I laid mute unable to let out any words, with my eyes fixed on the white comfy towel wrapped around his waist, I gulped down really hard with so many thoughts going through my mind.
I was about to lose it, yes, I know! Deep fear gripped me at once as our eyes locked together so fiercely that it made it very hard for me to breathe.I couldn't move as I laid on the bed, my eyes not leaving the magnificent being who isn't just a werewolf but my husband, the realization of me already married to him made my heart skip so hard."You shouldn't be staring at me in such a way" I heard Nelson say, his eyes still not leaving me.Embarrassed, I looked away and I could see my cheeks flushed red at his words. I didn't realize that I was so carried away by his looks, his handsome physique, especially those abs that were about to drive me crazy, not just that alone, but throw me much further than I could ever think of."Sorry about that, '' I muttered so faintly that I doubted he heard my voice. It must have been really weird to watch him see me as something else other than his wife."Melissa," he called out.Slowly, I averted my gaze at him, it felt like I was being controlled by something, maybe a spell had been cast on me and I just couldn't differentiate the good from the bad anymore. I was about to lose it but I won't allow any of my feelings get in the way.I watched him, looking up to him like a little child watching his guardian. This time around, there was a look in his eyes, a strange but admiring glare that made my blood run wild with thoughts.Before I could utter any word, still in his towel, Nelson came closer to me, his eyes didn't move away neither did mine and at that minute, it felt like a great wind was about to swirl me into another direction.His eyes, those enchanting eyes of his were about to drive me insane. Of course, I didn't succumb to this marriage and all I ever thought of was the opposite, not what I am seeing right now."You don't have to look scared, I have far more delicate things to do other than touching you" I heard him whisper to me, he was so close that I felt his breath on my face.Speechless, I dared not to gaze up at him, Nelson moved away from me and walked into the bathroom holding some clothes.Realizing I am alone, I let out a deep breath with my left hand placed on my chest as a sign of relief. Hearing him say those words gladdened me, although I found it out of the blues, I have always heard people say that newly couples tend to make love the night of their wedding but apparently mine will be different, in a way that really pleases me.I laid my head filled with hope, sure, prince Nelson is proving himself as a perfect gentle man and I hope it's true or maybe I heard him wrong, of course not! He stated the fact that he won't touch me, I just hope he sticks to his words.Few minutes later, I felt Nelson lay on the bed. My heart leaped as soon as I felt his presence. Very nervous, I dared not go turn around to where he laid, I glanced down at the night rope I wore and realized that a larger part of my cleavage was open. Feeling uncomfortable, I quickly covered it up with the blanket even though it seems like it's going to be a long night for me.Morning came faster than I expected, with the ray of the sunlight on my face, I slowly opened my eyes as I yawned softly, my hair covering a large part of my face.For a second, I couldn't figure out where I was, then suddenly, the whole pieces began to arrange themselves and I quickly remembered."You need to get dress"Alerted by the voice, I turned to its direction only to find Nelson fully dressed in a black pants and white tunic that made him look very handsome. His hair was neatly brushed and those glittering eyes of his made my heart leap. Of course, there wasn't a smile on his face as usual and that added a very unique taste to him."Melissa, you need to get dressed" Nelson let out again, this time, his voice was louder and sharper as he stared at me with a Stern expression."But why?" I asked, wondering what might be happening."You don't have to ask much questions, we got married yesterday, the party thrown for us as newly couples, you failed to attend but right now, we have to get to the royal dining and have breakfast with the rest of the family, we don't need to keep them waiting"Surprised, I didn't know what to say. A knock on the door alerted us and Nelson walked towards the door."It's I prince Nelson" a female voice called out form the outside, "I am here to attend to your bride and make her ready for breakfast"Get me ready for breakfast? I asked myself with a raised eyebrow as I stared at Nelson."Do come in" he gestured, looked away from the door and rested his eyes on me, "I will be back in the next twenty minutes, I expect you to be done by then" he noted."But…." I muttered and watched him walk out of the room not wanting to hear any word that I have to say.I bit my lower lip not knowing what else to say. No one ever informed me that life would be so different here. The idea of werewolves having breakfast together, great! Now I have lots of things to learn even though I am a mere human without any knowledge."Ma'am, are you ready?" The maid before me spoke out.I looked up at her with my body still stuck to the comfy bed. For a moment, I forgot that she existed."You don't have to" I dismissed."No ma'am, I do, you are the prince's wife and he will have my heart pulled out if I don't have you ready in the given time he stated" her sharp blue eyes glittered in fear as she spoke."Have your heart ripped out?" I was confused.The young maid looked at her feet. At that moment, I noticed the white gown she was putting on, her long brown hair and very red lips as she spoke. No doubt, she is very pretty and I couldn't help but wonder why a pretty girl like her is nothing but a slave."Ma'am, I have to get you ready, pleass" she responded with softened eyes."Don't call me ma'am please"Her eyes lit up, "I need to""Why?""I can't address you by your name, you are my mistress and I am your slave" she replied."I don't care, I need you not to refer to me as ma'am, it makes me look old. I will prefer Melissa" I announced with a soft smile. I had no idea why I was filled with smiles all of a sudden but I wanted her to feel comfortable around me."Alright, Ma'am Melissa" she replied bowing in respect.I stared at her very intensively and immediately, I let out a chuckle at her gesture, "You really want to address me as ma'am, I can see that""Yes I do""Oh…" I paused while watching her, "What is your name?" I implored."Patricia""Patricia, I don't know who assigned you to get me ready for breakfast. As you can see, I am new here and not just that alone, I am a human, not a werewolf. Pardon me, but right from time, I always say werewolves as beasts and when I got to know that I will be getting married to prince Nelson, I became terrified…" I paused not knowing why I was saying this to her, she is just a stranger but I couldn't help but feel very comfortable saying this out to her without thinking twice."Well, all I want to know is what kind of person prince Nelson is"Patricia looked up at me with see written all over her face, I guess my request must have baffled her because she appeared dumbfounded for some few minutes."Prince Nelson is a good man" she uttered.Not saying any more words to her, I got down from the bed, undressed and walked into the bath which had warm water already prepared.After the bath, a long blue dress was presented to me, I wore it and had my hair neatly brushed with little makeup applied on my face. I won't lie, I love my look but I couldn't help the way my heart beat at the sight of Nelson who walked into the room.Together, we got out and headed down the hallway, my heart beating so hard as I wondered what the rest of the family would look like."You are welcome" a muscular voice boomed as I walked into a large hall with Nelson by my side.Looking up, before me was a large dining table, members of the royal family sat staring at me as I approached the table along with Nelson who stood beside me not caring to take a look at me.Sitting at the end of the table was a large man with long shaved beards, his sharp green eyes shone as he watched me, it looked like he was studying me, an expression which made me very uncomfortable and without thinking twice, I know it's no one else but the Alpha, Nelson's father.Timidly, I watched Nelson sit, there was an empty seat next to him, looking away as everyone in the table stared at me, my heart couldn't stop racing so I sat next to Nelson avoiding their gaze."Well…it's good to have everyone present here for breakfast" the Alpha's voice boomed out as it echoed loudly.I didn't dare to look up, my eyes fixed to my hand as I slowly rubbed it together."Melissa" I heard my name.Gulping rea
"Gone?...I don't understand" I mumbled with widened eyes which glued to Anabelle.She smiled, "Listen, the Alpha is my father, Nelson is my brother, not a step, but my biological brother although our mother is late. We only have each other along with the other wives and children of my father" she paused, stood up and stared right at me."When I heard that my brother will have to choose his bride from the human world, I was a little skeptical about it at first knowing who my brother is""What do you mean?" I quickly cut her short, very curious.A wider smile appeared on her face, Anabelle shook her head, "You don't have to worry about that, you will figure it out yourself at the right time" she responded and continued with her words."My father was against it, he never wanted his first son to be bound to a mere human. He always wanted Nelson to get married to a werewolf in the Omega's rank, a Werewolf whom he thinks will be best for the position of the Luna. But things didn't go in his
I trembled taking a step backwards, with my eyes fixed on the wolf who was ready to devour me, I rested my left hand on a tree next to me, fear gripped me so tight."Who are you?" I let out a husky voice, I was about to lose it so greatly, at that point, it felt like my tongue was cut off with my teeth falling out."Who am I?" I heard the wolf say, its voice was so sharp and loud."Aren't you the new bride of the pack, the wife of prince Nelson?" He asked but his words sounded more like a statement than a question.Obviously, I needed no one to tell me that whoever this wolf might be, it knows me more than I know who it might be."Please do-d, don’t hurt me" I begged, taking a step backward.A corny smile filled the wolf's mouth, he took a step towards me and that minute, it felt like my heart was about to explode into tiny bits. I couldn't breathe, it felt like the air went still and everything surrounding me became so blurry that I was about to pass out."Your husband, prince Nelson
I stared at the door for what seemed like eternity. The tears slowly rolled down my face as his words ran through my mind.Did he save me?I asked myself very ity flickering eyeballs, my mind unable to figure out what to believe and what not to.If he really did save me, how did he know that I was out in the woods at that same time? How?!My mind was about to explode due to the excess questions and migraine that was taking the best of me.An hour passed by gradually, a maid came into the room, cleaned my room and brought in some food for me to eat. Even though there was no appetite for me to eat, I just had to force myself and eat something not to anger Nelson and the members of his family.The face of the alpha flashed through my mind and my heart couldn't help but skip. His face brought Goosebumps to my skin and I could help but feel it each time I remembered how harshly he spoke to me.Tired of thinking and worrying about my pain, I decided to fall asleep, maybe I might have a bett
"Melissa, meet Conri," Anabelle introduced.I looked up only to find a tall handsome man in a black cloak walking closer to where we sat. His long black hair swung to the touch of the wind, a smile plastered on his face and from where I sat, I could see his pure white amazing set of teeth which sparkled. No doubt, this guy is breathtakingly handsome but I wonder how a man like him wants to help a girl like me."Good to see you Ma'am Melissa, it's a pleasure to finally meet you" Conri spoke out standing close to where I stood, his eyes filled with sparkled as he spoke and I couldn't help but feel very confused about the whole thing."You have to relax Melissa, Conri is a very good friend of mine and a loyal werewolf to the royal family. He will teach you everything you need to know about becoming the Luna of this pack immediately. My brother is made Alpha…" Anabelle turned to Conri who smiled at her, "It's good to have you back Conri, it's been a while since you have been inside the pa
I stared at my reflection, my stare locked within as I slowly buckled the last button on my sleeve. The past few days have been harder than I could comprehend and I could feel my shoulders ache badly, my body about to burst out with burning fire.MelissaThe name rang in my head like a burning fire, like a name echoing from a mountain top and there was nothing anyone could do to stop it from being heard.I scoffed and neatly brushed my hair, my eyes filled with anger, an anger that I just couldn't lay down ever since the first day I knew I was going to get married to this stranger, a pure human as my wife."No father! I want to get married to her! How do you expect me to mate a mere human, how do you expect her to be the Luna of my pack? How will she lead the werewolves into battle and keep the pack together? No way father! We have to look for another way out because this isn't going to work, ever!" I affirmed with so much fury burning through me, the blood in my veins rushed like wil
Melissa's POVThe hallway was so quiet that the only sound that could be heard were that of I and Conri who walked down heading to where I have no idea about."Where are we going?" I asked turning my attention to Conri who had his gazed forward."To the royal library"Surprised, I narrowed my gaze at him, "The Royal library? But, how is that going to help me know things I ought to. There are tons of books given to me to go through but still, I can't understand it clearly. How sure are you that I am going to do justice to the ones you are about to show me now" I asked, my sight not leaving him.A soft laugh escaped his lips, he took a left turn and I followed suit. The hallway we entered was way brighter than the former and I could clearly see two maids coming out of a room and heading out with their eyes bowed in respect."I am not just taking you there to read, but to explain more to you. Follow me" he gestured.I rolled my eyes with a sigh, "Of course I am" I responded and followed
Melissa's POVStartled by his question, I gazed up at him gulping down as hard as I could. I couldn't understand what he meant by those words."What do you mean?""Don't just sit there and ask me" his eyes left the book and rested back on me, "Do you think that by you reading this book will make you a good Luna?" Nelson asked, his voice filled with so much contempt that I couldn't help but wonder why he hates me this much.I decided not to say a word to his question, although I was pissed but I won't let his remark ruin the happiness I found reading it.Seeing that I was silent, Nelson looked away from me and returned back to his side of his bed. I tried my best to ignore him even though I could hear him every step.Soon, he laid on the bed and within minutes slept off as I held the book, my mind unable to explain what just transpired between us.The next day came faster than expected, although I was a bit sleepy knowing the fact that I spent all night reading. I got to my feet before
