"Who are you?" Eleanor asked as she settled on the couch opposite Melody Melody wrinkled her nose as the smell of strong perfume hit her hard. The woman in front of her must be the person Butler Collins and Rebecca went to meet outside. She heard their voices when they were talking outside but she could not hear what they were actually saying even when she tried to strain her ears. Just after a glance at the woman who looks a little like her with her blonde hair and green eyes and face caked up with heavy make-up, Melody thought that she did not like the woman. At all. Just as she was about to answer the woman's question about who she was, Rebecca cut in. Rebecca snapped behind Eleanor "who she is is none of your business. You should stay in your lane" Melody was surprised at the tone Rebecca used. She had never heard Rebecca use that voice on anyone but still she did not know Rebecca too well. "Whatever" Eleanor snickered as she relaxed back on the couch but her
"Are you done Alpha? The car is ready" Micheal told Hunter "Yes, can we go now?" Before Micheal could respond, the door burst open and Noah was standing there breathing fast "Alpha, we are under attack" The three of them ran down the stairs of the house which was built for the pack sentries. It was close to that pack border where they could get some sleep anytime they were off duty or needed rest. "How many are they?" Hunter growled as he pulled off his t-shirt " Over fifty of them" Noah answered taking off his top too "Fuck" Hunter let his wolf take over as he ran out of the house, his paws hitting the ground with heavy thudding sounds as he burst into the woods in the direction of the border. Noah and Michea's wolf flanking his sides as they ran together. Hunter's wolf growled angrily when he got to the border and saw the intense battle that was already going on. They were outnumbered and his sentries were already weak but at the sight of him they stood up
The doctor was not done with cleaning his wound when his father and mother arrived at the scene. "What happened Hunter? Are you okay?". His mother was already reaching out to check his body for other wounds apart from the one she could see the pack doctor cleaning. "I'm fine mom" he held her hand in his and squeezed it softly. His worrywart mother did not in the least believe him. "Are you sure?". Derek threw one arm around his wife's shoulder and drew her to his side "Nomi, he is fine. Our son is strong" he told her. She shuddered off his arm before glaring at him " I told you we should stay back but you just had to insist on going to lanslobe today". Hunter stood up when the doctor was done plastering his wound which was already healing up "mom, I'm fine aren't I? I'm still in one piece and most people here sustained more injury them I did, you should be checking up on them and not me" His word worked like magic " that's true I need to check up on the others. At l
Hunter bounded up the stairs to his room. He stopped just outside his door and sniffed the air trying to catch a whiff of Melody's scent but the only scent in the air was that of strong and expensive perfume making his nose itch. That perfume could only belong to one person and it was Eleanor. Why was the scent in front of his room anyway? Surely she was not inside his room waiting for him right?. Rebecca would not allow that, he knew for sure. In the past, he loved his privacy but he gave her the freedom to enter his room as she likes. Now, the image of her being inside his room made him cringe. He already smelled her and heard the soft taps of her footsteps against the tiled floor of his mansion before she called out his name. "Hunter?" Eleanor bent her head to the side as she walked closer to Hunter. She was surprised to see him but she heard him when he drove in and smelled him when he entered. She could not believe that he drove throughout the night to return home just b
The house was filled with lively laughter and discussions when Melody descended the stairs the next morning. She could easily pick out Rebecca and Arianna's voices. She knew that they were not the only ones there because she could hear other feminine laughter. When they came into view, she saw that it was Rebecca, Arianna, Samantha and Zain that were there. Morgan was absent. "Hey good morning, beautiful" Arianna was the first to notice Melody. She stood up and hurried over to her. "Morning". Melody could not keep the smile off her face as Arianna embraced her. She returned Arianna's hug wholeheartedly. She did not stiffen nor did she feel like moving away. "Eh? Where are you off to this morning?" Arianna asked as she eyed Melody's choice of outfit. "I'm going to work '' Melody replied as her eyes went in the direction of the dinning room in search of Hunter. She did not see him there and her questioning eyes went to Rebecca. "He has gone to work, '' Rebecca t
"I'm taking it" the both of the chorused as they each let go of the blue gown causing it to drop on the floor. The both of them lunged themselves at the red gown. The salesperson was wise enough to let go of the gown and step to the side. She thought she would be able to get them to stop fighting for the blue gown but apparently she was wrong. She created an even bigger problem. "Zain what the hell, you said you were the first person that saw the blue gown but now you also want this one?" Samantha asked Zain. " You fought with me for the blue one so why can't I fight with you for this one?" Zain asked, her expression gloating. Rebecca stood arms akimbo as she eyes both girls, "well, since you both can't decide on who is taking the blue or red gown why don't you hand it over to me then? " Samantha and Zain turn on Rebecca " shut it". They faced each other and were about to continue quarreling when Zain suddenly became stiff and her eyes turned molten red. Zain rais
The girls got into the car and went to the local market to buy foodstuff before going back to Hunter's house. They wanted to cook their lunch by themselves and Melody, who was hungry, couldn't wait. She slapped a sandwich together and ate it before joining them to cook. She picked up the apron they kept for her and wore it before standing beside the four girls to watch them. They worked together quietly but in sync. She watched them as they mixed the ingredients for the chili con carne they were making, expertly measuring everything. She helped them in any way she could as she also tried to learn how to make the food. Hunter's kitchen was equipped with model cooking utensils so everything they needed was there. When the food was finally ready, they marched to the dining room, each of them with a tray containing their portion of the food. Melody nearly bit her finger in a haste while eating because of the delicious taste of the food. The girl watched movies after movie bef
Hunter was around so Melody and Rebecca ate breakfast alone. Before Melody could think of what she would do to kill the boredom she could already see stretching in front of her, Rebecca suggested that they go visit Hunter at his office and Melody immediately jumped at the idea. Hunter was not in his office when they got there and neither was Liliana. "They must have gone out for a meeting". Rebecca told Melody and she sank down on Hunter's chair behind his desk and picked up the document he left lying there. They remained there for a while. "This is jargon". With a huff, Rebecca slammed down the file she had been skimping through. She did not understand anything that was written there and that was why she chose to follow in her grandfather's and her mother's footsteps in becoming a chef. "Is it that hard?". Melody asked and when Rebecca looked at her in confusion she said, " business, I mean. Surely it can't be that hard". Rebecca slouched on Hunter's seat, " it's h
