view moreLucian’s POV Mercy?I couldn't believe this woman had mistaken my orders for mercy. My rule was ruthless, why does she regard the punishment I gave her as me being merciful? I had never seen a prisoner like her, one who was ready to give up her life without struggle. I sensed something must have happened to make her unwilling to live. It's not like I cared about her or whatever she might have passed through, I was more interested in knowing why she was here and who sent her. For being able to evoke such emotions no one has been able to in years, I knew that her presence in my territory screamed danger and I couldn't wait to do away with her after getting the information I desire to hear."Get her out of here," I sneered dangerously and she was finally dragged out of the room. "Call Kade into my office," I told the guard beside me as I made my way out of the room.Kade was the second in command in the pack, my closest friend and advisor. When I was sentenced to death by the council
Lucian’s POV I watched as the strange lady kneeling before me was hauled up from the floor by two guards and dragged to the exit. She didn't pose any form of resistance as they pulled her along, but just as I was about to avert my eyes from her, she suddenly stopped, causing my brows to furrow in confusion."I would prefer to be executed tonight. Besides, I have nothing else to live for," she stated emotionlessly, with a hint of stubbornness in her tone.Her words sliced through the heavy silence in the hall like a blade and I felt something ignite inside of me. My eyes roamed her fragile frame as I tried to decipher where this boldness came from.Usually, other prisoners will fall to their knees and begin to plead for mercy on hearing my orders. They would beg to be spared while confessing their crimes or revealing the identity of those they work for, but her case was different, she was strange.Her words made me feel uneasy and the fact that she was indifferent about being execute
Damon’s POV My eyes widened in fear as Melody raised the knife whose blade was glistening with my blood in the air. I could feel the blood drain from my face in horror as I looked down my chest to see the injury she had already inflicted on me. Before I could tell what was going to happen next, she plunged the blade deep into my chest again for the second time, on the same spot. I tried to scream but the sound died in my throat before I could let it out. I could not even move my arms, it felt like they were paralyzed as I fell helplessly on the cold floor in the pool of my blood.I peered into Melody’s cold and expressionless face, her dark eyes were gazing intently into mine as she slowly twisted the knife she buried in my chest. The pain shot up my spine and I winced loudly, tears rolling down my eyes as I stared at her pleadingly.Her eyes held no pity as she yanked the knife out of my chest forcefully, her breathing ragged and her face filled with rage. The knife blade glinted a
Melody’s POV I was expecting to open my eyes and find myself still sprawled on the floor in the forest but when I opened them, I was met with darkness."Was it night already?" I mumbled under my breath, feeling my heart race in anxiety. My throat felt parched like I hadn't had a drop of water in ages.My eyes wandered to my side and fell on a small window that was illuminating the space.I don't remember crawling into any room, so where was I?I slowly sat up from the floor, confusion etched on my features. My eyes danced across the dimly lit, unfamiliar space and my forehead creased in worry. What happened and where was I?I felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen and crouched down as the pain shot up my spine. A wince escaped my lips as I held tightly to my stomach.I stared down at my legs and fear engulfed me at the sight of the dried blood between them. I gulped down nothing as I slowly raised my gown, tracing where the blood had come from.Tears clouded my eyes as an exasperated
Melody’s POV “No, Damon, you can't do this to me!” I groaned as the pain of his rejection consumed me.I yelled out in agony as I fell to the floor. "Please make it stop," I grunted but Damon didn't move a muscle, instead he snuggled closer to Amelia on the bed.“Guards,” Damon called out while I was still on the floor.The door pushed open and two guards walked in.Without glancing at them, he said lazily. “Take her out of here now.”I was bewildered and felt humiliated as I was pushed out of Damon’s bedroom. Tears clouded my vision and I ran straight for my room with one thought in mind. I wanted to go far away from this vicinity, away from the surging pain and haunting memory that had become fixed in my head. The hurt was too much for me to bear.Once in my room, I began to gather whatever of my belongings my hand could reach, forcing it into the box I had prepared to leave the pack with.If Damon didn't want me anymore, then there was no point in staying. I would raise my child
Melody’s POV The doctor walked into the room where I was waiting, with a smile on his face. I straightened my back in anticipation of whatever news he had for me.“Congratulations! You are pregnant," he chimed, handing the brown envelope in his hand to me.A surprised gasp left my lips and I stared at him in shock. "A-Are you sure about that, doctor?" He bobbed his head, the smile on his face unwavering.Tears filled my eyes as my lips stretched in a smile. I subconsciously placed my hand on my stomach, imagining the excitement that would appear on Darius's face when I conveyed the news to him."Remember to visit the pharmacy downstairs," The doctor's voice interrupted my thoughts. "I've written down some medications in your file. Just show the results to them, they'd know what to do.""Thank you, doctor.”He smiled widely. "Enjoy the rest of your day, ma'am," With a final nod, he left the waiting room for his office. I left for the hospital’s garage after getting the prescribed me
