Melody returned from her father's kingdom, her mind buzzing with schemes and strategies. She was determined to bring Avery down and secure her own position as queen.As she settled back into the castle, she got news that Avery's father, the alpha, was growing weaker by the day with his curse worsening. At that moment, he couldn't move or talk a lot or he would start coughing for a long time and he was feeling too weak to move his arms, he had to be taken care of like an invalid.Melody saw an opportunity and pounced. She began to make life even more difficult for Avery, taunting her and making snide comments about her father's condition. Dean, still under Melody's spell, joined in, making Avery's life a living hell.Avery tried to focus on her father's care, but it was hard to do with Melody and Dean constantly undermining her. She began to doubt herself, wondering if she was truly cut out for this role.As the days passed, Avery's father grew weaker and weaker. Melody and Dean conti
“What gift did our goddess give you though”? Magnus asked curiously.“Shouldn't you be interested in knowing what I had to do to get this power and everything related to it”? Melody asked.“Of course I am interested in all that but I can only say one thing at a time”. Magnus responded with a shrug. “But go ahead and tell me everything”. He said.“Well,” Melody began. “You're aware that the cult leader has always been of the opinion that I was important to the sect right”? She asked.“Of course I am”. Magnus replied with a frown. “He has been very vocal about it even when he became borderline creepy as a result”. He said.“Yeah, you didn't seem to pleased with his fascination with me”. Melody said with a smile on her lips.“Why won't I”? Magnus asked, visibly agitated. “He was a creep who was always buzzing around you while trying to convince you to do something I couldn't even begin to understand”.“I did do what he wanted me to do and that's how I was able to get that power from our
Melody nodded, a small smile playing on her lips. "Let's go, Father. I'm ready to face that creepy old artifact." She said. “Heavens know exactly what he wants”.As they left the room, the shadows seemed to shift behind with them, as if they were being watched by unseen eyes. The air was thick with tension, and Melody could feel the weight of her father's gaze on her.Walking out of the castle, that entered their vehicle and drove off to see him in a secluded cave in the mountains.Arriving at the mouth of the cave, they walked in, passing through the entrance with Melody having an annoyed expression on her face.“Can't this guy just leave me alone”? She thought to herself.At that moment, they arrived at the end of the path, opposite them and Melody knocked on the cave wall with her knocks following a specific pattern.Then the wall opened like a door after which Melody and her father stepped into the room behind it.As they arrived at the cult leader's chambers, Melody could feel a
Melody woke up today feeling happy. Today was the day she started the plan the goddess wanted her to carry out. Knowing fully well that she had to put on her best clothes, she wore the fitting jumper suit her mother got for her with a smile on her face.“This will do just nicely”. She said happily.“Where are we going, your majesty”? A voice asked behind her, causing her to jump in fright.Turning around, she saw her maid standing behind her, fidgeting.“I almost forgot you were with me”. Melody said in annoyance. “What does where we are going have anything to do with you”? She asked.“I…asked because I wanted to be able to serve you better”. The maid replied.Melody hearing that shook her head before turning to her mirror. “Still annoying as usual”. She said.At that moment, her door opened with her father, Magnus walking into her room.“Hey dad”! Melody exclaimed as she turned towards him in annoyance. “cant you knock”? She asked.“I am the alpha so why should I”? He asked with a sh
Melody, left with the desire to prove her worth, she set out to feed and care for the starving community, working tirelessly, distributing food and supplies, and even helped with medical care for the sick and injured. The people did not trust her at first but with time, grew to trust and appreciate her efforts. As the days passed, Melody gained the community's trust and admiration. Then, a day came and she announced that she would host a grand party to celebrate their newfound hope and unity. The people were overjoyed, and eagerly accepted the invitation.Unknown to them, Melody had an evil plan given to her by the cult leader. She had been instructed by the goddess to kill all of them with the condition that she had made them trust her and collect the community's hatred and suffering in a special container. Melody poisoned the food and drinks, ensuring that every single person would suffer a painful and agonizing death.As the party began, the people ate and drank, unaware of the h
Avery’s POV"I'll be down soon; I'm done dressing," I said, and the call ended.I added a last layer of lipstick as I was going for a very mild look. I didn’t want to be so flashy, and yet I didn’t want to look too relaxed about the outing.I checked myself in the mirror one last time to be sure my look was to my satisfaction. I pondered if I was dressing too much for the occasion, but I wanted Damon's eyes on me all of the time.I thought of declining his invitation because I was not in the mood to go out, but I didn't want to turn him down. He was the only thing I was looking forward to these days, as everyone here was making my life miserable.Magaret knew how rude Isabella had been to me of late, and she didn't do anything to shun her. I knew if Dad were still home, he would have found something to do about the situation, but he was struck down with a strong illness as I struggled to raise his money for his medical bills.It seemed this situation was to the benefit of the two, as
Avery’s POVI was inside my room when Magaret walked in and she started giving an ultimatum to me,I stared keenly at her, wondering if she knew what she was talking about at all.“You need to get married to that Alpha, or you’ll find a way to fork out the money we need for the surgery; the choice is all yours.”I smiled fondly after hearing what my stepmother just said.“So you’re forcing me to get married to someone else when you know I have someone I love already? And yet you can’t push your daughter to do the same; after all, it’s the same father we are trying to save here. So you think I’ll do this so you can get the money?” “Well, I would leave you to your dreams if you think that’s ever going to happen.”“So it seems you don’t want this to be done as easily as it can be.” Magaret raised her voice, staring keenly at me with so much hatred evident in her voice.“Then I’ll just end the treatment, as we do not have enough money to continue it. I want you to know this is all your fa
Avery’s POV"Please,” I moaned gently, rubbing my hands tightly on his back.“Are you sure you want to go through with this? You don’t even know me, and I don’t want to hurt you.” He whispered into my ears, which only made my nipples harder than they already were.“I want you; why are you wasting so much time?" I murmured and moaned deeply. He got off me and stood by the corner of the room, staring intently at my body, like he was evaluating it. I stood up and walked towards him, staring at his face with so much lust in my eyes.“You want this, don’t you?”“Yes..” He said this while placing his hands on my neck, caressing it back and forth.“Strip.” He muttered out of nowhere.“What?” I inquired in shock. “You heard me well, didn’t you? I said, "Strip." He said, raising his tone as my heart raced at the thought of someone seeing me in such a state. Without any more hesitation, I unbuttoned my shirt, taking my time one button after the other, then I pulled off my skirt and then my bra
