Draven FoxI watched Melody sleep as I placed a tray of breakfast on the bedside table. I had tired her completely with session after session of pure wild sex. As if sensing my presence in the room, she stirred, then opened her eyes lazily. The first thing she did was smile, then sniffed the air as the aroma of the beef sausages, warm, freshly baked toast, and coffee wafted into her nostrils."Good morning, babe." I bent over the side of the bed and kissed her cheek. She mumbled "good morning" in a groggy voice, then tried sitting up. She loudly winced, closing her eyes tightly for a few seconds. I felt sorry for her because I knew she was sore, but she would heal soon. I extended my hand for her to take, then helped her sit up, careful not to cause more pain."You're enjoying this." She mumbled when I smiled in pride for a job well done. My eyes took in her upper nude body, but I restrained myself from getting aroused."What?" I acted stupid, placing a pillow on the headboard for her
Melody ReeseAfter apologizing to Draven over and over again for keeping the information about my mom hidden, he finally forgave me. As he drove to the main pack entrance, though, his mood changed entirely. His grip on the steering wheel tightened the closer we got to the entrance. "You'll break the steering." I pointed out, earning a side glance so brief that I almost felt like I imagined it."Seriously, babe, you need to calm down." I urged, earning another silence treatment. With a sigh, I leaned on my leather seat and instead enjoyed the sight of the trees zooming past us. There seemed to be a few pack members walking around, but I assumed they knew there were members of another pack near their territory.He packed right by the gated entrance, which was heavily guarded, both on the inside and the outside. We found Holden waiting, bowing as he led us to where the men were. There were two of them, seemingly around the elders age. Their vehicle was packed further away from us, alread
Draven Fox"What!" Melody shot from the seat, eyes directed at her father, whose mind seemed to be elsewhere."Dad." She shouted, snapping him out of whatever place his mind seemed to be at."Uum, sorry, what?" He rubbed his neck sheepishly, looking at my mate. Everyone quieted down as Melody sought the truth."Did you know that my mother killed her sister?" Melody asked, positioning her hands on either side of her waist and directing her eyes at her father.He hesitated, looking at Paul and Peter, but instead they directed their gaze to the floor. "Father." Melody shouted, gritting her teeth. I could feel her patience running out, and I could only soothe her quietly to calm down."Y-es." He answered quietly in a stammer."Unbelievable." Melody muttered, turning around to look at me."Come here, baby." I relayed through our bond, nodding at her when she hesitated."I understand how you're feeling right now, but give him time to explain why he kept it from you." I urged her, snaking my
Melody ReeseEverything about Peter and Paul's story sounded like it came straight from a fantasy land. Had I not seen my own mother wanting to kill me, I would have never believed any word that the two men were saying. So with a heavy head and a brewing headache, I sat down on my mate, curling into him as I tried to make sense of the story. I had the urge to go hug my father, rub his back, and assure him that everything was okay, but I couldn't. How could he not know what Gwen did all those years they stayed together?"After you marked Gwen as your chosen, did you go back with her to your pack?" Alpha Jaxon asked after staying quiet for a long time, quietly observing the scene."No, she wanted to be left to make sure her sister was okay first. So I, I left alone after we decided I'd come back for her after two weeks." My father answered, his shoulders now slumped forward and his voice nasal."So it was at that time that you went and thought about how you had made a mistake and came b
Draven Fox"No wonder it was easy for her to force me into Nathan's arms." Melody sighed, curling further into my chest inside my office, minutes after everybody, including Peter and Paul, left."It was never about hating me," she laughed bitterly. "It was about saving her own life.""Can you, though?" I asked, rubbing her back as she got comfortable."Can I what?" She raised her head, looking at me from under her eyebrows."The prophecy clearly said that Gwen would die of her blood. When the time comes, will you kill her?" I tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, then slightly rubbed the side of my hand on her soft cheek."Honestly," she sighed, letting her eyes roam around."I don't know if I can do it despite everything that she has done." She answered, tilting her mouth to the side."You don't need to think about that now." I said."But she is my mother, a monster. How can I not think about everything evil she has done in her life?" She shifted on the couch, draping her arm
Melody ReeseBlood seemed to freeze inside my body as I looked at my mom's passport. Her hair had been dyed from black to copper and covered with a fitting baseball cap. She had a piercing on her nose and wore heavy make-up, but I could still recognize her evil face from miles away. Sure, she could have fooled everyone else, but no matter what she did to alter her looks, I'd always identify her."Can you give me a call when she comes back?" Draven plastered a forced smile on his face, handing Mark his card."Of course. But why do you suddenly seem to be interested in her? She is not even from around here." Mark pressed, putting Draven's contact card in his pocket."Mark." Draven deepened his voice, letting his warning alpha aura slip in. Mark gulped, stepping back from the counter, when he felt the change in Draven's mood."I will call you." He whispered as a thin layer of sweat began to form."You should remember that my father conquered your pack, killed Silas, and took over, puttin
Draven Fox"Please let me know if you need anything else." The store attendant's voice outside the room snapped us out of the hole of bliss we had plunged into, making us pull away from the kiss."You drive me crazy." I spoke after a few seconds of panting, enjoying the pink blush on Melody's cheeks. She had been affected as much as I was, given the faint scent of her arousal."As you do." She replied, smiling at me to reveal her white teeth."Come on, you have like 50 dresses to try, and you take twenty minutes to wear one." I teased her, pulling her towards the couch. I was pleased with the size of the fitting room, which could easily fit up to seven people."Stop exaggerating; I only use 10." She pouted, looking so damn sexy."As if that's better. It's a dress; it should take you less than a minute to put it on." I teased again, unable to control my eyes as they roamed over her beautiful, tempting body."Will you zip it and help me inside this one?" She picked the first one and pul
Melody ReeseWith Draven's arm protectively on the small of my back, we walked into the club, his aura alone demanding space to pass. It was crowded, loud, and filled with different colognes and scents—exactly how a place of fun was supposed to be. Confidently and protectively, he steered me further inside, his gaze straight ahead even as werewolves scampered away from him."You just give off alpha vibes without even talking, damn." I mind-linked him, smiling when he responded with a purr."What can I say? My dad made quite the reputation." He said this in pride as we went upstairs, leaving chaos of blaring music and grinding bodies on the ground floor."I don't see your father here. It's your aura, strong enough to make any other werewolf cower in your presence." He was trying so hard not to smile or react because apparently he wanted his no nonsense face to remain in place."This looks so good." I gushed, looking at the VIP lounge in awe. The interior was much different from the com
