Melissa's PovA loud alarm went off in my head, I closed my eyes with trembling lips as I tried to figure out what just happened, the pain I felt on my face was so unbearable that I became speechless at the moment, my eyes fixed to the table."Nelson, what have you done?!" I heard Conri let out in an angry tone but I couldn't look up. The slap caught me unawares and it felt like a loud sound kept ringing non stop in my ears."Stay away from this Conri! This is none of your business!" Nelson fired at Conri with deep fury."It is my business Nelson, you should not have laid your hands on her, you don't have any right" Conri spoke back, this time, his voice was subdued with deep rage.Hot tears welled up in my eyes,I tried so much to prevent them from falling. I was never expecting Nelson to hit me,so hard that I felt my face paralyzed, my jaw hurts so bad.The more I tried to prevent the tears from rolling out, the more they came in folds. With this, I didn't want Nelson to see me this
Melissa's POV"What are you talking about?" I asked as I found my voice to speak up.I let go of his grip around my wrist, "What problem? Clearly, I don't understand why you need me for anything, this is your pack and needing a human for whatever help is not acceptable" I fired, anger slowly began to rise in me."Will you just give me a listening ear for once Melissa" Nelson spoke out looking very frustrated. He rubbed his forehead so roughly that I thought he was going to bleed."Listen to me Melissa, me getting my title as the Alpha is at stake here""And what does that have to do with me?" I raised a brow staring at him."Everything Melissa! Everything! The elders insist that everything between us should be fine before I can get my coronation and you get yours. They refused to plan the coronation stating that Alpha and Luna had to show that they do love each other. Of course, I don't want anything to do with you, your face alone disturbs me but right now, my coronation is at stake
Melissa's POVThe sound of chirping birds filled my ears accompanied by the fall of a mighty waterfall.I opened my eyes only to find myself laying at the foot of a very tall tree, the bright sky shown right back at me.Confused, I slowly got up to my feet, my eyes still lurking around as I wondered where I was at that moment.The last thing I could remember was almost being killed by the man who got attacked by Nelson but here I am in a strange place, a place I have no knowledge of."Where am I?" I asked myself scanning the place. In front of me flowed a mighty waterfall which went deep into an ocean right in front of me. The path I stood on was overwhelmed with trees. The whole place looked so strange to me that I couldn't point out where I was.There was no one at sight, the sun was up giving me enough light to see through. Although I could hear the sound of chirping birds, there was no bird at sight,a realization which confused me the most.Not wanting to waste time pondering, I be
Melissa's Pov"Are you alright Melissa?" Anabelle asked, her face overwhelmed with so much worry that she didn't take her gaze off me.I was so mute and it felt really hard to utter a word. Slowly, I turned only to find Conri watching me and not far from where he stood was Nelson, his sharp gaze not leaving me too."What happened?" I was very confused and I tried to sit up. "You have to relax Melissa, you bleeded" Anabelle stopped me from getting up, "You need to rest, you was almost killed by whomever invaded this pack and found his way to you"I still couldn't utter a word, gently,I noticed a heavy weight on my head, slowly, I touched my forehead only to figure out that a bandage was tied around it just to prevent the blood that trickled down my face.I had so many questions lingering in my head, questions that needed immediate answers."Where is he?" I suddenly asked."Who?""The man who attacked me, where is he?" Implored again, more aggressive this time.I saw the puzzle expressi
At first, Nelson didn't move but scanned me with that intense stare of his. I know damn well that he is surprised at my words.Not saying a word, I heard the door open and he walked out.Alone, I took a deep breath with closed eyes. The dreams I had kept playing non stop in my head. First, it was the appearance of a wolf who chased me down into a pit and my encounter with a very beautiful woman who looked like she needed help. And now, another strange dream of a small house deep in the woods with there's individuals planning for the death of Alissia, a name the stranger called me.What is my connection with these dreams?I don't know all these peopleI am Melissa, not Alissia!There is something going on that I have no knowledge of, it is so clear but I wonder why all of these didn't manifest when I was living back then in the human world. Why now that I am mated to an Alpha, what has my life become now that I just couldn't think straight.I tossed, unable to rest, the stranger words
Nelson's PovThe room fell dead silent, my eyes leaving my sister and falling on her surprised face of Melissa."Alright" Anabelle muttered getting up to her feet, she placed a hand on Melissa's lap, her face filled with a soft smile, "I will be back later" she noted, gave the maid a sign, "Clean this up once she is done with her tea, for now, let's go, you will have to come back later"Saying this, together with the maid, I watched Anabelle walk out of the room leaving me and Melissa alone. Melissa didn't look pleased that I cut short their discussion but the thoughts I had buried in my head ever since her attack couldn't get off my mind."You shouldn't have done that, '' Melissa said, breaking the silence between us."I need us to talk""Why can't it wait for later? I and your sister were having a good time and you just decided to ruin it with your presence" she muttered looking so displeased."My presence ruined it?""Of course Nelson, I don't know what you want to discuss with me
Melissa's POV"Now I am done," I said, breaking the silence between us.I got on my feet with the bowl of warm water held tightly, my gaze not letting go of Nelson who said nothing but stared at the wound which stopped bleeding profusely."Now wait" I said walking towards a nearby table. I could feel his eyes following every step I took. I couldn't help but become so uncomfortable about it, but at the same time, I didn't dare show it, a tough expression still plastered on my face.Seeing him fall to his feet really took me unaware, I have never seen him this vulnerable and stubborn at the same time. The look in his eyes when I held him felt so strange in a way I have never experienced."Nelson!" I found myself screaming as I threw the book aside and ran towards where he laid, his face overwhelmed with deep pain.The moment my eyes sighted the blood that emitted from his arm, deep fear gripped me and I felt my pulse stop.I have never been so scared right before me and it felt like the
Melissa's POVThe next day came pretty fast, I woke up only to find the other side of the bed empty, there was no grave of Nelson in the room and I couldn't help but feel very relieved about it.Patricia came in, helped me with my bath and a few minutes later, I found myself staring at my reflection in the mirror as Patricia gently brushed my hair down."You look very beautiful" she complimented as I couldn't help but smile at her words. I was already used to Patricia compliments, she doesn't hesitate to compliment me in any situation she finds herself, something I appreciate a lot."Thanks" I replied with a fixed smile on my face."You look beautiful too," I admitted."No Ma'am, I don't" she shook her head in disapproval, "Most werewolves in the pack think that I am very unattractive" she replies, a look of sadness buried in her eyes.I couldn't help but turn around with wonder," Why will they think like that? You are indeed beautiful and you have to believe me when I say it" I admit
