Melody Reese"I couldn't have guessed you had such a cruel past." I sparked up a conversation between Mason and me a few days after he revealed what happened. During the days we spent apart, he, Draven, and his closest and most trusted warriors were plotting an attack based on the map of Nathan's pack. The secret meetings went on until late at night, and most of the time I had to stay with the Draven's parents, bonding with them."I couldn't let it show; I had a plan to follow." He said it nonchalantly as he circled a spot on the map with black ink. We were currently in his shared room in the pack house with Davis."Anyway, that's not why I came." I changed the topic just as soon as I started it."Where have you reached concerning Mercy?" I asked, placing my elbows on my knees as I made myself comfortable on his queen-sized bed."And, btw, why are you still living here? You deserve your own quarters, or a cabin. Didn't Draven offer you a suitable place for your rank?" I added, watchin
Draven FoxI woke up to Melody scampering off the bed, running toward the bathroom. As my eyes adjusted to the morning light and before she disappeared behind the door, I caught a glimpse of one hand covering her mouth. Without wasting time, I jumped off, then padded on the area rug, following her. She had left the door half-way open, enough for me to see her bending over the toilet bowl, heaving.The acrid smell of her stomach contents hit my nostrils as she made gagging sounds. "Melody?" I pushed the door open and rushed to her side, listening to the sounds of her vomit hitting the water in the bowl. I helped her up when she was done, flashed the toilet, and then led her to the sink. I held her as she rinsed her mouth and then brushed her teeth without saying a word to me. My brows seemed to furrow permanently as she stumbled forward when she bent to wash her face."Please talk to me. How are you feeling?" I literally begged, snaking my arm around her waist to her lower belly to kee
MelodyI sat on the porch, watching as trees swayed in the wind on the far end of our compound. I was feeling nauseous after taking lunch and decided to get out and enjoy fresh air, hoping it would help. Draven had refused to go to the office, insisting that I wasn't okay. When I refused to go see the doctor, he suggested I talk to his mother instead. Needing answers of my own too, I agreed.I didn't know what exactly was wrong with me, but deep down I knew it wasn't something that needed a doctor's examination. I leaned on the Valentina rocking chair and closed my eyes as I rocked, slowly being pulled into thoughts. Lost in my mind, I allowed the cold breeze to caress my exposed skin, dressed in a crop top and shorts."She didn't lie." Scarlett's voice drifted to my ears, making me slowly open my eyes. Her voice only made the jumble of ideations in my mind dissolve instantly. With her presence came the usual peace she brought anytime she was around."Mom?" It came out as a question a
Draven Fox"Pregnant." I whispered, my voice barely coming out as a barrage of emotions bombarded my system and our bond. It started as soon as I read the results—a tingle on my fingers and toes that was growing so fast. I held Melody in my arms as I let everything sink into my bones. In that moment, I closed my eyes while I savored the moment but never loosened my hold on Mel's warm body. She was literally trembling, her shoulders shaking as she cried on my shoulder.We stayed that way for a while, just basking in the news, with Mel letting tears of happiness flow freely and soak my shirt. I hadn't anticipated such amazing, wonderful news when my parents invited us over, especially when it was my father who did it. "No wonder your moods are all over the place." I knew that pregnancy came with mood swings, but I couldn't have guessed that my mate was expectant."I can't believe it." She whispered back, her voice muffled against my body."You better do babe; we are going to be parents.
MelodyAfter so much lovemaking almost the whole day, we finally settled in bed, showered and tired. I struggled to keep my eyes open as sleep quickly knocked. Even so, nobody could wipe the smile that was on my face or the glimmer in my half-closed eyes. "What do you want to eat?" Draven asked softly, burying his face in the part between my neck and shoulder.His arms wound out around me, joining his hands under my uncovered boobs. "I already ate." I answered, then licked my lips, remembering the taste of his cum in my mouth."Naughty." He chuckled before delivering an open-mouth kiss on my neck that sent sparks flying. I shifted impossibly closer to him as we spooned, enjoying each other's warmth and company."But seriously, I will get something to eat when I feel hungry; don't worry, I feel fine for now." I spoke, closing my eyes."I'll get a good house manager for you, someone to cook for you, and do all sorts of chores." Draven said, unlinking his hands. My breath hitched when he
Draven Fox"I need a detailed update on where you've reached with Mercy." I leaned on my chair in my study room inside my office, watching at him closely, seated on the other side of the table. "She is still adamant that she was harassing luna because she feels like she was the one responsible for Nancy's death." He replied and clearly that is not what I wanted to hear."Does she know that you're the one who finished Nancy off in the dungeons?" I asked, tapping my index finger on my chin."No, otherwise she wouldn't even be talking to me." He knew at that moment that he was addressing his alpha and not his friend. "Get me answers Jones. Or I will begin to think that you're not fit for this job." As much as our plan for the attack on Nathan was set, we needed to first know what he was planning and only Mercy could provide that piece of information."I will not disappoint you alpha." He kept his jokes aside whenever duty called, so I trusted him to get the job done."It's five minutes
Melody Reese"You're not wearing that." I rolled my eyes when Draven pointed at my outfit, disapproval written in his eyes."Why not?" I shrugged my shoulders, then smoothed my white crop t-shirt that reached a little above my navel. I paired it with blue ripped jeans and flip flops, and as for my hair, I let it loose, falling on my back in waves."Baby, as much as they are our friends, they are still men and..." He trailed off when his eyes landed on my chest and stayed there without moving."What?" I waved a hand in front of his face when his eyes remained unblinking."You're not even wearing a bra!" He exclaimed, making me drop my eyes to my chest."Babe, you're overreacting. It's just Mason, Holden, Caleb Jones, and maybe Davis. What could those five possibly want with my breasts?" I curved my mouth downward."I can literally see your hard nipples right now, pressing that skimpy cloth, and I just told you that they are men." He couldn't keep his voice down as he expressed his frus
Draven FoxAfter so many congratulations and happy dances, everyone settled down, all of them admiring Melody. It was one thing to be a luna and another to give the pack an heir to the alpha position. According to my mother, it came naturally for the members to love the alpha's child and to want to protect it. Looking at Melody as she relished in all the compliments and admiration just brought an honest smile to my face."I don't mean to spoil this, but there's something we are forgetting." It was Mason who spoke. He had drowned almost half a crate of beer alone and was minutes away from getting scotch instead."Don't you dare ruin this happy moment, you bastard." Jones had spiked his drink with achenka, the herb, to get drunk a bit. It was working well because he could barely sit straight."Shut up." Mason hissed playfully at him, earning an eye roll from Jones."Jones is right, and I can tell from your tone that you are about to shift from the joy right now, man." Caleb added, with
