Chasing Melody {Book 2}✔

Three

Dear Journal,

Fear seems to always find a way to claw at me. Make me appear weak. I hate being the runt of the pack.

I can never measure up to the great Melany Blake Hunter. Not even my wolf wants any part of me.

A lost pup,
Melody Hunter

Staring out into the fog it makes me feel as if I were in a dream, an illusion somewhat, as if at any moment I will open my eyes and I will be back in my bedroom. I stare at the glowing eyes as they make their way towards my car. There is an uneasy feeling in my stomach making me want to run away but a part of me, my parent's side, makes me stay rooted in my seat.

"I'm the alpha's daughter why am I scared of this little mutt," my body suddenly fills with anger, anger with myself for being so scared. That is why my parents want me to have a shadow because I cannot even take care of myself.

I stare at the eyes when suddenly with a blink they are gone. I push myself closer to the steering wheel looking for those emanating eyes when a howl behind my car makes me scream bloody murder. 

Trevin howls next to me and I shut my eyes tight not wanting to look back. My lungs gasp for air when the driver side door is pull open and the cold air seeps into the warm car making my skin fill with goose bumps.

Oh my god they found me!

I push myself towards the passenger side of the car as I hear someone grunting. Trevin jumps to the back seat as I make my way to him. 

"Trevin get out!" I claw at the door my fingers slamming into the window as I try to pry the lock.

I summon all my courage and look over at the door but the fog seem unnaturally thick as smoke and I can make out a silhouette of a person at my door. My stomach tightens as another scream rips through me as the figure comes closer into the car their hand gripping my ankle tightly pulling towards them.

"Help!" I scream as my legs swing at the perp.

"Melody," his words do not register into my mind.

"Let me go!" I can see their head coming into the car and that is when my reflexes kick in and my knee jerks up connecting with their jaw. A hiss of vulgarities lashes out of him as his grip loosens on my ankle with one last ditch effort I swing my foot at his head when his reflexes are fast and he catches me by the ankle once again.

"Dammit Melody," this angered voice I recognize. "Did you call me just to beat the shit out of me?" Chase's voice makes its way to me and the rush of relief that invades me is like a typhoon. I cannot stop myself from throwing my body at him and my arms wrap around him.

"Oh," I gasp out, "I have never been so happy to see someone in my entire life," I release him and I notice that I am out of the car completely the cold air does not affect me being so close to Chase. His body seems to be steaming as the cold air connects with his heated body. His breath is on my neck and suddenly his heat seems unbearable I release his neck and drop to my feet gently.

"Are you okay?" His concern makes this unknown feeling at the pit of my stomach intensify. I nod and take a step away from him when I see a streak of blood oozing out from the corner of his mouth.

"My god, did I do that?" I stare at his mouth with wide eyes. He chuckles and runs his fingers through his hair.

"Yeah, you have quite a kick in you," my hands clap over my mouth.

"I'm so sorry, my instincts kicked in, literally." My hands goes to his jaw but he steps back, my hands drop to my sides.

"Where is this person that is sending you into hysterics?" His eyes scan the area and when he cannot see much with human eyes his wolf surfaces letting him see better, "there is no one out here."
