The Alpha Prince And His Silver Lone Wolf

[-In a fashion event-]

Days after Freddie forced himself into Malia's life.

They kept discussing whether it was a good idea to let Freddie stick around Malia while Melody was preparing for her performance in the runway.

"Will everyone leave the dressing room please? Me and Malia will have to discuss something important." Melody requested from everyone in her assigned luxurious dressing room.

Clothes set up with plenty of options to choose from …

Mirrors that can let 5 people utilize its purpose …

Lavish food on the table like there was a feast inside the room …

And fragrance from an expensive perfume filled the dressing room of Melody.

Both Melody and Malia argued about Freddie's sudden presence in Malia's life because Melody could not trust Freddie.

Most of all, Freddie appeared suddenly into their lives claiming to be part of her past which gave more reason for Melody to worry because this could lead to something which may separate her from Malia.

Not much on him being untrustworthy but him being part of Malia's past which Melody was not part of.

The worst case scenario and most dreaded moment that Melody wanted to prevent at all cost.

For Melody, Malia showed more care and affection than her father could give her.

President Tony Vitre may be her biological father. But Malia made her feel that someone cared for her and loved her unconditionally for who and what she is.

More than just a mere daughter but as a person entirely.

Being cared at and genuinely showered with affection.

Bonding together, being taught how to believe in her own self when even herself … could not.

Malia had a huge influence in Melody's life and growth as an individual.

This was a rare bond that Melody had even just for some few years.

Because Melody grew rapidly over the years. She did not grew like any normal humans.

It was difficult for her to mature quickly despite her body maturing only within the span of 4 years.

Her father explained to her that her mother was a supernatural being.

Not specifying which specie due to the fear that Melody may try to look for her mother on her own way.

What made her not attempt to look for her mother was the reason that her mother chose to leave them because President Tony was poor and a burden at the time she was born.

From being a ten year old … within only 2 years, her body developed into an 18 years old.

And now … she may appear as a woman in her 20's but in reality she is only a kid in her 10th year.

"Melody … will you stop being a brat for a second? And try to understand my situation." Malia's plea to Melody.

"Oh … I am a brat now? Is it really that bad to be … concerned with you? All these years no one showed up or went looking for you. And now … suddenly! One after another … they kept popping up like it is sooo easy to just accept everything and enter back into your life just like that. I am just worried for you! But hey, I am a brat … what do I know?" Melody ranted while checking her things.

"Melody … PLEASE! You should know more than anyone else … how it feels to be left out? To have no one by your side. Saying that they are related to you, that you are important … but deep inside, still empty … still on your own … drowning in sorrow and the void that won't stop haunting!" Malia emotionally pointed out to Melody.

She even continued but in a calmer tone in her voice,

"And now … I have the chance to clear up that void. To stop feeling empty! That feeling when there is something or someone I am missing sooooo much and I don't know what or who. IT IS KILLING ME INSIDE! SWALLOWING … my entire sanity." Malia started to tear up in front of Melody.

"I-I … thought … I could be enough to fill that gap in your heart." Melody felt disappointed after hearing Malia's inner feelings and thoughts.

"Can I fill the void that your mother left in your heart?" Malia's striking retort from Melody's disappointment.

Before Melody could even reply another word.

Malia continued, "We both know, you are still longing for your real mother! And I cannot fill her place, no matter how much I try. My presence is not enough to occupy that entire void left in your heart as well. The same as the void inside my own heart."

Someone knocked the door, forcing the two ladies to wrap their own argument.

Malia wiped her own tears before facing the staff who just knocked.

"Yes?" Malia asked.

The staff was feeling apologetic but she had to intervene.

"I am really sorry but we have a problem Melody … Regarding your performance, the director and the CEO needs a moment with you." the staff conveyed the message tasked for her to do.

"It's okay … we are actually done here!" Malia's reply to the staff before excusing herself out of the room.

…

…

To unwind from the intense argument she had with Melody regarding Freddie's sudden entry into their lives. Malia decided to go to the rooftop of the venue and get some fresh air.

Looking at some gleaming lights during the night brings comfort to Malia.

As soon as she gets out from the elevator door.

Someone tried to sneak from her side.

Immediately, through her natural instincts.

She swiftly defended herself and knocked over the one who was foolish enough to sneak up on her.

Not using her powers was her only way to avoid someone getting hurt.

-Thud!-

"Oh, Freddie! It was just you …" Malia realized it was only Freddie.

"Ow!" Freddie complained.

Malia tried to help Freddie to get back on his feet.

"Damn, Selene! You may have lost your memories but let me tell you … your fighting skills and prowess are still sharp as ever." Freddie reminded Malia her about her past self.

"Haven't I told you already?  While my memories have not yet returned … you will call me Malia … not Selene!" Malia reiterated to Freddie one of the agreements they had before letting him stay with her.

"I am sorry! So … Malia …" Freddie chuckled at his own words. "Sorry … still trying to get used to this new persona in front of me."

Only silence was Malia's response.

Eventually she kept looking at the bright lights of the city from a far distance. 

Creating this scenery at night which calms Malia's mind whenever she tries to look at it.

At the same moment as Malia tried to calm herself.

Freddie looked at Malia with deep glance penetrating her soul.

"You still like the calmness that the lights give you at night. Like some hope in the middle of darkness." Freddie uttered in a cool manner.

It amused Malia because it was exact the same feeling she had when looking at it. 

She never told anyone about it … even Melody.

"How did you …"

"You always loved it. Georgie told me when one time … your anger disappeared after looking at some bright stars above. Since there is no stars tonight, I guess the city lights would do." Freddie explained.

Seemingly confused …

Freddie explained further, "Georgie is my younger brother. He is closer to you than both of us. You treated him like a younger brother. I must say … you were more of a sibling to him than we both could be. He would be happy to know that you are well and alive."

"So you guys thought I died … why?" 

"You just disappeared and never heard of you again. But before I go further and get asked with many things about your past. I just want you to know something …" Freddie became serious and nervous at the same.

"What is it?" Malia wondered.

The rogue werewolf took all his courage in saying those words he always wanted to tell Selene.

"I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU!"
