Caleb flopped onto the bed and put his arms over his eyes. Jace sighed and leaned on the door. "Well, I'm gonna go call Gabs and make sure she is okay." Caleb nods and listened to the door shut. He sat up and reached for his phone, but he suddenly felt tired.
Caleb stood up and scratched the back of his head. Maybe he should call tomorrow, he thought about it, then nodded. His wolf, Camden, agreed. He took a shower and put on a pair of sweat pants and kept his shirt off. He slowly walked to the bed and laid down.
As he closed his eyes, he saw a figure standing in the moonlight.

Caleb opened his eyes. Melodi was looking down at him. "Caleb." She whispered. The wind was blowing her ponytail. Her skin was growling in the moonlight. "I want you to do me a favor, okay?" She whispered.
Caleb nodded. "Anything." He said softly. Melodi gave Caleb a small smile and took his hand. "Take care of Ethan, as if he is a wounded wolf in your pack, care for him the way you know I would." Caleb raised an eyebrow.
"Aren't you gonna be there?" Melodi didn't respond. Caleb sighed and nodded. "I will take care of him, I promise." Melodi looked into his eyes. "Thank you." She leaned down and kissed him softly on the lips. "This is the bond between your promise to me, if you break this bond, then I will kill you." Caleb was too buzzed from the kiss to say anything.
Melodi stood from the bed and gave Caleb another small smile. "And one more thing Caleb, I did love you back." And just like that, she was gone.

Caleb sat up and took a deep breath. Surely, that was just a dream. So why could he still her lips on his? Suddenly, a breeze came into the room. Caleb looked over to the window, which was open. He raised an eyebrow. That wasn't open when he went to bed.
That's when Caleb realized that it wasn't a dream.
Melodi really was there.
And she did kiss him and tell him she loved him.
Then, a knock came to the door. Caleb got out of bed and put on a shirt as he walked to the door. "Hello-" He froze at the sight of the figure at the door. Lullaby smiled. "Missed me?"

Paris was sitting at the desk of Caleb's, when his phone rang. He sat up and reached for it. It was Caleb. "What's up boss?" Paris said as he picked up the phone. Caleb kept his eyes on Lullaby. "Hey Paris, turns out, we will be coming back a day early." Paris sighed in relief.
"Thank the Moon Goddess, man one day was enough for me, how do you handle it?" Paris said. "It takes years of practice. Well, umm I just wanted to tell you that." Paris raised an eyebrow and watched the door. "Is everything okay?"
Caleb responded. "Yeah, just a little tired." Paris nodded. "Alright man, see you and Jace tomorrow." Caleb agreed and hung up. Paris stood up and walked to the door. "Something's not right." He whispered.

Melodi walked to the headstone of her auntie and sighed. Zaria said she would stay by the gate. But then again, she was never one to go to funerals and go to grave sights.
She kneeled and put a new batch of flowers onto the ground. "Hey auntie." She said softly. The wind caressed her skin, for she was burning with anger and sadness. "I won't be visiting you for a while, but I promise to send flowers." Melodi put two fingers to her lips and put them on the headstone.
That's when she saw the name Mrs. Lola Michaels. She stood from her position and walked over to the grave. "You know, he is the only one who visits me out of all my children, and he seemed to be quite in love with you." Melodi looked to her right and saw the lady that she met at the camera shop.
"This is you, your Caleb's mom." The lady smiled, showing off her dimples. "Guilty as charged." Melodi looked back down to the headstone. "My son wanted me to help him, help him find his answer, but he didn't know that you were his answer all along." Lola whispered.
"I use to love him." Melodi saw Lola shake her head slowly. "You still love him, your just torn, your little hybrid friend has saved your life more than once, and to be honest, he is just as broken and bruised as my son, but all Caleb wants is to hear you say that you forgive him for his mistakes, and that you love him."
Melodi looked up to Lola, Caleb's mother, the lady who told her to make him smile more, and teach him the love that he forgot existed. "What about Ethan?" Lola nodded and looked up to the night sky, full of stars. "He just wants you, when your auntie took care of him, he only showed his vampire side, then you show up, and he is now showing off the magic, the wolf."
Lola looked at Melodi. "You don't know it, but you have just saved two lives, and the promises that you made with the two, that was sealed with a kiss, will keep them together, so even though you seem to be leaving, they will take care of each other, just like you wanted, they won't hate each other anymore, and they have so many memories of you, it will last them a lifetime."
Lola smiled. "Melodi Richardson, you are an angel in disguise." Melodi looked at the gate, where Zaria was waiting. Lola followed her gaze, Zaria was kicking rocks and looking up at the sky. "And that girl right there, will use the power that you have for evil, if I were you, I would get rid of her as soon as possible."
Melodi looked down to the picture of Lola, she was smiling, happy. "And that girl that Ethan has, is not the one for Ethan." Melodi kept her eyes on the portrait. "Who is?" Melodi looked at the white rose. "I think you know." Lola whispered.
The wind blew and Melodi closed her eyes. "He is just my best friend, he sees me as a hybrid that needs protecting." The wind stopped suddenly, "Now we both know that this is not true, and just for a moment, think about it, he is right now in the arms of someone he doesn't want, and the one he does want is leaving, and might never come back."
Melodi put her head in her hands. "That's not what he was thing when he was in bed with her." Lola sighed and kneeled beside the girl. "That's because he was trying to prove to himself that he doesn't see you the way he was suppose to, he loves you hon, and right now, waking up and not seeing your face first will be the worst thing that he will experience."
Melodi opened her eyes and looked at Lola. "Melodi, you have to keep an open mind about this, you are leaving behind not only two people that desperately need you, you have a family, two packs, and a little girl that is intertwined in your life so much that you would love to be with her now."
"And think about it, if Ethan woke up and came here, asking you to stay, would you? Because your silence tells me you would."
Tears stung Melodi's eyes. "And being with that girl will get you nothing but killed, and tortured." Melodi's mind jumped to the memory of the when she was captured by strangers that put silver on her skin, tortured her, just so they could reach Ethan.
Melodi screamed in pain.
"WHERE IS HE!" The figure yelled at her.
She kept quiet.
"Maybe we should let you suffer."
The silver was placed in Melodi's side.
She cried out.
"You can't save him Mel."
"Maybe it's time you see that."
Melodi sighed and nodded. "But she is my best friend, she would never try to hurt me...." Melodi looked back at Zaria, who was no where to be found. "Where did she go?" Melodi whispered. "Maybe you should go see for yourself." Lola put her ghostly white hands on Melodi's.
Melodi stood up and took one step, before looking back at Lola. "How come I am the only one who can see you?" Lola smiled. "I can be seen by many, but only the people that have a link to me can see me and hear me." Melodi nodded. That made sense she guessed.
"Well, goodbye Mrs. Michaels." Lola rolled her eyes. "You think I am just going to let you go alone, I may be a ghost, but I can call on sleeping bodies that are stronger than the moons pull to the tide faster than you can imagine."
Melodi laughed and nodded, walking to the gate, following the scent of Zaria.
But that was a big mistake.
