Hello my beautiful readers! To my surprise, I got another chapter out! Lol. Hopefully, I will be back on schedule when I update on Friday. How do you like this story so far? Are you nervous for them to meet? Also, do any of you have chapter title recommendations? XOXO.
*Melody’s POV* ~A few days later~ I was back in the garden, struggling to find my stepbrother when the rogue jumped in front of me. Why were the alarms not sounding? There was no way that the rogues would get this far without the alarms going off. Most higher ranks had been gone looking for Landon, but that shouldn’t make a difference. Our pack was quite advanced and didn’t need the alpha and beta present to prevent or stop rogue invasions. I was about to shift when I felt the handkerchief cover my mouth. The grip around me was impossibly hard, making me focus all my strength and attention on getting out of the hold. It couldn’t be a rogue though? Since when are rogues so organized? Why isn’t Theodore helping me? He was just calling me to come out. When I finally lost my battle, I felt myself slip into strong arms. I didn’t recognize the scent, only that it was a male and not a rogue or from this pack. “She’s perfect. You will have the money in the account within the hour.” He t
*TRIGGER WARNING* *Melody’s POV* I fidgeted as I waited for the boss asšhole to show up. What the hell did he even want with me anyway? I was being good. I wasn’t getting into any trouble just so I wouldn’t have to see him again. I felt sweat trickle down my neck as my body heated further. I was hoping to feel better by now, but I felt worse by the second. I just had to fake it until I made it, because there was no way in hell that I would let them kill me. I had to live for Bianca and for Vanessa. I looked at my red see-through bodice that I was wearing and shivered. I felt exposed and I didn’t want to imagine how many men were going to see me like this later tonight. I stood up abruptly and began pacing the space that I had become familiar with as I hugged my body with my now extremely thin arms. I was nervous, to say the least. Well, nervous was really an understatement. Goddess, I wish I could talk to my wolf. I was going crazy without her. I can comprehend now why people w
*Melody’s POV* I swallowed as I looked into the mirror. I barely had any clothes on. The red lingerie that they had provided me with left nothing to the imagination. My pink nīpples were clearly visible through the sheer material, as if I didn’t feel dirty enough already. The door suddenly opened as my usual guard came to grab me. “Looking good, Red.” He murmured in my ear before throwing me a wink, earning a growl in annoyance in return. He took a big whiff of the air, which only made his eyes flash darker. “But you smell even better.” He growled lowly, taking several steps back and turning away from me. I gritted my teeth before following him out of the room. We quickly met with the other girls and guards, who were waiting in a long dark hallway. We were all escorted towards some dirty concrete stairs and immediately descended them. It was clear that we were underground from the change of temperature. Vanessa reached for my hand and gently squeezed it. “It’ll be okay.” She whisp
*Axel’s POV* My wolf’s ears perked up as his pacing intensified. I lifted the glass to my lips, needing to put Dash at ease somehow. The liquid in my cup was seconds from touching my lips when an intoxicating scent hit me like a fūcking train, almost driving me as mad as my wolf. “What the fūck?” I whispered under my breath, making Gael stiffen while remaining quiet at my side. He was ready to attack at my command, not knowing that my comment had nothing to do with being under attack—yet. “Don’t be shy, 720,” the man on the stage teased, making my hand shake gently as I lowered my whiskey back to the table, since I was seconds from losing my shīt. I couldn’t let my slip up show though. “Please tell me it’s not what I think it is,” I growled lowly at Dash as he clawed at his head desperately. I ran my fingers through my hair as my heart pounded against my chest. Dash didn’t answer, since he was still on edge, not knowing what the hell was going on, but the scent driving him in
*Axel’s POV* “One point two million,” someone a few feet away from me declared calmly, making me see fūcking red. My eyes shifted towards the asšhole as the table snapped under the pressure of my hands. “One point two—going once, going twice—” “One point five million,” I was getting ready to tear the fūcking place up when I felt a tight grip on my shoulder, forcing me to turn to it in confusion. Gael shook his head, reminding me why we were here, but I just couldn’t let any of these creeps anywhere near my mate. “One point eight million,” I muttered through gritted teeth before taking my seat again, hoping to seem relaxed, so that they wouldn’t push on. My mate straightened up and turned around to us again. Every eye in the room was on her, salivating at her delicious scent, but her eyes were on me. Could she feel the bond? My jaw relaxed a little as I looked around, confirming that no one was betting higher. I have a premade check, so I don’t know how the hell I’m going t
*POTENTIAL TRIGGER* *Axel’s POV* “My apologies for the wait, Alpha Carter,” the man stated as he closed the door behind him before making his way back to the desk. I just nodded my response, unable to get a word out as I watched him casually unbutton his suit jacket before taking a seat. He looked up at me as he licked his lips nervously. “Mr. Lawrence would like to accommodate you with this little situation we discussed.” I almost sighed in relief when he suddenly cleared his throat as he tapped the contracts against the desk, straightening the papers some more. “So he’s offering you two options,” he informed me as he kept his eyes lowered towards the papers. “Which are?” I practically growled while wrapping my hands around the top of the armrest to hold myself back. I was good at self-control. I was trained for this. What the fūck was wrong with me? “Option one is that you take 720’s virginity here in one of our rooms,” he informed me, making me take a deep breath because
*POTENTIAL TRIGGER* *Axel’s POV* I’ve trained for all sorts of situations all my life, and when I joined the military that training intensified. Self-control was my biggest pride. But never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d lose all of it because of one she-wolf. One that I didn’t even want, and this is exactly why. I can’t let someone have so much power over me. Never. A soft whimper pulled me out of my mind and into the present. I had pushed two fingers into her tight hole after making her come, forcing her to grip the bed sheets tightly. “Goddess,” she cried out as she clenched around my fingers, making me groan. I don’t know what I was thinking when I chose her over the mission. Nor what I’m thinking now. I can’t possibly make her mine and refuse to make her my mate later. I’m a bastard, but even I think that’s fūcked up. But as much as I wanted to stop, I was hypnotized by her. By her soft flesh which tingled every time I touched her. By her soft cries, begging me for m
*Melody’s POV* My heart stilled as I looked towards the door. He was returning me. I knew I shouldn’t have trusted him. Goddess, why did I have to enjoy his presence and touch so much? And then, losing my virginity with him… it really messed with my head. My buyer froze in front of me before I felt his eyes boring into my skin, making me turn. “They’re here for me, aren’t they?” I managed to ask with a steady voice. He didn’t bother answering as he undid his shirt’s buttons once more. As soon as he finished, he removed it from his body and handed it to me. “Put it on,” he muttered, his jaw ticking before he turned to the door. I quickly pushed each arm through the huge sleeves before wrapping my arms across my chest and tucking my knees underneath them. I swear, the shirt could fit at least three of me. He was just so big… I shook my head before turning towards the gorgeous man as he leaned his head against the door, his hand frozen over the handle. A shiver ran down my spine
