It was almost time for the banquet so Melina took a dip in the tub which was full of herbs that helped rejuvenate the skin , after taking her bath she could feel her skin was smoother and a lot softer , she went to her dressing table and applied some essential oils and scented oils all over her body, by the time she was done the sweet scents filled the room.She proceeded to wear the dress she had picked , thinking the event was going to be a simple one like the wedding ceremony Melina picked out a knee length blue halter neck dress . Just as she was about to slip into the dress she heard a knock on her door The voice said from behind the door "My lady , may I come in?"Melina quickly put her robe back on before answering "come in"The door opened and Nina who was a servant in the mansion came in holding a rather big box."Alpha Dwayne asked me to bring this to you my lady " she said while placing the box down on the bed."Thank you , where is he ?" Asked Melina Nina answered court
Dwayne held open the car door for Melina as she entered the car before going to the other side of the car and getting in himself , the driver turned on the ignition and soon they were their way to the banquet hall.Dwayne held out his arm to Melina as they stepped out of the car in front of the banquet hall, Melina leisurely placed her arm in his giving him a look that screamed the words " I trust you " and with that both of them walked towards the gigantic doors of the hall , by the door were a couple of guards who bowed to them as they walked through the doors.Melina turned to Dwayne almost whispering "I still feel uneasy about the idea of being bowed to"Dwayne replied her in the same manner "You'd better start getting used to it as you'll be getting a lot of bows from now"Both of them couldn't help giggling at their childishness but the lovely moment was soon interrupted by a masculine voice that erupted behind them."Who else if not the latest couple in town " said Aren with a
After the banquet Melina and Dwayne bade some of the guests goodnight and soon they were on their way home.Dwayne took a look at her and found her fully staring at him with those sexy eyes " You know if you keep staring at me that way I doubt if I would be able to concentrate on driving" he said with sincerity" Alright then " muttered Melina before leaning her head backwards to the headrest.They got home and Pulling up in front of the house they noticed it looked a bit too quiet Dwayne turned almost whispering to Melina "did you tell the servants to leave a window open or something?Melina replied anxiously "No, everything was locked up when we left. What could have happened?""Let's check on the baby first."She nodded softly "Something's not right."He slowly opened the door, revealing a room that should have been filled with the warmth of their child. Instead, they were met with a scene that shattered their peace – the nanny lifeless on the floor, and the baby's crib empty.Me
Emma's bitterness spilled forth as she recounted the path that had led her to that vengeful moment."I was meant to be the Luna, destined to stand by Dwayne's side. I devised a plan to frame you for betraying him, but even then, he forgave you. It was infuriating. My rightful place was snatched away by your mere presence.""All this time, you've been plotting against me for something as trivial as being with Dwayne?"Emma's eyes glinted with resentment. "Trivial? It was everything to me! I couldn't let a blind girl be preferred over me, the rightful Luna. I thought blinding you would make you insignificant, but you still found a way to worm your way into his heart."Melina's mind raced, "And now you're using my son to get back at me? What do you gain from all this cruelty?"Emma leaned forward, a venomous smile on her lips. "I gain satisfaction, revenge, and the position I rightfully deserve""Dwayne married me, and nothing you do will change that. You can't erase the bond we share, n
As Emma was escorted away in custody, her threats echoed back at Dwayne and Melina as stood together.Emma screamed in defiance "You'll pay for this! Both of you!"The officer that was escorting her away replied her sternly "Save your threats for the wolf court council"Melina, holding the baby close "She won't harm us anymore"As Emma was escorted away a sense of relief washed over them, knowing that a major part of their problem had been solved. The authorities assured them that justice would be served.As Melina and Dwayne apprached the mansion Anna came running towards them closely followed by ArenAnna with deep concern all over her face " Melina, you can't just disappear like that. We were all worried about you and the baby."" I'm sorry, Anna. It all happened so fast, and the safety of my child was at stake"Aren chipped "They're back home now Anna, and everyone is safe.i think that's what's important"She took the baby from Anna and with a very inquisitive tone asked "who was
Melina's POV."Melina." I stood up immediately, running to where the alpha stood. If I didn't do that, I knew how bad my day would turn out to be."Yes Alpha." I said and he smiled, I knew what the smile meant, no matter how I tried avoiding it, my day won't be that easy, I can't smile my way out of this or be obedient.I was born a slave, my family have been slaves half of their lives to the Cresent pack, my mother was a slave till she died, so was my father, I was now an orphan left to become the alpha's slave.My parents weren't slaves at first, my dad was a beta, and my mom a healer, they were loyal to the former Alpha, and their lives were great.Alpha Rick took over and killed the former Alpha and his wife and took those who were loyal to him as slaves, that's how my parents became slaves.My mom didn't let him know she was a healer, she was scared of what he'll make her do once he found out.I loved loyalty, but at some point, I hated it as well, wished they somehow betrayed th
Melina's POV.After that beatings I got from him, I finally came to the decision that I'll be leaving the pack, I couldn't heal myself quickly so he wouldn't find out I was a healer.My plan was sleek,all I needed was for it to fall through, I made sure no one know my plans, I carried two clothes and tucked into the small sling bag I had, I sneaked into the kitchen taking five loaves of bread, on a normal day, I won't eat any bread, all I could get sometimes were crumbs and leftovers.Looking around, I saw no one, Alpha Rick had something to do outside the pack, and everyone else were either in their rooms, or doing something else. This was the best chance to leave. If he was around it would've been hard, I wouldn't succeed with his constant watchful eyes.I slipped past the gate when the guard turned away.I rushed out, running away. I ran into the bush, making sure I didn't look back. It seemed as if someone was pursuing me, but I didn't know who it was."Melina." I gasped when I hea
Dwane's POV.I was reluctant in leaving for the hunt and checking the borders of the pack, I sent my beta already and few of my warriors, but somehow something drove me out of the training room, I rushed into my room showering immediately, I didn't know why I suddenly felt like going out, but I decided to join them in what they were doing.My wolf was hyper today, overly excited for some reason I didn't seem to understand, it wasn't this excited even while I had sex as a form to tame it's madness, but it got really happy, jumping around when I said I was going out."Why are you so happy?" I asked my wolf."I don't know, I have a feeling that something good will happen." It replied, still jumping around."You're excited over a feeling?" I asked shockingly."Yes, I feel good for whatever good is coming." It said and I scoffed while walking ahead, I wanted to find out whatever it was that made my wolf this excited,I was getting excited too, and I didn't see anything that deserved this ha
