~Chase's POV~

Driving back to our territory is easy since my wolf is in control. The trees rush pass us as we speed onto Moonless territory. My white knuckles bulge out as my grip tightens on the steering wheel.

Chase!

Did you find the alpha?

Where the hell did you go?

Is our alpha back?

I've been looking for you!

A flood of voices come crashing down like a wave in my mind, the last on being Brooke.

What the hell do you want? My irritation with her clinging onto every word, she should just leave me alone.

I was worried you vanished when the pack house was attacked. I thought you were taken or even worse hurt.

Well that is none of your business, is it now. Now leave me alone Brooke I have some business to attend to.

Her wolf snarls at me but she makes herself vanish.

Ken! We're back.

I'm holding a pack meeting in a little bit, our usual spot.

Got it!

The pack house comes into view and I slowly brake not wanting to wake her. My wolf and I do not have to look back to know that she is fast asleep. She needs this if we are going to go up against that pack she needs to be on her A game.

What if we keep her out of this?

Are you insane? I yell at my wolf, I can't do that to her. She trusts me and if I leave her behind I violate that trust and she will go back to her cold shoulder antics.

But she'll be safe.

Nothing is going to happen to her. I will have to be dead before anything happens to her.

The heat in my stomach erupts and the memory of Melody seeing Luke for the first time is embedded in my mind. Her surprise and lack of anger towards him makes me uneasy. Yes, she clearly was annoyed with him but does she have it in her to kill him if he stands between her and her mother?

You don't want her to kill anyone.

I know she's still human and if by chance she doesn't get her wolf killing someone will eat at her.

Let's get her inside.

Getting out of the car I head to the backseat. Opening the door my eyes fall on an unconscious Melody. Her chest rises and falls and that sight makes my body relax. Gently I wrap my arms around her.

"Melody, we're here." I coax her to wake up but her beautiful eyes remain closed.

"Chase?" His voice makes me pull Melody closer to my chest.

"Carl," I sigh, I shouldn't be so possessive over her he's her cousin for Pete's sakes.

"Is that Melody?" He peeks over my shoulder and looks down at his little cousin.

"Yes."

"She looks horrible," he states and I take in her beaten state. "Pack meeting in five, are you bringing her?" Looking down at her once again she looks so peaceful in her slumber.

"She is a fighter, I'll come back and get her once Ken decides what we should do." Carl nods and heads off into the trees.

Making my way through the house I get to Melody's room with ease and gently lay her down. My body hovers over her as I pull my lips close to her ear, "Sleep tight."
