Melody's POV
He arched his brow, and I felt Elaine’s entire body go stiff against my back, “he glared down at me, “the hospital, when you …”
Elaine’s breath fanned my ear, “please apologize to him, get this over with before something bad happens, I have a pup at home Mel.”
My anger flared, holding up my hand to him, “okay sorry, alright, sorry for trying to do my job properly, sorry for having you as a patient, sorry for whatever it is you need me to be sorry for, I’m sorry for all of it, is that better now, feel better about yourself, is your ego healed now.”
Yea, I could have left that ego poke out of it but hey, I’m me, Elaine gasped, and I continued, “excuse me Mr. Dominick,” I pushed up against him as I slid by, “I need a fucking drink after you just made me swallow any pride I had in myself for my career choice in life and your standing in my way.” I pulled Elaine past him with me and headed directly for the bar and Steve. I placed Elaine next to him, grabbed my drink and downed it, “I’m out of here, enjoy your night, this,” I waved my hand around the wall to wall people in the bar, “not happening for me tonight.”
I turned and headed for the door, once outside I took a deep breath, opened my purse and rifled for my keys as I walked towards my car. I heard the running of heels behind me and then a soft voice, “Melody, wait up.”
I spun and smiled as the beautiful woman that was with Alpha Asshat at the ER came running in her heels at me, “Clair, remember?”
I smiled, “yes, hi Clair.”
She stopped in front of me, “please don’t go, my brother is an asshole at time, but he does have a good heart, deep down, I mean really deep down.”
I chuckled, “well I guess that explains why they had the monitors on him now doesn’t it, were they trying to find it?”
She laughed, “good one, I’ll have to remember that the next time they do something stupid like that again, but really don’t leave, he didn’t mean to upset you, he was going to…”
I tilted my head, “going to what, get me kicked out of my apartment next, he already cost me my job, now this night is ruined, or is he planning on running me out of town,” I shrugged, “I’ll be gone on Monday so he won’t have much of a wait, and hell, if tomorrow wasn’t the full moon, I’d leave then, but I’m not chancing being ganged up on by a bunch of out of control rutting werewolves.”
Her eyes went wide, “oh goddess, no, no, no,” she shook her head, “none of that, he didn’t get you fired, at least not that I’m aware of.”
I huffed out a laugh, “guess you’re not in the know, or maybe he just doesn’t think enough of woman to allow them to know much,” I shrug, “doesn’t matter, you better go back inside, I see he’s sending the big guns to get you back,” I mumbled, “pathetic play of power, fucking egotistical asshat.”
I hit my fob and opened my door and slipped into the driver’s seat, the passenger door opened, and Clair slipped in, “I’m going with you, come on let’s kick this towns ass wide open and have fun.”
My eyes went wide, “NO, are you kidding, you’re that Alpha’s sister and now I’ll get blamed if you break a nail, or shoe, “ I shook my head, “OUT, get out of my car, I’m going home, this entire week has sucked my life out of me, I can’t do more but,” I looked at her and she was pouting and I smiled, “fuck it, come on little sister let’s fuck up this town.”
I revved the engine and took off past the huge werewolves that were staring at us and laughed, “later boys,” and she howled. It was a kick ass way to leave a parking lot, and we sped off to another club further into town.
We walked in and I smiled, “this is more like it, just enough beefcake for sampling and enough room to breathe.”
She giggled, “beefcake? Is it tasty?”
I laughed as I hooked my arm to hers, “depends, I always find it tasty.” I ordered me a drink and she ordered hers and a hand slammed on the bar behind me. I spun and glared at the guy, “problem?”
He smiled, “yea, you never called me back.”
I laughed, “well then why are you bothering me now, if I didn’t call, I didn’t want to.”
He looked over at Clair and he nodded, “princess, you should be careful what you associate yourself with,” he looked at me again.
I shook my head, “and you just asked me why I didn’t call you back, fuck off.” I grabbed my drink and handed Clair hers, “too all the losers I’ve allowed to touch me once and for all those still to go,” I downed my drink and turned glaring at him, “I’m not ashamed that I fuck men, or the occasional woman, but to think someone like you can try and run me down, think again, I know it hurts but you’re not worth a second go, you were barely worth the first one.”
Clair chuckled and he went to grab me, and she stood in front of me, moving her head slowly side to side, “she’s protected, and you’ll do good to mind those manners Sebastian, you never know who you could be talking too.”
He growled at me, “You’re lucky she’s with you Sabrina, or this would have went a different way.” I waved my hand at him, turned away, and Clair moved to my side.
“Sabrina?” her eyes narrowed at me.
I giggled and whispered, “yea, I’m known at different bars by different names, keep it interesting and no one knows my real name, so they can never find me, I love the intrigue and mystery of it.”
Clair laughed, “Oh dear goddess, seriously this can’t be happening, this just can’t be, please tell me what did he mean for me to be careful of what I associate with?”
I smiled, “I’m a one and done kind of girl, I’ll only bed a man once, never twice and he certainly isn’t getting my real name.”
Melody POV - 5 years laterSitting in the garden that is flourishing with vegetables as I pick the ripened tomato’s I can’t help but think of Caspian and the times we spent in this garden as he spoke of his life, happiness and the love he shared with Starr. A smile on my face as the memories of him singing and dancing out here all alone as though she was with him. I wish I had gotten to meet her, but I feel as though I knew her, his memories where vivid and she had to have been the sweetest person walking the earth. I remember how envious I was of the love they shared only to find that same love with Dominick. I have to chuckle at my own self, the woman I was then, fighting against it with everything in me. I sat the basket on the table and looked at my beautiful daughter as she slept, sprawled out on the lounge chair, her tiny fists balled up as her dark curls hung over her face.I sit down at her side and sip the lemonade, my life sure has taken a new direction, I never thought
Carla’s POVIt’s been over a month that I’ve been dating Levi, I haven’t told Melody or anyone else, but I know Elaine knows, since Steve works with Levi and guys talk worse than women do. It’s not that I don’t want to tell Melody, I just don’t want anything to ruin this for me, he’s so different than Charles, he’s not pushy, he’s sweet and a gentlemen in every way. Which brings me to a different frame of mind all together, he told me about his fated mate, how she rejected him and moved away without a 2nd thought. I’ve watched Elaine and Steve for years, now Mel and Alpha Dominick and yes, I’m envious and jealous of what they have and to think that someone threw that away, but not only for themselves but for someone as sweet and gentle as Levi is.I can’t deny that he makes my entire body flame to life like an inferno when he kisses me good night, but that’s as far as it has went. I moved back to Caspian’s house, I’m sure we will always call it that, but he still refuses to come in
Levi’s POVOnce Luna Melody was finally cleared of all charges, I thought all my work was done, I hadn’t thought I would be dealing with covering up the rightful killing of Carrie Griffin, this isn’t what an attorney does, but here I am doing it.We started looking into the details of what we could find about Carrie as soon as I was informed of what had happened when again Luna Melody was kidnapped. Nathan Griffin is the Mayor of Rock Ridge and Carries’ so called fated mate, of course that is her word, he’s human and doesn’t know the sighs of the bond. It was the next evening, I was preparing to leave for the hunt, when Steve called, telling me to turn on the news. I turned on the TV and sat back, putting a beer bottle to my lips as the Mayor stood his face full of shock as reporters shouted out questions, “is it true your wife left you because you were being unfaithful to her?” Another reporter shouted, “tell us about the woman you had hidden in your guest cottage?” I almost spi
Alpha Dominick’s POVI shook my head as we left Mystic Coven’s territory holding my Luna’s hand and smiled, “well that went better than expected,” I chuckled as I looked at Beta Collin.He looked at me and scoffed, “I’m glad you think this is funny, it’s going to take me a year to get all this off me, why do witches think it’s funny to do shit like this is beyond me.”Savannah giggled, “I can remove it with a swipe of my hand Beta Collin.” He grumbled at her, “you know when she asked me if I liked caramel or sprinkles, I thought she was talking about ice cream toppings, not what I wanted as my new skin.”Savannah bit her lip and spoke in a whisper, “I’ll remove it all but on your manly spot, that I would love to lick off,” she grinned at him.Melody couldn’t stop the laughter that ripped out of her throat, “oh I love her, she is my kind of girl right there,” she looked at Savannah who was now red as a beet. “Oh Savannah, no don’t be embarrassed, I love that you think that way, so do
Beta Collins’ POVI knew Savannah was my fated mate but trying to convince her that she just couldn’t walk away from me was what I needed to prove to her. I visited her daily, making the time between my duties and making sure that I was doing everything necessary to help in keeping our packs Luna safe. Our first couple of meetings were taking walks in the forest, it was relaxing, and I felt a lot closer to her after it. She told me how she was raised within the coven, her mother Valicity, was to be the high priestess, but she had died as she traveled to help another coven fight against werewolves. She was only a small child when it happened, and barely remembered her mother, but Juniper had taken the high priestess position and raised Savannah as her own. She’s dedicated to her craft and to Juniper, who she believes only has her best interests at heart. I’m not sure about that, since she wants her to just fuck a man to have a child and then walk away from the guy, but I’m a were
Luna Melody’s POV“I’m so sorry, but I told you it would hurt,” I smiled at her as she stuck her tongue out at me.“I thought I was going to die, Mel, but it’s over now, so,” I arched a brow.“Not really Maria, the next few times will hurt as well, but it lessens the more you shift, before long, it won’t hurt at all, so you’ll need to endure the pain until you don’t have any,” I smiled.She scoffed, “oh, I’ll have pain each and every time I shift, trust me, my mate has made if very clear to me, if I feel any discomfort he will take it away from me,” she giggled and her cheeks went to a lovely bright red.I smiled, “so, he’s really big isn’t he,” I wiggled my brows.She gushed, “oh my goddess Melody, big isn’t the word I’d use, monstrous is a good word for it, tremendous even, but he is far from big.”I cackled, “this from someone that has nothing to compare it too?”She blushed, “okay so I’ve seen one or two, but Melody, I thought he was going to rip me in two,” she shook her head.I g
