Ungodly Hour by Chloe x Halle

********

[-Fashion Week Venue-]

Prince Ivan was a known fashion designer amongst the humans.

Though, the hunters' association has a profile of Prince Ivan as a werewolf.

Within the Hunters' Association, they have plethora of profiles of supernatural beings living amongst the humans.

One of the things they had to make sure was the monitoring of every supernatural being living within the cities of humans.

Hunting becomes activated as the standard protocol once a supernatural being becomes a threat to the safety and lives of the humans.

No matter who they may be, all humans were treated as an innocent ones.

Any supernatural being are not allowed to harm any humans and must only have the permission or supervision of the Hunters Association when they initiate an attack against any human.

For Prince Ivan to be around humans and live normally may have to do with his good set of reputation amongst the humans.

As Prince Ivan waited in his seat patiently, he looked around at the grandeur and modern setup of the preparation of the runway event.

Seeing how the preparation was meticulously prepared.

To make it trendy and fascinating.

Some of the invited guest could not help themselves but be at awe with the entire ensemble and preparation invested for this certain event.

Even high profiled and influential individuals were invited and expected to attend the fashion event.

"Have you heard? Melody is expected to perform live during the runway of the models."

"Isn't she one of the most popular singers this year? Woah! This event has truly spent so much for their event. Imagine whole week program set for their advertising campaign of the new batch of designs of their clothing and lingerie."

"For tonight, it's all about their dresses. Can't wait!"

Some of the conversation could be over heard by Prince Ivan.

Unintentionally, there were conversations he was hearing nearby.

Petals of flowers started to fall from above like confetti. As part of the theatrics of the beginning of the live performance and runway show.

The light of the event began to change into the appropriate mood of the runway show and live performance.

Indeed an impressive turn of events and theatrics were taking place.

A voice over began to set the beginning of the official event.

Then, there Melody and a familiar woman wearing a fashionable veil covering her face.

Due to the transparent and light color of the fashionable veil, Prince Ivan was starting to wonder who it was.

Because of the inconsistencies on the lights around the event.

(Note: Kindly play Ungodly Hour by Chloe x Halle while reading this portion to maximize the experience of the imagination of this scene.)

Melody initiated the start of their live performance.

The way that it went down, that's when I knew >

Malia began to sing the first verse of the song.

Along the way Melody was harmonizing with her voice.

Exchange of duet moments and harmonizing were mesmerizing everyone in the audience.

When they began to sing on the part of …

One model after another wearing fashionable dress started walking on the runway.

Graceful models …

Full of confidence …

And amazing catwalk was being exhibited by each model.

Instead the focus would be on the clothes.

The performance of Melody and Malia was overshadowing the designs of the brand.

Each member of the audience were like enchanted from the blending and harmony of their voices.

…

…

Both were having the perfect performance that any humans could see.

Most of the staff and members of the Vitre Family did not expect for Malia to have such beautiful voice like Melody.

Malia was completely different when she was singing.

Her tough and fierce personality softens into a graceful and sultry appearance.

While Melody transforms from being sweet and childish into a commanding and sassy vibes when performing.

As they reach the chorus part of their song,

Both lifted their respective veil and exhibited their own version of a confident catwalk in the runway.

Unaware to one specific reaction, the moment they walked as they performed their song.

Prince Ivan was shocked to see Malia.

"Noooo! It can't be! S-Seeleeene …" Prince Ivan uttered in his shock.

It was as if he saw a ghost.

Memories of her flashed into his mind.

But the woman she was witnessing in front of him has a different scent and has a black hair with a platinum blonde strands on her bangs.

…

…

As their performance ended, everyone stood up for them.

Giving them a standing ovation.

Applause were being given.

Immediately, Prince Ivan went his way to the backstage.

He did not waste his time clapping or cheering for the performance of Melody and Malia.

There was one thing he had in mind.

"I must know! Was she alive all these times? Is she really Selene? Why? How?" Prince Ivan was telling to himself as he made his way backstage.

He wanted to clear all these questions.

On the other hand, while he could not wait to find answers to this questions, Malia and Melody were having a moment.

It was a surprising turn of events for Malia as well.

She overcame her fear.

As she was singing and performing, the fragments of a certain memory suddenly cleared.

The same handsome guy filled with regality and virility.

Smiling at him as she sang some certain song.

For a moment she could sense her nervousness and struggle but the words of Freddie took charge in her mind.

'Do not fear!'

'Let it all fall into place!'

'Just sing and perform!'

Then things became just naturally alright.

After their performance ended, everyone was congratulating and praising Malia.

"Oh my God!"

"You are so great!"

"That was amazing!"

"Wow! You have an astounding voice!"

Some of the compliments given to Malia.

She was being surrounded by different members of the organizing staff and other individuals who just witnessed her impressive performance.

"What did I tell you? You would do great!" Melody hugged and marveled at Malia's performance.

Overcoming one's fear was indeed a worth it experience to go through.

Satisfying …

Gratifying …

And fulfilling!

Booth also complimented and congratulated Malia for her performance.

Freddie went to see Malia as well.

When he was about to hug Malia, it was interrupted.

Someone intervened their moment.

"Is that you, Selene?" Prince Ivan uttered.

The rest stopped from what they were doing.

"Excuse me?" Malia responded.

A shocked reaction from Prince Ivan.

Everything flashed into his mind.

The days they mourned for the supposed death of Selene. Especially, his older brother who is now the new Alpha King.

Devastated at the loss they thought happened. But seeing Selene well and alive. Brings hope for all of them. This was something that could actually make things better for the Alpha King.

Confused to what led for her into hiding ... That's what he thought!

"We thought you were dead! You were alive after all … It's me Ivan!" Prince Ivan exclaimed.

He was about to approach Malia but both Freddie and Booth stopped him.

"I am sorry, I don't remember you. Who are you?" Malia asked.
