Chasing Melody {Book 2}✔

21

Dear Journal,

I am an awful friend. I completely forgot about the one being that stood by me through everything. A true friend can come in different forms. I need to remember that.

Hopelessly Lost,

Melody

My racing heart calm down as I take in his excited demeanor.

"Oh my god! Trevin," I squeal as his tail whips behind him and he bolts to the car. I haven't seen him in a couple days and my heart burst in my chest as I am reunited with my best friend.

I push the door open as Trevin jumps inside the car onto my lap. His face rubs against mine as his wet nose sniffs at me.

"Hey buddy I've missed you," I say between my giggles as Trevin steps all over me and licks my face as if I were his favorite ice cream flavor.

"Well that's everyone," Chase puts the car in reverse my hand shoots out closing the door as he reverses and then speeds out of my house.

"What happen?" Trevin jumps off my laps and pushes himself to the backseat. Chase's eyes look into the rearview mirror with weary eyes.

"Your mother has sent for a fucking manhunt on you," he sighs.

"Can't she track you down?" She can always order him to take me home.

"Yes she can that's why I'm trying to put as much distance between us before she figures out that you're with me," his foot pushes down on the gas pedal.

"How much distance?" I turn to look at him.

"Let's find out," he presses on the pedal harder.

Chase's eyes stay on the road but his-mind is off with the packs.

"What are they doing?" I ask him quietly.

"Your father just made it back to the pack house." He clears his throat and shakes his head as if he could shake them out.

"My father?"

"Your mother and father had a fight in front of the pack. He is mad about something your mother did," he concentrates on his mind and I notice he swerve a bit before regaining control. "Things just got ugly. Your mother's beta just arrived and he doesn't seem happy either. Do you know what's going on?"

Chase glances over at me quickly and I swallow down the dryness in my mouth. "Yeah," I sigh, "my mother made a decision that made me run out on her when we were talking. She said that my father and uncle agreed with her but from the looks of it they were blindsided."

"What did she decide? I can't hear them as well anymore." He says lifting his foot from the gas pedal.

"She blames," dipping my head I stare at my hands on my lap, "she blames you for what happen to me." I blurt out. He stay quiet and I fight myself to look over at him.

"I don't blame her," he finally speaks and I look over at him. His eyes stay locked on the road, "it's my duty to look after you. That's it and I couldn't even do that."

"Hey, look at me," I tell him and his eyes go to me. "I did this, not you. I thought you said you were going to give me a taste of freedom...not of regret." 

I'll tell him about my mother's decision when we go home.

"Oh I can give you freedom today you're not the alphas daughter today you're just Melody," he pushes a button and the windows roll down. This gets Trevin excited as he pushes his head out of the car. The wind fills the car with the scent of the mountains.
