Alpha Dominick’s POV I was happy she wasn’t reading the new contract, I removed the professional clause, I will have no more barriers between us, if I want my mate, I will need to pursue her as much as possible while she is here. I held by the old clause and only had one chance outside of the compound and thanks to Charles and Elaine it failed. I wasn’t expecting Claudia to show up in my office to meet Melody, but I was amused by Melody’s reaction to her. I caught the spark of jealousy in her eye when Claudia touched me, normally I would move away or swat at her, but not when it got a rise out of Melody. I do affect her, and I know now I stand a shot at winning her over. I was taken back when Claudia mentioned Tommy and accused Melody of breaking his heart and walking away without a goodbye. I saw Melody’s reaction and wanted to snarl at Claudia, but before I could, Melody stood, “if there’s nothing else, I need to get back to Caspian,” she turned and walked out, leaving the doo
Melody’s POV I slept in after crying half the night, my mind swirling with thoughts of Dominick and how gentle and caring he was with me as I sat on his lap crying like I child. I thought about what Elaine said, and I am scared, petrified of being hurt, I don’t deny that. I thought of what Caspian said, when he thought, I had went to my room, how I really wasn’t living life because without love in your life are you truly living. I looked in the mirror as I brushed my teeth, today I will allow myself to feel, to embrace what Alpha Dominick wants to give me, today I will start new and fresh and if he wants to try this bond with me, then I need to risk it, risk my heart and swallow the fear that is slowly killing me. Forget the past and live for a future with hope and love, something I thought I would never need or want again, but it seems I truly do.I greeted Caspian in the kitchen and told him over coffee that today I would try with Alpha Dominick this mate bond thing. I don’t t
Alpha Dominick’s POV To say I’m over the moon in love with my mate is exactly how I feel today, it’s been a month of nothing but bliss since she opened herself up to the idea of our bond. I’ve never looked forward to each and every day as much as I do now. My mornings start as usual, training with Gamma Ashton and the warrior’s, but instead of breakfast with Claudia, Tommy and Clair, I sit in Papa’s kitchen and eat with my Luna and him. She doesn’t like it when I call her my Luna, but at least she has stopped protesting it when Clair or anyone else does. She’s gotten use to Beta Collin being around her and Papa, he had to explain that it is part of his job to watch out for her safety and to ensure she has everything that she needs or wants. She chuckled at that, “My Alpha gives me what I need and want so exactly what is it you think you can offer,” she wiggled her brows at him.I chuckled as he went beet red and stammered for an answer, it took me 30 minutes to defuse him, she ha
Melody’s POV It was already dark when we returned, it’s not unusual for this time of year, it was only 6pm, but all the lights were out in the house, we walked in and I went to Caspians room immediately to check on him, the small light next to his bed was on and the closet door was open I heard a whimper and ran to the closet. “Caspian what are you doing?”He yelled, “GET OUT, YOU THIEF.”Dominick was right behind me, and he moved me to the side, “Papa, come on,” he held out his hand, “get up off the floor.”He got him out of the closet and Caspian had the black box in his hands, “IT’S GONE,” he yelled. He threw the box, and the letters spilled out, I rushed over and picked them up and only counted 3, I looked at them and realized that Dominick’s was missing.I put them inside the box and placed it on the dresser, helping Caspian into bed, “we’ll find it, it has to be here somewhere.” His hand reached for my face, and he patted my cheek, “Okay, you find it for me.”He laid down an
Alpha Dominick’s POV I walked into my Papa’s house and I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, she had the entire house decorated with a jolly fat man as the main attraction, I understand she’s human and it is her belief that Christmas is a celebratory time, but she’s the Luna of a werewolf pack and we don’t do this shit. I didn’t say a word, when during the harvest moon festival, she cooked turkeys and baked pies, but this is over the top.She walked out of Papa’s room, wiping away tears as she tried to smile at me, “he’s not doing good today, he’s bad, really bad you may want to have all of your siblings come here, see him and talk to him, while the sun is still out and he is simi coherent.”I bit my bottom lip and shook my head and mind linked them, I wasn’t surprised when Clair ran in the house, breathing heavily and sat next to him on his bed, then she laid down next to him and put her arms around him, “I’m here with you Papa, I won’t let you go alone.”I asked Mel to stay in the
Melody’s POVI felt more than sad over Caspian’s passing but knew I had done everything I could to make him as comfortable as possible. I wasn’t surprised at the anger that flared from his family, it happens, people grieve in different ways. When Claudia pushed me up against the cupboard I felt fear, pure fear of what she could do to me, I am human after all, and she is a supernatural. I covered my throat on instinct and glared at her, “you’re upset, and I understand that, but I’ve done nothing to you.”She snarled in my face, “you’ve done nothing to deserve our brother either, but here you are.” I couldn’t understand what Alpha Dominick had to do with this, I’m confused and curious all at the same time. I looked into her eyes and became even more baffled, they didn’t turn black as the Alpha’s or Clair’s did when their wolves peeked out at me, hers were different but I couldn’t place it.Claire’s voice rang out screaming and before I could think, Alpha Dominick had removed them b
Alpha Dominick’s POVI lit the Pyre and took a step back as I began my speech, “Alpha Caspian was loved and honored by all that met him, he was a devoted Alpha, mate and father, he treated each of us as family. I, myself, will miss his guidance, his strength and his wisdom, he saw life as an experience, one that should be lived to its fullest and he honored that, he enjoyed every day, every person he came into contact with until his last breath.” I looked up at the sky, “may you find peace and look over us from your spot next to our goddess and your own,” I bowed my head as did the rest of the pack in silent prayer, once I was done I howled into the night and the pack followed. I stepped back and looked around, she still wasn’t here, and my heart sank, did she not feel I needed her, wanted her with me, had I not proven how much she meant to me that she would not be here. Elaine’s voice broke my thoughts, “where is Melody, she said she would be here.”I looked at her, “when did she
Alpha Dominick’s POV Her eyes went wide, “I was just checking on you Domino, making sure you were doing okay,” she looked me up and down, “where are you going? I thought we would all eat together tonight, you know as a family.”I shook my head, “Melody has been taken, we need to find her,” I stepped out of my room and past her.Her hand clutched my arm, “missing,” she laughed, “she’s probably back at her old ways Domino,” she rolled her eyes, “you know, just like you and Tommy, none of you have any morals when it comes to sex, she’s probably just having some fun, letting off steam.”I pulled my arm from her, “no, someone has taken her, she’s mine, she has no interest in any others, I’m sure of that.” I walked towards the stairs, and she followed, “that’s not what I heard, she was talking to someone on the phone just the other day, saying how Gamma Ashton would make a good catch,” she shrugged.I clenched my jaw and growled at her insinuation, “not true, I don’t know what you heard
Melody’s POVI walked into the family lounge and greeted Carla, “Hey, how’s our little nursery doing today?” I walked over and took Nicholas from her side as she was holding both pups and reading a book to a now sleeping Lucas.She smiled, “good,” she whispered as she lay him down and removed herself from the couch, she kissed his forehead and placed pillows around him so he wouldn’t roll of onto the floor. We sat down at the small table near the window as I nursed Nicholas.“I helped with the investigation today with your attorney, Levi.”I looked at her as I adjusted Nicholas’ position, “really, how so?”She pulled out her phone and showed me pictures that she had sent to him, “these are the original pictures of some of the photoshopped ones that they have as evidence against you,” she smiled smugly, “see and you laugh when I keep them after making prints.”I nodded, “thank you, it will help, but really if those police officers can’t tell a photoshopped photo from a real one,” I s
Alpha Dominick’s POV“What have your investigators found so far?”Levi chuckled, “Alpha, it’s only been a few days, but we do have a few leads, the pictures that they gave us copies of, Luna Melody is correct, they were photoshopped.” He shook his head, “Steve, was looking at them and bolted from our office and returned a couple of hours later with an original photo that Elaine had of her and Luna Melody, it’s identical to one that is on file, but instead of Elaine’s face next to the Luna’s its Cliffs, the date and time stamp is exact on it.”I sat back, “so how did he get it, if it was in Elaine’s possession?”He nodded, “I was thinking the same thing, Steve asked Elaine who took the photo, and she said Carla or Maria, one of them would have had too, since it’s of she and Melody.” I looked at him, “so all these photo’s could have been ones that any of her friends could have taken, did he see any others that may look familiar?”Levi shook his head, “no, but Elaine and Carla need to
Melody’s POV“One more push, come on Catherine, one good one,” I could see the crown and knew she needed just a good push, and her pup would be here. She bared down and the scream that left her throat was piercing, but it was worth it. I couldn’t help the smile on my face as I cradled the tiny girl in my hand as I suctioned her airway, and her cry wailed out. I lifted her unto Catherines’ chest and finished everything I needed to, before cleaning up the pup.I was a bit surprised when I opened the door and was greeted by Alpha Dominick holding our son, Beta Collin and Lucas who was hugging onto Dominick’s leg. “Looks like you’re little girl is already popular with the men of this pack Catherine,” I giggled.Catherine smiled as she watched them all walk inside, but what warmed my heart the most was Carla, “Lucas,” she called out, “come meet your baby sister, she’s adorable.”Lucas ran to his mother and crawled on top of her with excitement, I turned and smiled at Catherine, “her na
Alpha Dominick’s POVListening to Savannah I couldn’t stop wondering what exactly Claudia’s end game was, did she really think that I wouldn’t know the difference between her and Melody, even if she looked exactly like her, did she think giving me a potion would change what my heart already feels for my mate. I shook my head, “Savannah, is there such a thing as a love potion?”She chuckled, “there is a potion that will make one feel a pull towards another, but it never lasts longer than a few days and feeding someone it for more than a week, well it’s not recommended,” she giggled, “the side effects are the exact opposite of what the potion was intended to do.”“Did your high priestess explain that to Claudia?”She shook her head, “I don’t think so, she had her leave, escorted out of our coven territory.”Melody spoke, “Did you escort her out?”She nodded, “yes, I’m one of the guards of our coven.”Melody smiled at her, “you look too young to be a guard.”Savannah chuckled, “I’m much
Melody’s POVTraining went better than I expected after Dominick left, I’ve always been physically fit, went to the Gym and enjoyed it, but this is at a different level. Gamma Austin didn’t go easy on me either and my muscles hurt, and their screaming for relief at this point. It’s been 2 hours, and I just want to soak in a tub, Gamma Ashton smiles, “you did good Luna Melody, we’ll pick up from here tomorrow, now stretch out your muscles or you’ll cramp later.”I nodded my head and stretched, “you do this every day?”He chuckled, “several times a day, why?”I giggled, “you must be very limber then,” yea I just can’t stop it from flowing, “I’m sorry, I’m really not trying to flirt, it’s just my nature.”His cheeks blushed, “I know and so does the Alpha,” he threw his sweat towel over his shoulder, “can I be honest with you Luna?”I stopped stretching and looked at him, “of course Gamma Ashton.”He bent over to look me in the eye, “it doesn’t bother me that you flirt with me, it’s fun
Alpha Dominick’s POVShe shot me a look and growled, “Alpha Dominick enough already, go, go somewhere else allow Gamma Ashton to teach me properly,” she glared at me with her hands on her curvy hips.I shook my head, “not happening, I need to make sure his hands are where they need to be,” I stated flatly.Gamma Ashton walked over to me, “Alpha Dominick, I understand why you are acting this way, but believe me, I wouldn’t go there again, I didn’t know who she was back then, I am well aware of who my Luna is now and would never cross that line.”I heard her giggle and my eyes darted to her, as she sashayed over to us, she put her hands round my neck, “My Alpha,” she fluttered her lashes, “don’t you trust me to behave.”I growled, “I didn’t think you knew what that word meant pumpkin,” I kissed the tip of her nose.She giggled, “I do now, I’m here to train, to learn how to fight, to defend myself when my big badass Alpha isn’t around, so how can I learn if you’re here growling at my ins
Melody’s POV Sitting in the Alpha office listening to Levi and looking at the evidentiary packet that he received was daunting, but feeling Dominick’s emotions was something I hadn’t expected, he was livid with what he was looking at. I arched a brow to him, “what are you looking at Alpha?”He pushed a photo towards me, and I gasped as I looked at it, it was a picture of me with Cliff at the frozen pond, sitting next to each other, lacing up our skates. I shook my head, “this isn’t real, I told you both, he was only a neighbor, we spoke cordially at best.”Levi looked at his Alpha, “Alpha Dominick, I need to speak with Luna Melody in private, some things need to be only between she and I.”Dominick was infuriated, “No, whatever you need to talk about I should know, we have no secrets,” he looked at me with question marks in his eyes, “do we?”I shook my head, “of course not, go on Levi you can speak freely because I will.”Levi shook his head, “no, you don’t understand, this is hum
Alpha Dominick’s POVMy meeting with Beta Collin and Gamma Ashton was unexpectedly brief, I was making sure that security was tight tonight, not everyone will know that Melody has a wolf, only our inner circle, so the perimeter around the pack house needs to be secure for when she shifts. We were going over the plans when my dick hardened and pictures flashed in my mind of our first night together, where I worshiped ever inch of her. I sat back in my chair and closed my eyes, she needed to stop thinking about it or I was going to cum in my pants and in front of my Beta and Gamma. I heard chuckles and the door shut, my eyes snapped open and I was alone, they left knowing what was happening, I mind linked her, “Luna you need to stop thinking about that right now, you’re making me hard and ready to explode.”I heard her giggle but that was all I heard, when a soft knock hit my door. I adjusted myself and called out, “Enter.”The door opened and her scent hit me full force arousal and
Melody’s POV I shook my head, “yes, I still want you to mark me, change me into a shifter, I want to feel free like Axel and he deserves a mate that he can have as well, don’t you pretty boy.”I had no idea what I had just done, Dominck’s smile was so wide and his canines grew, his eyes were pure obsidian as he pushed me backwards and hovered over me, his voice a mixture of his own and Axels, “you’re mine forever pumpkin,” he lowered his head and I moved mine to the side, giving him complete access to my neck.A shiver ran down my spine as he licked and then sucked on the spot that drove me insane with pleasure, my core was throbbing and then pain struck as his teeth sunk into my neck. I whimpered, but then warmth flowed through my body and my heart thundered in my chest as it overflowed with love and admiration, sparks ignited along my neck and spread all over my body and the most sultry moan left my lips as white light exploded behind my closed eyelids and then darkness took over.
