When they had finished their meagre meal they had to scrub down the whole kitchen until it gleamed before the wife sent them to their room. She told them to go straight to bed, talking was forbidden and if they left the room after lights out they would be severely beaten by her. The days always followed the same pattern, the girls were forced to scrub and clean, for hour after hour, hard physical work. They had no ‘modern’ appliances, why should the couple spend good money on such things when they had these girls to do everything for them? Washing was done by hand in the bathtub, sweeping involved a large heavy bristle brush, floors were scrubbed by hand and the woman was very strict. She would march around with a long cane in her hand and use it freely, if she found a speck of dust or a smear of dirt the luckless girl would not be unable to sit down that night. There was no kindness in the elderly woman, she loved to make them suffer by doing the most disgusting tasks. The worst jobs
The room was full of bric-a-brac and old newspapers, the couple collected them and sold them to people as animal bedding. It was another tedious task they made the girls do, forcing them to spend hours cutting the papers into neat strips to be bundled together. The old woman would carefully measure each bundle and if they got any wrong she would beat them with the ruler she used to measure with. Everything in the room was old and worn, it was a tinder box, she grimaced as the old man banged again sending dust and plaster floating to the floor. He was shouting and yelling that he was uncomfortable and Melody must come at once to relieve him, she knew what that incurred. He would have kicked off his bedding so his naked bottom half was on show and she would be expected to cover him up and plump his pillows. His hands would be all over her body and she was not allowed to make a sound, any protest meant more humiliation. She shuddered as she thought of the numerous spankings she had endure
She demanded on the verge of running away with her charges, her heart was pounding so hard that she pushed the girls away from the strangers and one of the younger girls stumbled. Caught off guard Melody reacted quickly and grabbed her as she fell and at the same time the women moving just as quickly reached for the young girl too and their hands touched briefly. The woman’s fingers touched her skin and she felt a wonderful sense of warmth and peace jolt through her as she snatched her hand away. Instinctively she knew the couple could be trusted, the voice in her head told her these people were friends and everything would be alright if she went with them. She sneered at the voice angrily, 'You've changed your tune, you told me to be wary.' The voice answered immediately,
She stretched and then slipped out of the warm comfy bed to head down and see what was going on. The girls were sat at the table strewn with more food than any of them had ever seen and they were talking animatedly to the couple. Melody was shocked to hear them pouring out the abuse they had all suffered and she sat down quickly, 'That's enough, what happened back there is not a subject to be discussed in this way.' Her voice came out sharper than she had intended and the girls looked chastened lapsing into silence they looked down at their plates and she felt guilty, 'That wasn't fair Melody.' The woman said softly, 'It is far better for them to get this out in the open so it can be addressed don't you agree?'
Loki was well over six feet tall with shoulder length deep chestnut coloured hair and emerald green eyes. He was muscled and toned, a true Alpha Wolf. Females fell willingly into his bed and males worshipped him as their Leader. He was incredibly good looking and his heart was pure, he was kind and generous to his Pack but he was also ruthless and powerful when it came to protecting what was his. Now he sniffed the air and drew in Melody’s scent it was fresh and new like the forest after the rain and full of citrussy undertones that drove his Wolf wild with desire. Melody was pure and very beautiful and everything he wanted in his future Luna he had been watching her over the last few days and now he was impatient to claim her . Melody did not know it, hell, she did not even know she was a Wolf, but much more importantly she was his Fated Mate and he had felt the attraction the minute he set eyes on her.‘Bring her to me when she wakes’He commanded and the couple nodded,‘As you wish
‘We’re sorry we did not wake you but we thought it was best done with as little fuss as possible. Those poor young girls have been through so much and we wanted everything to be low key so they would not be upset.’They said nothing of the girls memory being wiped of everything related to her and the abuse they had suffered, That was for Loki to explain if he chose to do so but she would eventually figure it out when she joined the Pack properly anyway. Melody was silent for a while her head bowed and a single tear slipped down her cheek,‘I would have liked to say goodbye to them.’She whispered very hurt that none of the girls had insisted on seeing her before they left she had looked after them for the past four years and thought of them as her younger sisters, often putting herself in danger from the elderly man to protect them. It seemed heartless and cruel that they had left without the slightest effort to say goodbye to her, she felt used and disappointed and the tears trickled
She knew it as she stepped back her guard instantly going up and her eyes darkened and to her surprise Cerridwen leapt forward eagerly, but she held her back. Loki watched her beautiful eyes change to molten gold and saw her Wolf ready to pounce he let Cronus come forward and Cerridwen snarled ready to defend her human from him and letting him know they were both on their guard. ‘Come here’He commanded but she stepped back again defensively,‘You would do well to obey me little Wolf I am your Alpha now and as part of my Pack you will swear obedience to me’He sensed she was about to run and in a swift movement he caught her wrist and pulled her tightly against him she struggled but he was far stronger than her. Then he did what he had wanted to do since the moment he had set eyes on her, he bent his head to hers and kissed her. She did not stop resisting him struggling hard against him trying to free herself from his arms her hands went up to his chest trying to push him off her but
He moved back to her lips but this time she pushed him away terrified and she shuddered her body going into shock and he pulled away quickly angry with himself as she jumped off the desk and fled out of the door. He groaned and Cronus growled demanding he chased after his mate, but he knew that would only scare her more so he contacted Kelly through the Pack mind-link, 'Go after her Kelly.' He ordered and headed for his shower he needed to relieve the ache in his groin and that was all he had right now because what he wanted had run away from him. Kelly caught up with sobbing girl and she touched her arm gently, 'Hey, hey hold up, things aren't that bad surely?' Melody stopped her headlong flight and she collapsed into the other woman's arms, 'I can't, I can't, it's to much.'
It was the only solution they both recognised and they walked on in silence, reaching the Pack House, Othello greeted them with delight, 'Thank goodness you are both okay and how is my favourite little boy?' He tickled Jon-Luc and took him off Loki, the little boy shrieked in pleasure throwing his arms around the Beta and kissing him enthusiastically. Melody watched her son bestowing his love without fear or favour and she felt a stab of grief she was such a bad person coming between an Alpha and his Beta. She knew the bond between them was strong, they had known each other since they had started school together but he had been willing to sacrifice that bond for her. Othello set the little boy on his feet and watched him run into the arms of his Daddy, 'I, I, owe you an apology.'
His little voice tore at Melody’s heart and she shifted back into her human form not caring she would be naked in front of all of them, Phoenix also shifted back in a flash and his arousal was now very evident. He approached her his intention evident in every stride and slowly, deliberately she lifted both her hands pointing them at Phoenix, carefully she spoke to her son,‘Close your eyes, baby boy;’She whispered as he curled beside his stricken father cuddling into his side and burying his little head under his arm instinctively as if he knew what was going to happen. Melody was finally accepting what was inside her, becoming the Golden Wolf, glittering so brightly in the light from the windows she seemed to become one with it. The room was charged with her power as she channelled the energy inside her and then it was a living thing exploding from her fingertips it flew across the room incinerating Phoenix and his throne and then expanding outwards to incinerate every guard. Her how
They rushed towards her determined to restrain her again and without moving a muscle she glowed brilliantly as she generated her power towards them flinging them against the walls so hard their necks snapped with a loud crack killing them instantly. She was tired of being the plaything of these males so without a backward glance she made her way out of the dungeon and followed her nose, it wasn’t difficult to locate Phoenix. He was sat on a huge throne in the main hall with a handful of his guards standing behind him while in front of him was Loki chained and held on his knees by two of the guards a gun held to his head. Her sharp intake of breath made him look up at her and as she glanced around she saw that on Phenix's knee was her precious golden son, Jon-Luc‘Well, well nice of you to join us, Golden Wolf. Just in time to see me dispose of this unwanted piece of trash.’He drawled holding the frightened child up by his legs but Jon-Luc remained silent, already, young as he was, he
Melody did the bare minimum of what was expected of her as her body healed quickly from birth she returned to training and patrolling the same day, The Pack was surprised Loki allowed it but in truth, he had no choice, Kelly had warned him if he tried to force Melody to be a ‘Mother’ it would almost certainly break the tenuous bond she had with both him and their son forever.She was out on patrol a couple of months later sitting on a huge boulder high up in the mountains surveying the Pack lands below her looking for anything unusual. The other members of her patrol were spread out nearby, all of them doing the same thing watching and protecting their Land. It was quiet and Melody signalled for the patrol to stand down for a short break resting her head on her paws she closed her eyes briefly with a sigh,‘I’ll be fully mature soon.’She thought and a wave of sadness engulfed her, no-one had mentioned it, but then they had all completely forgotten her previous birthday and she wasn’t
Melody yawned and stretched like a cat, making her firm pert breasts push up against her bra and his cock hardened at the sight and he could not resist bending his head and taking one of the dark pink nipples into his mouth and sucking it hard. She gasped with pleasure when his fingers pushed the lace of her bra out of the way and tugged the other nipple until it became erect and hard under his touch. 'Loki, no.' She pushed at his chest ineffectively because he held her down and let his claws loose slitting the bra strap and tugging it from her body his eyes feasting on her enlarged breasts. He forgot she had said no and cupped them rubbing his thumbs over the hard erect nipples before sucking them hard. 'Loki'
So he kept his word when she woke up he told her she was not to train or go on patrol with his Warriors but apart from that he would not place any other restrictions on her. The Elders had wanted her to be restricted to the lightest of duties, visiting other females with newborns or still pregnant to help her understand her role and accept it but he knew she would not have tolerated that so he had used his Alpha powers to stop them. They resented his interference and set out to restrict Melody in any way they could and she was furious with them. It came to a head when she was out running with one of the young She-Wolves she had befriended to take the place of Kelly. Melody refused to have anything to do with the Healer, cutting her dead when she tried to explain why she had gone to the Alpha, she had not spoken to her since and refused to entertain her having anything to do with the birth of her pup. Loki tried to be a peacemaker inviting the couple for dinner but when he arrived home
‘Melody?’The voice was soft but commanding and she turned towards it. Sat in the chair next to her bed was the most gorgeous man she had ever seen, his emerald green eyes looked at her with such love and compassion it scared her. Blinking away the tears that filled her eyes she backed away from him‘Who, who are you?’She stammered gripping the sheets her eyes wild with fear. The Consultant came into the room at that moment,‘Luna you are awake, welcome back my dear’Melody screamed she was surrounded by strangers and she struggled crazily when they tried to help her,‘Let me go, let me go. Who are you people? Please let me go?’They had no choice but to sedate her again and she sank back against her pillows looking into those beautiful green eyes they were full of pain and hurt making her gasp softly was she the cause of it? Sleep claimed her again and Loki paced the Consultants office,‘What the fuck was that all about?’He demanded,‘What’s going on? Why doesn’t she know us?’Th
He was reasoning with himself, his instincts were to find her and lock her up, forcing her to rest and think about the Pup but he had a feeling such actions would destroy her.Getting up he made his way out into the arena, Melody’s laughter hit him immediately she was sparring with Tareq his best trainer and he felt himself go cold as he saw them squaring up to each other. Tareq would not go easy on his Luna and before he could think straight his protective instinct took over and he went into full-blown Alpha,‘Stop!’His voice was so powerful every wolf stopped and bowed low responding to the command in his voice all except Melody who spun round and glared at him her eyes flashing,‘What is wrong with you?’She snapped and was stunned when he snarled at her‘Get in my office NOW!’His voice was cold, she stepped back and for the first time she was frightened of him turning she picked up her jacket and strode towards his office but when she reached the door she stopped as her heart ra
She replied honestly shuffling her feet, 'I don't want to give up my life, it's so not fair that they get to have all the fun but we are the ones left to pick up the pieces. Why should I give up everything I want to be while he can carry on as normal?' She cried and Kelly shook her head, 'We carry them inside us and give birth to them it is the most natural thing in the world for a She-Wolf to care for her pup once it is born, it is what we are put on this world to do, there is no greater gift than becoming a mother.' Melody had shocked Kelly further by losing her temper, 'Oh really? For fuck's sake Kelly this is the 21st century not the 15th, the world had moved on you know, females do
