Melody"How do I look?" Sofia asked for the hundredth time that day. "You look ravishing," I replied honestly. She was indeed looking gorgeous. "Malcolm will fall heads over hills for you.""Are you sure?" She asked, making me laugh."Of course, even a blind man can see how much he loves you." "He loves me?" Sofia was out of her chair and beside me in a jiffy. "Did he tell you that?"I understand why she was anxious about this. It's good to find your mate, but it's best if your mate loves you, and who better than me understands this fact?"No, he didn't tell me...." Sofia pouted and sat down. I squatted in front of her to complete the rest of my words. "...But I can see it in his eyes."I know my brother so well and I can tell that he loves Sofia. Judging from how he looks at her as if she was his world and the way he puts her interest first before his. It was all too clear, but my silly princess still doesn't see that. "Trust me Sofia, Malcolm loves you." I assured her, as I fixe
Melody"Never mess with my fiance!" I rubbed my injured foot and watched as she dumped the basket on me before storming off. Mess with her fiance? When did I do that? Wasn't it the other way round? I wonder if I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. That's probably why everyone keeps blaming me even though I have done nothing. I decided to stay quiet since it was Sofia's wedding. I wouldn't want to ruin it. Besides, father's keen eyes had been on me the entire time, sending warnings. He still hasn't changed. Always thinks the worst of me. I shook my head and followed Sofia as the couple were made to stand under the moonlight to take their second vows with the moon goddess as witness. My foot hurt badly, yet I managed to keep the pain in. I promised to be there with Sofia the entire time today and I will uphold that promise. She moved the wedding up just to have me attend. I won't disappoint her. After taking their vows, they sat down to receive their gifts and I got the c
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
