DWANE’S POVI felt calm. More than I have felt in days. Or probably maybe weeks. I felt all the emotions around us simmer down. Her in my arms right now, felt so right, like she was not meant to leave there at all. These past few days had been really horrible for me. Not been able to talk to her about how she felt. I thought maybe if I had spoken to her, asking her to tell me how she felt, she might have withdrawn entirely from me. The feeling of her withdrawing away from me wasn't one of the best ones I have had. I hated how much I had to deal with that. I thought that throwing this feast for her would have actually rectified it and at least made her happy. She was actually happy, or so I thought, until an annoying creature from my past decided to show up. And knowing Amber for who she was, she might have actually spun up some annoying words to make her angry.I felt the immediate change in her emotions as soon as Amber walked up to her. Aren had never liked her and had always to
MELANIE’S POVI was stressed. Mentally and emotionally, I was exhausted. Not that I will have it any other way. But, who knew training and taking care of a child would be this exhausting. These days or maybe this past few months has been the best of my life. The fear I had when I just gave birth to my baby just blew away as soon as they came. Things worked well for me. Dwane and I talked about a lot of things after that party night that he gifted me a car. He pestered me and me tell him everything that was on my mind. Which I did. He had first laughed which made me angry, but then he later explained to me that he loved me that way. He even said that he like the exta pounds of flesh that I added on. I had not believed him then, but his actions worked it out. He made me feel beautiful in every sense of the word. I didn't feel pressured to wanting to change how I was. Even though I later reduced with some exercises that I strictly kept my self to and a few training sessions with him
DWANE’S POVSomething was wrong. I knew it in my bones that something felt off. Immediately I drove into the eatery, I figured it out. But I didn't just want to follow my gut feeling and I didn't want to ruin the excitement that Mel had.I shook the feeling off so as to enjoy the evening with her.The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was cozy and romantic. We were having a wonderful time until I noticed something strange. There was a waiter who kept giving me odd looks. I couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't right. I tried to put it out of my mind and focus on Melanie, but I couldn't help but feel uneasy.Melanie would not stop talking about the interior of the place and how pretty it looked. We spoke about different things and I tried to make sure she doesn't notice my anxiousness.As we were finishing our meal, I noticed the waiter approaching our table. He was probably coming to drop the check or maybe clear off the table. But, I couldn't shake the feeling that
MELANIE’S POVI opened my eyes slowly. The room was dim and hooded by the window blinds. Prying my eyes open, I looked at the bedside clock and the time said that it was six in the evening.The events of the day came rushing back to me. I sat up immediately looking around for my son or mate. I was about to throw away the bed duvet that covered me when the door opened, allowing light fro the hallway to pull into the room. Squinting at the sudden brightness, I looked up and Lily walked into the room. "You're up." She said, switching on the lights. I closed my eyes so that the sudden brightness will not make me dizzy, opening them slowly. I was about to say something, when she raised her hand up, in sign for me to not fret."They're fine. Talon has slept off on Dwane's chest, who is also sleeping." She said and I calmed down a little. Few hours ago, both if our lives was put in jeopardy, by a random gunman. I was enjoying the time of my life with my mate and something like that happ
MELANIE’S POVI clutched to Dwane on the bed, opening my eyes wide. I was wide awake, not been able to close my eyes even to sleep. There were times that my mind revered back to what happened and I was scared.It's been almost a week now since the insident happened and I haven't completely shook it off. I couldn't. Dwane didn't allow me to go outside any longer. He stayed with us at any chance he could get. The issue about the guy just died down like that. Nothing came up any longer from the police which confirmed our fears that something was wrong. Dwane knew about the creepy eyes that I said I felt following me. He got mad at me for not telling me all those months ago and I tried to defend myself by telling him that it was something I didn't count to be a big deal.I eventually apologized to him and we settled things out. Nothing really strange happened since except the fact that I was overly suspicious of everyone around me. My guard was always up, and I was always jumpy. We tri
DWANE’S POVAt this point I knew I had had to summon Freya to come to the house or maybe to go and see her personally by myself.Things were getting out of hand. At least I knew that by myself. That things were not going as it should, generally.Mel has been having nightmares for a week now after the incident where she had suddenly screamed in the middle of the night. There was nothing I could do about it but accept it. I could not help her in anyway.The feeling that something was wrong or that something would happen anytime soon hung in the air. There was this awkward sensation I felt that someone was watching us. Closely. Mel didn't seem to be herself anymore. I hated how she had turned out. I wanted to at least do something for her.I tried mindlinking her but I thibk she blocked me off. I told Aren to look after Mel and everyone and I went searching for her. She lived in the outskirts of the pack. The last time I was here, I came bearing good news. But now, things seemed to ha
MELANIE’S POVThe tears already dried from my eyes or probably from the source where it came from. I was not expecting something like this happen at all.I thought whatever it was or whoever it was that was doing this was only out for me. I had tried hard to protect my child from the clutches of this power.My own powers even felt useless because I could not use them to protect myself from them or it. Now they've started with my child. I stared into space not been able to focus on anything at all. Maybe the moon goddess should just take the power away and let me know I was an ordinary wolf. What was the point of having them if they could not help me protect my loved ones? I felt a hand on my shoulder and I looked up to see Ana looking at me with a firece look on her face. This was why I liked her, she didn't give me the pity look that a regular normal person would. Even in the situation I find myself in right now. "Don't talk like that, Mel. You'll be fine. There's a reason why t
UNKNOWN’S POVShould I just speed things up and get this over with? Make my child get what he deserves as soon as possible?This endless journeys from the freaking pack to my abode every few days was draining. Not like I was complaining. Really. But I wanted to see them suffer. They should not have it easy. Just like I didn't. Little did they know what enchantments could do. And I was ready for them with everything that I had. I entered into the cottage and the familiar homey scent wafted across my nose. My definition of homey was herbs and different leaves used for concoction and spells.To an ordinary person, it might smell disgusting. But to me, it was home. The perfect place to be. Call me crazy though, I'll gladly enjoy it. My son was sorted on the same chair, staring at the same thing. He always had a way of pissing me off. He was too daft and annoying to see the bigger picture. For an eight year old boy, he could do better. I was sure younger than him when I started castin
