Book:Delta's Rejected Daughter Published:2025-2-19

When I walked into the courtroom, all eyes once again turned toward me. I was escorted to the witness stand once again.
“Dutchess Melanie, you are still under oath to tell the truth. Please be seated,” stated Judge D’Amato.
I sat down not knowing what I walked into so I took a deep breath to steady myself. Ms. Dagastino walked toward me to ask me a question with a pensive look on her face.
“Dutchess Melanie, thank you for being here once again. Dutchess Melanie, we just heard testimony that you investigated who was at fault for the escape of Michael Halstead when the transport was assaulted. Is this correct?” asked Ms. Dagastino.
“Yes, that is correct,” I replied.
“Why did you investigate who was at fault?” she inquired.
“The U. S. Council was trying to lay blame for the escape of Michael Halstead on the Brookwood Pack’s doorstep,” I replied honestly.
“It was not the Brookwood Pack’s fault for his escape?” questioned Ms. Dagastino.
“No, it was not. When I was told about the assault on the transport. I asked who ordered the removal of then Prince Michael from our dungeons to the Royal Pack dungeons. Then I proceeded to inquire who planned the transport, whose guards were used, and who planned the route,” I answered her.
“What were you told?” she asked me.
“I was told that the U. S. Council decided-in a 4 to 5 vote to move then Prince Michael to the Royal Pack Dungeons when I was in the pack hospital with my mate. Elder Lee was the one who ordered his assistant Maurice Perkins to assign council guards to transport him to the Royal Pack. Mr. Perkins chose the route they took as well,” I answered her.
“What went wrong with the transport?” inquired Ms. Dagastino.
“I would not have chosen the route because it had too many isolated areas. It was perfect for an ambush. Also, according to the report, the guards didn’t put up much of a fight. Blood samples were not taken from the deceased guards to see if they were drugged or impaired prior to the transport. There were too many ‘variables’ that did not add up properly when you looked at the big picture afterward,” I explained to her.
“I see. Did you find anything else out from your investigation?” asked Ms. Dagastino.
“Yes, I did. The then Elder Lee was paid by Doyle Kessler. He was behind the escape of then Prince Michael,” I answered her truthfully.
“Thank you for being here today Dutchess Melanie. I reserve the right to cross-examine her at a later date,” declared Ms. Dagastino.
“Your witness Mr. Franklin,” commanded Judge D’Amato.
“Dutchess Melanie, thank you for being here today. Dutchess Melanie, how do you know it was Doyle Kessler who was behind the escape of my client?” demanded Mr. Franklin.
“I found the money trail. I found the offshore bank account tied to then former Elder Lee,” I answered him.
“Former Elder Lee? I don’t understand. He isn’t an Elder any longer?” questioned Mr. Franklin.
“No, he isn’t. I was unconscious at the time but was told of it afterward. He was stripped of his title and banished to a remote location by Alpha King Matthew based upon my findings,” I answered him.
“What findings are those may I inquire?” Mr. Franklin asked.
“I am not at liberty to say. I am under an Alpha command not to disclose that information. It is not directly tied to this case,” I answered him truthfully.
“Your honor, I demand an answer,” sniveled Mr. Franklin.
“Sustained, Mr. Franklin if she is under an Alpha command not to disclose that information, then she cannot disclose that information. Now move on,” commanded Judge D’Amato.
“Yes, Your Honor. Dutchess Melanie. What were your findings pertaining to former Elder Lee in this case?” asked Mr. Franklin.
“In this case, he ordered Maurice Perkins to set up transportation from the Brookwood Pack to the Royal Pack of one then Prince Michael. He chose the guards and the route,” I answered him.
“So how does Doyle Kessler figure into all of this?” demanded Mr. Franklin.
“It wasn’t until after the escape of then Prince Michael did the council asked me to dig deeper into then Elder Lee and Maurice Perkins did I found the connection to Doyle Kessler. The rest of the information is what I cannot divulge,” I explained.
It was then that Michael started to breathe heavily and look at me with such hatred. Before we knew it, he toppled the table he was sitting at startling Mr. Franklin and everyone else. Michael let loose a roar.
“Stop! Silence! DO NOT MOVE!” I commanded Michael in a voice I’m not sure where it came from. I’m not sure when I moved but I found myself directly in front of him. “SIT DOWN! NOW!” I commanded him. My aura was out in full force. I acted without hesitation or before anyone else could.
Without hesitation, Michael sat down. “Do. Not. Speak.” I commanded him. “Nod your head if you understand me.” Michael nodded his head yes like a bobblehead figurine. “HOW DARE YOU DISRUPT THIS COURTROOM IN SUCH A MANNER! You will sit there and not move until you are told to do so. You will not speak until you are told to do so. Nod your head if you understand,” I commanded him. Again, he nodded his head like a bobblehead figurine.
I took a step back to assess the situation in the courtroom. I haven’t noticed the situation until now. My aura had everyone but my family, Alpha King Matthew, and Alpha Queen Diana with their necks bared in a submissive manner. I reeled in my aura so that everyone could right themselves again.
“My apologies Your Honor if I overstepped my boundaries,” I apologized to the judge for my actions just now.
“No apologies Dutchess Melanie. Thank you for taking control of the situation. Bailiff, take Michael Halstead out of the courtroom and back to the dungeons. We are in recess for the day. Dutchess Melanie are you all right?” inquired Judge D’Amato.
“Yes, I am okay. I was worried when the table went flying that others would be hurt. I just acted out of instinct. Is everyone okay?” I inquired as I looked around the room.
Everyone nodded their heads ‘yes.’ Looks of pride were on the faces of my family, Alpha Richard, Elder Hawkins, Alpha King Matthew, and Alpha Queen Diana.
Anthony sent me ‘You were so hot just now. I can’t wait to get you alone to show you just how turned on I am. You are a badass,’ in our link.
I couldn’t help but blush as I shook my head. Anthony came over to me and engulfed me in a bear hug. ‘I love you,’ I purred in our link.
‘I love you too,’ he purred right on back as he kissed me softly on the lips which elicited chuckles throughout the courtroom.
“Melanie, I believe we need to get you home so you can rest. Also, I believe you will need to eat something,” commanded Mom in her tone that left no room for argument.
“Yes ma’am. I am more than ready to leave here. Just lead the way and I will follow,” I declared with a gleam in my eyes.
‘Melanie, your aura is strong. When did it get so strong?” inquired Uncle Friedrich in our family link.
‘I don’t know. I thought it was always like that,’ I truthfully answered him.
‘Girl, you did good! You really put him in his place! I’m so proud of you!’ gushed Sophia.
My family continued to sing my praises while we made our way back to Uncle Vladimir’s villa. I just wanted to get as far away from the Municipal Building as I could get. Uncle Vladimir had lunch waiting for us when we got there.
After lunch, I wanted to take a nap after I took care of Austin. Mom thought that was a good idea considering the drama of the morning. After Austin was taken care of and down for a nap, Anthony was feeling frisky. He was still turned on by my badassery from this morning. He couldn’t wait to show me just how turned on he was so he started kissing me.
Truth be told, I was getting turned on just by his kisses. Yes, being pregnant makes me extremely horny. When he starts kissing me, I am extremely sensitive in certain places and I am on sensory overload at that point. Anthony wanted to ‘show me’ how turned on he was but it was me showing him. I couldn’t wait any longer.
I had his back against the mattress. His shirt was already off and I was already kissing down his massive, muscled chest. I could tell he was enjoying it because of his moans. I found his nipples-I kissed, licked, and sucked at them before going down his luscious muscles. Every dip and curve just begged for my attention. They demanded to be touched, licked, or kissed while I made my way down to his family jewels.
‘My love, you are teasing me. I need you now! Let me take you,’ demanded Anthony.
‘Patience my love. I still have to properly undress you. You still have on too many clothes for what I want to do to you,’ I professed with a wicked grin on my face to which Anthony only groaned.
I unbuttoned his pants, then unzipped them the rest of the way so I could take them off along with his boxer briefs. Oh, this man of mine has the body of a Greek god. Before I rejoined him on the bed, I stood before him and took my clothes off while he watched me with a goofy grin on his face.
Then, I slowly let my hands travel up his legs as I let my tongue find its way to his dick. I started to lick him from his balls to his head. He took a sharp breath when I did that. I knew he liked it when I did that to him. I started to lick him like an ice cream cone and when I put my tongue inside his head, he almost came undone.
He didn’t let me finish, he grabbed me and put me on my back in a flash. ‘Baby, I can’t take it any longer. I’ve got to have you now!’ cried Anthony as he entered me hard and fast. He began to pound inside of me with a rhythm that was fast and furious. He needed a release quickly. I didn’t realize just how turned on he really was until now. Poor baby was desperate for a release and I was determined to give it to him. We both came quickly and with such an explosiveness I had never felt before. Wow! This was … Wow!
We held each other in the afterglow for a few minutes. Then we drifted off to sleep for our afternoon nap. We definitely slept good this afternoon.
