My dad’s eyes widened. My mom clapped, “Fuck yes! Melanie, you HAVE to attend the training we do with the women of the pack.” Melanie agreed, “Sure. Just tell me when it is.” Oden hummed, “She knows when it is.” That is definitely what the sheepish look on her face was saying.
Melanie stood announcing, “I’m going to shower. Goodnight, everyone.” She darted upstairs. Well, that was one way to avoid the question of how she knows when the training is. Or how she knew who my Uncle Bjourn was before being introduced officially.
Tristan snorted, “I think in any other situation I might be upset that my little sister kicked my ass, but she was just very much like the normal Melanie I know and love with me. That was the first time since she was fourteen I’ve had the real Melanie back. I’ll take it. Also, she’s amazing”
Drake agreed, “She is. I think she could beat me.” Peter snorted, “She could beat me. I think she’d give everyone here a run for their money.” My mom asked, “Why would she need to fucking run for money? Or your money?”
I laughed, “He means she might be able to beat everyone here.” My mom rolled her eyes, “After all these years someone might think it would fucking kill you all to make any damn sense.” My dad kissed her while the rest of us chuckled.
Sam spoke from behind us, “Why is she always in hoodies? Ladybug rarely wore hoodies unless it was to bed. Or to hide a dance outfit from Drake. She even works out in them now and I find that incredibly suspect.”
Drake frowned admitting, “That’s true. She always danced in tank tops, t-shirts, or much to my annoyance, sports bras.” Sam rolled her eyes, “I haven’t seen her in anything but hoodies or anything like she used to wear.”
My mom said nothing, but she looked at my dad. I saw the worry briefly flicker in her eyes. Everyone looked at me. I shrugged, “I haven’t….” I trailed off. Oden snorted, “How are you going to say that in front of a non-Hackura blood family?”
I admitted out loud, “You know what? I don’t know how to say that in an appropriate way since her family is here, and you aren’t Hackura.” Tristan sighed, “I regret asking this already. Have you seen my sister in a bikini?”
I shook my head, “No she wore a swim shirt and bikini bottoms.” Julian offered, “Styles change. She was gone for a….” He trailed off. Everyone knew the end of that sentence. My dad added, “I don’t get the sense Black Path was like us in any way. They could encourage their females to cover up. Or make them.” Tristan snorted, “I don’t think they made Ladybug do a damn thing. They made her work with Hunters, and she became Red One.”
“From what Cayden said she’s who the others he saved look to. They call her the savior of the forgotten packs. Whatever they were trying to do to her in Black Path, they failed. One could say epically.” He threw the Gatorade bottle.
Everly spoke quietly, “T?” He turned, “They drugged my little sister and tried to rape her! What the fuck?! THE GODDAMN MATED ALPHA WANTED MY LITTLE SISTER! What is that? Is it just a free for all outside our allies?! She was FOURTEEN! She said she was a freak. What did that even mean? She said that it didn’t work. What does that mean?”
Micah chimed in, “Brody had to heavily adjust the medications for her when he took care of her. Her body’s metabolism just absorbed anything he gave her. He gave her incredibly high doses that he shouldn’t have had to.”
He continued, “Now that we’ve brought Corbin in, he and Brody are looking into if the spell to suppress her wolf could’ve had effects like that. Her healing is better than every Werewolf I know except for Alexander. Which is only because he can heal himself.”
Sam frowned before saying, “No one can know that. I don’t care what you have to do Drake McAlister, but if I so much as SEE a Supernatural Council member near my pup I’ll lose my goddamn shit. She was already taken from us once. I won’t have them doing experiments on my daughter.”
I growled in anger which had my dad grabbing my arm. Sam shrugged, “You know I’m right. Whatever they did to her, could have altered things. She’s already desirable because she’s a genius. All the things we know she’s come up with, and there will be others we don’t know about yet.”
“Now she can heal easily, she’s insanely fast and strong. No one will take my pup again, Drake. Or the Conners will not be their greatest problem. I will be.” Sam turned and walked up the stairs. Oden said, “That was a good parting line.” It was.
My mom smiled sadly saying, “Never underestimate a momma wolf with her pup. I’d put money on Sam beating their fucking asses.” I snarled, “No one will take her from me.” Dad sighed, “And we got out of the gym so fast tonight. Now, we are going back.”
I heard footsteps before Melanie ran into the room in my hoodie and leggings. She ran then jumped throwing her arms around me. I held her tightly against my chest. She whispered, “I’m here. I’m not going anywhere.” I inhaled deeply and growled, “MINE!” She answered, “Yours.”
EJ asked, “Ummm how did she know he was mad?” I knew the answer since I felt strong emotions from her shooting up my foot. Oden snorted, “Or she’s tapped into the cameras here.” Also an option but I think it was the foot thing.
I popped away with her to our room. I kissed her hard as I snapped her pants off. I told her, “No one will take you from me or I will tear them to pieces.” Melanie smirked, “You’d have to hope there were some left for you to kill, because I’ll never willingly leave you. I’m finally home. I’m finally where I belong with my Xander, and I’m not leaving.”
I put my hand around her neck cupping it. With my other hands I reached and squeezed her ass. She moaned into my mouth and yanked my shirt off. Our mouths separated long enough for my shirt to go over my head.
I snapped my shorts off and I slid the hoodie she had on up a fraction and kissed her bare stomach. She shivered. I pushed it up a little further. I found the scar where she’d been shot. It was in the middle of her ribcage.
A tight ball of emotions came out in a strangled sound from my mouth. “Oh, Lovebug.” I kissed her scar gently. I snapped her bra off and put my head under the material of my hoodie she was wearing. I groaned at the sight of her breast. Her perfectly round nipples were begging to be played with.
I didn’t see any other marks on her stomach or chest. I gently licked her nipple. Her body arched up into me. I chuckled and started stroking her clit with my fingers while sucking on her nipple. Her fingers raked down my back.
Melanie whispered, “Oh god… that… feels so good Xander.” God, I loved hearing her this way. Breathless and her tone full of lust and want. I kept sucking on her nipples, alternating between the two. I slowly slid a finger inside her which made her gasp. Her walls clamped down around my finger. I started moving slowly inside her.
She begged, “Faster… please… oh god… Please my Alpha.” I snarled and took my head out of the hoodie and crashed my lips onto hers. I slowly removed my fingers while she mewled in protest. I quickly lined us up and entered her. She gripped my hips.
I bit her ear teasing, “What was that? What did you ask of me, Lovebug?” She whimpered, “Please… my Alpha….” I growled and nipped at her marking spot which made her scream as she came. I kept going determined to leave a hickey here if I couldn’t leave my mark.
I linked her, “Please what?” I could practically feel her blush. Eventually she panted, “Please… go really fast.” I nipped at her marking spot again. God. This felt so good. I got up on my palms and flipped her on all fours.
I spanked her and said, “As my mate requests.” I gripped her hips and slammed into her. Melanie clutched at the sheets. I let Oden take over because he was begging. By the time we fell apart it was nearly two in the morning and Melanie was fading fast. Oden chuckled, “This ought to get us to wake up with her.” I smiled because he was right.
