MelodyHow dare he! How could he do that to me? Who does he think he is? Just because he is king, he thinks he can do anything he wants?First he rejected me and treated me like I was nothing tangible, then he taunted me for not accepting his rejection and when I was about to accept the rejection, he kissed me.I placed my hand on my lips where he kissed me and all I could feel was anger. If I was that young Melody who ran after Derek all her life, then I will probably be jumping with joy. But I am not that naive girl anymore. I am Melody and I'm the mother of two strong young wolves and I am the would-be Luna of the Dark Flame Pack. I refuse to be treated that way. I wish I could slap him some sense, but I couldn't do that just because he is the king. He is the Alpha king and should be respected. However, I can't promise not to slap him the next time he does that to me. Angrily, I marched towards my chambers where I met Sofia waiting outside. "Melody, here, check this out." She
DerekI didn't know how to stop Melody from saying those words. I couldn't let her sever the bond just like that.I mean, I have to find out what is going on with me first. Melody was in a hurry to end it all. Years ago, no matter how many times I shout at her, she wouldn't leave. No matter how many times I push her away, she stuck around, but now, she wants to sever our bond just like that?Did that Alpha bewitch her? Or is she really his mate?That is impossible and I know it. The possibility of a wolf having two mates is slim, very slim. And a wolf can't get a second chance mate when their bond with their previous mate is still intact, so what is going on? Why has Melody let go of her feelings for me?"I Melody Wayne accept your....."No way! I was snapped out of my confused thoughts at her words. She really wanted to accept it, but I wouldn't let that happen. My mind was confused, I didn't know what to do to stop her from saying those words, so I did the only thing that came to
Derek"What has happened?" I asked as soon as we sat in the carriage. "Your majesty, some rouges have been found in our territories. They've attacked some villages in the north.""What? How did that happen? We had strong men stationed at the borders, right?" I demanded."Yes, your majesty, we did," he replied, seemingly angry too. "I do not know how they've managed to cross and that is why we must act fast. If they attack us from the south and conquer, we'll be rendered weak."Rendered weak? No way! This is my kingdom and it will never be rendered weak. "What do you propose?" Maximus took out a map immediately. He sat on the floor of the carriage while I watched what he was doing. I only asked for his opinion. I wonder why he has a map."The best thing to do now is to deploy more soldiers to the north to subdue the enemy while we send reinforcements to the south, in case they target our other weak point. Then we'll send our able wolves to hold the east and west to prevent any attac
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.....
