“No,.. we just have a mountain of paperwork for you both to sign. Separation of pack pensions, 401k’s, and a few other things as well.” Scott nodded his head, indicating us to sit.
While we signed away, I thought back on everything Mike had put me through over the last couple of years, starting with my dad’s funeral; all of the missed birthdays and anniversaries, the late nights I had to put in at the bakery because he couldn’t be bothered, the lack of intimacy, everything. I felt so blind and stupid for following him around like a lost puppy, never opening my eyes to the narcissist bastard that he was. I told myself then and there that I would never look another guy in the face again if this was what a mate bond brought about.. nothing but headaches. Signing the last paper, I sighed and put down the pen. “Here you go, Alpha.” I sighed, relief that everything with Mike was almost over. I had never dreamed of cheating on him even once, so he and Tiffany could suck it for all I cared. “It looks like everything is in order now, so you’re free to go.” He shooed us away with his hand, not in the mood for small talk anymore. Mike got up and left first, leaving me alone with Alpha Scott. “Thank you for everything, Alpha Scott” I held out my hand to him, shaking his when he reached back. “No problem Melody, I hate that you had to go through this; but shit happens.” He gave me a crooked grin and leaned forward. “I kind of hated him to begin with. He was a pain growing up to have around. You never know, maybe you’ll find your fated mate. I found mine and it makes the world of a difference.” He shook his head and became a little more serious. “I especially hate that this happened all close to your birthday too, it was a real dick move on Mike’s’ part.” “Yes, it was, but everything will get better eventually… right?” I held up an eyebrow at him, not really expecting an answere. “Goddess knows.” Mike shook his head and smiled as he shrugged. “And I hope we will see you during the black tie gala Thursday. There is something on your birthday I hope you can do.” “What bake more cakes?” I smiled at him, picking up my purse to go. “I can’t say anything yet, it’s a secret; but please really consider going, it would mean a lot to me and my fiancée.” He waved by as I got to the office door, sitting down to do more work. I wonder what the favor is? He had picked my interest, that was for sure. I went to the front of the pack house, avoiding people bringing in vases of flowers and decorations for the week. I had heard some fancy party planner was coming tomorrow from Summer Paw, a pack down south, to coordinate everything that was going on. Misses Craig was nowhere to be seen, so I showed myself out. I decided that I needed a nap before going to the bank, I had time and I could stop by the bakery on the way there to check on Heather seeing as how it was her first time closing by herself. When I got home I kicked off my flats and laid down on the couch, figuring that it wasn’t worth getting comfortable in bed right now since I needed to leave soon. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I fell into a deep sleep, dreaming. ***** “Hello, darling.” A voice purred from the darkness. “Don’t you look like a treat.” I turned to the voice and sighed. “Oh, it’s you!” Teddy came forward into the light and winked. His chest was bare and glistening. The same color of black hair dusted his defined chest like an inviting nest. A trail lead down from his belly button to his erect member. “I was wondering when you would show up, I can’t wait to devour you.” Teddy stalked closer to me, making me blush with want. “Be a good girl and come here.” His warm and sexy voice purred into my ear from the distance, enticing me. I could hear the wolf just under the surface, calling to my own in a predatory way; promising pleasure and much more. I slowly sauntered closer to him, and when I was just in reach, an arm reached out quickly grabbing me by the neck and drug me the rest of the way. He brought my face to his, the hand gentle and firm, holding me in place as he devoured and savored my mouth. His tongue snaked into mine, playing with mine, but demanding compliance. I gave in readily, savoring his smokey flavor. His chest under mine felt like a nest of velvet. His abs pressed my breasts into peaks above them, the hair tickling my hardened nipples. His member was firm and erect, pressing into my stomach, just below my belly button. I could feel the pulsing buzz, calling to me as I reached to grasp it firmly in my hand…We had done Nix’s ceremony last week on the full moon, making sure all of our loose ends were tied up when it came to Dominion; and as a thanks she had let me visit with my parents for a while, both of them fawning over me and exited Nix would be showing them my wedding. There was also the surprise of another pup waiting for me with them, a little girl if I was not mistaken. The little wolf pup was almost the spitting image of my father’s, her eyes a startling blue as well. I smiled to myself then, glad that Teddy hadn’t noticed the morning sickness yet, I wanted to surprise him on our honeymoon. Heather was to my left as I held out my bouquet of flowers to her as Alvin gave me away to Teddy; her little girl with shocking red hair and brown eyes, Meadow, playing with the pail of flower petals still. I smiled at Teddy as Beta Walter began to speak. “Wolfkin who are gathered, we are here in love and in life, in honor of our Goddess and her way of blessings. We honor these
One year later Melody’s POV I stood at the door leading outside, Alvin at my left side. “I’m still mad at you for never telling me any of that!” I teased my uncle, poking him in the side as we waited. “Well, no one really asked me about anything here in America, so I liked being treated as a regular human being, no harm in that.” He shrugged at me. It turned out that Alvin had been a member of the SAS for the British, having been honorably discharged at a young age when a bomb shattered his leg, hence the cane. When he had joined his law firm, he had already had the clearance required for them to deal with their more ‘select’ clientele. His specialty had always been with swords, and training with wolves had given him an edge that few could surpass. He had taken down Axel’s mentor Hogarth within five minutes, making the Viking follow him around any time they were together now. The music changed outside, making me hold Alvin’s hand more tightly. “Are you re
Jude’s POV My Goddess… I was frozen on my feet as they wheeled the supposed hero of the war into the hospital wing, his scent hitting me like a freight train. When I saw his face as well, I felt the blood rush from my head and go straight to my toes, leaving me woozy and feeling ill. “Not like this…” I whispered. “Save Axel! Don’t touch me, focus on him first!” Melody yelled at the staff, using her alpha voice to get them to back off. The Doctor yelled at me again, spurring me into action and getting me out of my haze. I needed to save this wolf at all cost, not only to yell at him for never coming back for me, but to also make sure he knew he had four beautiful little girls in the world waiting for him. How the drunk I had hooked up with at the bar turned out not only to be my fated, but also that he saved our Queen was beyond me, but I could not afford to hesitate anymore. “Scalpel; clean off this area here.” The doctor gave orders for what seemed like hours, cutting
Axel’s POV That’s my boy! I was impressed with Teddy, not knowing that he could hot wire a vehicle, let alone do it in such short amount of time. It was a dick move of Dominic commanding Melody to do that as we ran, but she shouldn’t have to hold out much longer. We made it to the dock as Teddy sped off, sirens in the distance and getting closer to our location. “Keith! Stay behind and wait for Hogarth! Make sure he gets out alright.” Keith nodded at me and stayed behind, running back from the way I had come. He has pups and a wife at home, it’s not his fault he’s a brainwashed puppet just fallowing commands. But Luke, yah, he could die for all I cared. The bastard had it coming anyway. “As soon as we get on the boat, I’m making the call to clear the way!” I could see the waiting boat just at the end of the dock, making my heart skip in my chest as adrenaline started to flood me at the impending disaster. As soon as we jumped on, settling in with Hans Chambers and Luke, I
Teddy’s POV “What do we do now?!” I yelled at Axel, spitting up water. The walls of the room allowed for no traction to go back, the door being at least ten feet above us. “He said it was about halfway down to get out when he jumped through. I had to try and get rid of Hogarth though before joining them. I couldn’t very well take on that monster as well as Dominic to get Melody away!” “Then what about Alvin!! Melody will kill me if he dies, he’s her only family she has left.” “Don’t worry about the old man; he’s a legend of himself among the enforcers. Not many humans can take on two full grown wolves with only a sword as protection, his lawyer work was more of a hobby than anything; now dive!” Axel took a big gulp of air before going under the water, leaving me more confused than ever. Who the fuck was this guy and what did he do with the idiot I knew? Went through my head as I took a lung full of air and joined him in swimming down. And how the fuck is Alvin cons
I could see the moment his death became clear in his eyes, the options for them both bleak. Revenge was a good motivator though as he used his own blood to spell out ‘basement’ on the floor. I did not keep him waiting as I twisted his head to break his neck, the line that was trying to heal making it tear as I did, almost severing his head completely off. “Basement!” I yelled over the crowd, Alvin hearing me above the noise and nodding his head. We made our way as a pair, his silver armor a deadly combatant to the opposing wolves. It sizzled and smoked with each splatter of werewolf blood, making the eighty year old man the most deadly looking being to face these wolves; almost like walking death. I fought my hardest to protect any impacts or even wolves aiming for his head, Alvin already being too frail as an aging human. “This way, Uncle!” I called to him as I began to sprint, seeing drops of blood making a clear path of where they had taken off to, some of them smelling like M
