James POV.
A week has passed, a full week now, I went over the plan with Ryan and Logan ten times already, they know they can do it but they are also worried about failing me and her, they could never fail, they are the ones I would trust with my life, and I know she would do, as would the alpha. I had a call with the alpha, I couldn't leave the house, I couldn't risk her needing any kind of medical attention with me gone, instead, we had a video call, I showed the alpha the girl, I never thought I'd see the ice queen that's our alpha crying, until that day. She didn't cry, she was frozen, a tear shining in her eye, but nothing else, she looked shocked, happy, scared and worried, my wolf felt the urge to bow its head, to howl to the moon, to show his alpha compassion, her pain was our pain, and we couldn't take it."Do you know her name?" the alpha asks me, I shook my head no, we all knew it was her sister, or we had our doubts, but we never dared to say it out loud, what if we had the wrong girl, what if it wasn't her."Her name is Melody," the alpha says, it is her sister."I promise alpha, I'll do everything in my power to heal her," I promised her."I trust you, James, I do..." she says ending the call, I wasn't sure if this would scare me more or push me to help her.I called my two nurse boys, calling them in, we had the alpha's approval to push to the next step, we now also have a name for our patient, it's better than simply calling her baby or patient, calling her by her name is another step to help bring her back."How's Melody doing?" I asked Ryan, he was the one on shift for now."Melody?" he asks sharing a look of confusion with Logan."It's her name, the alpha has assured it to me," I say, giving them a moment to be shocked and confused, I was too, but we need to get back to work."We've taken her off the morphine," they answer me, we need her in a twilight stage to be able to reach her subconscious with their soundtrack. I went to her room, I checked her injuries, the bones have healed, the stomach worms were gone, the ear inflammation have gone down, it was time to wake her up."Pull the medication down another notch," I order them, seeing Logan mess with her IV, it's the nurse's job, better than having me ruin their hard work, we all knew our job and we did it well. It only took her an hour to start waking up, the medication was done, but not enough to allow her to shift back to her wolf form no matter how much she wants to, we gave beta blockers to stop her from doing that. The sedative was strong enough to make her feel paralysed, it's the most humane way to wake her up, she's in a strange place, she's away from what she claimed to be her territory, she's under three stronger person control, this would be ugly.She screamed, that was the first time I heard her voice, it was horse and rough, loud screams running through the room, she was afraid, terrified, no one blamed her, I tried to talk to her, to wait until she calms down, but to no use, she kept screaming out loud. Not wanting to push her any farther, I nodded to Logan, telling him to push the medication back in, they had her out in no time."Not the best first impression," Ryan says trying to soothe the room."Maybe one of us should try first?" Logan asks, but having them try would only encourage her to show her dominance over them, little space or not, we need her to be on the submissive side."No, we'll try again in a bit, turn the meds down," I say, waiting for her to wake up again.As I got closer to the bed, she was laying down, and she kept on screaming, I didn't like playing the role of the big bad wolf, but it's the only way to show her who's in charge.My face started to shift and change, my teeth got longer, my blue eyes got deeper in colour, and even my aura shifted into a more dominant one.I'm now showing her my alpha side, the one that got my two boys to look down avoiding my eyes. The girl in bed growled at me, she didn't want to submit, she wanted to be the one in charge, not me a total stranger."I'm the one in charge here," I growl at her, my aura over dominating hers, but she didn't want to give in, she refused to give in."It's time to submit," I tell her again, my aura was starting to hurt her, she was squirming on the bed tears started to fall down her face, all signs of being in pain, but she was stubborn, refusing to give in."Sir," Logan says, he and Ryan are now on the ground, my aura was affecting them just as much as her, but they submitted to me, but it caused them no harm."It'll get worse before it gets better," I say, we all knew that this is just the first step of getting to her, but the girl wasn't giving in, no matter how hard I pushed her, she still shook her head refusing to give in. Since we both refused to give in, the girl ended up blacking out, her body was too weak to keep on fighting, so she just slept in now."This won't end well if she keeps on fighting you," Ryan says, we need to find a way to make her submit."We'll need to break her and then build her up again," I says, this was part of the plan."Keep her under for the rest of the day, keep the soundtrack on," I order the two boys going toward my office to write down the note of today, of what we haven't achieved, it's also a chance to have a drink and try to come down from today's failure. It's just a step back, Melody had a personality that matches her hair, but she's an angel, I knew we could reach to her, maybe not today, but tomorrow.Logan POV. Every day it's the same again and again we've been doing this for over a week now, every day she woke up, every day she screamed, every day James would try to push her into submission, it wasn't that easy for her, we were keeping her sedated enough to be awake giving her the slighted control over her limbs, but not enough to leave the bed. The look in her eyes was shifting, it was different. She looked angry, she looked on the verge of breaking, I wasn't so sure if pushing her any further was a good idea, but it wasn't my call, although I did make sure my opinion was heard around three am this time. "Today we're going to try something new," James told us both this morning, we all noticed the change in her. "As alpha Thaila put it, monkey sees, monkey does," he says with a smile, we both turned to him confused what? "What would the monkey do?" Ryan asks, he got it? Cause I didn't. "It's when someone copies another person, you won't jump a cliff unless you see others ju
Ryan POV. She finally gave in, she submitted to us, well she did to James, and a little bit to us, she stopped crying now, she's not moving much, she could move her hands and legs a little bit. She tried to kick me earlier today when I went to change her, we have her dressed in the hospital gown, with a pad set underneath her. "That's not nice Melody," I scold her, but she only growls back at me, we keep on calling her Melody, it's her real name but that doesn't mean she's answering to it, she doesn't remember maybe? We're not sure what's going on in her head, but we do know she's almost ready for the second step. "Growling isn't nice either, if you play nice I'll talk daddy into allowing us to get you out of the clinic," I say, the clinic was the first stop, a place that's clean and sterile to heal all of her wounds, as a wolf she heals much faster than humans. She doesn't answer me this time, not a growl, not a bite, instead, she looks at her IV, which means she does understand
James POV. Step one was done, Melody is now healed, she's getting used to being touched, picked up and set down and the biggest progress was real food, even if it was only a couple bites of her food, she did eat. Before I can allow her full motion and movement of her body, we need to take advantage of her statue and start bonding with her, before she could run and hide, or fight and kick us not listening. Hopefully, she won't try to bite the head off the person who's reads her stories, she would listen to us, she does understand what we say, she growls and huffs and puffs in answer to most of my comments, not liking to obey. Right now I have fed her and she's hanging out with Logan with a kids show running on the tv for her, hopefully it would keep her entertained and help her communication skills, while I was in my office, finishing today's paper work. "How is she doing?" Alpha Thaila asks right away on the phone, I report to her every time we do a new step. "She started eating
Logan POV. She broke my heart, they knew she was breaking my heart with her crying, with her screaming, although we have given her sedative, she was crying during the night, she woke up a couple of times, she's fighting our medication, her body was gaining back it's strength and using the said strength to fight us. When I saw her cuddling with James, I wanted that too, not to cuddle with him, I get to do that the whole time, and would get the chance to cuddle him again later, but her I never got to cuddle her before, even when I lay next to her, we always keep a small distance between the two of us, worried I might hurt her or trigger her off. The night was terrible for all of us house residents, Melody cried and screamed, James forbade any more sedatives, we can't use stronger sedatives while we're trying to get her off them. We wanted to push her into starting to move again, their progress was getting ruined this night, the screams and crying didn't stop. We all took turns sitti
Ryan POV. I told them it was a bad idea, I told them not to allow her to move yet, she got something in her head, the cause of her sickness is a trauma, something happened to her. I asked around in the hospital where we used to work, I was told the alpha, our current alpha Thalia, she's a cold bitch, but she's a good alpha, she'd never hurt any of her pack mates. Don't get in her way or she might slap you here and there, but other than that, she's a good alpha, but the people who were in charge before her, the one before her, her parents, they were bitches, true to the word bitches. They abused the pack, they abused their powers, and almost everyone around here hates them, they are the reason alpha Thalia is the way she is, but what about the younger sister, while Thalia was busy taking care of the pack, fixing what has been done, Melody was raised by them, nobody knew anything about her, only the close pack and family members knew things about her, how she got sick was a mystery to
James POV. I saw her hugging Logan, I was happy about that, but I was also worried about her reaction to me, it was one slap, but I had to get to her someway, I couldn't take her throwing tantrums the whole time. I know my move might have not been correct, but now it's time to make amends with the sad baby. "Melody, you can't just keep hugging Logan, why don't you come and sit with me?" I tried, trying to get her to come over, but she just hugged Logan closer. I left the room and went to get her something special, I went back to her room, the one we got ready for her, she only slept a night there and didn't have enough time to explore everything around here. I chose one of the stuffies, we got her tone of those, all of the stuffies are soft toys, too worried she might hurt herself or someone else, mostly me, since I'm the most hated member for now. The stuffy I chose was just a pink teddy, it wasn't that special in my eyes, but for her, it's the first teddy, the first teddy is alwa
Logan POV. Things are going so well, Melody is back to being a happy baby, we're going toward the correct way, we all knew this now, she cuddled with James, and she finally gave him her trust, or at least she's starting to trust him, she allowed him to hold her and even read her stories. We're moving toward real big people food, I wasn't sure why we skipped the baby food that's filled with her medication, instead, we went toward the real food, it's more delicious, I agree with her, but now the medication has to be given in other ways. "You like your food?" I ask her, Ryan cooked the lunch, and I did the dinner, we all sat down to eat dinner with her, she's been eating on her own the whole day, but now, this would go as a family meal. We all had our seats and started to eat, Melody had a small smile when she saw us two sitting down to eat with her, I wasn't sure why she was enjoying this, but it was a good thing that she was enjoying, no matter what the reason is. The day was going
Melody POV. Things are weird, things are confusing, I don't know who am I anymore, I'm hurt, I'm broken, I'm sick, I'm darkness walking on two legs, but then they came, before them, before this, all I knew was me being a wolf, I was a wolf. Let me explain what being rogue feels like, anger, anger, pure rage, I was angry at the world, at first I knew who I was angry at, I tried to remember names, there's more than one name, I loved those names, I wanted to remember them, keep them in my head, to go back to being me. But then the names started to fade from my head, I couldn't remember the name of the people I'm supposed to remember, there are people I care about, there's one I love and want, but then they disappeared, Love, a very distant feeling. What came next was the rage, you think you knew anger before, you might be angry when someone cut's you off, when someone cheats on you, when your parents don't love you, you might hate people then, but that's nothing, it's a dote in the s
