DerekI didn't know how to stop Melody from saying those words. I couldn't let her sever the bond just like that.I mean, I have to find out what is going on with me first. Melody was in a hurry to end it all. Years ago, no matter how many times I shout at her, she wouldn't leave. No matter how many times I push her away, she stuck around, but now, she wants to sever our bond just like that?Did that Alpha bewitch her? Or is she really his mate?That is impossible and I know it. The possibility of a wolf having two mates is slim, very slim. And a wolf can't get a second chance mate when their bond with their previous mate is still intact, so what is going on? Why has Melody let go of her feelings for me?"I Melody Wayne accept your....."No way! I was snapped out of my confused thoughts at her words. She really wanted to accept it, but I wouldn't let that happen. My mind was confused, I didn't know what to do to stop her from saying those words, so I did the only thing that came to
Derek"What has happened?" I asked as soon as we sat in the carriage. "Your majesty, some rouges have been found in our territories. They've attacked some villages in the north.""What? How did that happen? We had strong men stationed at the borders, right?" I demanded."Yes, your majesty, we did," he replied, seemingly angry too. "I do not know how they've managed to cross and that is why we must act fast. If they attack us from the south and conquer, we'll be rendered weak."Rendered weak? No way! This is my kingdom and it will never be rendered weak. "What do you propose?" Maximus took out a map immediately. He sat on the floor of the carriage while I watched what he was doing. I only asked for his opinion. I wonder why he has a map."The best thing to do now is to deploy more soldiers to the north to subdue the enemy while we send reinforcements to the south, in case they target our other weak point. Then we'll send our able wolves to hold the east and west to prevent any attac
Melody"How do I look?" Sofia asked for the hundredth time that day. "You look ravishing," I replied honestly. She was indeed looking gorgeous. "Malcolm will fall heads over hills for you.""Are you sure?" She asked, making me laugh."Of course, even a blind man can see how much he loves you." "He loves me?" Sofia was out of her chair and beside me in a jiffy. "Did he tell you that?"I understand why she was anxious about this. It's good to find your mate, but it's best if your mate loves you, and who better than me understands this fact?"No, he didn't tell me...." Sofia pouted and sat down. I squatted in front of her to complete the rest of my words. "...But I can see it in his eyes."I know my brother so well and I can tell that he loves Sofia. Judging from how he looks at her as if she was his world and the way he puts her interest first before his. It was all too clear, but my silly princess still doesn't see that. "Trust me Sofia, Malcolm loves you." I assured her, as I fixe
Melody"Never mess with my fiance!" I rubbed my injured foot and watched as she dumped the basket on me before storming off. Mess with her fiance? When did I do that? Wasn't it the other way round? I wonder if I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. That's probably why everyone keeps blaming me even though I have done nothing. I decided to stay quiet since it was Sofia's wedding. I wouldn't want to ruin it. Besides, father's keen eyes had been on me the entire time, sending warnings. He still hasn't changed. Always thinks the worst of me. I shook my head and followed Sofia as the couple were made to stand under the moonlight to take their second vows with the moon goddess as witness. My foot hurt badly, yet I managed to keep the pain in. I promised to be there with Sofia the entire time today and I will uphold that promise. She moved the wedding up just to have me attend. I won't disappoint her. After taking their vows, they sat down to receive their gifts and I got the c
Derek"Melody" That seems to be the only name I hear lately. Even my name is starting to sound like that. I wonder what has gone wrong in my head. Sometimes she even appears in my dreams. The irony of my situation is very funny, isn't it? I mean, the woman I spent half of my life hating has started haunting my dreams. Just not in a frightening but in a disturbing way.I feel disturbed and restless. She doesn't care what I think or do to her. Unlike before when what I think matters to her. Sometimes I wish that Melody would return. I am not used to this phlegmatic one. She doesn't even care who I am. The respect she gives me is just a necessity. I'm sure she wouldn't respect me if she had a choice. I see no ounce of respect for me in her eyes. The way she addresses me sounds like a taunt coming from her.She never hides her hatred for me and that hurts something in me. Probably my male ego. I see her everywhere. I hear her laughter every time and I keep remembering those long tre
MelodyMy father believed that I was raped because I seduced men. He thinks whatever happened to me was what I deserved? Why? Why does father hate me so much? Why would he think that so lowly of me?"Father, Melody was a victim back then. Don't blame her." Malfoy sounded displeased. I could tell that he also didn't like what father said about me. "Father, please. Don't go about saying such things about Melody. She is your daughter, our sister."Malcolm chose to remind our father of our relationship just in case he forgot. Because, I can't believe that a father would think so lowly of their child. Agreed that I was born differently. But should I be treated this way just because I was born without a wolf?"She is no child of mine!" Father retorted. His eyes glowed with rage. "I never gave birth to a disgrace!"No. This is too much. I can't stand this anymore.My head was starting to spin and my foot was aching more than ever. As if the pain in my heart wasn't enough. What did I e
DerekThis isn't right. Why does the Viscount have so many hurtful words to haul at Melody? Those words were too cruel and shouldn't even be used on an enemy. And to think that he was actually talking to his daughter.I have always seen how much the Viscount loved his children. I never knew he harbored so much hatred for Melody.'Well, that makes two of you.' Jay hissed.He has been screaming and struggling to be let out since the beginning of the conversation going on in there. I managed to hold him off somehow. I can't imagine having my wolf attack Viscount Maximus. It will be a war I'm not sure I will win. Besides, what would I say? For what reason did I attack the man?'He insulted our mate!' Jay replied again, making my head ache. I wanted to say that Melody wasn't my mate anymore, but I couldn't because I know she still is. I can feel the bond. However, what baffles me is who did that to her? Who raped her? And why did it have to be on the same night that I had that.....
Derek"Melody, you and I need to talk."Honestly, I had nothing to say to her but to find out what exactly happened to her. Malcolm wouldn't tell me, neither would anyone from the Wayne family. So I thought I could hear it from the horse's mouth. "Your majesty."I didn't realize where I was going until I heard the guards' greetings. Only then did it occur to me that I had brought Melody to the guest chamber. The same place I occupied the night that I....met that woman."Why have you brought me here?" She asked, but I chose not to answer. I do not even know why. I don't know why my legs brought me here when I had Melody in my arms. Was it because I was thinking about that night? Or is it because Melody was slowly taking that woman's place in my heart?"I...Uh..." I tried to think of an answer. A king shouldn't stutter. "This is the place I mostly occupy around here, so, I...." I paused as I noticed how strangely she was staring at the place. So I quickly added, "Besides, this plac

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
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
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
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
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
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
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
