Uncomfortable, was the first thought Melody had clearly. Very comfortable, her arm was killing her, alternating throbbing and sharp pains radiating up to her shoulder. When she tried to move around to get in a more comfortable position, her opposite arm stopped short painfully against a leather cuff strapped and locked tightly around her wrist bone. She felt a moment of panic as she opened her eyes to see where she was. It was a dark room, no windows, dim emergency lights along the walls were the only source of light in the concrete space. She hurt all over, her arm that wasn't chained to the wall was roughly splinted, wrapped, and ached terribly. She was worried it was broken. She started to hyperventilate as panic seeped into her, before she felt Alexander through their bond. How his heart had filled with joy when she had woken up. She sought her connection to him immediately for reassurance.

Alexander was on the way to her already, because he could feel her, he could find her. She

    Alexander felt the moment Melody started to wake up. She was groggy, confused, and she was in pain. He was doing his best to focus on Alec as instructions were given for the rescue mission. He felt as Melody started to panic, a rushing whirlwind of emotions tore through the bond. It broke his already shattered heart even more. He interrupted to let Alec know Melody was conscious again, before reverting back inside his own head to focus on Melody. He felt as her panic started to ebb away, and then he felt a flood of calm come through to him.She was trying to keep him calm, she had been hurt and kidnapped and she was trying to help him. She was too good, he didn't deserve a mate as perfect as Melody. If anything happened to her he wouldn't be able to live with himself. It would kill him if he lost her."Ok Everyone! You have your orders. Alexander rides with me, we need the bond to find her. Any questions?" Alec barked out loudly at the gathering of enforcers. Everyone responded no Alp

    Alexander was frantic leading a team of elites in search of Melody while Alec cleared the compound. The sound of fighting, gunfire, and explosions rang through the air. Alexander was focused on only one thing. Finding Melody. Her feelings had been all over the place, and then something had happened. She wasn't asleep, she wasn't unconscious, but something was deeply, deeply wrong with his mate.He could smell her in this hallway, they were close. He kept moving forward as the men behind him smashed open locked doors checking inside for prisoners. Alexander was honed in on his target. He stopped in front of a solid metal door. There were different styled locks holding it closed, two appeared to be made from silver. The other doors had much more simple locks holding them shut. He knew she was behind this one, and he wasn't strong enough to open this one alone.He called for help, the locks pried apart by the dragon shifter Alec had somehow summoned on short notice. The door fell forward

    Alexander was awoken by a summons from the Alpha. His uncle was waking him up with a command he was unable to ignore. The moment he came fully awake, there was a soft knock on the door. Alexander, got up from bed, noth bothering to check the time, or put on more clothes. When he opened the door. Guillermo was outside. "I'm here to guard Melody while you are out." Guillermo looked almost sad. Which scared Alexander more than he wanted to admit.He strode out in his boxers towards the call he was bound to obey towards Alec's office. The older wolf sat behind his desk, tired eyes unflinching at his nephew's state of dress as he indicated for him to sit down in a chair. "Alexander, we have a lot to discuss."Alec laid out all the intelligence that was collected during Melody's rescue. The hyena's were back, seeking revenge and to rebuild their numbers using mates of alphas to improve their bloodlines. Kidnapping mates before they are marked. Melody was taken to be a brood mare to some hye

    Melody and Alexander spent three eventless days holed up in her room. Friends brought them food, drinks and snacks as needed. Alexander insisted on cutting all Melody's food into small bites, not even willing to risk her choking on her food until he was certain she wouldn't be a vampire if the unthinkable happened.It was kind of nice, curled up with each other under blankets, watching each other's favorite movies back to back. Getting a chance to naturally talk about their pasts, likes, dislikes. Everything possible came up as conversation during those first 18 hours after Melody woke up. Still wrapped in Alexander's arms. They were unable to stop talking to each other as their love for each other grew even deeper.Melody used the time watching movies and talking about her past with Alexander to put herself back together. Her arm was already feeling like it was healed, and all her other injuries were gone when she woke up. She kept telling herself that she was safe, mostly unharmed,

    Three days practically to the hour after Alexander and Melody's self imposed quarantine ended, they were ready to leave. They had emotional goodbyes with Alexander's friends and cousins. Melody felt especially sad to leave the place that had welcomed her when she needed their support, but she was starting to understand the complex hidden shifter society. Alexander and her staying here, put his uncle, his family and this entire pack at risk for something none of them had any part. It wasn't fair, but Melody was already very well versed in how unfair life could be. Thankfully, Melody's arm had healed completely thanks to the vampire blood she had been forced to drink, so the pack doctor was able to cut the cast off before they hit the road.Once again, it didn't take Melody long to pack up her life, Alexander only had some clothes, books, and a very battered looking guitar. Their entire lives easily fit in his jeep, with room to spare. Melody didn't tell her family she was leaving town.

    Alexander held her close during the afterglow. Before helping to get her dressed quickly. "Sorry, I know it was chilly in here." He said sheepishly. He needed the space to worship her perfectly."A little chill was worth that." She told him, a big satisfied smile on her face as they walked back to the jeep. "How did you know about this place?""My family used to stop here on our way to visit with Alec's. But that was a long time ago, the community nearby was built around the saw mill, when that closed the whole town pretty much dried up with it.""It's a beautiful park, it's a shame it's just left alone like this, for kids to vandalize."Alexander shrugged,"I know, I had a lot of fun here when I was young." They were back in the jeep, the blanket safe on the backseat. Melody was enjoying the heater blowing hot air on her, and seat heater warming her behind."You still haven't told me about your parents..." She watched as he tensed up. She put her hand on his thigh, "She can't be worse

    "Mrs. MacDonald, where are we going?" Melody asked after losing count of the turns, twists, and stairs they had traveled. Each step taking her further away from her heart. She could close her eyes and turn her head and know she was facing him. It was nice to have the connection no matter what. He gave her strength."None of that dear, We're family. Call me Diana." Once again Melody was struck by how stupid attractive all supernaturals were. Alexander's mom hardly looked old enough to have a son nearly 20, let alone four daughters older than he was. Her ebony hair was cut in a severe pixie, leaving her bright blue eyes that were twins with Alexander's fully exposed as they took everything around in. "Now come along, we need to pick a dress first, set the tone before we pick flowers and other decor for Sunday."Melody nodded, seemingly rendered mute. She was going to have the closest thing to a wedding she would have, in two days. She was going to be sealing herself to Alexander publicl

    Melody was anxious, she had barely seen Alexander since they arrived. She kept getting dragged away for more ceremony plans, and Alexander was working hard with the security team trying to pinpoint where the Hyena's were hiding. There was numerous cases of unclaimed mates going missing, some assumed they just changed their minds and left on their own. But after what Melody had been through, she and Alexander knew better. There were too many cases, too many heartbroken Alpha's all across the country. It was going to take weeks to sort through all the information.She had one highlight yesterday, Guillermo had arrived with a gift for her in the back of his van. He was escorted to the room where Melody and Diana were discussing flowers by the guard who had stopped him at the border of the pack lands."I know how much you liked your bike, I fixed it." He had said without any preamble before a younger wolf wheeled Melody's restored bike up to her. Her eyes watered, the last time she had se

    Josephine and the elite teams did exactly what they had set out to do. They had moved so efficiently that they had knocked out most of the command structure entirely before the hyenas had a chance to even sound an alarm to warn the others that their doom was coming.Any who did not actively fight, were given the choice to end their days there and now or move semi willingly to an enclave Josephine had been working on for far longer than Alexander had realized. To Josephine, Melody was just another target, one of far too many in a larger pattern. One that Josephine had been working to end on her own long before Melody had even been born.Alexander was in awe as Guillermo filled him in on the progress during a rather social seeming jog several weeks after the incident; which was all Alexander could bring himself to say about it all. Still working on it with his therapist. But things were going better. He was focusing on being a dad, and decided to take up carpentry. If he was going to li

    Melody drove up to the familiar house, the smell of burnt clutch heavy in the cabin of the vehicle. Melody didn't know how to drive a manual, let alone an old truck with a heavy gear shift and broken power steering. Thankfully it didn't matter. The truck just had to get her here. Looking all normal, and human and alone. If the truck had to stay behind because Melody had wrecked the transmission on the relatively short easy drive over, no harm done. Flint would carry her to Alec's pack lands and virtual sanctuary until they could arrange to get back to their own home.The home looked significantly worse than she was prepared for. The picket fence she had admired that first day hadn't been painted in a while when she had left, and hadn't been touched since. Many boards were missing or broken. Beverly must have hated it, she had been a realtor and she was good at it. At making homes look good enough that people wanted to live in the warm homey environments she created. Looks were often d

    "You don't have to do this yourself, Guillermo and I can take care of it.." Alexander pleaded with Melody. That evening as she insisted on preparing everything to travel across the country to execute Frank. Throwing random clothes into a suitcase while she stomped around the room on feet far too heavy for someone of her size."Yes I do!" she was nearing hissing at him as she insisted strongly. She paused, packing the suitcases, "I need to do this, he hurt my whole family Alexander. He needs to pay for it. I need him to pay for it. To know he brought his end on himself, I want him to know." Her words were so heavy with with such a finality to them, that Alexander, never able to really say no to her finally gave in. She could come on the mission, only if the shrink and doctor cleared her first. After this afternoon's panic attack, and early pregnancy he was sure she wouldn't get the clearance from the doctor. She's pregnant, no doctor would let her go out to murder their step father.He

    Alexander and Melody spent their time with their kids and Diana. Letting Alexander's mother take care of everything while Melody and Alexander played on the floor with their kids, ate snacks, and just enjoyed the peace of their family. Raven was stomping around in her room out back, apparently a nap was not coming easily. "I guess it's not all she hoped it would be?" Alexander ventured softly while James was cuddling in his lap, almost asleep with a picture book in his hands."She has wanted this all her life, maybe dropping a vampire sighting on her this early wasn't the best idea." Diana said, softly, her voice like a lullaby as James drifted off to sleep. Melody was just returning from putting Ansley down for a nap, and smiled at seeing James limp in his fathers arms. She came over, gently and carefully picking the little boy up who snuggled into his mother's body as she picked him up, and took him to have a nap as well. Giving Alexander some time alone with his mom."Alpha doesn'

    The next morning it was confirmed by Guillermo that Frank and Robert had almost certainly had something to do with Beverly's murder. Randy was only innocent of this particular crime because he was already in prison for a statutory rape charge. A combination of wire transfers from offshore accounts, messages on burner phones, and finally a time line established when Guillermo searched recent security and surveillance cameras around the small town where Melody and Alexander had met. Trying to figure out what had happened and when.Beverly was a woman who liked routine he learned, and even though she couldn't find a job after she had been laid off, had tried to keep busy. She volunteered, working at the animal shelter some days, food bank on others. Spent an hour or so in the town library applying for jobs before hitting the grocery store before heading home to cook for her family. She didn't seem to interact much with anyone in the town. She hadn't carried a cell phone in over a year be

    The first couple photographs showed three women, roughly Melody's age, nothing else in common between them. They were all of different heritage, but all were very dead, by the similar ragged horizontal slash across their throats. No metal blade had opened their throats, that was the mark of a clawed hand. Then there had been two men, Melody didn't know them, but her heart filled with sadness as she realized these were all probably the dead mates to alphas. Who in turn according to Alexander research, never knew their mates were taken and murdered, instead thought they had been rejected. That each of these people had been stolen and their lives ended, causing echos of heartbreak for so many people, filled Melody with guilt that twice she had been taken, and twice she escaped mostly unharmed. She didn't know why she was ok in her home now, and these people weren't.Alexander was just finishing up with Guillermo, his own worry at a new level with the news from his head of security. He dr

    This was how his life should have been. Raven would be unbearable if she ever learned that she really had been right all along. She was born for this, Alexander wasn't. He didn't feel any guilt at all now. As he laid Melody in a rocking chair so he could run a bath for her, he checked on his mother as she did the same for Ansley.James was staying with Robin and her family tonight. James adored his older cousins, and seeing how other people lived their everyday lives. He was a nosey kid, Alexander hoped he didn't drive his very controlled sister insane overnight. James was more in tune with his grandmother or Lark. Almost like Robin could feel his worry, Alexander's phone buzzed with a notification, he checked and saw a video of a wide grinning James holding a Mario Kart Steering wheel in his small hands, his face aglow with joy as he tried to play with his older cousins, who were laughing at his eager attempts to widely steer around the course. The sound of generations, and blended f

    Melody awoke with the most unwelcome deja vu. The particular heavy and slow feeling of waking up after having been knocked unconscious. Judging by the rhythmic pounding and pain radiating from the back of her head, it had been physical this time instead of chemical. She didn't know if that was better or worse, she still felt sick and nauseated, and the headache was worse, but her body didn't feel as clumsy.The overwhelming wrong feeling had diminished, but things were certainly not right. But at least she was able to think now. She looked around, lovely another cement room from floor to ceiling, a single caged in bulb in the ceiling for light, and a clean, if uncomfortable pallet underneath her. Things smelled clean, which at least wasn't offensive and an improvement on the first kidnapping. Melody wasn't scared this time, she was boiling under the surface like a secret lake of lava.Yup, she had been kidnapped again. Ansley! Where was her daughter? Who had taken her. Melody knew she

    The next week was perfect, better than ever before. Alexander was scheduled to see his counsellor at least twice a week, he was getting Raven up to speed on current pack issues and general local politics. He felt lighter. Like himself in a way he had missed without even realising he had been missing something at all.Melody's days were a little more boring. Delia had texted her on schedule all through the weekend through until Sunday night. Then she had called to let Melody know she was taking a week off school and going on vacation with the man she had gone home with on Friday night; and was still with. Melody had worried about her friend, but after talking on the phone, Delia was safe, and happy, and excited. So Melody wished her friend well. Maybe the dark tall brooding man Delia was with was a shifter too, and Delia was his mate. Melody gnawed on her lower lip wondering how she would even try to ask her friend if that was the case, without letting too much slip if Delia wasn't in
