Novel & Cerita Forbidden Odd Melody

One of the rogues finally spoke up again, voice low, almost hesitant. “That melody…” he trailed off. “It’s the one Draven’s late wife loved to play. Especially during bath time. She actually composed it specially for him.” I stood, stunned. “His late wife?” “Yes,” another rogue whispered, almost afraid to say it. “It hurt him… too much after she died. So, every time someone tried to play it. He just couldn’t bear it, and later on banned it completely. That’s why no one’s played it in years.”

He welcomed me into his pack and offered me a job despite everything, despite my more than awkward circumstances. I could not ruin this chance to start over from scartch by going after the Beta’s daughter, could I? “See you tomorrow, Mr B,” Billy, my mate’s best friend said in parting, raising a hand in goodbye. “See you then,” I nodded at him. Melissa, on the other hand, merely said, “Bye bye.” In a way, it felt like she couldn’t wait to get rid of me. That night, howling to the full moon, I felt freer than I had been in months. Like a burden had been lifted off my chest… when truth be told, it was quite the opposite. I had one more obstacle to my plans. One more burden on my damned shoulde

"Handle the arrangements. We leave in an hours." As I walked away, I could feel Maya's eyes following me. I tried to ignore the strange protectiveness that had flared up when I saw her being mistreated. This was supposed to be a simple transaction—an omega for an alliance. Nothing more complicated than that. But something about her frightened, defiant eyes suggested this arrangement might be more complex than I'd anticipated. The drive back to Bloodmoon territory would give me time to remember why emotional attachments were dangerous for someone like me. After all, in less than a year, she would be dead anyway.

Lilly continued to play, the melody evolving into "Triquetra," the piece she had composed for their bond. As the music surrounded them, the phantom sensation intensified, creating a perfect circuit of energy between the three of them. In this moment of harmony, their concerns about Amali's transformation, the mysterious darkness, and the challenges ahead seemed to recede. What remained was the certainty of their connection, a bond blessed by the Goddess herself, strengthened by music, and now protected by unexpected allies.

It doesn't look like something that belonged to my family either. She finds the small silver key on the side and gives it a slow turn. The mechanism groans for a second, a dry, metallic protest, and then the music begins to play. It’s a haunting, melancholic melody—a lullaby that feels like it’s being pulled from the bottom of a well. The notes are slow, crystalline, and oddly discordant. The moment the first few bars hit the air, the world tilts.

Because of one wrong door. My phone buzzed in my clutch on the table. I lunged for it, but Dante was faster. He snatched it up, glancing at the screen before I could. His expression hardened. “Give that back,” I demanded, reaching for it. Our fingers brushed. Electricity shot up my arm, and I yanked my hand away like I’d been burned. What is wrong with me? I wanted connection, not this forbidden pull that made my skin tingle and my moral boundaries feel paper-thin.

I stood there awkwardly near the doorway, completely unsure how to draw his attention toward me properly. I remember I was told to initiate to show willingness and if he doesn’t like me, I could get a strike. 3 strike and I am out and would be needing to refund the eighty grand, I can’t do that when spending it was worth it. So, a crazy Idea pop in, I pick a grape in my mouth and gently remove his newspaper, his eyes found mine as I sat on his lap, I place it at the tip, watching him slowly want to take it.

She showed him that nothing was truly ever forbidden. THE END.

"You do?" "Yes",Melody said softly. She turned and her red eyes stared deeply into his. "I know it's crazy, I met you a day ago and yet I'm having this forbidden feelings for you". "Why do you say forbidden?", Xavier asked. "Is it because of the curse?". Melody didn't reply but she nodded. Xavier looked up at the clear sky and the spectacular water fall. He would savour this day because when Serena returned with the sword, they would head back to Red City. They still had a war to stop.
