Melissa's POVI yawned tiredly and slowly opened my eyes. To my surprise, the ceiling of the chamber shone right at me. I sat up only to realize that I laid on the bed.Still confused on how I got there, I glanced at the other side of the bed, it was empty, there was no sign of Nelson at all and at that point, the events of last night began to flow through me."Nelson '' I muttered and tried to get up from the bed but a familiar voice stopped me."He is fine, just resting"I turned to my side only to find Conri seated not far away from the bed with his hands folded, he had a strange expression in his eyes which made me uncomfortable.He smiled softly, "It's good that you are finally awake, for a moment, we thought we lost you both…""What happened after you found me and Nelson last night?" I suddenly asked cutting him short. Conri raised a brow, "You passed out last night, I guess you were stressed out from the intense walk you did deep into the woods but I must appreciate your brav
Nelson's POVA deep gnatching pain pierced through my heart, I tightened my lips trying not to let out a loud scream but my guts failed me, I found myself screaming so loud and my eyes flew wide open with sweat trickling down my face.Panting very heavily, I scanned around the dim room, I could barely see anything other than an almost faded candle light which added more heat to the once running wild through my veins."Where am I?" I muttered panting heavily as I tried to catch my breath, my eyes still lurking around the small room.A strong awful smell quickly grasped my nostrils making it very difficult for me to breathe."What is this!" I shouted in disgust, a look of irritation spread across my face.A soft chuckle startled me, slowly, towards the bed where I laid, a figure began to walk out of the darkness and towards the dim candle light.I narrowed my gaze as I tried so hard to see who it was and soon it was, I was able to recognize the figure."Gesimmi," I muttered, staring at
Nelson's POVDumbfounded,my eyes flickered as I stared at Conri, so many thoughts traveled through my head and I was still trying to figure out if he was lying or not. The whole explanation wasn't making total sense to me and it seems very unbelievable."You are making this up Conri" I let out adamantly, unable to believe him.A look of surprise appeared on his face, his brows furrowed at me, "You don't believe me Nelson?""Of course I don't!" I asserted strongly, shaking my head, "How do you expect me to believe such a ridiculous lie? Huh? Tell me!" A sharp pain struck me so hard reminding me of the situation I am in. I tightened my eyes as I bit my lower lip trying to hide the pain from Conri."You still need to rest," he said with an expressionless face."I am fine," I noted sternly."Still as stubborn as always. Your idea led you into this situation and now that I am telling you who your savior is, you think I am making this up. Why on Earth will I make such a habit?""You did, Co
Melissa's POV.The morning breeze flew past me as I stood next to the open window, my eyes fixed at the open field of the pack.As I started watching each maid who went about with their daily activities, my mind was far away from reality and the whole incident played continuously in my head.It's been three days ever since I brought Nelson back into the pack along with the help of Conri. I heard that he is finally awake but still in treatment and according to Anabelle words, he might be discharged today and the thought of seeing him made my first crawl.Ever since he has been away, I didn't dare to go pay him a visit just to know how he is doing. Although I had the urge to visit him, my self esteem stopped me.He doesn't deserve himA man like Nelson doesn't!His rude ways and acts never seem to amaze me and every time I remember how he treated me the day I helped him when he fell face down to the ground, I know that a man like him can never change even after he knows that I saved his
Melissa's POVIrritated by what just transpired between I and Viviana, I sat on the bed staring so hard at the door opposite to me.Why do I feel so bittered by her words?I shouldn't feel this way since I have nothing special with Nelson, he hates me so much and possibly having anything to do with him is far away from being possible.I groaned angrily, laid on the bed with so many thoughts running through my mind and before I knew it, I drifted into a deep slumber.The atmosphere was cold, confused, I got on my feet only to realize that I was in a cave, a cave with almost no light for me to see my way through.Scared, I scanned around hoping that I won't be caught in a web of confusion but the more I flickered my eyes to assert my sight, it felt very impossible to figure out how I got in here."Hello" I muttered but my voice echoed back at me.A little stone fell next to me, looking up, I realized that a ray of light emitted from the hole in the wall Which the fallen stone created. T
Nelson's POV.It's been days ever since I have been accustomed to the bed. Finally, I was going to be fully discharged by noon and have a meeting with Tinox at the hall.I glanced at my reflection on a nearby mirror, my beards were neatly shaved by a maid and I must say that my appearance does look better, unlike the first two days of my stay here."You look blissful darling" the voice of Viviana shoved me off my thoughts.I looked up only to realize that she had been with me before I drifted off into my world of thoughts.Viviaba walked closer to where I laid with a cup of tea in her hand."Have this, it will make you feel better" she noted with a friendly smile on her face, her blue eyes shone brightly not leaving me.With a nod, I took the cup away from her and had a sip of the hot tea, a good feeling subdued me whole."Do you like it?""Of course I do," I affirmed with a smile while taking another sip. "It's good to have this other than the liquid being given to me." I rolled my e
Melissa's POVThe door of the room opened and standing next to it was Patricia who bowed at me."Ma'am, your attention is needed"I looked up at her, I was still dwelling in the nightmare I just had with the strange man and his final words on getting me killed. It gave me great chills around my body and I couldn't help the way my heart beat just knowing that there was something waiting to kill me."My attention?..."I paused, raising a brow, "Who needs it?""The Gamma, he insist you come to the hall now, he wants to have a talk with you"I knew at once that she was referring to no one but Tinox.I felt a bit nervous wondering why he called for my attention with the presence of Nelson. This is the first time such us happening and I couldn't help but feel very curious as I wonder why."Alright, infirm him that I will be there soon"With a slight nod, Patricia walked out of the room leaving me.At once, I got on my feet, walked towards the wardrobe filled with clothes and picked a yellow
Nelson's POVSurprised to find Melissa with Tinox, my face filled with the not expecting expression as we both held contact.Not saying any words with locked eyes, I couldn't help but admit that she looked way more beautiful than when I last saw her. It was like I was seeing her in a whole different way, those green eyes of hers didn't leave me making me almost lose my breath in the most possible ways.What must she have been discussing with Tinox?How long has she been here?I glanced at Tinox who nodded, gesturing me to walk closer to where Melissa stood. Melissa looked away and I noticed a hint of surprise on her face to see me too.Did Tinox plan this?Bringing us together by not informing us that the other will be present?Last night, Tonix walked into my room and suggested that I come over to the hall for an important meeting today. I wasn't expecting to see him with anyone, and in case anyone should be with him, my mind never went to Melissa."It's really good to see you Prince
