“Oh yes, we’ve had some good memories,” He tells me.
“Like what?”
“So, one time they almost closed this shop because of angry moms, they said kids were eating too much ice cream and cake, and they made a petition to close it,” He informs me
“It was my friends and I that stopped it from shutting down,” He says proudly.
“How did you do that?”
“We protested and the owner, Mr, Li, relented,” He says and I nod. I didn’t manage to finish all my goodies so we just left, but on my way out I’m surprised to find Alaiah.
“Alyssa, Leondre!” She cheers.
“Alaiah,” Leon and I say at the same time, she and Ashton are smiling at us.
“Hello, I didn’t know you like Mr. Li’s pastries,” She chimes, a little too happy. I nod?.
“I see you do too,”
“Urgh, god no, it’s just the cravings, this kid will make me fat,” She says, rubbing her belly and it dawns on me that she’s pregnant.
“I’ll love you anyway,” Smiles Ashton.
“You’re pregnant,” Leon says, his voice barely a whisper.
“Yes, we are pregnant,” Beams Ashton, I squint my eyes at him and I tilt my neck.
“She likes it when I use we in this pregnancy,” He informs me and I nod. So like Alaiah.
“Congrats!” I say, my eyes darting at Leon who is still staring at Alaiah’s belly and I realize he wants that as well, my heart sinks, goddess, give me back the Leon who hated me pregnant! I internally yell.
“Alright, we’ll get going now,” I say, linking my arm with Leon’s and walking to the car
“Good night!” Ashton calls, he is excited.
Our drive home is quiet, Leon is in deep thought, I don’t dare ask. He opens the door for me and I kiss his cheek, he only sighs and we go upstairs. I start kissing his lips to lighten up the mood but it’s still foul so I suggest; “Should I get the cuffs and all,”
He only kisses my forehead “I’m tired baby, I want to rest,”
He takes off his clothes and goes to the shower, I take off mine and follow him, wrapping my arms around his torso as the cold water pours over us.
“You hate cold water,” He says softly, reaching to close it but I stop him.
“I used to bathe cold water at my former pack all the time, I think I can survive five minutes,” I say, slowly bending down to kiss his eight packs and his v line. He shudders and says,
“You’re not there anymore, here you have all you want and the best of everything,” He tells me. He tilts my head up and bends his neck to kiss me, he extends his arm and switches to warm water, and leaves me there. I sigh as I watch his back.
Melody’s POV
I was bored out of my head in a meeting when my grandmother, Christina Carter, also known as CC, called me to her office, I soon concluded my meeting with the PR and headed to my grandmother’s office. She looked worried as she looked through the papers but smiled as soon as I entered the room
“Melody, my dear,” She sighs. Usually, when she gives me that look, she is disappointed in me. She throws the reports at me and shakes her head.
“This is stupid Melody, you’ve been working here for a year now and you still can’t write a proper report,” I internally roll my eyes. This woman never misses an opportunity to criticize me! Am never good enough for her.
“I’ll do it again, Grandmother,”
“It’s Madam here at the office,” she says sharply, She exhales and gets to her feet. Wearing her fur coat and walking past me.
“I don’t want you to do it again,” She stops abruptly, turning around to face me.
“I want you to do a better job, Melody! I’m the CEO here and I don’t want you slacking! OMG, you get hard to work with by the second,” She hisses.
“Matthew!”
“Yes, Madam,” Her assistant bows
“Is everything ready for the trip to the royal pack?” She asks, the mention of the royal pack highlands my interest. Whatever can I do to make this woman take me with her? I glance at the duo as they run through their calendar and a smirk makes its way to my lips. Alyssa Altamirano thinks is Queen and has Leondre’s heart all to herself. I scoff when I remember how she insulted me.
‘Everything in here in mine, and I don’t share,” That bitch thinks she’s running the show in the sapphire royal pack. I’ll do everything I can to bed her mate just to see her smugness vanish.
She doesn’t deserve to be the Luna of that pack, she doesn’t even merit to be the Lycan Queen. I’m supposed to be but all the years, Leondre has rejected all my advances towards him. He was first with that dreadful Nsansa Jones, thank the goddess for her death and just when I was about to glide into King Leondre’s life, I was informed that he found his mate.
“Aah, Grandmother, I want to discuss something with you,” I inform her, she scowls.
“Oh, you’re still here,” She mutters.” Give me a minute,” My grandmother is an elder Lycan, and a powerful woman who bore two sons, one of them is my useless father who chose love over the title as the Alpha so CC ousted him, and the other, my uncle Blanco, the perfect son, and her pride. Christina Carter is not particularly fond of my mother because was a stripper in her words who ‘trapped my happily married father by getting pregnant with me,’ Father disgraced the mighty Carter family so they paid her to leave after I was born and she accepted to abandon me, but my father was so in love with her that he chased her down to another continent leaving four kids and a wife, including me. I hear they are living a happy life in south Asia. They invite me to stay with them but my dreams are far bigger than living happily in a two-story house.
“Yes, Dear what?”
“I want to come with you to the Royal pack,” CC looks at me up and down before asking.
“And why is that? I’m going on official Lycan and personal business,”
“I know but my birthday is coming up and you know I get sad because of my parents, I will feel better if I leave the pack,” I say sadly.
“Don’t throw a pity party it’s pathetic and stopped working after your sixteenth birthday eight years ago and you have so many friends,” She snaps and a few tears escape my eyes.
“Melody there are so many places to go for some fun, why there and don’t lie to me,” She is serious now. I sigh and think for a while.
