Draven FoxMy whole body tingled as I watched my mate curl on the bed, sleep consuming her almost immediately. Still wrapped up in the bliss of tasting her sweetness, I spooned her, pressing my front onto her back, only for my dick to stir the moment her ass rubbed on it. It had been semi-hard, but the moment her skin came into contact with it, blood rushed filled it's vessels."Fuck." I swore, holding her tighter and enjoying the feeling of her warmth. The cave smelt of sex, but her scent overpowered it—sweet and intoxicating, like lilies and alcohol, soothing my wolf on the inside. She looked so peaceful and relaxed, and so did I. An attempted push on my mind-link barrier reminded me that I had blocked everyone out. So I raised it, face palming, when my mother's voice flooded my mind almost instantly."Is Melody okay? I swear if you hurt her...""She's okay, mom." I cut her off, shifting so that my dick settled between my mate's ass cheeks. I had to swallow a grunt, remembering my
Melody ReeseHours after Draven and I had sex, we finally came back to the house to prepare for the ceremonies. Draven had left for his father's house when his mother and grandmother arrived, telling me that they would help me prepare. I wasn't opposed to the idea until Draven's mother told me that they'd have to wash me, shave my pubic hair, and massage me."That is the tradition, Melody." Astra insisted after I shook my head, letting out a series of no(s)."But I can bathe myself." I argued, looking at the luna for some help."I went through the same process, honey, and every other luna before me, and so will the next luna after you." She took my hands in hers, softening her gaze at me."Time is running out, and you have to be ready by the time the moon shines upon us. Come, we have already prepared a nice herbal bath for you in the guest tub to soak in." I reluctantly followed her into the guest room, with Astra following behind."That went easier than I expected." Astra spoke, fla
Draven Fox"Oh my god!" I breathed loudly, my mouth remaining agape for a few seconds as Melody walked up the steps to the stage. My eyes fell on her chest first, covered by only a translucent material that outlined her hardening nipples to my hungry eyes. The material showed off her tiny waist and her curvaceous figure as it flowed past her hips to her legs. With every step she took, the slit on the side revealed her creamy thigh, which had my hands itching to feel it."Dude, you'll swallow a fly if you don't close your mouth." Holden nudged, stiffling a laugh when I shook my head to snap out of it. My attempts failed though as Melody approached, her scent making me go dizzy. Then she bit her lower lip, pulling it between her teeth seductively as she roamed her eyes over my body. I wore a pair of black cargo pants, feet bare, and my upper body oiled up and out for her to ogle.My cock twitched under its confines, recognizing our mate as she stood beside me. We stood on the stage in f
Melody ReeseDraven leaned in and slanted his lips on my own, tasting me slowly and allowing me to feel every single sensation the kiss evoked. I found myself moaning into his mouth when he deepened the kiss while he traced his hand on my exposed thigh. It wasn't rushed at all, even though I could feel myself losing control.He moved his hand, trailing it up my thigh more slowly than I anticipated. My pulse accelerated as he inched closer to my weeping pussy, drawing lazy circles on my inner thigh. I could smell arousals from the present pack members, coupled with moans, but I didn't care to look at whatever was happening. My wolf and I sank into the feeling of desire our mate invoked, hooking us to only him alone."Oh god." I moaned when we came up for air, his mouth latching on a spot between my left shoulder and my neck. Shivers of pleasure pumped through my body when he sucked harder, eliciting another cry of desire from me."No panties? Naughty mate." He huskily spoke against the
Draven FoxTwo days after the mating and marking, I sat in my office, going through every single treaty my father had signed. Melody was checking up on pups with her new friend Daisy after hours of making love. As I came to the treaty between my pack and the Starfall pack, the grip on the pen I was holding tightened. The name on the file alone stirred a boiling feeling inside of me.Just then, a knock sounded on the door, snapping me out of it. "Alpha," Mason bowed, standing legs apart and hands behind his back."I trust you're well." I gestured for him to sit down, pushing the file aside."I am; thank you, alpha." He acknowledged my position again, sitting attentively."Melody told me about the phone call you overheard between her mother and your former alpha." I couldn't pronounce his name without gagging."From now on, I am tasking you with following Gwen's every move. You are to report to me if she does anything suspicious." I placed my hands on the table, interlocked the fingers,
Melody Reese"Your arousal alone turned on every adult on the sacred grounds." Daisy talked about the mating for the third time, scowling when Jones sat beside her uninvited."You should have seen everyone go at it under the full moon; it was a freaking orgy." Jones chimed in excitedly as he joined us on the bleachers at the training grounds. I wanted to see teens train and try to connect with them. The meeting with the pups at school had gone pretty well, and I couldn't have been happier."Nobody invited you; go back to where you came from." Daisy scolded, glaring at Jones, who seemed unaffected. Instead, he crossed his legs and flashed a smile at her. I found their interaction interesting to look at."I came to say hi to luna Melody." He turned, bowing his head. "Greetings luna." He extended his arm in front of Daisy, making her roll her eyes. It seemed they had their own issues to deal with, but looking at it, it might have been that Daisy felt something for Jones."Just call me Me
Draven Fox"What do we have so far about the rogue sightings?" I asked my elite group of warriors, including trackers, while leaning on my chair in the boardroom. It was my responsibility to deal with it since I was the alpha."Nothing yet." Mark, one of the warriors, answered with a bow."I need something, anything." I sat upright, taking time to look at all of them. It was a last-minute meeting, one that was eating up my time to be with my mate. It was already dinner time, and all I wanted was to see her after a whole day of not being with her."We are trying to talk to the neighboring packs and nearby neutral towns to see if anyone has spotted them." Caleb answered, while the others nodded."No one has seen anything, but they promised to let us know if they do." Another spoke."I need something soon; otherwise, we won't know how to protect the pack. Dismissed." I was lenient, giving them the benefit of the doubt."Yes alpha." They answered almost at the same time, standing up as a
Melody Reese"What is it?" I weakly asked, still gripped by the orgasm Draven had given me. He looked zoned out, his teeth clenching, making his jaw twitch. I could sense a change in his mood, even though he was trying to remain calm."Your mother." He spat, fixing his gaze on the opposite wall."I don't understand." I picked up a pillow and placed it over my lap as I sat up and leaned on the headboard. His pheromones had changed, his bulge had gone, and whatever it was couldn't have been any good."She was spotted with a rogue." I swallowed hard when he answered, my heart leaping to my throat instantaneously. I hadn't told him that I saw her the day his patrol guards made the discovery of rogues. I had been skeptical after he marked me, but surprisingly, he had stayed out of my mind and hadn't discovered the secret yet."What is she doing with a rogue? Is she okay? Is she hurt?" I asked, trying to mask my knowledge about my mother. I hoped my mate wouldn't detect my lie. I just wasn'
Third POVTwo Years LaterDraven and Melody heaved consecutive sighs of relief after their twins finally fell asleep. They had tried everything for hours to get Astra Mae Fox and her brother Knox to sleep, including massage, swaying, and singing lullabies. Only when they contacted Scarlett did they get a complete guide, which worked within minutes. Now they had to tiptoe around and make little to no noise, so the twins couldn't wake up."Stubborn babies." Draven whined in a low voice, sleeping on his back on their bed, eyes tightly closed."I almost cried." Melody confessed, making Draven chuckle lightly, before he got a slap on his arm."Lower your voice. If you wake them up, I swear I will run out of this house and leave you alone with them." Melody sternly stated in a low voice, glaring at Draven as she lied beside him."I didn't think putting a baby to sleep would be so haard." Draven exaggerated the word 'hard' making Melody roll her eyes even though she knew so well what he was
Melody Reese"Mmh." Draven swallowed my low moan in the kiss, deepening it and making my heart beat fiercely. His lips were salty sweet, moving against my cold ones, warming them as the intensity increased. It felt like days since we had a true slow kiss without any worry of lurking enemies or evil plans being plotted against us. His fingers combed through my hair, his touch completely pulling me into a pool of desire."Goddess, you taste so good." He rasped against my lips when he pulled away, his eyes roaming over my face."And you look so inviting right now." He added in an evident rasp, using his other hand to swipe a thumb gently over my lower lip. I was at a loss for words, just drinking in his riveting features and wanting more of him."I would have loved to fuck you right here right now, but..." He trailed off."But?" I raised an eyebrow, almost challengingly, as I shifted on the hospital bed."We are in the infirmary, in one of the check-up rooms." He clarified, looking aroun
Draven FoxI couldn't count how many handshakes and condolences I received from my pack members after the ceremony. My mother had whisked Melody away the moment it was all over, leaving me to interact on their behalf, citing that stress wasn't good for Melody. There was still a part of me that didn't want to accept that nana was gone and that it could have been prevented. Had I listened to Melody from the start about not trusting Jones with Mercy, Astra would still be alive."You cannot blame yourself when fate happens." My father's voice invaded my mind, snapping me back to reality. It looked like I had greeted the last few pack members absentmindedly."I am not blaming myself." I replied in a harsh tone, pocketing my hands in my slacks."I know you, son; I can see it written on your face." He insisted.I sighed, "Fine. But can you judge me, though? I was supposed to know something wasn't right with Jones the moment he started conniving against us." I pulled out my hand from my pocke
Melody ReeseDespite every attempt to keep Draven off my mind, the state of his mom, and Jones all together, I still found myself pacing around in the sitting room. My eyes kept darting toward the front door, praying for my mate to push it open. As if the goddess had decided to respond to my prayers instantly, the door knob moved. I halted, folding my hands together as if saying thank you, and looked as the oaken door was pushed open."Draven!" I squealed, running toward him when he finally stepped in, a very large, telling smile gracing his handsome face. He spread his arms, but before I threw myself on him, a scent, even though weaker than his usual masculine one, hit my nostrils. I put on breaks, standing just a few steps from him as my eyes roamed around his body, inspecting him for any injuries."Melody?" His brows shot up, his shoulders rising up in question."Is he..." I trailed off after the realization that it wasn't his blood dawned on me. A relief washed over me as I exhale
Draven FoxAfter cutting the mind link with an overly excited Melody after hearing the news of where Jones was, we spread out. We planned to approach Mercy's home from different directions so that if Jones escaped, we would have extremely high chances of catching him. It was a solid plan, one that we kept just between the three of us, Holden, Mason, and me. I wasn't about to tell my warriors and risk Jones getting wind of it. At that moment, he was an enemy—a dangerous, traitorous one that needed to be tamed."How come Mercy's parents just let him stay there?" Mason asked via the mind link, positioned a few meters north of the two-story house."They are not there. They left the pack the moment they heard what their daughter had done," I answered, crouching low behind tall grass a few steps after the tree line on the back of the house. The lights were off, and except for sounds made by small animals, it was extremely silent. That meant that we had to be extra stealthy; otherwise, Jones
Melody ReeseI threw the covers off and sat up, putting my hands above my head. Time seemed to have stagnated; the howls subsided, and uncomfortable silence reigned. I didn't know how long I had slept, but there was still daylight streaming through the window. My heart was still heavy, and I could feel the puffiness around my eyes without even touching or looking. It was still surreal how so much chaos could take place in just one day.Throwing my legs over the edge of the bed, palms on the mattress, and forearm facing forward, I sat there for a few seconds, finding some bearing. The ache Draven had caused between my legs was still there. My clit was still throbbing, begging to be relieved, but I attempted to ignore that and let my feet finally touch the area rug on the floor."When will this be over?" I talked out loud, heaving a prolonged low sigh as I thought about going downstairs to the kitchen. I was craving cocoa since I hadn't taken it earlier. I couldn't feel Draven's emotion
Draven Fox"Any report?" I asked Holden when I joined him in the search minutes later. My heart constricted at the thought of leaving Melody alone, but it had to be done that way."None; it's like he disappeared into thin air." There must be somewhere he was hiding and something he was using to hide his scent. Without a scent, it was almost impossible to track and locate him."He knows this pack like the back of his hand. He must have a hideout; we just have to figure out where." Holden added when I remained silent. I was trying to come up with a way to smoke him out, but it was proving hard because my mind was a mess with nana's passing and Melody's state."He told me he did it for power." I suddenly said, trying to let my mind cool down."I know; he told me the same. You said I was your favorite, and that's why you chose me to be your beta when you demoted Nova." The tone of his voice didn't change. It remained even, barely depicting an emotion."You don't seem affected." I pressed.
Melody Reese"I can help you catch him." I blurted it out once we got inside the house, after Draven pulled me in while looking around."Absolutely not!" He replied instantly, looking at me as if I had become mad."He wants me; why don't you let him think he can get me?" I insisted, crossing my fingers that he would agree."You are nuts if you think I am letting you out of this compound. Nothing will make me break that spell unless it is Jone's headless body." He stated, throwing me over his shoulder, then began walking towards the stairs."What was that for?" I complained when he slapped my ass, sending shivers down my spine, but I wasn't about to admit that I loved it."For daring to risk your life and our babies." He nonchalantly answered before adding another one that stung but soon was replaced by sparks of pleasure when he began rubbing the spot."But it will work, I know." I argued, biting my lower lip, when he spanked me two times without any pause in between. They were fast a
Draven FoxI stood in nana's backyard, looking at her lifeless body, as my mother cradled her head in her lap. She wasn't crying; no, she was staring at space, rocking back and forth as if her mind was slowly processing everything. Then she began mumbling the healing spell; it was almost as if she was slowly losing her mind without knowing it."Let go, mom." I said in a broken voice, my Adam's apple forcefully bobbing up and down over the lump that had formed."No, no, no." She whispered, then threw her head backwards and, in human form, let out an extremely loud howl that carried with it the pain of losing someone so special to her. Almost after that, dad howled behind me, and the elders that he seemed to have gathered joined him too, and they howled to the moon goddess together.As I listened to them and looked at my nana, it almost felt like I was in a frozen state. My mind was still processing what my eyes were seeing and my ears were hearing. Then, with a slight push inside of me
