DerekWhy does Melody's hand feel so strangely familiar? We've never held hands before and I'm only holding onto her right now because I can feel her impatience. She was trying to run away. She didn't want to go into her mother's chamber and I have a strong suspicion that this is related to the reason why she left the pack before. I want to find out what happened and I will stop at nothing to get my answer, even if I have to hold her hand against my wish. I rubbed my hands against hers again and I felt this familiar feeling. It felt as if I have held this hands before now. The warmth and softness of her hand reminds me of the woman I spent the night with those years ago. I know for a fact that it couldn't be Melody, but why does her hand feel so familiar? I tried to figure out why I was having this strange feeling, then her body brushed against mine as she moved to go into her mother's arms. I felt it again the tingles and this isn't from the mate bond. This is something differe
Derek"My sister already found her mate!" At first it felt as if I didn't hear him right. Did he just say that Melody found her mate? Shouldn't that be me? I mean, I know I rejected her a long time ago, but she still hasn't accepted the rejection which means our bond is still there. I'm still connected to her, so who is this new mate she's found? "She's found her mate?" I repeated like it was the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Well honestly, it is. How can she find her mate when I am standing right here and she hasn't found me?"Yes, he is an Alpha from across the sea." Malcolm replied with pride. He was so proud of the fact that Melody was getting married to this alpha. What's so special about getting married to an alpha, huh?'Her real mate is a king dude, why are you so enthralled by the fact that she is engaged to a mere alpha?' I wanted to shout out loud, but it will only make me sound crazy. Especially after I had rejected her. "Oh, I see." I muttered instead. My
Melody Before I could realise what was happening. The glow in Derek's eyes was gone. It was as if it never appeared there in the first place. I moved to go to him; to check if it was my imagination or did his eyes really twinkle like Aaron's? However, Derek excused himself and went out of the room. I tried to go after him; I needed to be sure. "Melody!" Sophia pulled me into her arms. Hugging me so tight that I almost couldn't breathe. "I've missed you so much!"Honestly, I've missed her too, but what could I do? Her brother wanted me to stay away, so I did. "How are you doing, your highness?" I asked, before getting pulled out of mother's chambers. "I have a lot to say to you." She pulled me back to the garden. "Really?" I smiled seeing the excitement on her face and in her tone. It was obvious that she couldn't wait to tell me all she has kept buried within her all these years. "Yes Mel! A lot!" She exclaimed. We finally stopped and sat down on the garden swing. Sitting on
DerekI wanted to leave. I wanted to go back to the palace and leave that place, but I couldn't. For some damn reason, I felt like seeing Melody one last time. I wanted to speak to her. I didn't know why or what I would talk to her about, but something in me kept pushing to go talk to her. 'Damn you, Jay,' I cursed my wolf. I know that I am feeling this way because of him. It's all him. He is the one that is dying to speak to Melody and I am forced to do it too. I searched everywhere for her, but she was nowhere to be found. Then, I met Malcolm who told me where to look, and behold, she was right there. She seemed to be having some serious discussion with Sofia and they were happy as they spoke to each other. I took my time assessing and checking her out from afar. Those beautiful sparkling eyes. Her long tresses. That lovely smile and those set of pearly white teeth. Everything about her was beautiful. I wonder why I didn't notice all this before. I didn't know how or when my
MelodyHow dare he! How could he do that to me? Who does he think he is? Just because he is king, he thinks he can do anything he wants?First he rejected me and treated me like I was nothing tangible, then he taunted me for not accepting his rejection and when I was about to accept the rejection, he kissed me.I placed my hand on my lips where he kissed me and all I could feel was anger. If I was that young Melody who ran after Derek all her life, then I will probably be jumping with joy. But I am not that naive girl anymore. I am Melody and I'm the mother of two strong young wolves and I am the would-be Luna of the Dark Flame Pack. I refuse to be treated that way. I wish I could slap him some sense, but I couldn't do that just because he is the king. He is the Alpha king and should be respected. However, I can't promise not to slap him the next time he does that to me. Angrily, I marched towards my chambers where I met Sofia waiting outside. "Melody, here, check this out." She
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

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
