Melanie's POV
Maddy took over completely. I sat in darkness at the back of our mind. I didn't want to see what was happening. All I can think about is what Justin will think of us. This is the main reason why I never let anyone talk to Maddy before. She wasn't always so vicious.
*Flashback*
Maddy was in control, and everything was fine. We were chasing a butterfly when we heard a noise. Maddy decided to check it out. Walking over there, someone jumped out and attacked us. Maddy went into attack mode and bit down on their tail and yanked them off us. Without giving them a second to breathe, she jumped on them and had her teeth around their throat, ready to rip it out. The person below us shifted back to human form their neck still in between Maddy's teeth. "M-Melanie. Please, it's just me. I'm sorry." 'MADDY LET HER GO!' Maddy did as I said. She gave me full control back too. Lilac fell to the ground holding her neck, there were light marks, and one part was slightly bleeding. I changed back into human form and bent down beside her. "I am so sorry, Lilac. I let Maddy take over, and she thought you were a rouge." Lilac turned and looked up at me, a small smile graced her lips. "It's okay, I know I accidentally scared you. I didn't mean too." We both ended up laughing it off, but what happened next will forever scar me.
'Lilac, don't run that fast, I can't keep up without letting Maddy out.' Her light brown wolf turned its head back and laughed. 'Well, you gotta keep up, let her out.' I hesitated, debating it, but in the end, I let her back in. 'Maddy, don't do anything please.' All I got was a huff in return. I have shoved to the back of our minds once again. But I was on edge this time. Nothing should happen.
Everything was fine until I heard a scream slice through the connection. 'MELANIE!' I pushed my way back to the front, and I saw what laid in front of me. Five dead wolves. By the scent, I could tell they were rouges. 'Mel-Melanie?' I looked over, and there sat Lilac against a tree, her arm was bleeding. Changing back, I lunged over to her, "Lilac, did they get you?" She hurried away and looked at me in horror. "No Melanie, you did this. And you killed them all." No... I couldn't have. Looking back at the bodies, I couldn't move. Lilac's arm was terrible, she was going to have a scar from it. And from that point on, I refused to give Maddy full control. I will never hurt another one of my friends again.
*Flashback ends*
I was reminiscing and lost track of what had happened, but I knew I was being shoved back by Maddy. 'Wh-what? You're giving me control again?' Maddy slowly moved, she ended up curling up in a ball before her voice reached out to me. 'I'm sorry I hurt your friend before. Mate was hurt and needed protection. I did what I needed to, now go to mate and reassure him. But if he does not accept me, I will leave.' Shocked was the only way to describe me at this moment. She cared about other people, not just me. 'Thank you, Maddy, maybe we can have some alone time and let you control us.' She yipped in response. That was a good sign. This means Maddy is starting to reel in the bloodthirsty part of her.
When I finally came back around, I saw the three bodies surrounding me. I jumped up and searched for Justin. That's when I realized I was in his lap. "Justin!" We were leaning up against a tree, and my head was in his lap. I met his eyes, and they were wide; fuck I knew this was going to happen sooner or later. Looking down, I played with my now covered in blood clothes as I spoke. "I'm sorry I never told you, my wolf went too far one day when I was younger, and from then on, I could never let her take over completely, but I needed her help right there I would not have been able to take care of them without her help. I just wish I could have told you, but I couldn't. I don't trust myself, and I just can't, I just." I got cut off by a hand. More importantly, it was Justin's hand. I looked up at him once more, and this time his eyes were filled with amusement. "Melanie, I know about you and Lilac in the woods with the rouges. I'm Alpha now. After all, I know of everything that happens on my land." He reached out and gently caressed my cheek, "There's nothing you can do that will make me stop loving you. I fucked up initially, and we are working on this, but you will never lose me. It's a lot harder to do that now, sweetheart." This man is going to kill me with his words. I pushed forwards and landed my lips on to his. Maybe it was a little harder than I imagined because I tasted a metallic taste in my mouth a few seconds afterward. Justin smiled against my lips and pulled away. I laughed when I saw his lip busted open, "Maybe a little too rough?" He shook his head. "Never." I think I am starting to love this man. It's going to be a bit till I let him know that, but yea, just maybe I'm slowly falling for this goof.
We both sat in silence for a little while till Justin laughed out loud randomly. "Why did you just laugh?" My face squished into confusion while I looked up at him. "The border patrol was sweeping by here and alerted me there were rouges… They smelt their blood and told me." Are you fucking kidding me? "No, I'm not fucking kidding you. I told them we took care of them." I couldn't hold my laughter at this point. It had been a long time since I laughed. When I finished, I had tears spilling out of my eyes, and Justin was staring at me in awe. "Wh-what?" "You look so beautiful when you laugh. I am now going to make it my mission to make you laugh at least twice a day." He's a freaking weirdo. Why must he be all cute an shit? Damn, why can't we just stay in this place/time? It's all just peaceful, and nothing is bothering us. This is perfect. I don't ever want to leave. But obviously, this time does not last long. Peaceful times never last long for me.
