MelissaI shuddered at his words and the meaning behind them, just realizing for the first time that he had indeed lost his mind. He really wanted to make love to me? I wondered, thankful that I didn’t say the words out loud. Zachary wanted me to have sex with him, despite the turmoil going on in the pack and the many atrocities that he had committed. He wanted me to give myself to him and forget the fact that he had killed so many people in the pack and was still holding my stepbrother and sister hostage. Was he crazy?Don’t you want me to make love to you? his voice came crashing through my mind, forcing me to blink away my thoughts and focus my attention back on him. there was something in his eyes as I looked into them, something that told me I wouldn’t like his next action if I were to say no to him. with a little hesitation, I linked my arm around his nek, and pressed my lips against his.The kiss was slow, and very calculating, as if he was trying to make sure we were on the sa
MelissaLike a ghost, I walked weakly into the house, surprised that my legs could carry me despite how weak they were. I wanted to scream at the moongoddess, wanted to bawl my eyes out, but the more I thought about killing one of my mates with my own hands, the weaker I felt to even do any of those things.The maids watched me with intrigue as I walked, but I ignored them as if they were not even present. While taking the stairs one at a time, Jackie rushed to meet me and with her right hand, turned me to face her. I forced myself to focus on her face, seeing that she had on an expression of worry and concern, so in order to ease it, I offered her a genuine smile.“What did she want?” Jackie asked, her eyes scanning the entire house to make sure Zachary wasn’t anywhere close. I took her hand off my arms and shrugged my shoulders in response to her question.“Tell me, Melissa.”“She just wanted to confirm something from me. it is not a big deal.”“I heard her say something about you h
MelissaAfter twenty minutes of crying and holding Zachary in my arms, I finally found the courage to crawl to my father’s table and press the button underneath it for the servants. Zachary still laid on the floor in his pool of blood and as for his heart, I kept holding it in my hands because it reminded me of the fact that I was the one who killed him. It didn’t take up to twenty minutes for Jackie and one of the servants to appear in the room and they both froze at the sight in front of them. “Melissa?” Jackie called softly as she came forward to kneel beside me, ignoring the blood and Zachary’s body. “What happened here?”“I did what I had to.” I responded, allowing my gaze to settle on Zachary again. This time around, I felt no more pain because I had stayed long enough with him in that state.“Is this why the sorceress came today?” Jackie asked. “She wanted you to kill him?”I nodded my head in response, before looking up to the other servant who was still shaken up by the whol
MelissaIt was Alan’s coronation ceremony, and we were all gathered in the shifting square to witness the occasion. I stood sandwiched between Freya and Chloe, who looked at the podium Alan stood with love in their eyes. It was difficult for me to concentrate on the event though, because I kept thinking of Zachary even though it had been two weeks since his death, but I stood there, looking on like everyone else.The sorceress performed her incantations on Alan and after putting on the alpha robe on his body, she invited the spirit of all alphas before him to dwell on him. At that moment, he shifted into his wolf form, to show that the process was now complete, and everyone bowed their heads in respect to him. Alan’s wolf howled into the sky, his sound the only thing being heard in the shifting square, and I closed my eyes, already feeling the impact of his strength around me. When he was done, he shifted back into his human form and the warriors gathered around him to cover his naked
Melissa.He dipped his fingers into my lush hair as his lips caressed my ears lobes. I felt his soft hands massaging my scalp, doing sweet delicious things to my body. His hands moved from my hair to cup my neck and he rubbed it sensually, his thumb massaging the hollow in my throat.“Kiss my lips, Alex.” I said to him in the most sensual voice I could come up with and he smiled sweetly at me, his brown eyes piercing mine with desire filled in them.He leaned in slowly, placing his lips softly against mine in a tease. I love it when he teases me like this, because it always made me mad with raw need. Unable to take the tension any longer, I placed my hand on his and lowered it to my breast so that he would feel its weight. As he was about to caress my nipples, someone snapped their fingers at me, distracting my thoughts and bringing me back to my senses.My eyes cleared up immediately and I blinked at my friend, Mia, as she stared directly at me.“Were you day-dreaming again?” She aske
Melissa“What!” I exclaimed, unable to believe my ears after hearing the news my father just broke to me. “What do you mean you will be getting married to the Luna of Moonriver pack?”“It is my duty as the alpha, Melissa.” He answered, turning to walk round his large office. I watched him go over to the cabinet and waited whike he poured for himself a glass of strong scotch, one of those hard drinks that he had warned me to stay away from.“Your duty as the alpha should not include a second marriage.” I protested, walking forward to meet him as he lifted the short round glass to his mouth. “Was it the elders who suggested such a ridiculous thing to you?”“The words of the elders are not ridiculous, Melissa.” He snapped sternly at me and I winced at his words. “I made the decision as the alpha after weighing the pros and cons.”“What pros and cons?” I demanded angrily, pouring out my anger on him. “What could you possibly achieve from marrying another she-wolf after your late wife?”He
MelissaI was moody throughout the party as I watched my father connect with the Luna, whose name I learnt afterwards to be Ciara. Ciara, the name that was befitted a princess and from her looks and aura, she did look like one.I watched with the other guests in the hall as the demolition of the walls separating Redmoon and Moonriver was shown in the television, was forced to smile when they all clapped their hands with joy, whispering among themselves about how good the merge was. I watched Ciara and her daughter as they got acquainted with the pack members and also had to smile politely at them when they tried talking to me. I watched and observed it all, until I could not contain it any longer.To be sure my father no longer needed me, I took an excuse from him and sneaked into the dark garden, glad to finally have a moment of peace to myself.Alone, I thought of my mother and how she would feel, knowing fully well that someone was taking her place in my father’s life. I thought ab
Melissa.Alan was standing before me.Alan, who I met last night and who had stirred different things inside me that I didn’t know existed. Alan, whose single touch had sent shivers down my body. Alan, who I couldn’t stop thinking and dreaming about last night was here and he looked perfect in his blue robe as he watched me.And he is my stepbrother? I asked myself, almost screaming loudly inside my head. Of all people that could be my stepbrother, why him?“What are you doing here?” I blurted out immediately when I couldn’t contain my shock any longer. When he lifted an eyebrow and made to come forward, I shook my head, hating myself for sounding stupid.“What?” He asked, a smile creeping up on the side of his lips. “What did you say?”“I asked why you are here.” I repeated, trying my best not to look at his beautiful face, even though that was the only thing I had thought about throughout the night.“Apparently, I am going to be living here.” He replied, amusement in his voice.“Why
