Derek"Melody" That seems to be the only name I hear lately. Even my name is starting to sound like that. I wonder what has gone wrong in my head. Sometimes she even appears in my dreams. The irony of my situation is very funny, isn't it? I mean, the woman I spent half of my life hating has started haunting my dreams. Just not in a frightening but in a disturbing way.I feel disturbed and restless. She doesn't care what I think or do to her. Unlike before when what I think matters to her. Sometimes I wish that Melody would return. I am not used to this phlegmatic one. She doesn't even care who I am. The respect she gives me is just a necessity. I'm sure she wouldn't respect me if she had a choice. I see no ounce of respect for me in her eyes. The way she addresses me sounds like a taunt coming from her.She never hides her hatred for me and that hurts something in me. Probably my male ego. I see her everywhere. I hear her laughter every time and I keep remembering those long tre
MelodyMy father believed that I was raped because I seduced men. He thinks whatever happened to me was what I deserved? Why? Why does father hate me so much? Why would he think that so lowly of me?"Father, Melody was a victim back then. Don't blame her." Malfoy sounded displeased. I could tell that he also didn't like what father said about me. "Father, please. Don't go about saying such things about Melody. She is your daughter, our sister."Malcolm chose to remind our father of our relationship just in case he forgot. Because, I can't believe that a father would think so lowly of their child. Agreed that I was born differently. But should I be treated this way just because I was born without a wolf?"She is no child of mine!" Father retorted. His eyes glowed with rage. "I never gave birth to a disgrace!"No. This is too much. I can't stand this anymore.My head was starting to spin and my foot was aching more than ever. As if the pain in my heart wasn't enough. What did I e
DerekThis isn't right. Why does the Viscount have so many hurtful words to haul at Melody? Those words were too cruel and shouldn't even be used on an enemy. And to think that he was actually talking to his daughter.I have always seen how much the Viscount loved his children. I never knew he harbored so much hatred for Melody.'Well, that makes two of you.' Jay hissed.He has been screaming and struggling to be let out since the beginning of the conversation going on in there. I managed to hold him off somehow. I can't imagine having my wolf attack Viscount Maximus. It will be a war I'm not sure I will win. Besides, what would I say? For what reason did I attack the man?'He insulted our mate!' Jay replied again, making my head ache. I wanted to say that Melody wasn't my mate anymore, but I couldn't because I know she still is. I can feel the bond. However, what baffles me is who did that to her? Who raped her? And why did it have to be on the same night that I had that.....
Derek"Melody, you and I need to talk."Honestly, I had nothing to say to her but to find out what exactly happened to her. Malcolm wouldn't tell me, neither would anyone from the Wayne family. So I thought I could hear it from the horse's mouth. "Your majesty."I didn't realize where I was going until I heard the guards' greetings. Only then did it occur to me that I had brought Melody to the guest chamber. The same place I occupied the night that I....met that woman."Why have you brought me here?" She asked, but I chose not to answer. I do not even know why. I don't know why my legs brought me here when I had Melody in my arms. Was it because I was thinking about that night? Or is it because Melody was slowly taking that woman's place in my heart?"I...Uh..." I tried to think of an answer. A king shouldn't stutter. "This is the place I mostly occupy around here, so, I...." I paused as I noticed how strangely she was staring at the place. So I quickly added, "Besides, this plac
MelodyWhat did Derek mean by what he said? Does he think that everything is a joke? He considers the biggest pain of my life a joke. I wonder how low Derek will stoop to hurt me.He was saved earlier by the messenger who came to inform him that it was time to leave, otherwise I would have given him a taste of my anger. I do not care who he is, no one is allowed to toy with other people's emotions. He's done it before, but I won't let him do that to me now. Not anymore. I am not that naive little girl anymore. Holding the wall for support, I made my way towards the exit. However, I was stopped by the guards. "You can't leave."I raised my head to glare at the guard who was stopping me. "Why not?" I gritted my teeth to keep the pain and anger in me hidden. "I don't know why, Ms. Melody, but it's the king's orders that you do not leave the palace."Who was he to give such an order? I own legs and I can choose where I go. Who gave him the right to order me around?I do not belong
MelodyThe entire time through the meal. I would often notice the queen's gaze travelling from Aaron to Giovanni. Sometimes adoringly and sometimes amazingly. Sometimes inquisitive and sometimes surprised. Her expression switched as she stared at my pups. I don't know why she is staring at them like that, but her constant gazes at them tells me that there is more to this. "I didn't know you had kids, Melody." The queen began as soon as the meal was done. She led us to the game room. After all, we should have fun while we await the news of victory."It was ....""I didn't even know either," Sophia stated. I didn't tell her about Giovanni and Aaron. I was hoping that I wouldn't have to because I didn't know what to say exactly. Am I to tell her that I was raped and banished? Then I had kids for a man I didn't know. I don't even know his name. What am I to say to her?"Actually, I wanted to tell you after your wedding, but there was no way I could." I lied."Oh," Sophia muttered. S
Melody"Don't you dare hurt my momma!" Giovanni attacked Miranda. Probably because he was a kid or probably because he caught her off guard, Miranda staggered and fell on her butt.Giovanni's speed was outstanding. Even though he was just a pup, he gave Miranda a great scratch on her face and she screamed louder than I did. She launched forward to attack Giovanni, but my son dodged her attack skillfully before hitting her one more time. He made sure to scratch her in the same places she hurt me, only that his scratches on Miranda were a lot deeper than the ones she inflicted on me. "And this is for hurting her foot before!" Giovanni ducked and slid on his knees, digging his paws into Miranda's feet. "Ah!" Miranda screamed, bringing everyone to the throne room. "What is happening here?"Queen Rosanne arrived along with Sofia and Aaron and a few others. "It's that boy, he's a demon!" Miranda pointed at Giovanni, whose eyes were still glowing with rage. He was seething so much tha
Derek'Melody was raped.''You got a souvenir from your waywardness.'Those words kept repeating in my head like someone was playing it over and over.Could the souvenirs be young pups, as Jay stated?Did I really get Melody pregnant?How did she end up being the woman brought to me that night?Several thoughts bothered my mind. I had no answer, but one thing was certain. Melody and the woman from that night are one and the same person.I cannot deny it anymore. The similarities were too many. Especially that kiss. I will remember that woman's lips even when I'm dead.I almost confessed to Melody earlier, but I was summoned by my father in the middle of the night. At the Viscount's idea, we decided to move the plan and to launch an unexpected attack on our enemies. So we chose to attack them while they were asleep.Thankfully, I was able to get the thought of Melody out of my mind during the war and we were able to take out most of the rogue army before sunrise.King Worden, Miranda's
