The Alpha Enforcer and His Dancing Warrior

A Legend Pt. 3

I figured out pretty fast where Melanie was going. She was going to where she danced. She jumped into the pond there and I followed her in. I watched in astonishment as her fur turned white the second she hit the water. She swam out and just sat at the water's edge. Her eyes and the feelings I felt from her told me she was in shock. Oden linked me, “I know you want to shift back…but let me just…feel her in wolf form first.” I linked, “Go ahead.” He gently nuzzled his mate for the first time. Freya put her head on top of his. He linked, “Ok…we can shift back now.” I shifted and asked her if she knew how. She titled her head. She was adorable. EJ linked me, “THE WHITE WOLF IS MELANIE?!” I linked, “You’re late to the party, but you’ve caught on.” EJ replied, “IT’S TRUE?! Dylan is right? Well, mom and dad knew too….Travis….Fowler…Chason…Lucas and Emmaline seem to know too.” I linked, “They are right. I need to get her to shift back so…bye.” I closed our link as suddenly Melanie was back in human form. In her clothes. Alrighty then. She panicked over still having clothes on. I was pretty sure that was the least of the concerns, but her mind was clinging to that detail. I hugged her and told it was going to be ok. 

Her feelings switched from shock to lust so fast I nearly fell over. She kissed me then told me to mark her. What? Now? Oden growled, “f**k yes now….mark mate!” Wasn’t she overwhelmed? Oden linked, “You want to.” More than I could express. Melanie pointed out everyone was going to want to talk to her. Who knows when we’d make it our room, but we were alone right now. I popped her into my treehouse. I asked if she was sure. I felt her complete sincerity when she said yes. Thank god. Oden was howling with joy. I pushed her onto the bed. Her excitement was combined with my own. I asked her, “So…you healed Oden…and Thor.” Melanie snickered, “Freya did. I just chose who to heal with you. Apparently we can always heal Oden.” I kissed her and pulled back, “You’re amazing. My fierce dancing warrior legend mate.” She blushed as I kissed her neck. I nibbled where my mark would be soon. It occurred to me she might not be ready for meetings. She might be wiped out after I marked her….but i didn’t care. Not one bit of me gave a s**t. They could all chill the f**k out. She was mine…I’d been denied being able to mark her, but no more. 

I started to kiss down her body. Melanie shook her head, “No…I need you inside me….then I need your teeth buried in my neck…please Xander…I feel like I might explode if that doesn’t happen. It has killed me inside that we couldn’t mark each other.” I looked into her eyes. I slid my fingers down and found her dripping wet. I smiled, “Well, only because you’re so ready for me. I’d have had to prepare you otherwise.” Melanie snorted, “I heard Black Path wolves tell she wolves that’s what lube was for…often.” I hissed, “They are motherfucking assholes….they could take the time to prepare a she wolf at and use lube. They are seriously a bunch of assholes.” I kissed her and lined us up. I slowly slid into her I groaned, “f**k you are so damn wet and tight.” She gasped once I was all the way in. She begged me, “Move my Alpha….Please.” I thrust my hips. She arched off the bed. I leaned down to kiss her as I began to move inside her. Oden linked, “She’s already going to be close.” I linked, “What?” Oden answered, “She’s a different kind of wolf…she just shifted and now she’s being intimate with us….it’s…uhh..” Melanie screamed my name, “XANDER!” As her walls clamped down tightly on me. I let Oden come forward and sank my teeth into her neck. Her legs locked around my back as her nails dug into my shoulder as her orgasm came over and over again. I couldn’t help but come myself. She was clamped down so tightly around my d**k. I felt her teeth on my neck. A thrill went through me. Her teeth pierced my skin. I roared her name, “MELANIE!” I began thrusting into her again and again. 

I saw literally stars. I pulled my teeth out and licked her neck. She did the same to me, and then we went at each other again. We were dripping with sweat when we fell apart. She laughed as she laid across my chest. I intertwined our fingers. Freya came forward, “Come with me mate.” I linked, “Anywhere.” She put her forehead on mine. Suddenly we were in a forest. I looked to my side as I heard a yip. I gaped, “Oden?” He happily yipped and chased Freya. I felt tingles on my arm. I turned, “Mel?” She smiled, “Yeah…I guess this is my place…Freya said it was our plane. She showed me how to bring you with me. She can bring the wolves…I bring the people.” I laughed. We both ran after our wolves. Who were frolicking and playing. Melanie jumped into a lake and went in after her. When we surfaced I told her, “It’s a beautiful place.” She put her legs around me. She whispered, “What do we do?” I told her, “I will protect you.” I sighed, “I just want us to have a second, and we will never get it.” I told her, “I’m sure EJ brought Trevor…” I growled his name. She put her hands on my chest. I continued, “Back to our territory. Trevor had no idea it was you. We will protect that knowledge as long as we can. No one is going to believe it was a person in a pack….Hell, some people will believe we were drugged, and the other side needed a reason for their losses. Even once it’s found out….I am not a man people want to cross.” Melanie nodded, “That’s true.” 

EJ linked me, “So….there’s a whole lotta people who want to talk to you two. Did Ladybug pass out? Dylan says she won’t.” I linked back, “We are in some plane the white wolf has access too.” EJ linked, “Great…..can you get back?” I laughed and asked Melanie, “Can we get back? Seems the group has turned impatient waiting for us.” She cringed, “What if I faked passing out from being marked by an Alpha?” I laughed, “You? You would turn red when they asked. You might be worse at lying than me.” Melanie frowned, “That’s not possible…I can at least attempt to lie. You literally can’t tell one.” I smirked, “But I can evade without blushing…or rambling.” Melanie opened her mouth and closed it. She stuck her tongue out at me. She yelled, “Freya, we have to go.” Freya and Oden came up. He shot me a pouting look. I snorted, “Don’t get mad at me buddy….the group wants to talk because our mate just made a legend come to life.” Melanie sighed, “I mean…I…that…” I kissed her, “How do we get back?” Melanie grabbed my hand and walked to a creek. She laid down and pulled me with her. 

When I opened my eyes we were back in my treehouse. I linked, “Oden?” He linked ‘Where else would I be?” I snorted, “You say that, but I tried to link you earlier and nothing…” Oden sighed, “The second that drink hit your tongue….it was like I took a nap.” I sighed, “Paige and Corbin can look into it.” Melanie asked, “Do we really have to go? Can’t we just…hide out here? Until they leave?” I laughed, “No. Your family won’t leave. Dylan Frost will set up camp and my dad will lose his mind. Come on.” I snapped her into my hoodie and leggings. I wanted her to be comfortable. Plus she looked damn good in my clothes. I snapped myself into sweats. I checked my connections. My parents and EJ were close by. Which probably meant Elise was there as well waiting. I popped us down and started walking. Melanie ran and jumped on my back. She giggled and kissed my cheek. I saw my dad before Melanie. He said, “Quite a few people want to talk to you two.” Melanie slid down me, and buried her face in my back. I asked, “Who might that be?” My dad snorted, “Dylan because….of course he’s here. Jayden, Finn, Lucas, Dalton, Dakota, Nick, Peter, and all the McAlister’s. Along with Fowler and Chason…I told them to join us…as this affects them.” I nodded, “I assume Phil and Toby are there too.” My dad nodded, “Along with Sierra, yes. Valentina, her brother, and his mate joined the group as well.” 

Melanie said, “Any chance….we could not talk about it.” EJ answered, “Not really. It’s a rather large deal.” Elise said, “Well, let's get to it, and move on with our evening.” Melanie snickered. I raised an eyebrow, “Why? Do you and EJ have a hot date?” Elise smiled, “No.” Evasive. I linked EJ, “What the hell?” EJ frowned, “Not sure. Let’s just pop to the living room.” I put an arm around Melanie and popped into the living room. I asked, “Where is Trevor McCann?” Dylan howled with laughter, “Oh my dear lord. THAT is your first question? I do love you so Moody Mini Saint God Alpha Prick, and yes….you have elevated into your deserved status for having a mate who is a literal legend. Don’t worry…when one of your brothers finds his dragon mate…he will join you in status. The man your question is about….was taken by the creepy ninja assassins. I heard that DIRECTLY from the King of the creepy ninja assassins in the corner over there….you call him Uncle of course…but I doubt he lied about the location of the man we now know as Trevogre.” I raised an eyebrow, “Excuse me? A dragon? Those don’t exist anymore.” I felt something odd from Melanie. I linked her, “Do you know something I don't?” Melanie linked, “I mean…I know a lot of things….and stuff….” Before I could ask Dylan said, “Settle a debate for us MelAshley….are you still in fact a white wolf…or do we need to shame your dad some more about not teaching you about mixing your whites with your darks? Are you a pink wolf now? It’s ok…you can be our electric pink wolf…we will still love you OH so much.” Melanie tilted her head, “No…my wolf is still white.” I nodded, “She is. When she hit the water…her fur instantly turned back to its white color.” Dylan sighed, “Well, at least I live with the knowledge…my goddess was right, and it wasn’t LSGAP who offered that her fur was magic….I SHALL hold onto that detail….it gives me warm fuzzies.” 

Drake said, “Ladybug….are you ok?” Melanie answered, “If you mean physically, I’m fine.” T said, “He does not mean physically.” Melanie sighed, “I don’t know.” Jase asked, “Did you know?” Melanie frowned, “Well, after I shifted…yes. It wasn’t much longer after that….that everyone else found out.” Jase said, “I meant before….Your wolf didn’t tell you?” Melanie shook her head, “No, she didn’t. I mean…I kept going to that place and seeing her wolf….I thought I’d just made it up. I played with your wolves there though.” They both nodded. They’d known that. Interesting. I shot EJ a look. He snorted, “Oh yeah….it was like a dream to them, but they don’t remember what was said.” 

Peter asked, “So…you can heal wolves….Dylan said trained you could heal more.” Dakota asked, “Why did you pick Eric and Alexander to heal?” Dylan snorted, “Good lord….just stroke LSGAP’s ego some more.” I linked EJ, “What’s the new letter? He was just SGAP.” EJ linked back, “Legendary.” I laughed out loud. Melanie answered, “Well, Freya said we could heal Alexander because he’s our mate, and Eric was the most logical choice. He’s very known for his fighting skills. Between the two of them…it would be under control quickly.” I felt my dad’s amusement. Dylan snorted, “Oh MelAshley….it’s ok….we blame Drake and Sam for having such a logical smart child. It’s really their fault….Speaking of…let’s go back to this adopting Ashley Griffen discussion.” Drake growled, “STOP trying to adopt my daughter.” Dylan snorted, “Uhh did you get hit on the head? I asked Ashley Griffen…your daughter is Melanie McAlister….get your ears cleaned out. It’s becoming a problem…we’ve all mentioned it.” Drake growled, “THEY ARE THE SAME PERSON!” Dylan smiled, “Not in the eyes of…the legal system.” I rolled my eyes. 

Sam walked over and pulled Melanie into a hug. She kissed her on the forehead. T asked, “Ladybug, how do you feel about this?” Melanie shrugged but didn’t answer him. Jase said, “Mel?” She said, “I’m happy I shifted, and I was able to be marked by my mate and mark him back. It’s cool what Freya and I can do…it’s also overwhelming.” Drake said, “I would like to make something abundantly clear…Dylan said he has sources who said you called yourself a freak because drugs don’t work on you.” Melanie turned red. Drake growled, “You are not a freak.” Melanie shrugged, “At the time….I had no idea why Silver and Wolfsbane didn’t work on me. They work on partial werewolves….my mind did not jump too….well it’s because I’m the white wolf….from the story Tristan told me at a bonfire once…yup that’s obviously what’s going on.” Ben said, “So you went with being a freak?” Melanie raised an eyebrow, “What word would you have used?” Ben said, “Awesome….unique…..wonderful.” Melanie snorted, “Not exactly common words to describe me these last few years.” Ben growled, “So? Who the hell cares what other people say?” Melanie stared at him, “You live with a group of people who hate you….who take every chance to hurt you…to tear you down physically and mentally, and tell me that some of the words they say to you don’t stick.” 

I winced. I could feel my mom’s agreement with Melanie. Peter asked, “We need to protect Melanie.” Melanie snorted, “You are WAY too late on that decree, Alpha Peter.” Tristan Sighed, “Ladybug….” Melanie said, “What? He is! He’s not my Alpha anymore. I don’t live in his territory. I needed that protection about six plus years ago. Now…what can he do? Black Mountain doesn’t need extra warriors around here. In case you all haven’t noticed, I am PERFECTLY capable of protecting my damn self all on my own.” Jase growled, “We are GOING to protect you. You need help.” Melanie snorted, “You have NO idea….” Sierra said, “Mel….” Melanie gritted her teeth. Addison said, “Mel, when was the last time you had some food? You shifted and got marked….you should eat.” Ben said, “Nice try girls….we aren’t done talking.” Melanie snickered. Paige crossed her arms and snarked, “Did anyone say you had to stop talking, Ben McAlister? No. We are trying to take care of our friend. You know, YOUR granddaughter.” Zoe walked into the living room with several sandwiches. She handed Melanie a plate. I raised an eyebrow. Zoe nodded at Dylan, “Dylan said we’d probably need food at some point.” Dylan clapped and pointed at my dad with his index finger. He yelled, “IN YOUR FACE!” My dad snorted, “Right…you out thought me here because my children or my wife couldn't snap everyone food.” Dylan put his fingers in his ears, “LA LA LA…I can’t hear you…..and your logic…you bragging overly large LSGAP you.” 

Melanie sat down on the love seat with her sandwich. I sat next to her. My mom said, “Well….what’s the gossip? Someone here has to know…I’ll bet you do, Eric.” Dylan snorted, “Of course he does.” My dad nodded to Caleb. Caleb said, “Eric had me monitoring anything said….basically the other side thinks the goddess came down to fight them. Some people believe them…some people believe they are full of s**t and making it up to cover their losses. Those that believe have started to travel this way to make a request that EJ, Alexander, Emmett, and Jayden let them hunt around for the white wolf.” Drake snarled, “HUNT?! They are planning to hunt MY DAUGHTER?!” Caleb nodded, “I don’t think they want to hurt her, but that is the world being used.” I felt Melanie’s annoyance. Sierra snorted, “That would be a little funny….they had NO idea…. What they would be up….” Addison cleared her throat. Sierra quickly stopped talking. Melanie wasn’t looking at anyone. Drake growled, “What are you talking about?” None of them spoke. Melanie eventually asked, “Paige, do you know what the witches and warlocks used to take everyone’s powers and wolves away?” Paige opened her mouth but she was cut off by an angry growl. 

Ben McAlister stood, “ENOUGH! I have had ENOUGH of the secrets….My granddaughter is the white wolf FROM A LEGEND! She ELECTROCUTED people. You all have your secrets. Fine. But when you start a goddamn sentence….FINISH the sentence for the love of god! WHY am I getting the sense….my granddaughter has been hunted before? SOMEONE give me some of my sanity back, and tell me I’ve lost my marbles…that my thinking is not what you were implying at all.” My jaw dropped. Paige rolled her eyes. Sierra was looking at Melanie. There was a clear apology in her eyes. Addison answered, “All the wolf less in our former pack were hunted by a chosen group of the pack members with wolves….six months after they didn’t shift.” My dad growled, “What chosen group?” Addison said, “A group of fifty warriors and the leadership of the pack. It doesn’t tend to last long….the wolf less ended up getting patched up by the pack doctor….it stopped after ....” Ben said, “Please just finish the sentence.” Melanie said, “After me. It stopped after me because I was better than them. I was the lead female warrior. I told them anyone they tried to hunt…they’d have to try to hunt me again because I would stand in their place as was my right as a leader in the pack. They didn’t want to hunt me again.” Drake asked, “Why? How was your hunt different….other than they obviously took longer to hunt you down.” Avery snorted, “She kicked their asses. They were all in the pack hospital, and technically…she won. She picked them off….slowly. They’d find someone hanging by their ankle from a tree beaten up…people knocked out…She even put a massive group of them unconscious in the main yard…and they still couldn’t find her.” 

I had many emotions about this. Pride…anger…and a serious desire to beat the s**t out of all of Black Path again. Paige snorted, “Trevogre was the best one she did…by the way Haley…I LOVE that nickname.” My mom smiled, “It’s what I do.” EJ asked, “What did Ladybug do to him?” Melanie snorted, “Ask him….and make him tell the truth….he’ll be SUPER pissed off…it will be fun for you.” Drake asked, “Just telling us, isn’t fun?” All of my siblings answered him, “No.” Dylan snorted, “The partial fairies have spoken. So it is decreed….Say Kingly creepy ninja assassin….How does one sign up for tickets to a show in your realm…I MUST hear this story.” Uncle Bjourn didn’t say anything. Elise stood, “Ok…well you all feel free to keep talking. I’m stealing the girls. We will be back.” Tristan asked, “Uh why?” Elise smiled, “Ask Everly.” He frowned, “She’s with Kai.” Elise smiled, “Oh? Are you sure about that?” She winked at him and grabbed Melanie. Ben asked, “Why can’t we ever finish a conversation around here?” EJ stared after Elise as all the girls followed her upstairs. Eventually he said, “She did say they would be back.” 

Nick Kyle spoke, “Serums that counteract all types of poisonings specific to different supernatural’s and a white wolf….a resistance group….Forgotten packs….when the hell did the world go to s**t? And simultaneously get really cool at the same time?” Dylan snorted, “It’s been awesome going on twenty-six years…ever since our goddess entered our lives….it sparked the chain of events…because the universe is cruel it also went to s**t at that same moment because we have to thank LSGAP for that….seriously…My goddess LITERALLY drove herself here…because of a treaty about their marriage.” My mom sighed, “I didn’t know you all ran f*****g patrols at the time.” My dad squeezed her, “And I am very glad about that. You could’ve teased me by making the whole territory smell delicious.” My mom laughed, “That would’ve been really f*****g funny.” Dylan snorted, “Yes it would…do me a favor…and have a ribbon Haley do that please and thank you…The memo writes itself….LSGAP chases smell all over his territory…like a crazy person…..GET YOUR TRANQS READY WE’VE LOST HIM!” My dad growled. Wes groaned, “Oh crap.” 

I asked, “What?” The girls all walked back down. My jaw dropped. T and Jase yelled, “NO f*****g WAY! YOU ARE NOT WEARING THAT!” Melanie was in a one shoulder black crop top with a tight black skirt that came to her upper thighs with shiny sequins on them. EJ growled. Elise was in a snakeskin top with skintight light brown leggings. My eyes scanned the group. Cassie winked at me. Oh good. Elise spoke, “Melanie is an adult….she can wear what she wants.” Melanie was picking at her skirt. I laughed, “Did she pick that?” Elise smiled, “No, I did…but she’s wearing it. Doesn't she look good?” I nodded. EJ asked, “Where exactly is it that you think you’re going?” Elise raised an eyebrow, “It’s on your calendar EJ….it has been there for months.” EJ looked at Toby. Toby gaped, “Elise….You can’t be serious…I mean….we were attacked….Melanie is the white wolf…we need new protocols…and…” Elise snorted, “We do not let the ring think they rattled us…ever.” My mom said, “She’s right.” Elise continued, “Melanie has been taking care of herself for years…I think she can handle girls night.” 

I growled, “Girls night where?” Toby smirked, “Yeah….tell him where Elise.” Toby sat down and crossed his legs. Phil wasn’t looking at me. Elise said, “The girls are all meeting in Yellow Hills to…” I yelled, “NO! Absolutely not!” Elise raised an eyebrow, “I am not asking. We are going.” Drake said, “Elise….” Peter said, “Sweetie…..you can’t think this is a good idea.” Elise crossed her arms, “Why not? Caleb already said no one who is not an ally knows the white wolf is Melanie. If we don’t go….then it looks like we are scared. People might think we HAVE the white wolf. Alexander chased her.” T said, “Or they might think….your wolf was messed up from a drink and you needed to rest.” Elise shrugged, “Why take the odds? Melanie said it would be less than half that believed it was about my wolf.” I asked Melanie, “Is that true?” Melanie looked at her shoes, “Based on how the supernatural world gossips, and how the pendulum of things swing….Elise has plans….they’ve all had plans for months….the ring clearly has spies that are watching what you do….it would get out…and people would wonder.” 

Drake said, “You didn’t have plans, Melanie.” Elise snorted, “Of course I would invite her. She’s basically my sister, and she did have plans. I told her about girls night on Wednesday.” Cassie offered, “My guard is coming.” Jase snorted, “To guard you. They don’t give a damn about my sister.” Paige said, “Your sister is perfectly capable all on her own.” Dalton frowned, “Paige….your powers aren’t back.” Paige shrugged, “In case you didn’t notice…I held my own.” Melanie winked at her. Dalton sighed, “I did notice that.” Ben said, “Are you a bunch of saps….SERIOUSLY considering giving into this?” Dakota snorted, “I think you’re about to yourself…join the saps that is.” Dylan howled with laughter as Esther McAlister walked into the room. She crossed her arms. She said, “Ben, your daughters have been looking forward to seeing their niece all week. They are already there waiting for the Black Mountain group to show up. Would you like to call them and tell them that you’re trying to keep a twenty year old woman from attending a club…owned by Chase Daniels…in our allies territory home locked in her mates room?” 

I interjected, “It’s our room but sure….” Esther raised an eyebrow at me. Ben sighed in defeat. Esther said, “You all can plan while they go out.” She squeezed Melanie’s hand, “Have fun dear.” Elise squealed, “Quick Cass, pop us out before they change their minds.” They popped out. Jase, T, and Drake looked at each other. Drake said, “I don’t recall changing my mind.” Sam sighed, “She’s an adult. She’s basically been without supervision or needing permission…for six years.” Peter hadn’t spoken. EJ was worriedly looking at him. My dad said, “Angel, we need whiskey….so much whiskey.” I snorted and walked outside as a full glass of whiskey appeared in my hand. I downed it. EJ came out and sat beside me in the yard first. He said, “How are you doing?” I laughed, “My mate….is a literal legend….a white wolf…I did mark her…so that’s awesome.” T snorted, “No talking about marking my sister.” Jase sat down, “Seconded.” EJ snapped me another drink. I held up my glass, “And you all thought the fairies entertained you…now your sister is a legend our parents told us about. Cheers everyone.” Everyone looked around then started to drink too. This had been the best and strangest day of my life so far….Those seemed to keep coming lately.
