“What do you mean she should follow you?” Aria asked Alpha king Avalor who chuckled still staring at me as he held my hand with his.
“Should you be questioning me concerning that?when it’s very obvious.” Alpha Avalor said to Aria who clearly seemed confused.
“Alpha Avalor, I dont think you should be wasting your time on a mateless wolf like Melissa.” Alpha russel said but alpha Avalor shrugged he won’t just let go of the matter when he still had a lot to say.
“So are you saying I should reject my mate?” Alpha Avalor said making everyone gasp in surprise as I wasn’t liking the way everything seemed to be turning.
I really wanted to reject alpha Avalor but it felt like something was pulling me from within each time I tried to speak.
“It can’t be!!”lucas insisted but his father wasn’t ready for any unnecessary commotion so he stood up immediately.
“Everyone out!!!” Alpha russel yelled making everyone rush out quickly but Lucas still stood in his position.
“Including you Lucas.”Alpha Russel added but Lucas was a bit lost in his own thought as he continued to stare at me with a wicked look.
“I can’t leave while you and Alpha Avalor discuss just because he came with fake news.” Lucas said but his stare still made me very uncomfortable.
“And why Is that!, I don’t need you here and as you can see I need to discuss with them how to settle this mate issue.” His father replied but Lucas scoffed loudly.
“But father, she is my mate.” Lucas suddenly said making me surprised at how he was claiming me back as his.
“Lucas.” Aria called from behind us, I guess she was just as surprised as I was when he took my side.
“And you are just telling me? If she is your mate why is Alpha Avalor also her mate?” His father asked making Lucas groan in frustration.
“She was my mate but then I rejected her.” Lucas said.
“Well that sums it all up..she is not your mate anymore and has already been marked by alpha Avalor.” Was I supposed to be happy? Because being with either of them to me was more like a torture, I thought to myself while staring back at Alpha Avalor and then Lucas as they gave each other the death stare …. And just few nights ago I was totally mateless being insulted by everyone around me and now I had two mates but hated both of them.
“She is mine!!” Lucas said about to pull me to his side but Alpha Avalor stopped him,pushing him hardly to the ground.
“It’s too late for all these, you shouldn’t have tortured her and try to get her to be yours few nights back but since I mated her she belongs to me and I don’t care if you are an alpha to be but you aren’t allowed to lay a hand on something that rightfully belongs to me.” Alpha Avalor said to Lucas who was still on the ground with his grip on my hand even tighter.
“So alpha russel can I take Melissa with me since she doesn’t even belong here in the first place.”Alpha Avalor requested while I felt so much regret, I wish I could just flee from here without anyone being able to find me.
That was when an idea struck me…in my room I was already orchestrating a plan on how to escape, but how would I leave this palace Hall if Alpha Avalor was holding on to me so tightly and won't let go.
“Dont I have a say in this matter that has to deal with my life?”I summoned up courage to ask while removing my hand from Alpha Avalor grip.
“Of Course you have a say in this matter as it solely has to do with you.” Alpha Russel said making me smile as u slowly stepped forward.
“First, I won't want to have anything to do with Lucas and yes I would follow alpha avalor but only because he marked me and I am pregnant for him, but I have one more request.”I said to alpha Russel who smiled back at me!?.
“And what is your request Melissa?” he asked.
“Can I at least be given the free will to return to my room and get the only picture I have of my family?” I replied.
“Yes you are free to do that.” he said making me happy as this was finally my chance to escape from the hands of the two unfortunate mates i ended up with.
“One of my men should escort you just in case.” Alpha Avalor said just as I was about to leave.
“Why would I need that when my room is just up the stares.” I said before walking out of the hall as he had understood what I meant.
I rushed into the bedroom staring around in confusion when I found what I was looking for, during my few days since I returned I slowly made a rope that would take me down the palace wall in ease and I guess this was the right time to use it. I tied it firmly to a place and threw down the window and thankfully my room was located at the most unusual place in the palace so no one would be able to notice anything.
After preparing myself to leave, I looked around to be sure everything was the way it was supposed to be when it dawned on me that if I leave this was it would be labeled that I ran away from the both of them and then an idea struck me.
If I wanted to make a clean escape I needed it to seem like I got kidnapped that way tracing me would be difficult and this could be my chance to finally pour all the blames on Lucas for rejecting me.
Chapter Six: She's gone!!!I opened my drawer and brought out the knife I had kept there safely for any emergency as I placed the tip on my arm, trying the acquire the guts I needed within me to tear myself but I really needed to do it, I need to at least make it look like I battled with the people who abducted me that way people would believe I was kidnapped.After a while of breathing in and breathing out heavily I finally summoned up the courage and tore my skin with the knife while I tried to hold me the pain that came with it.I rushed to my bed and made sure it seemed like a blood bathe situation before pouring droplets everyday and the last one lead to the doorway then I tore one of my dress and tied my wound tightly before following the rope down.After what felt like eternity I was finally out of the palace as I found a quick escape route and left the palace territory for good.I didn't bother turning around to check if I was being as I held my bleeding hand and ran as far as
“I should do my worst!!” Alpha Avalor questioned staring at Lucas with so much anger.“Do you really want to see me doing my worst?” Alpha Avalor questioned and when alpha Russel noticed how heated everything was getting he stopped the argument by pushing Lucas out of the room.“Alpha Avalor, I am so sorry for everything he just said and I can assure you that we would find Melissa…she must not have gotten far.” Alpha Russel said to Alpha Avalor who scoffed and then using his leg to slam the things which were already scattered all around.“What do you mean by she must have gotten far..she had already left the palace almost an hour before I came in to find her and you think she would escape the palace and then walk around instead of run for her life!!!” he yelled at Alpha Russel who still tried to keep calm because he knew how influential Alpha Avalor was to him.“What have you all been doing to her that made her feel so rejected and despite all the assurance I gave to her she still ran
I stood in the same position for a while before slowly turning around.“Hi.” I nervously replied while waving my hands slowly.“You must have been really hungry to eat this much junk food.” The handsome starnger said with a smirk as I turned around to stare at the counter that was behind me and it was filled with nylons of the different things I had eaten.“I am really sorry I shouldn’t have taken things without your permission.”I said to him with an awkward smile still plastered on my face but instead of staring back at me his eyes and attention on my dress.“You look beautiful in that sleek dress.” The stranger said with his weird but beautiful smile.I stared down at myself and noticed I was a bit too dressed and tried covering my cleavage a bit more.“Th..tha…thank you.” I stuttered.“My name is Richard since you never bothered asking.” The stranger whose name I now knew as Richard said bringing his hands out for an handshake but I hesitated staring at him weirdly.“Okay, you seem
Chapter Nine: Find Melissa“Alpha, it has now completed a week since you demanded for Melissa from the blue moon pack.” Alpha Avalor beta reminded him as he stood at the window of his study room with wicked grin.“Those bastards!! I knew they couldn’t provide Melissa, they just gave her more chance to run away.” Alpha Avalor said as he slammed things around in his study room.“Get the car ready, we are paying the blue moon pack a visit!!” He ordered while his beta ran out almost immediately in fright, informing the soldiers what the king said.Immediately the car was ready, Alpha Avalor wasted no time in leaving the palace as he was more than prepared to deal with Alpha Russel and Lucas who thought they could act smart with him.He made sure to arrive in a grand style so the guards could inform Lucas and his father of his arrival as he wasn’t ready to listen to any of their pleas he lost his Luna and it’s all their fault.He marched into the palace with his guards as the maids and eve
Alpha Avalor returned to the palace and his beta immediately tells him of the heated meeting awaiting him in the meeting room as the council member has a lot of questions for him.“They are very serious about it.” His beta added as he took off his coat and stomped towards the meeting hall.“You all wanted to see me?” Avalor questioned taking a seat on the throne awaiting their reply as they summoned up the courage within them and nodded affirmative.“You told us of the grand arrival of your Luna chosen for you by the moon goddess but since then we haven’t heard any news of any woman gracing this palace.” One of his council elders said before taking a seat, he nodded slowly thinking of the appropriate thing to tell the elders.“Yes I did say that, and truly I have a mate who is from a respected pack.” He began taking his words slowly.“Then where is she?” Another elder asked.“Currently missing.”Alpha Avalor blunted out the truth.“Missing!!!”“You shouldn't say those words for its an
Richard immediately accepted my offer and not too long told me he had a vacant position for me in his company which I was more than grateful to accept as this would be a good way for me to keep busy while I forget my life as a werewolf back in the pack.But my pregnancy seemed to be saying otherwise as I started having morning sickness which Richard began to notice but I still couldn’t tell him I was pregnant and from the looks of it the doctor never informed Richard about it which I was grateful for.After noticing that Richard wasnt the kind to think about having breakfast at home since he was a rich bachelor, I decide to take up the job and start cooking breakfast…he tried stopping though I hadn’t even completed a week, I still felt like it was must I did that for him.“Sit, let’s have breakfast.” I said to him while I arranged the table accordingly.“You know, you don’t always have to prepare breakfast for me like it’s an obligation I can do it myself.” Richard said to me before h
I nodded, feeling a mix of emotions coursing through me. "You're right. I shouldn't let fear guide my decisions. This child is a blessing, and I will do my best to cherish and protect them."Richard placed a hand on my shoulder, offering reassurance. "I'm here for you every step of the way, Melissa. We will figure things out together. And in the meantime, I think it would be a good idea for you to resume work in my company as soon as possible."I looked at him, slightly taken aback. "But what about my pregnancy? Won't it affect my ability to work?"Richard shook his head, a determined look in his eyes. "We will make the necessary accommodations to ensure your comfort and safety. I believe keeping yourself busy with work will help you focus on the positive aspects of your life and distract you from any negative thoughts or doubts."His words resonated with me, and I realized he was right. Diving into work would provide a sense of purpose and help me shift my focus away from the uncerta
Richard led me confidently through the bustling workspace, his hand gently resting on the small of my back, offering me support and reassurance. We approached a large meeting room where he signaled for everyone to gather. Attention turned towards us as the employees gradually quieted down, their eyes fixed on Richard and me. With a confident smile, Richard began to introduce me to the company. "Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please?" Richard's voice boomed through the room, commanding everyone's focus. "I would like to introduce you all to Melissa, who will be joining our team as my personal secretary." A wave of surprised murmurs swept through the room as my presence was acknowledged. I stood by Richard's side, feeling a mix of nervousness and determination. Richard continued, his voice filled with conviction. "Melissa is an incredibly talented individual who brings a fresh perspective and valuable skills to our company. She has already proven herself to be dili
As the day came to an end, Melissa, Richard, and Sarah tried to resume their work, but their minds were consumed by the emotional events that had unfolded. Melissa and Richard couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation for the future, while Sarah struggled to suppress her true feelings.Sarah put on a brave face, congratulating Melissa and Richard on their relationship and their upcoming family. She acted as though she was genuinely happy for them, but deep down, anger and resentment were bubbling within her.When the workday was finally over, Sarah returned home, her emotions overwhelming her. She couldn't fathom the idea of leaving Richard for Melissa, especially after all the plans she had made from the very beginning to win him back.In her frustration and anger, Sarah began to smash things around her, the sound of shattered glass and broken objects echoing through the room. It was a release of the pent-up emotions that had been building within her for so long.
As Melissa and Sarah walked back to their cars, Melissa couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation and excitement. She had missed Richard dearly during his trip, and the thought of seeing him again filled her with joy.As they entered the company building, Melissa's heart skipped a beat when she saw Richard standing by his desk, chatting with their colleagues. A wide smile spread across her face as she rushed towards him, unable to contain her happiness."Richard!" Melissa exclaimed, her voice filled with genuine delight. "You're back! I missed you so much!"Richard turned towards Melissa, his eyes lighting up with affection. He opened his arms, welcoming her into a warm embrace. "Melissa, I missed you too," he whispered, his voice filled with tenderness.The office fell silent as everyone watched the heartfelt reunion between Melissa and Richard. But instead of feeling embarrassed or self-conscious, Melissa felt a surge of confidence and happiness. She had overcome her fears and
The once-familiar street transformed into a labyrinth of dark corridors and endless hallways. The air grew colder, sending shivers down her spine.Melissa's voice trembled as she mustered the strength to speak. "Why are you doing this? What do you want from me?"Lucas's lips curled into a sinister smile. "Oh, Melissa," he sneered. "You should have known better than to cross me. I want what's rightfully mine, and I'll stop at nothing to get it."As Lucas advanced, Melissa's fear turned into determination. She refused to let him win, to let him control her life any longer. With every ounce of strength she could gather, she pushed back against the suffocating darkness.Suddenly, a blinding light erupted from within her, illuminating the nightmarish landscape. The once-formidable Lucas seemed to shrink in the face of her newfound power. He recoiled, his eyes wide with disbelief.Melissa's voice rang out, filled with a newfound confidence. "You may have haunted my dreams, Lucas, but I won'
Sarah understood what was going on as she was very aware that Richard was off on a business trip and Melissa was left all alone.“I would help in whatever way I can, I told you before that i was here to support and care for you till Richard return because you need that kid of help.” Sarah said as she covered up for Melissa who stood up slowly and walked towards the barista who was now walking ahead of them with a key in his hands.“You should be quick when leaving my boss always follows that area and I won’t want him to find you there or I might lose my job.” The barista whispered to Melissa and she nodded totally understanding everything as the barista opened the door for her and she sneaked out. Melissa starts searching for her car key as she ran quickly towards where she packed her car and opened it as she got closer with Sarah behind her.Once sarah was sure Melissa had gotten into the car she turned around and left immediately to enter her own car and escort Melissa home from a d
Late at night, when the hospital was quiet and less crowded, Melissa carefully made her way to Avalor's room. She wore a disguise, hoping to avoid being recognized or questioned by hospital staff. With each step, her heart raced with a mix of anticipation and anxiety.As she approached Avalor's room, Melissa's heart sank when she saw the pale, motionless figure lying in the hospital bed. A sense of sadness washed over her as she realized the severity of their condition. Melissa couldn't help but feel a deep sympathy for Avalor and their employees, who were now facing an uncertain future.Quietly, Melissa stepped closer to the bed,Continuing with her emotions, tears welled up in her eyes as she stood by Avalor's bedside. The sight of their still form and the uncertainty of their recovery overwhelmed her. She couldn't help but imagine the impact this would have on their loved ones, their employees, and the company as a whole.With a heavy heart, Melissa reached out and gently held Avalo
Melissa's determination to overcome her fears and face the challenges ahead grew stronger with each passing day. Despite her anxieties, she knew she couldn't let fear control her life. She made the decision to return to work, eager to dive into her responsibilities as the CEO once again.As Melissa stepped into the office, she was met with a mix of excitement and concern from her colleagues. They were thrilled to have her back but also worried about her well-being, considering her pregnancy. They reminded her to take things slow and prioritize her health and the safety of her unborn triplets.Melissa appreciated their concern and assured them that she would be cautious and take necessary precautions. She understood the importance of balancing her work responsibilities with her pregnancy.Her first task back at work was a massive contract job. The workers approached her with a mix of excitement and caution, knowing the significance of the project and the potential stress it could bring
Melissa woke up to see all the workers surrounding her with a shocked face and the lady who had helped her earlier stepped forward.“You and the CEO didn't tell us you were expecting triplets..that is very awesome news.” the lady said to Melissa who was still confused as to why she was in the hospital to begin with.“Why am I here?” she questioned with a very serious voice.The doctor explained to Melissa that she had experienced a severe case of placenta previa, a condition where the placenta covers the cervix, causing heavy bleeding. It was a dangerous situation for both Melissa and her unborn triplets.Melissa's heart sank as she realized the gravity of the situation. She couldn't leave the hospital, not when her own life and the lives of her babies were at risk. Reluctantly, she agreed to stay and undergo the necessary blood transfusion.As the days passed, Melissa's condition stabilized, and she began to feel a sense of relief. The doctors assured her that with proper care and mo
Melissa tried to process everything ricard had just said, why was it when she felt like things would go back to normal? That's when he suddenly appears and everything gets ruined again.“How can he be your client?” Melissa questioned.“Why can’t it be them?” Richard questioned placing Melissa in another tight position as she though of how else to make Avalor sound bad.“I heard about his company and ugh…he is involved In illegal things, why didn’t you tell me about it before it happened?” Melissa lied.Richard sighed heavily, realizing the weight of the situation. "Avalor's company approached me for a business deal," he explained to Melissa, his voice tinged with regret. "They made an offer that was hard to refuse, and I ended up signing the contract."Melissa's eyes filled with desperation as she pleaded with Richard. "Please, you have to find a way to back out of the deal. Avalor's company is not what it seems, they are involved in illegal activities. I can't let you get caught up i
Avalor paced around his room thinking and hoping Sam was able to follow Lucas and also hoped wherever he led Sam to had Melissa there, just then Sam walked in and took off his hoody.“How did it go? Did you find Melissa?” Avalor asked anxiously.“Yes, she is alive and doing okay but there is juts a little issue.” Sam said as Avalor was happy but at the Same time hoping the little issues won’t drift him further away from Melissa.“What’s this issue?” He asked same who sighed loudly before clearing his throat in attempt to speak.“Melissa isn’t letting her guard down for one bit as she would sniff you coming from miles away and the amazing turn of events is she doesn’t even want you there.” Sam said before taking a seat and Avalor joined him.“I thought you said she was your mate and ran away because of Lucas but why else would she not want you there, even though she didn’t see you she still looked frightened that you might pop out, I am afraid we might have to let her be till she is re
