The Ritual 2

Niko's POV

Sorry guys! Been hella busy! Any who, I've had a lot of request for this chapter so I wrote it and i'm dedicating it to my new fans MakaylaLolley, IAmCherryHearMeRoar(fabulous name lol) and MireyaDelCarmenJimenez! I hope you enjoy!

"There's something I need to tell you." I mutter softly to my father who is starting to look more and more restless by the hour. He looks at me with hatred in his eyes. I know that he meant well by trying to give us privacy, but once you get Melinda started there's no guarantee that she'll stop.

"What are you here to tell me that Melinda doesn't want me in my grand children's life? Does she think I care around those abominations that you both call children?"

"You're still upset, so I'll let that slide. I came in here to tell you about your daughter." I spit acid. He has no right to talk about my children. He needs to wait what he says.

"What does Kayley have to do with your demon spawns?" My dad hisses. What have my children ever done to him? Him insulting them is twice is two times to many. He will not disrespect my family. Not when I've worked my ass off to get them back. I watch him sit down at his desk, while Kayley stands beside them. I know he isn't fond of Melinda, but he can at least respect her because I love her.

"The cancer may be killing you, but if you if you say one more word about my kids or my mate, I'll kill you right now. Father or no father, no man will disrespect my children. My children are my life. Now listen and listen good....You claim you loved my mother, but you sure didn't have a problem getting in between the sheets with Melody Triggs. Nobody has given our family a worse reputation than you. Not only that. You impregnated her! Tell me what did you do for the child? Nothing Right?! Did you send her here to break Mel and I up you sick bastard?!" I yell, slamming my fist hard hard on his desk. He looks at me with sorrow in his eyes. I cant believe he would do this to me, to my kids!

"When I killed her partner last year...the one that almost ran her off the road, I wondered why he kept calling me to Noah. That's when I started watching you. I put the pieces together a while ago, once Codie told me everything. Once she told me she drugged me out of my mind with a fucking date rape drug! How can you live with yourself? You're not my father, you're a fucking sperm donor. Melinda never said anything about not letting you see our children, but I'm going to make sure Kayley doesn't. You "father" I want you to look deep into my children's eyes and I want you to tell them why you wanted their mother killed and their father out of their lives. They may not understand, but if anybody should know why, they should." I frown, turning around to leave.

"Codie is my daughter?...I just heard about her on the news. Codie is dead. She died in a car accident just a couple blocks from here. Oh and Niko, Its a shame you keep that girl in the dark. You sleeping with your half sister has nothing to do with her drugging you. If you don't remember you called her back. Why? What's the real reason you cheated on you're mate. Was it because Melinda couldn't satisfy you? Are was because she wasn't a tight fit; a whore just like her mother!" I didn't remember, charging at him, but it took Reese, Max and Rex to pull me back. I could feel my wolf begging to break free and rip his fucking heart out.

"Niko don't...Think about your kids; think about Mel." Max yells

"Let it go, the old bastard is going to get whats coming to him." Reese mutters, walking me out of my dads office. Rex pulled me into the backyard, he pulls out a carton of cigarettes and takes one out to smoke. Then he offers me one.

"Melinda will kill me if I walked in smelling like cigarettes." I shake my head. Rex takes a couple steps forward, enough to make sure no smoke touched my clothes.

"You're father is a smart man, but at the same time he's a damn fool. He wants you to hate him; It'll be easier to move on when he's gone if you hate him. You cant let him get to you, not now not ever. I suggest you go home, and you tell Mel you love her. Tell her the truth about you and that Codie girl. How do you expect her to fully trust you if you talk to her? If you don't mind me asking...why did you sleep with that Codie girl?"

"Every since Mel told me she was pregnant...I've been rethinking everything. What if whoever matched us together made a mistake? What if the person i'm really supposed to be with is right in front of my face and I don't even know it?! When Codie threw herself at me I looked at it as an opportunity....You want to know whats worse than cheating on your mate? Liking every bit of it. I fucked her little brains out and it was the best sex I ever had! I'm a sick bastard who doesn't deserve forgiveness for my actions, but through all of that the one person that shouldn't want anything to do with me wants to make this work! I don't deserve her or my kids. I have to deal with that one night over and over again for the rest of my life." I hold back tears as I step back into the house, only to run right into Mel. Her eyes were red around the rims and tears were falling down her face.

"Melinda." I whisper.

"Take me home. We'll talk about it some other time. I'm in too much pain to argue." Mel says rubbing her back. I take her hand as we head to the car. I really do deserve her.

***

Mel has already taken her pain killers, but some how she's still in pain. It doesn't take a scientist to figure out that something is wrong. She's lying in bed, rubbing her belly. I still don't know how she feels about what I said, but I dont want to get her upset when she's in pain.

" Melinda, are you sure you're okay? You already took your pain killers and you're still hurting."

"Niko, baby i'm fine. I just need to rest." She frowns, laying down on her side of the bed. I take a deep breath as my hand gently falls on her stomach. I stare at our babies for a while, then look at her. I've been worrying since we got home.

"I'm calling Lawrence." I say, reaching for my phone. Then Mel stops me by placing her hand over mine. Mel pulls me into bed and wrap my arms around her. I have to admit her scent is downright intoxicating.

"Niko, I love you and our babies more than anything in this world. And I'll be more than happy to marry you. I've thought about it over the past 24 hours and I've been so difficult about all of this. Our kids deserve a mother and a father that will stay together forever. Marriage wont guarantee that so before we get married...I want you to claim me. " Mel smiles.

"You're not serious." I reply

"You don't think i'm serious Niko? I want to be your wife. I want you and only you. Don't you want me and only me?"

"Of course I do."

"Then come on lover boy, claim me." Mel winks.

***

Melinda's lips are on my neck and my wolf is going absolutely crazy right now. I read online that you can induce labor if you have sex past the 5 month mark. I still have a lot to do before they get here. Inducing labor isn't something I want to do, but her lips have me on cloud nine.

"Mmm Mel, Stop...Were not doing this tonight-Holy fuck that feels good." I groan, tightening my grip on her beautiful ass. Lets just say that there's a tent pitching in my pants and she'd better stop before I really induce labor.

"Shhh, babe." she grins, sucking my neck roughly now. I groan as I nibble at her collarbone, Her hands squeeze my friend firmly. I jerk back, chuckling as I flips her over to get on top of me. she straddles me, while I kiss at her belly.

"You're not chickening out are you?" she grins, exposing her neck. I shake my head as I flip us over to where I'm on top.

"Are you sure Mel?" I mutter kissing down my neck to my stomach. I stops to place extra kisses to her belly before I move down to her right thigh. I place little kisses down her inner thigh lightly before biting down hard. she screams out as I lick up all the blood that hasn't gone through the sheets. I cant believe she's officially mine. I kiss forehead and tangle my hands with hers.

"Melinda, will you marry me?" I ask, rubbing her tummy.

"Yes. I'll marry you."

"I love you." I murmur.

"I know, now are you going to keep talking, or are we going to celebrate?" She grins, rubbing my-friend.

"I told you that its dangerous. What if you go into labor?"

"I'm not asking you to fuck me Niko. I want you to make love to me. You're killing me here!" She moans, rubbing her breasts through her very thin cotton shirt. I slap her fingers away as I place my hands on her swollen breasts. I lick slow and suck hard. I know I'll have her screaming all night.
