Melissa's sudden fear and confusion overwhelmed her, causing her to panic. She desperately tried to free herself from the confines of the car, her heart pounding in her chest. "No, let me go!" she cried, her voice filled with terror. "I don't know who you really are! I can't trust you!"
Lucas's heart sank as he watched Melissa struggle, her fear evident in her eyes. He knew he had to calm her down and reassure her of his intentions. "Melissa, please listen to me," he pleaded, his voice filled with sincerity. "I would never hurt you. I love you, and I'm here to protect you."
Melissa's struggles momentarily ceased as she looked into Lucas's eyes, searching for any sign of deception. "But why did you take me away like this? Why didn't you tell me the truth?" she asked, her voice trembling with a mix of fear and confusion.
Lucas took a deep breath, trying to find the right words to explain his actions. "Melissa, there are things about you, about us, that you don't know," he began, his voice gentle yet firm. "I had to bring you to safety, away from those who would harm you and our unborn twins. I wanted to tell you everything, but I couldn't risk it until we were away from prying eyes."
Melissa's fear slowly subsided, replaced by a glimmer of curiosity. "What do you mean, things about us?" she asked, her voice filled with a mixture of apprehension and intrigue.
Lucas reached out and gently cupped Melissa's face, his touch tender and comforting. "Melissa, we are not like other humans," he said, his voice filled with a sense of wonder. "We have powers, abilities that make us different. And there are those who would seek to exploit those powers, to use them for their own gain. I couldn't let that happen to you or our children."
Melissa's eyes widened as she absorbed Lucas's words, a mix of disbelief and acceptance crossing her face. "Powers? But how is that possible?" she asked, her voice filled with a sense of awe.
Lucas took a moment to gather his thoughts, knowing that what he was about to reveal would change everything. "Melissa, I am a supernatural being, a being of magic," he confessed, his voice steady yet filled with vulnerability. "And you, my love, you possess the same magic within you. Our children will be born with these powers as well."
Melissa's mind reeled with the enormity of Lucas's revelation. She had always felt different, but she never imagined that she was part of a world filled with magic and supernatural beings. "I... I don't know what to say," she stammered, her voice filled with a mix of wonder and uncertainty.
Lucas gently squeezed Melissa's hand, his eyes filled with love and understanding. "I know this is a lot to take in, Melissa," he said, his voice filled with reassurance. "But I promise you, I will protect you and our children with everything I have. We will navigate this new world together, and I will never let anything harm you."
Melissa's mind was in turmoil as she processed Lucas's revelation. The idea of possessing supernatural powers seemed too fantastical to be true. She couldn't wrap her head around the fact that she was part of a world she had never known existed. Doubt and uncertainty crept into her thoughts, causing her to question Lucas's motives.
As Lucas continued to hold her hand, his eyes filled with love and understanding, Melissa's fear began to resurface. She couldn't fully trust him, not yet. The overwhelming need for answers and the desire to escape this confusing situation consumed her.
In a moment of desperation, Melissa saw an opportunity. She noticed a police car up ahead, its flashing lights indicating a potential safety net. Without a second thought, she mustered all her strength and shouted for help, hoping that the police would hear her cries.
Lucas's heart sank as he realized what Melissa was doing. He knew he had to act quickly to prevent her from making a grave mistake. With a heavy heart, he stopped the car, giving Melissa the chance to escape.
As soon as the car came to a halt, Melissa flung open the door and bolted out, her feet pounding against the pavement. Panic fueled her every step as she ran towards the approaching police car, her voice still echoing with pleas for help.
The police officers, startled by Melissa's sudden appearance, quickly reacted. They cautiously approached her, their hands on their holsters. "Ma'am, what's going on? Are you in danger?" one of the officers asked, his voice filled with concern.
Tears streamed down Melissa's face as she tried to catch her breath. "Please, you have to help me! He's not who he says he is!" she cried, pointing back towards the car where Lucas stood, his face etched with anguish.
The officers exchanged glances, unsure of how to proceed. They had to assess the situation carefully, considering both Melissa's distress and Lucas's presence. One of the officers radioed for backup, requesting additional units to the scene.
Meanwhile, Lucas approached the officers slowly, his hands raised in a gesture of surrender. "Officers, please, let me explain," he pleaded, his voice filled with urgency. "I love Melissa, and I would never harm her. There's more to this story than she knows."
The officers maintained their cautious stance, keeping a close eye on Lucas. They knew they had to ensure everyone's safety before proceeding. "Sir, we need you to step back and let us handle this," one of the officers instructed, his voice firm.
Lucas complied, taking a step back, his eyes never leaving Melissa's trembling form. He understood the officers' need to protect her, but he couldn't bear the thought of losing her. He had to find a way to convince them of his true intentions.
As backup units arrived at the scene, the officers began to gather information from both Melissa and Lucas. Lucas knew his chances had become more slim.
The police officers remained skeptical of Lucas's claims, their duty to investigate and protect Melissa guiding their actions. They decided to conduct tests on Melissa to determine if there was any truth to her allegations of being drugged.Melissa was taken to the hospital, where medical professionals performed a thorough examination. They drew blood and ran tests to detect any substances in her system that could validate her claims. As she waited anxiously for the results, Lucas was taken into custody and placed behind bars.Meanwhile, Melissa's mind was a whirlwind of emotions. She couldn't believe that the person she loved could possibly be capable of such deception. Doubt seeped into her thoughts as she questioned her own judgment.Days passed, and the test results finally came back. The medical report confirmed Melissa's suspicions – she had indeed been drugged. The revelation sent shockwaves through the police department, forcing them to reevaluate the situation.With the evide

He knew that they were up against a dangerous adversary, and his instinct was to prioritize her safety above all else. However, he also understood the urgency in Melissa's voice and saw the determination in her eyes.Taking a deep breath, Richard made a decision. "Alright, Melissa," he said, his voice filled with both concern and resolve. "If leaving the hospital is what you truly believe is best, then I will support you. But I want you to promise me that you'll take it easy and prioritize your well-being."Melissa nodded, grateful for Richard's understanding. She knew that she had to be cautious and take care of herself, especially considering her pregnancy. "I promise, Richard," she replied, her voice filled with gratitude. "I won't push myself too hard. Our safety is my priority, but I'll listen to my body and rest when I need to."With their decision made, Richard quickly contacted the hospital staf
The doctor took a moment to consider Melissa and Richard's request. After weighing the risks and understanding their concerns, the doctor finally agreed to let Melissa receive her medication and necessary care at home, under the condition that she would be closely monitored and follow all instructions.Relief washed over Melissa as she realized that she wouldn't have to stay in the hospital. She knew that being in a familiar and safe environment would greatly benefit her mental and emotional well-being, which in turn would positively impact her physical health.As Richard and Melissa drove home, a sense of cautious optimism filled the car. They were finally taking control of their situation and finding ways to navigate the challenges they faced.

Fear gripped Melissa as she tried to process what she had just se
With tears streaming down her face, Melissa pleaded with her babies, promising to protect them and keep them safe. But as she reached out to touch them, they began to fade away, their cries fading with them. In an instant, they were gone, leaving Melissa alone and filled with a sense of loss and emptiness.Melissa's eyes flew open, her body drenched in a cold sweat. She gasped for air, her heart pounding in her chest. It took a moment for her to realize that it was just a dream, but the emotions it stirred within her were all too real.Richard, who had been awakened by Melissa's sudden movement, immediately pulled her into his arms. He held her tightly, offering comfort and reassurance. Melissa clung to him, her body trembling as she tried to shake off the remnants of the dream."It was just a dream, Melissa," Richard whispered soothingly. "Our babies are safe, and we will do everything we can to protect them."Melissa nodded, her breathing gradually returning to normal. She knew that
The moon party kicked off and I knew I was going to have fun. Everyone was clad in white or silver and had their heads decorated.I was on my fourth potion when I noticed people staring at me in disgust.I felt uncomfortable but I ignored them and continued to have another drink, I was so happy today because it was rumored heavily that the moon collided with the stars today and made finding mates so much easier.I was twenty-two years old without a mate and it was embarrassing, I was taking yet another drink when a girl stood abruptly before me."Goddess!" I shouted, "You scared me!" placing a hand on my chest as she continued to look at me like a crazy person then she smiled."Look, I don't know if you know but this is strictly by invitation…" she trailed off and I looked up at her, astonished by her audacity. "People are staring and we don't want you to make people uncomfortable," she said and took a good look at me.What did she mean by that!?"Uncomfortable, how?" I asked, my vo
The next thing I heard was laughter. Deep bowels of cackling.I stopped blinking for a second as the voice owner stepped out from the shadows. It was Aria.Who didn't know Aria? If she wasn't with a new boyfriend tomorrow she was off making sure all the younger and older wolves got it hot from her. When I first arrived here, she was the first person I knew to avoid.She was trouble."Lucius you should know who she is" She gave a deep breath between each laughter as she looked at me intently.Lucius didn't seem to grab onto what she was saying as he looked at her continuously."Mateless? Wolfless?" She echoed and my head spun.What did she mean by that?Was there some sort of rumor about me somewhere?"Oh! That omega?" Lucius exclaimed and they shared a laugh to my expense.I looked at both of them before deciding that I was not going to deal with any of this and turned around swiftly."Come back here!" Lucius shouted at me and I stood rooted in my spot, the power of the bond holding
I haven't thought about it for long before my nose picked up a scent and I immediately closed my nose to prevent me from inhaling more pungent odors that accompanied the scent.I immediately stepped back and wanted to move towards a direction I knew nothing about when a man emerged from nowhere.I stumbled back to where I was coming from, my eyes getting more and more used to the red marks that were heavily marked into the trees that surrounded me.How had I not seen it before?How had I not smelled the dangers that lurked and now moved towards me in this forest?I was a long way away from the ice stone pack, I was in the stolen lands.Lands owned by a ruthless being, one that was never seen only heard and felt.The same being that had my parents killed.Every ounce of me rejected this place but I didn't have much of a choice since I was still the same person within the area.I turned, wanting to pass another route to escape the man as he staggered towards me and I saw not one but two
What the man had said came to pass and in less than seconds I was free and bodies were decapitated in disproportionate portions.I scurried away trying to hide inside a tree as the man approached me with blood Splattered generously across his rock-hard chest.Fear didn't allow me to look up at him, for fear of what I would see."Hello pup," he said and inched closer to me, his face obscured from my vision as I kept my head bowed. Something in me felt dirty but the moment his hands touched me and raised my eyes to meet his, I felt safe and his startling blue eyes made my insides jump in excitement and suddenly I was in heat again.I caressed his hands, feeling any for cuts but coming up with nothing. His eyes held the world and held nothing at the same time and something in me wanted to be at the center of whatever it was that he was doing.Slowly, my heart pulsed with need and his smirk spread out fully on his face. I wanted this man. I didn't know why and to think I just saw a feral
