Return and Royal: A Beginning and an End

Princess and Panic

Melody’s POV Teddy, be safe.’ I linked Teddy, the baby having woken me to eat. The baby was bustled against me now, her soft mews making me smile. All the sudden, I saw a nurse run past and to the front of the building, the sound of something breaking and a scream following. “What in the world?” Maybe a resident is having a bad day. They did have some senile wolves here, so it made sense. Then two more nurses ran by, a guard following them as a shot rang out as well. “Fuckin-?!” “Melody!” Jude burst into the door with the doctor right behind her, both of them shooting glances down the hall. “We need to get you somewhere safe!” She ran to the bed and started to unhook it, pushing it slightly to the door. “Fuck! They made it past! We haven’t the time to get her to the safe room. My Queen, we’ll have to hold them off while you stay in the restroom. Jude, get her in there now!” The doctor pulled the door closed and pulled the blinds down as he flipped off the lights. “S

Queen and Questions

Teddy’s POV ‘Melody! Melody!’ I couldn’t get through to her through the link, making my insides knot in worry as I fought my way to the hospital. The rogues were starting to thin out now, someone having torn through ahead of me and leaving behind a trail of viscera. ‘My King; Melody’s in a critical state right now, the Doctor is rushing her to operation.’ Jude linked, the worry in her voice making burst on more speed. ‘What happened?! Did the rogue’s get her?!’ I ripped the throat out of the last one, shifting into my human side just as I reached the hospital door. Thank Goddess my father had a safe room in the house. My mother had gotten all the women and children in there as soon as Axel raised the Alarm, and I could hear her through the family link calming all the children and mothers. ‘Hemorrhaging, sir. She was moved too soon after giving birth. Working on her now; but I’m closing the link to focus.’ I was glad we had brought along

Infante and Infetile

Melody’s POV “Hmmm?” I scrunched my eyes together while they were closed, a massive headache thrumming through my head making me feel nauseous. “Thank Goddess…. Melody?” “Mmm?” Teddy. I could feel that it was him with the way he grabbed my hand. His rough stubble from a few days without shaving brushed against the back of it feeling like sandpaper. “Love?” I squinted open my eyes together while the brightly lit room and saw a plethora of worried faces. “What happened?” One moment I was holding the baby in the bathroom, the next was all a blur for me then as my memory felt fuzzy. “Can we have some privacy?” Teddy turned to Jude, Axel, Ted Two, and the doctor; all of them getting up to leave. Jude shot me an apologetic look, one that spelled bad news. My heart rate spiked as I looked around the small hospital room, only settling when I saw Lucy sleeping peacefully in the bassinet. Goddess, for a second there… I didn’t want to think about that though, the mere idea that my ba

Annuity and Answeres

Teddy’s POV Melody’s took our delicate little bundle into her arms, her chest still shaking slightly as she nuzzled the baby close to her chest to eat. “There, there… mommy’s here. It’s gonna be okay.” Her voice was breaking slightly as she spoke to her, tears still falling as she caressed the baby’s soft locks of black hair. “Two’s okay, right?” She wouldn’t look at me when saying it, talking more to the baby than anything. “You’ll just have to get into twice as much trouble as your brother.” “I-I need to go talk to Axel and make arrangements for things.” The room was feeling too stuffy, the air stagnant to me. They had been through and melted bodies and disinfected everything while Melody was out, leaving the halls smelling like bleach and copper. “Teddy..” Melody’s voice stopped me in the door, my shoulders tensing as I felt the walls creeping in closer. “Nothing is your fault. We couldn’t have predicted any of this happening. We-we just need to figure out why this is happeni

Politics and Policies

Teddy’s POV ‘I don’t think we’ve come close enough to allowing that to happen.’ I growled, still not comfortable with my old man. He still had a long way to go before I’d ever consider the idea. ‘It’s just a thought he’s been shooting at me: giving you a heads up and all.’ Thomas’s wolf form shrugged, yawning as he looked over to Rose and the puppy. ‘Now, we got sidetracked. What did you want to discuss?’ ‘I need help figuring out what to do about the Rogue’s; legally speaking that is.’ There were laws in place protecting them as a sort of sovereign people. They did not adhere to pack laws, but they could not insert themselves into our affairs either. Chip had been one before joining Melody’s pack with Heather, the life he lived constantly in danger of packs harassing him or threats for him to move on. ‘Legally speaking; you could have them register their presence, make it sort of like a database to protect them. Give them cards and everything that can be traced where they mov

Royal Line and Resting

Melody’s POV “I was wondering… What do you think of the idea of having a census amongst the rogues and the pack?” Teddy leaned against the bed and rested his head atop my hand, his soft curls brushing against my skin. “I think that is a good idea.” I said after a moment, still gathering my thoughts from my short nap. I had a disturbing dream that had awakened me, the feeling of fire and the sound of screaming still vivid in my mind. Nix’s glade had been on fire, smoke billowing in the air as wolves ran this way and that. I could still smell the scorched earth as Nix shouted something at me, her voice drowned out by the baying of dying wolves. “… I think Nix did try to send me a message just now, but I’m not too sure.” I gripped the necklace in my hand more tightly, the warm stone thrumming against my fingers. “Everything was on fire, and she was in distress… and to be honest, I think it has to do with the Rogue’s. The sooner we can at least tamper them down, the safer we can be.”

Confirmed and Crisis

Teddy’s POV Melody fell into a fitful sleep in front of me, her soft snores interrupted by hiccups and tears throughout the night. ‘Jude, if you’re still here in the hospital; add Melody to a postpartum watch. I… I think her ptsd is back and I don’t want her being alone.’ ‘Fuck… yah, I’m still here. I’ll add a note to her file and let the doctor know too. Axel’s on his way with the girls before I leave for the night.’ ‘Thank you.’ Jude had quickly become a good friend to Melody and I after her and Axel started dating, almost like part of the family. It was good to see how much she also kept the Viking in line, giving him the dose of chaos mixed with discipline he needed. Once I was sure Melody was sound asleep I sighed and pulled out my phone, turning slightly on the bed so I didn’t disturb her, but was still touching her. “Walter, I would like you and Alvin to get in place a census for all wolves in North America. Whether they are Rogue, Lone, or Pack. We’ll be implementing

Duties and Dalliances

Jude’s POV “And I should know, raising four hellions is shit on your own.” I softly laughed as I shook my head. “You have an amazing partner to help you as well, ya know? You’re not alone, and you’re doing great. Just trust that someone would speak up if you weren’t. And if someone does, come get me so I can kick their ass.” Melody smiled a little at me, but her eyes still seemed hollow. Fuck; Teddy’s right. This wasn’t Melody’s normal self, her outgoing and strong nature changed since the attack. We’re all gonna be on our toes for a while, I shook my head as we just sat there in silence for a bit as the baby nursed. “Here, Mel… let me clean her up, and you go get some more sleep with Teddy.” “I can do it, just let me get up and-“ I put my hand on Melody’s shoulder to stop her, giving her a soft smile. “Melody, rest. You’re going to need to be strong to even begin to get better. I promise I’ll check on you and the baby throughout my shift; scout’s honor.” I was finally able to

Procession and Passion

Axel’s POV “Shhh, you’ll wake mommy.” I held my finger up to my lips as the girls giggled around us. “She had a rough day, so let’s be good and let her rest.” “Aww… but I wanted to show her my drawing.” Grace pouted, her lower lip sticking out. “Hmmm.. Tell ya what? How about you all draw Aunt Mel a get well card? Then mommy can bring them to her when she works tomorrow.” “Will we get to see the baby?!” Addison gushed, her sisters nodding in agreement. The baby had been all they wanted to talk about lately, their excitement for another little one to spoil just like Felix a tangible thing. “Maybe later. Right now though, they need to rest and recover like the doctor’s told them to.” After I said that, my girls went right to work on writing their cards; their diligent little faces scrunching up in concentration. I sneaked back into the seat as Jude began to lean on me, her soft breathing telling me she was out. Absentmindedly, I patted the pocket of my pants to make sure the
