"You are the child sent to Mallory. You are Maximus' illegitimate child."

No!

I am my mother's daughter.

My mother's name is Stella, not some imposter!

I shook my head in denial and stared at Dorian as tears ran down my cheek.

This is a dream. All of this is a bad dream.

I want to wake up. I want to wake up from this terrible nightmare.

Please, goddess.

I want to wake up from this dream!

"So... You knew who I was when... when I first came here?"

As much as I dread the answer to that question I knew I had to ask.

"Yes."

Dorian's reply struck a painful chord in my heart and my heart sank.

He knew me.

He knew who I was and that was why he took me in.

Would he have helped me if he didn't know who I was?

"Melody, I ..."

"No. Don't say anything," I shook my head and waved my finger. "Just answer my questions."

I have to know how much I have been fooled.

"You took me in to relieve your father's debt. To correct your uncle's mistakes. Is that it?"

Say no.

Please say no.

"Yes."

  • Pregnant And Rejected: His Wolfless Mate   Curse To The World

    DerekListening to all Dorian had to say made me feel extremely guilty. I mean, I was savage and uncaring towards him when he was in Mallory but the man was kind enough to offer me a room in his pack-house.Even though I knew that he could have done better. It doesn't matter because he is a better man than I am. I went to the room given to me and I couldn't be more appreciative. It was big and comfy. Dorian was even cool enough to allocate some maids and guards for my personal use. He didn't get that luxury when he came to Mallory. I was ushered to the dinner table where I had dinner with only Malcolm. He seemed surprised just as I was to see the table empty with only the two of us there. I asked the maids and their response stunned me. I was told that Dorian was having his meal in his room with Melody and the kids were eating in their rooms too. I wonder why he chose to do that when arrangements had been made that we would all have dinner together.After dinner, I returned to my

    Derek"You and your father are a curse to the world and everyone around you!" What nonsense! How dare he bring my father into this? It's his fault that Melody is sad. It's his fault that she is hurt. It's his fault that Melody is hurt and he blames me. I wasn't even there neither was my father so how is this my family's fault?"You bunch of selfish low lives. You ruined us all!"Dorian's paws scratched my arm before I realised what was happening. My eyes turned dark but I still tried to stay calm. I wanted to act reasonably and not on impulse. I was pissed that's for sure but for Melody, I was trying to be the better man. "Calm down and tell me what really happened."I tried to sound calm and nice but I don't know how it sounded to Dorian because instead of being calm he was the opposite. He attempted to scratch my face but I ducked. However, my chin couldn't escape. "Shit. Dorian will you just calm down!" I yelled as I pushed him backwards so that he wouldn't be able to attack

    Derek "She found out about her identity."What shit is he ranting?Who doesn't know Melody's identity? We all know her identity and so does she. So, why would she run off despondently just because of her identity?"Her identity?" Malcolm frowned. "What are you talking about?""Let's go back to my study and talk about this." Dorian offered. Malcolm fixed his eyes on the forest and didn't want to leave. "Don't worry, Malcolm, Melody can take care of herself." He sounds like he knew all about Melody. Well, in a way he does. But does he have to rub it on our faces?"Really?" Malcom's tone was full of sarcasm."She'll come back. She's just angry and confused." Dorian added.Confused?Why would Melody be confused? I understand if she's angry. It's normal to be angry after an argument but confused. I haven't heard of that. "Confused about what?" Malcolm asked as we arrived at Dorian's study. "What has made Melody so confused that she ran straight to the forest?""Actually, Malcolm ther

    MelodyI ran through the forest for goddess knows how long. I kept running until Joanne's legs couldn't move anymore. I looked down to see that she was bleeding. The figs and thorns in the forest have pierced through her paws.I shifted back to human and checked my feet. The cut was quite deep. I ignored the pain In my feet as it was nothing compared to the one in my heart. I found an oak tree at the thickest part of the forest and I limped towards it. The tree was surrounded by some other trees, thus making a shed. I sat under it and hugged my knees as it all came pouring down on me, all of Dorian's words. It hurts so much. It felt like someone was ripping my heart with a knife.I tried to stop them from screaming repeatedly in my ears but they kept coming back ringing in my ears, each time louder than the first."I knew you before you came to Dark Flame.""I didn't at first, but...."Lies! It's all a lie! Everything I believed was all a lie! I thought I was my parents' daught

    DorianAs I told the entire story to Malcolm and Derek. My chest became very light. It felt as if a heavy load was lifted off my chest. My whole body became light. However, I didn't get the expected reaction from Malcolm. He knew the whole story. He knew the truth all along yet he loved Melody so much. This realization made me respect Malcolm more than I already do. Derek on the other hand was dumbfounded as he should be. Because every one of us wouldn't be in this situation if his father hadn't started the enmity. His father was a sore loser who couldn't accept that a woman refused him despite his status. And now, Derek is following that same step. Arrogant fool. His face irks me so much that I feel like tearing the skin on his face off and feeding it to him. Even though a part of me kind of feels sorry for him though. This wasn't his fault in a way.He was raised to always get what he wants just as his father was raised. But if he thinks he can get my woman then he must be j

    Melody"Momma!" Giovanni ran straight to hug me as I stepped in. "Sweetheart," I hugged my son and brushed my fingers through his locks."Where were you, Momma?" He queried. He looked sad as he asked me where I had gone to. I have never seen emotion of any kind on Giovanni's face but right now, despondency was visible on his face. "I went for a run," I replied truthfully. I have never lied to my kids and I do not intend to start now."A run? In the forest?" He asked again.I know that Giovanni is a smart kid and whatever I'd say to him must be well thought about. Especially since I didn't want to lie to him. "Yes son. I needed to clear my head.""Oh," He replied and his furrowed brow was released. "So, do you have a clear head now?"Give it to Giovanni to never relent until he's gotten the answer to his questions. "Yes, dear. My mind is all sorted now." I replied. "I'm glad you're okay, Momma," he hugged me. Guess I frightened him, but how did he get to know that I was gone?

    Melody"I agree."Silence ensued as soon as I said that. They all stared at me like I was some strange creature. Derek looked like he just heard the best news of his life.Well, it is. Dorian on the other hand looked like he was seeing a ghost. His eyes were wide open as he stared at me. "Mel, you......"I knew what he wanted to ask so I nodded. "Yes."Dorian's eyes widened and he blinked. "This is Derek," he reminded me.Of course, I knew that he was Derek. Who better than me can know this? Why would I fail to recognise the first man I fell in love with as a child? How could I forget the face I stayed up all night trying to paint? For years I spent my time doing nothing but trying to please Derek, so how could I just forget? Why would I forget the face of the man who broke me? How can I forget the man who took my innocence? How could I forget the man who broke me? How could I forget the face of the man who was the reason why my life was ruined? How could I forget the face of the m

    Melody"Because Derek is my second chance mate." Now, that's amazing. I mean, is she for real? Did Estrella just say that Derek is her mate? Is that even possible? I know that I sound silly right now, but I couldn't help feeling that way. It seems surreal. How can Derek be Estrella's second chance Mate? They've only just met. How could they be mated? Besides, if Derek is her mate why didn't he say anything? Why did he look surprised when she said that? I didn't know what to say. Everyone was surprised. No one spoke and all eyes fell on Derek. He was equally surprised. He looked like he was hearing this for the first time. Is he probably not aware of this? Now, I'm confused. I didn't know what to believe anymore. I stood and watched the scene unfold. Giovanni who was about to ask a question earlier stopped, he couldn't ask any more questions. His mouth hung open as he stared from Estrella to Derek.His little brain probably couldn't understand all that was happening. "Derek

  • Pregnant And Rejected: His Wolfless Mate   Epilogue

    MelodySeveral months went by and it was the twins' birthday. They were turning eight. Derek wanted to throw them a royal party since it was their first birthday in Mallory. He wanted to introduce them to the people as the crown Prince. Dorian and I arrived two months earlier for the preparations. The kids would often spend some time with us in Dark Flame Pack before returning to Mallory.This time we decided to stay with them till their birthday is due, and the date is two days away. Everyone was happy to be a part of the kids' big day.I wasn't of much help as I sat on a throne-like chair. I watched everyone prepare for the D-day. "Are you okay?" Dorian asked for the hundredth time that day. He's been asking the same question with a five-minute interval since the break of dawn. He placed his hand on my big belly and made an invisible circle as he spoke. "I'm fine," I replied with a smile."Are you sure?" He looked into my eyes for any sign of discomfort. "I'm fine, Dorian," I s

  • Pregnant And Rejected: His Wolfless Mate   Finale

    Melody"Aren't you so beautiful?" I was sitting in front of the mirror in my special chamber in the palace. I checked myself out and couldn't help but admire the reflection before me. The chamber was allocated to me by Derek for days when I chose to visit the pups in the Palace. The room was heavily decorated with gold and other rare and expensive stones. "Miss Melody, you're beautiful," Alice muttered with a proud smile on her face. "Thank you," I smiled, trying as much as I could to avoid staring continuously at the reflection in the mirror. I was afraid that my world would turn upside down if I basked too much in the joy of the moment. Ever since our return to Mallory, everything has been different and surreal. I find it hard to believe that I was finally living the life that I wanted. A sweet and love-filled life with my family.Derek kept his word and has been good to Estrella. They look like they've known each other for a long time."I've never seen a bride as beautiful

  • Pregnant And Rejected: His Wolfless Mate   Best Feeling

    Derek As I watched the siblings reconcile, I couldn't help but fear my loss. I witnessed Dorian rejecting Estrella and she accepted the rejection. Which means that I remain the only obstacle in the story of Melody and Dorian's love. However, one question stands. Am I willing to let go of the woman I love? Sacrifices are made in love, but leaving Melody is a sacrifice I'm unwilling to make. I searched for her for a long time, hoping to find the woman of my dreams. Never could I have imagined that she wouldn't belong to me when I finally found her. The moon goddess gave her to me but I threw her away with my hands and now that she belongs to someone else, I just can't let go. What will become of me if she leaves? If only Melody would give me a chance, then I would prove to her how sorry I am for all the things I said and did to her. I know that I have hurt her so much in the past and she probably won't forgive me, but I wish she would give me a chance to show her how sorry I am

  • Pregnant And Rejected: His Wolfless Mate   Reunion Or Revenge

    Dorian"I thought so too after Malia's death but Melody's arrival changed that." Estrella stared at me as I spoke. She was hurt by my words but I couldn't help saying that. Melody's arrival changed so many things in me. I thought I was lost, that I was locked in a barrel of darkness and pain. After Malia's death, I thought that life wasn't worth living, but Melody's arrival changed everything. At first, it started as my way of redeeming my family's deeds and as my way of avenging my parents' suffering, but as time went by, I became attached to her simplicity. I became attached to her and slowly fell in love with her. I even received the goddess' blessing and she became my second-chance mate. I was overjoyed. I wanted nothing more. Even though I was madly in love with her, Melody couldn't forget her first love. The man who broke her. The mate who rejected her. She kept stalling my proposal for years before she finally accepted it. I thought she would leave me to be with Derek w

  • Pregnant And Rejected: His Wolfless Mate   Selfish Love

    Derek"Give Dorian to me and I'll accept you as my sister."Estrella isn't entirely wrong. She is right in a way. If you're in love with someone, you want them by all means. No boundary is visible nor is it recognised. Love is selfish. I love Melody and I want her only for myself. I don't care who she chooses for herself nor do I care who the goddess has paired her with. I also do not care who the goddess has brought for me as a second chance mate. All I want is Melody and I don't care if the skies have to fall down just to help me get her, I just want her and my kids and I will not be at rest until it happens. Everyone might judge Estrella for being selfish, but I can relate with her reasoning. True love makes you selfish. Now I know why I was temporarily attached to Estrella when we first met. It's all because we have several similarities. We are selfish in love. I am selfishly in love with Melody and I'm not ashamed. In fact, I'm proud. I know that I have wronged and hurt he

  • Pregnant And Rejected: His Wolfless Mate   Give Dorian To Her

    Melody "If we're not related, then that's a good opportunity to be together," Estrella muttered and moved towards Dorian as if what she just said made the most sense. Dorian's eyes widened and he stepped away, making Estrella's hand fall before she could touch him. "No way!" He replied, almost screaming. "You were my little sister and that's what you'll always be."I stood on the sidelines just like Derek and I watched the scene in front of me. Estrella wasn't bothered about the entire story that was narrated to her. All she cared about was Dorian. She wants him. She thinks they can be together just because they aren't related. But what about love? If he doesn't love her, how does she expect things to work out for them? She doesn't seem to care about love, she just wants him for herself."I don't want to be your sister!" She yelled, seemingly frustrated. "I want to be more than that!" She went towards Dorian with determination. "I want to be the only one you care about, just lik

  • Pregnant And Rejected: His Wolfless Mate   Be Together

    MelodyI could find no other reasonable explanation for both of us loving the same man. Derek was my mate but when he rejected me, he became bonded with Estrella. I probably felt the bond again because Estrella and I shared the same blood. Estrella loved Dorian but he loves me.... Or could he have loved her too? PpIt all seems like a puzzle and solving it seems like a difficult task. I don't know what to think anymore. "It's settled then," Derek finally spoke after staying quiet the whole time. We all turned our attention to him, hoping to hear what he had the say."...Since Estrella loves Dorian and they've been together all their lives, I think she deserves him and you....." he raised his head and met my gaze. "....You should be with me. We can raise our kids together."Really? That's his solution to all this. I shook my head and stepped away from him. Derek's delusions just keep increasing by the day. Why would he even think that I'd go back to him after all he's done to me?

    Melody“I left because I was in love with you.” My jaw dropped as I heard her say that. I wasn’t expecting that at all. I know that love knows no bounds, but being in love with her brother? Yes. Dorian and Estrella aren’t related, but Estrella doesn’t know this. Even now. So, how could she be in love with her supposed brother?“What?” Dorian exclaimed. He looked surprised just as I am.“Yes, Dorian. I was madly in love with you,” She affirmed, meeting Dorian’s eyes. “I still am.”What? Is she still in love with Dorian? No way!“You’ve got to be kidding,” Dorian scoffed. His brows, furrowed in confusion. “You can’t be serious.”He looked around as if to be sure that he was standing in the right place with the right people. He probably can’t believe his ears too.I can’t believe it either.“I know that it was wrong of me to harbor such feelings for you and that was why I was eager to find my mate. I felt the tingling sensation with the old Alpha and thought he was my mate, so I gave
