Kissed by the Moon Goddess

Melanie’s POVMy eyes lock on him as I watch Jaxon get out of his car through the window. He walks into the diner with his best friend, Ameer, on one side of him while on the other side, he has his arm around one of the pack sluts, Kaylee. It just proves that he'll stick his dick in anything, but he is Alpha material, right? As they walk past, the smell of cinnamon and vanilla smacks me in the face. It's overwhelming nonetheless sweet and mouthwatering. I didn't know they made perfume that smells like French toast. No wonder all the unmated males were all over Kaylee; she reminded the poor bastards of food. They are seated across the room from us. I swear he must be stalking me or something since this is the second time seeing him and the morning isn't even over yet. My eyes lock with his, but I quickly look away. I can feel the heat burning my cheeks.

(Song: “I’m Ok” by Christina Aguilera) Mel’s POV I storm out of the Academy flipping off and cursing Dad's name underneath my breath. How fucking dare he say those things to me in front of other people! Especially in front of Jaxon! He doesn’t even deserve to be Alpha. I get into my car and mind-link Bliss. What's wrong, honey bun? My dad is the biggest dick ever! She sighs. We already knew today would be hard for you. Yeah, but I planned to avoid him. Tell me why he purposely sought me out. He didn't! He did! And in front of his little golden child. Wow I'm so sorry sis, that's so messed up. I can't do this anymore, Bliss. I think tonight I'm going to leave. She is silent for a long moment. I really hope you're joking, Mel.

(Song: “Numb” by Linkin Park) Jaxon's POV I slowly button up my blue dress shirt and tuck it into my black slacks. Tonight, Alpha Damon is announcing that I am the next Alpha and in four days I will have my ceremony. I can't believe that this is happening. Alpha took me under his wing when I was 12 years old, when my dad was killed in a rogue attack; Ava was just a baby then. Ever since, I have done everything he's ever asked me to, and now my hard work is finally paying off! "Jaxon!" Mom calls from downstairs, "Alpha Damon is here!" I check myself out in the mirror once more before I head down. Alpha Damon is sitting on the couch, his arms crossed in front of his chest. He is wearing a black suit that is tight against his huge, muscular build. "Alpha," I greet, baring my neck before sitting down on the forest-green love seat across from him. "I am very proud of you, son." "Thank you, Alpha." I furrow my brows waiting for him to continue. I know that he didn't just come

(Song: “Best Part” by Daniel Caesar ft. H.E.R.) Mel's POV I try to shake away my anxiety as I place my hands on his shoulders and he places his on my waist. At first, we awkwardly sway back and forth, but after the first time he spins me around, I find myself flawlessly gliding across the wooden floor. We move in sync, letting the gentle music captivate us. He smells good. He looks even better. That slutty breakfast aroma mixes well with his cologne. I have also never realized that his eyes remind me of the forest in spring; they are bright, gentle and beautiful. I can't help but get lost in them as we waltz around in circles. For a moment, everyone else disappears and it's just him and I floating on a cloud. Wait...I'm not supposed to be enjoying this. This is my rival, and I have a mission to accomplish. I don't have time for this. On the way over here, I considered turning around and taking Moon far away from this town, but I di

Jaxon’s POVAs we pull into the driveway, Melanie's scent hits me hard. I park beside her car, sensing that her and her sister are both still inside. Shadow perks up inside my head. You're early, Beta Melanie. I already had her bag packed. Just waiting on your slow ass to show up. I smirk to myself as I get out of the car and gently pick up Ava from the back seat. Mom follows beside me and opens the front door. I cradle her in my arms as I carry her upstairs to her room and lay her in her bed. I gently tuck her in and plant a kiss on her forehead like I've done every night since Dad passed away. When I return downstairs, Melanie and Moon are sitting on the couch across from Mom. Moon looks terrified as she clings onto her sister. I feel so bad for her. She probably has no idea what's going on. I sit down beside Mom. "Melanie, Jaxon hasn't given me many details as to why you need Moon to stay here. I do feel like they are important to share with us since we would be
