The Alpha Prince And His Silver Lone Wolf

At the mansion of the interim leader, fully packed with men in suits.

Both Malia and Melody were standing beside the big boss.

After announcing that Melody may take the role of overseer once her father becomes the stand-in president while the election amongst the heads of each family within the -Hunters' Association- have not yet held an official election.

Due to the influence and achievement of Melody's father, he was immediately considered to take the lead for the association while there has been no official decision yet.

Leadership amongst the hunters is an important factor to keep everyone intact and synchronized with the objectives of the association.

As everyone cheered for the father of Melody, Malia was feeling disappointed for not being appreciated at all.

Even though she was only adopted by the father of Melody, she worked hard to earn his affection and his affirmation.

Something within her that keeps wanting to be part of a family, this was one of the reasons why Malia always wanted to impress the father of Melody.

Instead of rejoicing along with the supporters of her father, Melody was whining and pouting because of the unexpected announcement of her father.

-Moments after the announcement-

As soon as everyone left,

Only the immediate circle of Melody's father remained, including the two daughters.

"Boss Tony, when are we going to the main headquarters? If you are requested to take the leadership while the other heads of the family sort out the election for the official presidency of the association." One of the high ranking members of Melody's father.

"Soon as we prepare our men and my allies from other families." Tony replied.

"Why are we preparing much? Is there something we should prepare for a long haul? Will the Vitre Family undergo something significant?" asked by another high ranking member seated next to the father of Melody.

Vitre Family headed by Tony is rising quickly amongst the ranks of hunters.

In the Hunters' Association, there are different houses that trains and shelter hunters.

Each house is led by a family which is headed by someone, known as -Boss- of the family.

A scheming smile could be seen from the expression of Melody's father, all the remaining high ranking members in the room looked at each other. 

Trying to discern if there is a meaning behind his smile.

"You will find out soon. Just remember, whoever stays loyal with me will be greatly rewarded. And those who will betray me will not only be kicked out from my family but will also suffer the consequences of their betrayal … torture before their death!" A cold and threatening reply of Tony.

Some of them gulped and showed nervousness because their boss has a reputation of being unforgiving and brutal against his enemies.

They also looked at Malia who was also known as one of the precious weapons of their boss.

He attained great respect from the association and had good reputation. 

Not only because of his skills and connections but to the contributions of his daughters as well.

Firstly, Melody is a well-known singer in the human society. Her voice is not only enchanting but dangerous as well. Her father utilizes her abilities and popularity whenever he needed it.

Utilizing her popularity, sponsors and fandom as part of his bargaining chip in some other transactions and deals.

Lastly, Malia is a powerful half dark witch. Her powers was extraordinarily superior to other witches. No witches could beat her in power and strength. She is feared by other hunters because of her skills and powers.

Everyone was aware with Malia's loyalty to her adopted father. Thus, he uses Malia as he strong arm those who attempts to go against him.

Tony adopted Malia for his personal advancement within the association and not because of affection towards her.

Unlike Malia, who only wanted to be accepted and be part of a family which she could call her own.

"Malia … just make sure everything is set for our travel to the main headquarters. Contact our allies and remind them about the offer I gave them." Tony strictly instructed Malia.

Then he suddenly softened his tone when he spoke to Melody.

"And Melody, sweetie! Why have you not updated me about your recent travels? I feel like you do not love your father anymore." Tony trying to guilt trip his daughter.

From that moment on, Malia saw the difference of how a father treats his real daughter compared to an adopted one … someone like her. 

She excused herself along with the other high ranking members.

It was apparent how different the treatment of Tony towards Malia and Melody, despite being called his daughters.

<*>-<*>-<*>-<*>

Hours after the special meeting with the father of Melody …

Melody went back to her room.

Her room is shared with Malia. Due to her request, she wanted to be together with Malia.

She always has considered Malia as her real sister.

As she entered the room, Malia was standing by the balcony of her room.

So, she hurriedly approach Malia. 

Hugging her from behind.

"Why are you standing on your own here? Are you lonely, again?" Melody genuinely expressed her concern towards Malia.

The night was cold but bright under the moon.

Malia was silent and her sadness could be felt by those who truly care for her … like Melody.

"I just wonder … if there is someone or anyone who misses me. Having no recollection of my past and any memory of my own life before I met you and Tony. I cannot seem to stop thinking about what if's and what might have been. Do I have a family of my own but I just could not remember?" Malia shared her thoughts to Melody.

"Are we not your family, Malia? Am I not enough? I thought I am your favorite in the world." Melody ran back inside and pretended to cry while covering her face in the bed.

She was basically trying to manipulate Malia within her palms through empathy. 

Getting through Malia's emotions and making her feel obliged to care for her more as she supposed to be. She knows that using Malia's own words will be more effective to keep her around.

One of the fears of Melody was Malia leaving her like her mother. She was told by her father that her mother left her because they were not rich or influential enough. Her biological mother was known to be a siren who loves riches and only wants fame. 

She got her powerful and enchanting voice through her mother but her transformation has not yet occurred to her.

That is why, Melody always tries her best to keep Malia bound to the promise of staying. Because for her, Malia was like a sister already that she cannot afford to lose.

"Oh … Melody! You have everything already. A father you can call your own but me … I don't. I just want to have a family too that I can say my own. That will accept me for who I am and what I am … no matter what!" Malia went after Melody and sat beside her.

As she tries to appease and comfort Melody, through her touch.

"Just promise me you won't leave me like my mother. Please, promise me whatever happens you and I will be together!" Melody hugged Malia tightly.

Unexpectedly, some familiar voice kept ringing in Malia's mind.

'Promise me! Promise me! Selene … promise me …'

A cold shiver surged around her senses and her heart started to pounce like never been before.

"Mal ??? Mal … Oh, my God! MAL!!!" Melody exclaimed at the sight of Malia hyperventilating and sweating a lot.

Melody panicked as Malia passed out.
