Novels by Melody Tyden

Brax's POVI wasn’t sure I had heard Maxim correctly. We had only discussed the first thing we were going to do if Serena decided she wanted to be with both of us. After that, he had vaguely said we would do whatever felt natural. But now he was holding Serena up in front of me, his cock in her ass, his fingers in her sex and inviting me to join in.I wasn’t even sure how I would do that, but I guessed that he would provide direction. So I got up on my knees as well, my cock hard again at the sight of her. Maxim told Serena to put her hands on my shoulders and then he put his hands on her hips and lifted her up so she was suspended in mid-air. She clung on to me as I positioned myself in front of her and pushed my c

Maxim's POVSerena and I walked side-by-side back into the ballroom. I wanted to hold her hand, to put my arm around her, to show the whole world that I loved her and she loved me. But we were still in Brax’s pack, where everyone knew her only as his mate.And in the end, it didn’t matter what anybody else thought. I knew the truth. That was enough for me.I caught Brax’s eye as we re-entered the room. He raised his eyebrows at me questioningly. He knew what I had wanted to talk to her about. I had told him before I told her. He had been so generous, so understanding in sharing Serena with me, I didn’t want to do anything behind his

Serena's POV“Oh my God! He is the cutest thing I have ever seen.”I smiled as the fiftieth person of the night exclaimed over Orpheus in his tiny tuxedo. It was two weeks after the hunter had come to the pack house, and Brax and I were throwing a dinner and dance for the pack to thank them all for helping us to protect Maxim.Everyone who had inhaled the silver dust was now out of the hospital. Amelia and I had learned a lot about what the silver did to the lungs, and we were working on devising a more efficient treatment at the same time that Brax and his team were trying to figure out how to defend against it in case someone ever tried to atta

Maxim's POVI stood with Brax and Serena in front of the pack house as the motorhome came up the drive. Brax’s wolves in their bullet-proof vests were spread out through the trees along either side of the drive. They were out of sight, but the hunter, Mason, wasn’t stupid. He would know they were there.I had been in plenty of tense situations before. Normally I didn’t really care whether I lived or died, and that indifference usually gave me a competitive advantage. But now that I had finally found my consort, I wanted more time. Time to get to know her, to enjoy her company, to teach her everything that I had learned. But I also meant what I had told Brax. If it came down to a choice between my life or Seren

Brax's POVIt was mid-afternoon the next day by the time our preparations were finished. The vulnerable members of the pack had all gone to the bunkers, as instructed. My team and everyone that was ready to fight, nearly three hundred wolves, were all gathered in front of the pack house. Serena was beside me, ready to defend the pack with me.I was about to give my final instructions when I saw Maxim briefly appear in the drive and then disappear again. I turned to Serena to ask if she had seen him as well and she was staring at the spot. I turned back and he appeared again with a large crate. He staggered slightly away from it and grabbed on to it for support.

Serena's POVOnce Maxim had left, Brax returned to his office to continue to coordinate the pack's preparations. I went to Dakota and Damian's room. My sister had been watching Orpheus while I was away and I wanted to spend time with him now before she took him to the bunker to keep him safe.“So that was your vampire, huh?” she asked as I settled in to a chair with Orpheus in my lap. She had been at the pack assembly, of course. “He's pretty cute.”I thought of the things Maxim had done to me. Cute didn't seem the right word for him. “He's interesting,” I agreed. “He's been around a long time, over eight hundred yea

Serena's POV“Are you ready?” Isabel asked, poking her head in the bedroom door.“I think so,” I said, turning around. Her hands flew to her mouth.“You look so beautiful!” she cried. “Brax isn't going to know what hit him.”He had gone to get ready in Damian's room, not wanting to spoil the surprise of seeing me at the ceremony.I turned back to the mirror. The dress that Brax has chosen for me fit perfectly, and though he didn't know it at the time, the strapless neckline showed off my wolf perfectly too. Nobody was going to miss it.We made our way down to the ballroom. I could hear the chatter of the crowd. The whole pack had been

Brax's POVWe rescheduled the mating ceremony for the following weekend, ten days away. I brought Serena home and cared for her as she recovered. She kept telling me to go to work but I couldn't be away from her.On the following Monday, she'd finally had enough. I came to our room with her breakfast but she was already up and dressed.“What are you doing?” I asked, putting her tray down.“I'm going to Princeton to see your office,” she said. “You can either come with me and get some work done, or stay here on your own.”She wore a cowl neck top that showed off her mark. Though she seemed proud to display it, I still hated the sight of it. I didn't think I'd ever be able to see it without remembering her unconscious form as they lifted her out of t

Brax's POVDamian pulled up to the emergency room doors, tires squealing. Some medical personnel were waiting for us with a gurney. “We're here, Serena,” I told her, squeezing her hand. There was no response.“Serena?” I said again, my breath catching in my throat. She didn't say anything.The door behind her head opened and several pairs of hands lifted her out of the vehicle. I scrambled out after her, feeling useless. I saw one of them lift her eyelids and shine a light in her pupils.“How long ago did she lose consciousness?” they asked me.“Just now,” I stuttered. “She was talking to me a minute ago.”They started towards the door, calling

Serena's POVI was still feeling the waves of pleasure from my orgasm wash over me when there was suddenly a sharp pain in my neck. It took me a moment to realize what was happening. I could feel Finn's breath on my shoulder, his head against mine, his hands holding me tight. But it was only when he pulled back that I understood. He had marked me.I tried to raise my hand to my neck, but he pulled it roughly away and licked at the wound. Maybe he thought that would stop the bleeding. But I knew it wouldn't.“Brax,” I called out shakily. “Help.”The hands holding me released me and I fell to the bed. I grabbed my neck, feeling the blood trickle through my fingers. I rolled over and Brax was looking at

Brax's POVOnce everyone was seated, I stood up, pulling Serena up beside me. I wanted everyone to see her in that dress and to remember that she was with me. I didn't have a word for what I was feeling, it was a strange mix of pride and possessiveness.I welcomed everyone to the festival. Our whole pack was here, of course, as well as some visiting wolves, mostly children of our pack members who had mated and moved away, but were back to celebrate the holiday with their parents. I thanked my team for their hard work in putting the festival together. Then I outlined the other festivities that would be taking place over the weekend.“Last week I introduced you to my mate, Serena Baker,” I turned to smile down at her. “I would like to invite the whole pack to join us tomorrow evening for ou

Serena's POVI put the mating ceremony dress back in the closet and hung up the few clothes that I had brought with me. Then I grabbed my hair and make-up bag. There was a small vanity and dressing table in the closet as well that I assumed was for me. I set up my things there and tried to make myself look as glamorous as possible.I was almost done when I heard the door open again. “Serena?” Brax's voice called.“I'm in here,” I replied. “Wait there. I want to make an entrance.”I could hear him chuckle. I stood up and checked myself again in the full-length mirror, then took a breath and walked out to meet him.He was standing by the door with an amused smile on his face, but it faded as he got sight of me. I did a little spin so he could see me from all angles. His mouth hung open slightly but he didn't say any

Unknown POVI watched as the car drove up with Serena inside. The man was with her. Brax. I'd learned that was his name. I'd learned a lot about him. About them both. About their vulnerabilities.It had taken months for me to track her down once I'd discovered her name. But now that I had, I was ready to make my move. Ready to let her know what I had in store for her.They got out of the car and started to head towards the door of the house. I saw her turn her head in my direction, subconsciously. She knew I was here. She just didn't know that she knew.I let her go inside. I didn't want him there when she met me. I would deal with him later.I found a place to wait in the trees where I could see her bedroom window. I saw her come to the window and look out at me. If she knew what was looking for, she might have seen me. But she didn't

Serena's POVI put my hand on Brax's knee to calm him. I could tell he was nervous. “They're going to love you,” I whispered.“Serena!” my mother called. She and my dad walked in to the room, and Brax and I stood to greet them. We were in a private room at a restaurant in Albany for a get-to-know-you dinner before our wedding the next day. It was the first time they were meeting Brax and he was eager to make a good impression.I gave them both a hug and turned to introduce them. “Mom, Dad, this is my fiancé, Braxton Evans. You can call him Brax. Brax, these are my parents.”“It's so nice to finally meet you, Mr and Mrs Baker,” Brax said.I turned to the other person in the room. “And this is Damian, Brax's best man.”“Mr and Mrs Baker,” he greeted

Brax's POVI could see the competing emotions on Serena's face, her joy, her hope, her fear. She wanted so badly to believe me, but she was afraid that it was all going to be taken away from her again. But I had no doubts. I came out of the bathroom, saw her in those pyjamas looking as beautiful as the night we met, and it was like a floodgate opened. Months of memories came rushing back to me all at once.I remembered everything. I remembered her.I moved to her now and swept her up in my arms, her feet leaving the ground. I kissed her hungrily. It felt like I hadn't seen her in weeks. And in some ways I hadn't.Her mouth met mine with equal passion. I spun her around and we fell onto the bed, her on top of me, our mouths never losing contact. I grabbed the hem of her top and pulled it off over her head. Her beautiful breasts fell again

Serena's POVIt had been two weeks since the night of the fight. I had moved back into the pack house but Brax and I were taking things slow. I was staying in the guest room across the hall from his room. It felt like when we were first dating, except that I had an advantage because I already knew much more about him than he knew about me.It was strange to be with him. At times it felt almost like before as we talked and laughed. But then he would say something, or I would make a reference to something that had happened, and we would remember that he still didn't have any memory of our time together.Without telling him, I had put our wedding plans on hold. I knew he didn't remember asking me to marry him. Maybe eventually we would decide to go ahead with it but I didn't want him to feel pressured to do so.I still hadn't told him I was pregnant

Brax's POVFinn chased Kyron's scent, followed by the pack. He passed through miles of carnage. Kyron had brought a lot of wolves with him. Our allies had defeated them, but there would be a lot of cleaning up to do later.Finn ran for almost an hour, well off our territory, followed by the pack. But eventually the trail went cold.We need to go back, Brax, Damian told me by mind-link. We've lost him.Finn howled in frustration. After all this time, I thought we finally had him. But I knew Damian was right. There was nothing more we could do tonight.We set off back to our home and I realized that we had left Serena in the woods. Did she know how to get back to the house? Why hadn't I left someone behind to take care of her?I told Damian to take the pack back to the house while Finn picked up his pace and

Serena's POVI could feel the cold metal blade of the knife against my neck. It would only take a small movement of Maya's hand to cause a cut that would be fatal. I tried not to move an inch.The scene in front of me was like something from a horror movie. There were wolves everywhere, some living, some dead, and some halfway in between. Blood was spattered across the snow.“Alpha Braxton,” the man next to me called out. “I can see you are stronger than you let on. But I think you might be willing to negotiate with me now.”A large grey wolf stepped forwards, his eyes on me. It was Finn. He looked at me with such tenderness, I felt certain that he remembered me. Then his eyes changed to grey and he shifted to Brax's form. He stood up, his naked body looking vulnerable. I could see he was bleeding from his side.
