Melody ReeseDraven roamed his eyes over my body without any shame whatsoever, his gaze lingering on my thighs, then up my chest. "You look edible." He threw the word carelessly, making my entire face warm up a bit. I wore a floral dress that reached just above my knees, with a medium v-neck and straps."Thank you; your mom really got a perfect fit." I checked him out as well, dressed in a simple black shirt that outlined his ripped chest and broad muscular shoulders. His loose shorts, on the other hand, revealed toned legs that showed he didn't play around at the gym."Continue looking at me like that if you want to miss dinner." He warned, my stomach choosing that moment to rumble."Come on." He guided me by giving me a gentle push on my lower back. The hallway wasn't that long and was painted a nice gray with white undertones. Black oaken doors sat on either side, with the floor covered with black rugs. Draven's scent was all over, soothing my wolf with every breath I took in."Did
Draven Fox"Where is everyone?" Melody looked around the empty pack grounds near my house. I had moved out of my parents' home once I turned 16 and kept a good distance from the rest of the pack. My house was situated near Astra's cabin, my grandmother, who was currently at my father's smaller pack, that was under Jasper's rule."I know you're not ready to meet anyone else, so I ordered them to keep off this part of the pack." I beckoned her to walk with me, following the gravel pathway that led to the woods behind my house. I loved going for runs in my wolf form, especially at night, and I preferred doing them in my own space. The woods near my house were open for every member of the pack, but few explored them out of respect for my position."You didn't have to." She smiled anyway, jogging toward the tree line. Despite her floral dress being a flare, I could still make out her ass as it bounced under the material."Come on, don't tell me it doesn't excite you knowing that we will be
Melody ReeseSuddenly, Draven totally lost it, a deep growl emanating from the deepest part of his throat. It was enough to shake me to my core; the power in it made my wolf cower."Draven." I whispered, taking a step back."What the hell?" A heave tore out of my open mouth when I looked at his eyes. They were glowing a mix of green and red, dripping with spite."Oh my god." I whispered as he turned around at a speed a human eye could not apprehend. Then, in an instance, his claws extended as he lifted his hand, clawing at the bark of a gnarled tree that was behind him."Did he cum in your mouth?" His voice changed; it was so thick that it sounded inhuman. My feet remained rooted, as my hands fell on my sides, eyes looking at his tense, broad back."He..." I swallowed saliva, forcing it past the big lump that had formed in my throat."Ye-s, he forced me to swallow it." My stomach churned yet again as I lived through short bits of the scene again. It is like the clouds opened after I s
Draven FoxMy wolf panted, saliva dripping as my gums tingled the more I envisioned sinking my teeth into Nathan's throat. My wolf and I accelerated our speed, twisting in between the trees and the rest of the vegetation. Even though my wolf took charge, we thought as one; we were after one thing—Nathan's blood.He had no idea what he had coming—a live wire that had just been dipped under water. I imagined tearing him apart, finger by finger, toe by toe. My wolf barked at the idea of piercing his hideous eyes with one of my claws. Small and big animals scattered as our paws came into contact with the ground.He was going to pay for it, and we would make sure of it. Minutes passed by as we followed the map, and I was glad I had memorized the location of each pack and the directions. I knew I was in neutral territory, half way closer to the Starfall pack. It all happened very fast. One minute we were listening to Melody talk, and the next, my wolf just took over. The thirst for blood an
Melody Reese"As you all know, Draven will be coronated as our new alpha at the end of this week." Alpha Jaxon boomed over the pack field filled with hundreds of pack members. Cheers erupted, showing just how much the entire pack adored my mate. I looked at him as he stood on the podium behind his father and beside his mother. His face was blank of any emotion; his hands were crossed behind his back, and his eyes seemed a little distant."Some werewolves find their mates immediately after becoming of age; some take some time, and unfortunately for others, they die without experiencing the bond." A silence reigned as I chewed on my lips, creating a distraction for what was coming.The idea of standing in front of an entire pack of strangers didn't appeal to me. People that I would have to gain their trust in order to try and fit among them. "Fortunately for Draven, the moon goddess has given him his mate even before his coronation." Murmurs filled the open grounds, spreading from one pe
Draven FoxI looked at Melody as she curled up on the guestroom bed, her eyes fixed on one spot. She didn't even move as I entered, nor did she spare me a glance. Whatever was going on in her head must have been heavy and mind-boggling."Have you been sitting there since I left an hour ago?" Melody didn't even stir, making my forehead crease."Melody?" I closed the distance between us and shook her gently."Dra-ven?" She blinked, shaking her head a few times."What is it, Mel? I have been trying to talk to you for the last minute, but you didn't even notice my arrival." I sat on the bed beside her, snaking my arm around her waist as we leaned on the headboard."I'm sorry about that, I just have a lot going on in my mind." Her voice had no liveliness; it was flat, without any emotion. It was like she was numb, and I couldn't help but feel her state had something to do with Mason."You know you can talk to me, right? I know I scared you yesterday, but I swear I didn't mean to hurt you."
Melody ReeseI held my breath as Draven shifted on the bed and leaned on the headboard. As if I weighed nothing, he lifted me up and placed me on his lap, my legs going on either side of his hips. Thick tension filled the room as he openly looked at my lips."Does it scare you?" He suddenly asked, squeezing my waist."What?" I asked, my eyes failing to look at anything other than his pink lips—the same ones I had wanted since the first day I saw him. They were simply inviting, and all I could wonder about at that moment was how they tasted."Being mated to a stranger?" He lowered his voice, gazing at me intently. My face heated up under his fierce eyes, a warmth caressing my cheeks."It doesn't." I truthfully answered, placing my hands on his firm shoulders. I alternated between looking at his eyes and gazing at his lips. I felt his eyes on me as I snaked my tongue out and slowly licked my lower lip. It was a bait, and I was almost certain that he would take it."Fuck it." He said swi
Melody ReeseMinutes after Draven left, I decided to go out and familiarize myself with the pack members. After all, I needed to try and establish a relationship with them. Luna Scarlett had offered to walk me around, but I wanted to do it alone first. So many things were happening at the same time, and I could feel myself getting lost in them. Talking a walk in the fresh air, under the warm sun rays, and meeting new people was what I needed.When I stepped out on the porch, Mason was casually coming up the steps, and he wasn't alone. It seemed Draven had kept his word after all. "Are you leaving? Alpha Draven asked me to come keep you company." He spoke."Oh, this is the roommate I told you about." He added when he noticed my eyes lingering on his friend. He was a head shorter than him, but more muscular, and he appeared to be a bit reserved."I'm Davis; it's nice to meet you in person, luna." He bowed before extending his arm cautiously toward me."Please call me Melody; I'm not the
