Melanie's POV

"Hmm...oh! Cody!"

"What?" He said, turning to face me.

"Can you tell me where your brother is?" I smiled.

He pointed to the room down the hall, belonging to Blake.

"Oh, no. Sorry, I forgot you had multiple brothers," I muttered, "I meant  Max..."

"He with Ruvey"

"Whe-"

"In attic" He pointed up with his tiny fingers. I kissed his cheek.

"Thank you" I called as I headed for the stairs.

Hmm...attic. Attic. Attic. Atti-ah here we go. I reached up and pulled the string, sending the stairs down. Now just need to find Max and Ruve-

"Fuck!" Never mind. Ruvel cursed as a bookshelf fell over, spilling its contents across the floor.

"Here" I got down, helping him pick the books up.

"Oh, hey Sexy." I shook my head.

"Not happening. Have you seen Max?"

"Mel?" Max looked shocked as he left the small office room in the corner.

"Ah, hey." I smiled. If possible, his eyes widened even more.

"Y-You're not mad?"

"Mad?" I echoed. "Why would I be mad?"

"I-I-"

"So...what did I miss? I mean you're being awkward while she's her normal hotness" He stopped, sending me a wink before continuing." So what happened..." We both stared at him. "What?"

"I'm not mad, Max. I was just coming to see if you were okay." I reassured.

"I'm sorry...I didn't mean what I said. I just need my mate..." He said, halfheartedly smiling.

"I get it. We'll help you find her...or him..."  He smiled, giving me a hug.

The hug didn't go so well because he was partly standing while I was still on the floor. He fell on top of me causing us both to be on the ground, but with him on top of me.

"Ruvel, Cody said Mel came up...here...what the fuck?" Blake entered the attic, seeing our current situation. Max turned pale as I smiled at my mate.

"Hey, Blake..." I trailed off.

"Yeah, get off." He ordered.

"Y-Yeah..." Max studdered, getting off of me. Blake hugged me protectively.

"Blake. Blake let go you're suffocating me. Blake!" I whined, dragging out the 'e'. Chuckling, he kissed my cheek and let me go.

"So why were you trying to rape my mate?" He asked Max, giving him a blank stare.

"Uh..."

"Uh?! He fell on top of me when he tried to hug me! Why are you acting like you did something?!" I yelled, flailing my arms around.

"Calm down, Angel." He chuckled at my concern.

"Whatever" I muttered, crossing my arms.

"Hey babe, can you help me pick up the books now?"

"Yeah" I sat on my legs and started to pick up books.

"So we're just going to act like he didn't call you 'babe'?"

"Yep" Max said as he started to help us.

"Whatever" He sighed, running a hand through his hair.
