Melissa
I felt like someone was watching me, so I looked over my shoulder once more. I was about to ignore it when I saw the human figure’s shadow in the distance.Who was it?I quickly got up and followed the figure as it got closer. The person’s gait seemed off and out of balance. As the individual drew nearer, the light of the full moon cast on him and I could see his face faintly.One of the men was always keeping an eye on the prisoners in the pack. Since Werewolves had a high tolerance for alcohol, I wondered how much he had consumed because he looked drunk.He lurched towards me and I hissed, irritated that he was upsetting the peaceful second I was having.“You.” He stumbled toward me and nearly fell over a rock, but he regained his composure.He slurred, “You’re that crazy daughter of Beta Kyle,” and stopped moving a few meters ahead of me.I demanded, “You’re drunk, go back right now,” in the hope that he would simply return to where he had come from.“Not yet dear,” he countered and a messy grin shaped all the rage.I crossed my arms over my chest as I sighed.He continued, pointing to me, “I’ve had my eyes on you for some time now, and I really like you,” and I scoffed.I immediately responded, “Well, I don’t, so leave already,” and his smile widened even more.He responded, “I think you should be happy darling,” and hearing him call me “darling” enraged me. “I’m the only one that likes you around here.”“Don’t call me that. You want to leave now!” In the direction of the house, I yelled at him.“When you’re mad, you’re cute.” He laughed and reached out to touch my face with his hand.I grabbed his hand right away and tossed it.“You dare not touch me!” I hollered at him and he kept up with that equivalent grin all over.“You are making me insane. He slurred, “I can’t help it,” and he moved closer to me.“Leave this place!” I hit him in the chest with my hand as soon as I raised it. Before coming back close to me, he took a brief pause and retreated.I attempted to hit him once more, however he quickly snatched my hand and held it tight.“Leave….Me…..Alone!” He held onto my right wrist tightly despite my yelling and three hits to the chest with my other hand.“You should be happy that I want anything to do with you!” The grin that was once all over transformed into a savage look and an eyes consuming hazily with lust.“You jerk!” I screamed and spit in his direction. He wiped his face with his free hand and smiled.“You’re truly making me insane,” he smiled and he looked at me with lust in his eyes. What an animal!“If you give me what I want, we can make each other happy and I can protect you from everyone.” He licked his lips and stared at me lecherously once more. His eyes literally moved up and down my body, and I could feel them.“Never! “ His grip was extremely tight, and my wrist was beginning to hurt, so I struggled to free myself from it.“Stop me!” He also grabbed my other hand by the wrist as I yelled and tried to hit him in the chest with it again.He shook his head with lustful eyes and said, “Sorry darling, but I don’t take no for an answer.” I started to worry about what he wanted to do.“You jerk. Leave me alone?” I screamed at him incessantly. He glanced around and confronted me again before abruptly relinquishing my wrists. He won’t, of course, dare do that!I really want to quickly return home. I quickly continued walking so I could take off, yet I felt him grab me by the waist and pull me towards him.His palm covered my mouth as I was pressed against his chest. I attempted to yell so he could let me be, yet my voice scarcely got away as a whine.“You’re going no where sweetheart,” he said with his breath waiting on my neck.He pushed me to the ground after he abruptly turned me around. He bent over, covered my mouth once more, and pinned me to the ground before I could get up. I tried to kick him off by thrashing my legs on the floor, but he didn’t move at all. Especially because my kicks likely had no power as I was so frail.“Mmmphh. Mmmmph.” I attempted to yell, however, my words were suppressed and uttered practically no sound.He let go of my mouth and I quickly took the risk to talk.“Let me go, you scumbag!” I yelled at him. Before I knew it, he punched me in the face and gave me a sudden look of rage.I“You arrogant! I’m the only one who loves you!” He hollered and smacked me across the face once more.“He used one of his legs to replace one of his hands as he pinned me even closer to the ground and I grunted.I looked as he immediately unfastened his shirt and I started to yell.“Help me!” I shouted extremely loudly, but my voice barely reached where we were. I was so exhausted and weak that I couldn’t even scream.“My dad will deal with you!” I said it in the hope that he would become alarmed, but instead, he laughed out loud.“Stop it. No one will believe you because everyone knows your family hates you. I began to struggle once more as I observed his determination to carry this out and he laughed once more.“We’re both going to enjoy this so quit being obstinate!” I wept in pain after he slapped me across the face once more. I kept trying to escape from him, but I felt too weak to stand up to the power he was using against me.***Melissa's POV***Arnold staggered backwards as he was stabbed. The knife she used was purely made of dark magic. That very instant, I noticed Arnold going pale. “No!” I screamed out in anger at what happened right in front of me. Just then, I force pulled me up from the floor and I couldn't tell how I did it but the next thing I knew, I was standing right in front of the witch whose hands had become bloody with my mate's blood. I gripped her on the neck and pulled her up. “How dare you put a finger on my mate! I swear, I'll never forgive you. You must pay with your life for what you've done to my mate!”That's all it took for me to snap her neck. When I realized the witch had finally been killed, I tossed her to the ground and turned around towards my mate, who was now lying helplessly on the floor with Xavier by his side. Seeing my mate struggling for his life made my heart ache terribly. I felt like I was going to die from the pain. I managed to carry myself to his side. “
***Melissa's POV***“Argh!” I screamed out in pain as the young witch continued to cast her spell. Presently, I had shifted back into my human form as I couldn't bear the immense pain from the burning I felt on my back. Just then, I heard my child scream out. I quickly turned around to see my child who was crying non-stop. If it were to be in another situation, I would have been annoyed at the fact that my child was crying so hard. But currently, I felt relieved that my child was crying because it was an indication that he was alive. The cries of my child suddenly gave me the strength I thought had been drained by the witch. “You think I'm going to let you win? Never!”I struggled to stand up on my feet while the Witch continued to cast her incantations. I wasn't concerned about what she was doing at that moment. Rather, what I was more concerned about was the fact that I had to escape from this coven after finishing off their witch. With the little power left in me, I shit my ey
***Alpha Xavier's POV***Just as I was about to join them to cast the spell, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my heart, which made me stagger backwards. “Argh!” I heard someone scream, to my shock, it was Arnold. He held on to his chest just like I did. “Arnold, Xavier, what's going on. Why do you both feel the same pain at once?” Emilia asked, confused. “I have no idea, Emilia.”They probably do not know since we are of different tribes, but I know very well what this means. “We need to hurry with whatever spell week is about to carry out. Melissa is in danger. She must have been hurt,” I said in panic. I sat next to Arnold. At this point, I can't afford to hold whatever grudge I have against since we both have one common goal, and that is to find Melissa as soon as possible.I shut my eyes and let Emilia cast the spell, just as she had said she would. In no time, I found myself in the woods. I looked around, but I was alone. Where were Emilia and Arnold? Just then, I realized
**Alpha Xavier's POV***I've searched the woods for two days, yet there was no sign of a single witch. I was beginning to doubt whether what Badmos gave me was effective or not. Of course, it has to be effective. I had to find my child, but I don't even know where to search anymore. “Alpha, Xavier, I'm not sure if we'll be able to find your son this way. I think what we need is a powerful watch who knows the terrain. The orb is probably broken or ineffective.”“I thought so too,” I muttered. “Why don't we go back to the coven to see how things were in the coven?”“No, I can't!”“What? Why not?” Drake asked in surprise. “Listen, I promised my Luna that I was never coming back until I could bring my child with me.”"Of course I was there when you said that, but at this point, you also know that there's no way we can find your son. He's an Infant, where do we even begin to search for an infant.”“My child isn't whom I'm looking for, but the bitch who took my son.”“But there's no such
***Melissa's POV***I stood in front of two ladies. One looked as old as Emilia while the other was as young as I am, though I could tell that she's not as young as I think she is. To worsen it, she's the one carried my child who is now quiet. I wonder if he's doing okay by being silent, or if they used some kind of dark spell to keep him shut. “I'm here now, please give me back my child.”The ladies both looked at one another and laughed out hysterically. “Mother, she's such a naive one. Who would have thought that she'll really come to us so easily.”“Don't talk like that child. She's a mother, so it's only natural that she would do everything to save her child, and this is one thing we lack.”“You're right now. And that is why we must break this goddess forsaken curse!”The moment they mentioned the curse, I was reminded of what Emilia had told me earlier about the curse my grandmother had laid on them. “The curse, huh? I know about this curse. But then, my child has got nothing
**Badmos POV**While in bed, I couldn't sleep because I realized that this wasn't the best way to protect Melissa. I promised Xavier that I was going to watch over her, and the best way I could actually do that is by staying by her side if I have to. This is the only way for her me to fully keep an eye on her. I quickly rolled out of bed and headed to her room. But before then, I stopped at Emilia's. I knocked light in Emilia's door and in a few seconds, Emilia got the door. “Badmos, you're still awake.”“Couldn't sleep. With my grandson missing and Melissa in the terrible state she's in, I can't leave her in such a state, you know.”“You're right. I checked on her a few minutes ago. I think we should both check on her again, just to be certain she's okay.”Emilia and I both went to her door. But then, Emilia both noticed something strange, and that was the lack of a presence in the room. We could both feel it from where she stood. Emilia and I both exchanged quick glances before
