. “I would never hurt you, beautiful.” I huffed in exasperation, hopefully he wouldn’t take advantage of me in this state. Rooting around again, I found my purse and nudged it to him. He got the message and picked it up. Looking around in it, he brought out my wal
Melody’s POV Bzzzzt Bzzzzt, I gasped awake, sweating all over. My phone vibrated in my hand; the alarm I set on my phone flashing one pm. Damn, I thought, that was hot. I never had a wet dream like that before, and definitely never had one about someone I had only met once. I stretched and put my shoes back on deciding to park back at the pack house and take a short walk to the bakery, the day was beautiful and I did not want to waste such nice weather being inside. When I arrived, the motorcycle was the only thing in the lot, everyone else more than likely going somewhere for lunch. Walking down to the bakery, I was hit with the smell of something enticing; stirring up my wolf and making her perk up. The wind was blowing from the bakery, a figure sitting down and eating something from a box. When I got closer, the smell hit me full blast, I could make out the facial features. “fuck.” I got out before chaos ensued. ***** Teddy’s POV I couldn’t believe my luck as I saw Melo
Melody’s POV I trotted up the steps of my house, and waited for Teddy. At least I knew a little bit about this male now, but I still didn’t like the fact that I had to rely on him right at this moment. I hated to admit it, but I secretly hoped that he saw me shift, if only to get a reaction from him, but he seemed to be the perfect gentleman. I thought I had smelled arousal on him for a second, but I could have been wrong. When he opened the door for me, I quickly made it inside and yipped at him, hopefully he got the message to stay. I looked around, making sure that the curtains were drawn tight, then shifted back into my human form. That was so embarrassing I thought to myself. I hadn’t lost full control of my wolf since I was ten. Most werewolf books I had read for humans were wrong in the department of werewolves getting their wolf at a certain age. We were always born with our wolf. It is a part of is, so it is always there. What triggers the shift usually is hormonal. Fo
Melody’s POV Turning off the alarm, I crawled out of bed and headed for the shower, another steamy dream leaving me wanting. Normally I was up by three; at the bakery by four thirty, prepping for the day. It felt weird to be getting up so late on a Monday. After the cold shower, I went down stairs to the kitchen. I had prepped the dough for the donuts yesterday and had put it in the fridge to slowly rise for this morning. I cut and shaped them into various sizes; classic, twisted, and filled. I saved the holes from the classic to make some bites out of them. I let them rest as I prepped the oil for frying. Once they were fried and the classic glazed while they were warm, I let the others cool off. The twists I dusted with cinnamon and sugar. The filled I put a vanilla custard in the center and topped them with leftover caramel icing from the cupcakes Saturday. After all was said and done, I had two dozen to bring with me to the pack house. Alpha Scot
Melody’s POV After everything I did for Mike, for him to pull this stunt really was the one thing that broke my heart. He knew how much the business meant to me, and to jeopardize it in such a fashion was really the last straw. I spent the rest of the day going through the house and getting the rest of Mike’s things, which wasn’t much after his clothing. It was like he just moved in and left things as they were, not even making his own mark. The only place that really was almost all his was the basement, where his home gym set up was. Movers came by at six that evening with a list from the lawyer what they would be taking and I directed them where to go. It took them two hours just to get the exercise machines from the basement. After all was said and done I was exhausted and worn out. I went to the living room and sat down on a wingback chair, snacking on some macarons from Monday. Looking back on everything, I should have saw the signs of M
Melody’s POV “I told you the other day on the phone, stop calling me Babe.” I had requested mediated phone calls that week as I had gotten the layer to set up today for Mike to get his things. “You can come into the living room until the lawyer gets here; but that’s it” Mike huffed and shoved past me into the house. The living room was small, but cozy. One wall was covered in wooden bookshelves, and the other a fireplace with a television mounted above it. The third wall had a picture window that looked out at the street. Mike sat in the winged back chair and looked to me. “How has your week gone, Mells?” Mike attempted small talk, sensing the tension in the air. “Fine, except for the fact that my husband fucked who I thought was my best friend of three years.” I spit out husband like the word was poisoned. Mike flinched at the bite in my voice. “Erm, uh, well I’m happy to hear that you’re doing okey…” After another few minutes of both of us sitting i
