All Chapters of The Reluctant Golden Wolf: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

She blinked and wiped the tears running down her cheeks with the back of her hand and looked like a small child, he saw her taking a deep breath and she looked away hanging her head in shame as slowly she told him. All of it, every sordid detail of the things they had made her do to protect the younger girls, they had always used that threat to make her do as they wanted. She had taken so much punishment for those three young girls and she had been no more than a child herself when the abuse began, the thought of her being sold to that Dominant so he could use her for his perverted pleasures made Loki furious. He wanted to kill the devious, sick elderly couple even though he knew they were already dead he wanted to dig them up and kill them again. 'How many young women had been sold by these perverts? How many had been let down by a system so overloaded these girls slipped through unnoticed? How many broken young women had been brutally raped and

Their mates meant nothing, they had already decided whichever one of them knotted inside her would discard their mate and pups and keep her for himself but as they were brothers they would both enjoy her body. She would have been their sex slave, they had already devised a room at the bank to keep her in, and she would have been kept cuffed and naked so they could use her whenever they wanted. They had not expected her to fight back when her Wolf took over, they had planned to rape her if she refused them, she was so innocent because Loki had not explained it all. When he came into the bedroom a couple of hours later Melody was not asleep she stiffened when he lay down beside her on the bed and pulled her close wrapping his big arms around her he stroked her back tenderly whispering against her ear, 'It's okay baby girl, it's okay, I am here and I will protect you always, you are safe now, I promise you.'

She was so young and had so much to learn about Pack life, when squabbles broke out if they shifted into their Wolves it terrified her and she would flee to her room trembling and angry that she had been put in this situation. Loki did not know how to help her, when he asked her to talk she snapped back that she had not asked for this and that if she had her way she would go back to being 'just a boring human.' Melody began to stay in their room longer and longer, refusing to engage with the members of his Pack if they came near her she would flinch away letting them know how much they scared her. She had trained with his Warriors and knew how to fight, she was a good fighter, the Trainers told him, she could more than hold her own so he did not understand why she refused to fight back if challenged. When he tried to help, encouraging her to use her training he was met with stubborn silence or outright insolence,‘I have nothing in common with these people, why can't they control them

He had one shot at this, if he got it wrong and she bit him her venom would kill him and his best Warriors stood by with syringe guns and orders to put her down if the worst thing happened. There was no other choice, he had to stop her one way or the other so he paced around her manoeuvring her into place without her knowing. She watched him following his movements unaware of his intentions when he stopped pacing and faced her she did not hesitate leaping for his throat with a wild growl. Loki held his ground waiting until the last minute then stepped aside catching her with his hip and sending her tumbling from her momentum straight into the cage they had prepared. She crashed against the side with a metallic thud her head smacking against the bars hard and she saw stars then yelped as Kelly raced forward and stabbed a syringe into her flank emptying its contents into her bloodstream. The powerful sedative worked almost instantly, she stood for a minute not sure what had happened the

It was dusk and out there in the wild mountain range they lived near night fell quickly, above them in the inky sky the stars began to twinkle and shine, none of them noticed when one of the stars detached itself and floated slowly down to the earth, 'I never make a mistake when I match my Alpha Wolves Loki, especially when I match one as rare as Melody.' The three Wolves spun round and fell to their knees in the presence of the Goddess, 'Forgive me Goddess, I am weak.' Loki begged and felt a calming warmth when she placed her hand on his head, 'No my child, you are not weak, you are the strongest of all my Alphas, and that is why I chose you to be her Mate. All you have to do is look into your heart and then you will find your Golden Wolf. She is a fighter, Loki, a survivor and you w
