Melissa rubbed her hand on her eyes sluggishly to wake her up from the slumber she was fall into due to the late night work she was giving herself.
She stared at her computer screen and smiled in victory to how far she had gotten which her speech for the upcoming party as she wasn’t sure she would have the chance to right another due to all her busy schedules, she turned on her phone and went through all her messages including those from Richard making her groan loudly.
“Why did you have to fall in love with me Richard, I can’t be able to handle it all.” She whispered to herself before looking around only to notice that everyone had already gone home leaving only her in the building.
She arranged her bag and was just about to leave when she heard her name being called by a familiar voice.
“Come out, come out wherever you are.” She heard the familiar voice call,
“Who could possibly be calling my name this late at night?” Melissa whispered to herself as she stepped out of her office.
Melissa's heart raced as she recognized the voice calling her name. It was Lucas, the dangerous figure from her past. Panic washed over her as she realized she was in immediate danger. She quickly gathered her belongings and made a split-second decision to escape through the back door of the company.
As she ran through the dimly lit corridors, her mind raced with thoughts of how Lucas had found her. Had he been tracking her all this time? She couldn't let herself dwell on those questions now. Her priority was to get to safety.
Melissa's instincts kicked in as she navigated the unfamiliar hallways, her senses heightened with adrenaline. She knew she couldn't outrun Lucas for long, so she needed to find a place to hide.
Her eyes scanned the surroundings, searching for any sign of an exit or a hiding spot. She spotted a small storage room up ahead and made a beeline for it. With trembling hands, she unlocked the door and slipped inside, closing it silently behind her.
In the darkness of the storage room, Melissa tried to slow her breathing and quiet her racing heart. She knew she needed to stay calm and think of a plan. She pulled out her phone and dialed Richard's number, praying that he would answer.
"Richard, it's Melissa," she whispered urgently when he picked up. "I'm in danger. Lucas has found me. I need help."
Richard's voice was filled with concern and determination. "Melissa, stay where you are. I'm coming to get you. Just hold on."
Melissa felt a glimmer of hope as she heard Richard's reassurance. She knew she had to trust him and wait for his arrival. She huddled in the corner of the storage room, her heart pounding in her chest, as she prayed for Richard to come quickly.
Minutes felt like hours as Melissa waited in the darkness, her mind filled with fear and uncertainty. But just when the silence became unbearable, she heard the sound of footsteps approaching the storage room.
Her heart skipped a beat as the door swung open and Richard's familiar face appeared. Relief washed over her as he reached out a hand to help her up.
"Melissa, are you okay?" Richard asked, his voice filled with concern.
Melissa nodded, her voice shaky. "I'm scared, Richard. He's here, and he wants to hurt me."
Richard's grip tightened on her hand, his eyes filled with determination. "You're safe now, Melissa. I won't let anything happen to you. We'll get through this together."
Richard soon took Melissa to the cctv room to see if she could identify the stranger and maybe they could find him and stop him.
“He is a ruthless person Richard, he won’t stop now that he has found me.” Melissa said nervously making Richard more worried and concerned as she isn’t supposed to be worried at her state.
“Melissa please calm yourself down, we would find whoever this Lucas is.” Richard tried to assure her in hopes that she would be less nervous but nothing seemed to be working in his favor.
As Richard played the security footage, they watched in disbelief as Lucas walked into the building and then vanished as soon as Richard arrived. The footage showed no trace of Lucas leaving or hiding, leaving Richard puzzled.
"Where did he go?" Melissa whispered, her voice filled with fear.
Richard rewound the footage and played it again, hoping to catch any details they might have missed. But there was nothing. Lucas seemed to have disappeared into thin air.
"I don't understand," Richard said, frustration evident in his voice. "How did he manage to escape without a trace?"
Melissa's mind raced with possibilities. Had Lucas anticipated their arrival and planned a quick getaway? Or was there something more sinister at play?
As they continued to analyze the footage, Richard noticed a faint reflection in the corner of the screen. He zoomed in, and they both gasped as they saw a figure lurking in the shadows.
"Who is that?" Melissa asked, her voice trembling.
Richard's jaw clenched as he studied the figure. It was a man wearing a dark hoodie, his face hidden beneath a hood. There was something eerily familiar about him, but Richard couldn't quite place it.
"We need to find out who that is," Richard said with determination.
“They were two of them and I only recognize Lucas in that room not the other man…two people are tracking me.” Melissa said to Richard who was still confused about everything.
“Who is this Lucas guy and why is he chasing after you?” Richard asked Melissa as we realized what she had just done, Richard had just found out about Lucas.
“What aren’t you still telling me? What else are you possibly hiding from me?” Richard asked hoping for once that Melissa would say the truth and confined in him about everything she was hiding.
Melissa's mind raced as she searched for an excuse to appease Richard's curiosity. She knew that revealing her true identity as a werewolf would only complicate matters further. But she also couldn't keep hiding the truth from him forever. "I... I didn't want to burden you with my past," Melissa stammered, her voice filled with hesitation. "Lucas... he's just someone from my past who has some unresolved issues with me. It's complicated, and I didn't think it would affect our relationship."Richard's expression softened as he listened to Melissa's explanation. He could sense that she was holding something back, but he didn't want to pressure her further. He wanted to give her the space she needed to open up when she was ready."I understand that everyone has their own past, Melissa," Richard replied, his voice gentle. "But I want to be there for you, through the good and the bad. You don't have to face these challenges alone."Melissa felt a mix of relief and apprehension. She wanted
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
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
Richard's face softened, his eyes reflecting a mix of guilt and concern. He knew deep down that Melissa was right, but his responsibilities and commitments weighed heavily on him. He sighed, searching for the right words to convey his predicament."I know, Melissa, and I wish I could stay. But this business trip is crucial for our company's future, and I've already made arrangements," Richard explained, his tone filled with regret. "I've been trying to find a solution, though. I've hired a cook who will be staying here with you while I'm gone. She'll take care of everything and make sure you're safe."Melissa's eyes widened in surprise. A cook? She hadn't expected that.As Melissa processed the unexpected news, she couldn't help but feel a mixture of relief and curiosity. A cook staying with her could provide some much-needed support during Richard's absence. It would ease her worries about managing household chores and meals while also ensuring her safety. "Richard, a cook? That's..
Meanwhile, Alpha Avalor lay unconscious, his body weak and vulnerable. Sam, his trusted friend and ally, knew that it was crucial to protect Melissa until Avalor woke up. He couldn't risk Lucas or any other threat harming her in the meantime. That's why he had sent Aunty B, a powerful and mysterious being from a different realm, to keep Melissa safe.As Aunty B continued her conversation with Melissa, she had to be careful not to reveal her true identity. She knew that Melissa's safety depended on her secrecy. Aunty B chose her words carefully, weaving together a tale that would both intrigue and comfort Melissa."Melissa, my dear, I come from a realm where beings like me have special abilities," Aunty B explained, carefully avoiding the mention of werewolves or any specific details. "I have been sent here to protect you, to ensure your safety during this vulnerable time. You see, there are forces at play that seek to harm you, and it is my duty to shield you from them."Melissa's eye
All the board members and co workers that joined in the meeting were stunned at what she had just said , yes they all heard when Richard said Melissa had to take care of everything but they never believed it would be this way…making her the CEO was like giving her overall authority over everyone.One of the board members stood up with a weird smile, “how are we sure we can trust you with a company worth millions?” He questioned Melissa but all Melissa did was smile before also standing up.“Because in just these few months I have contributed more than you can ever contribute and I am not trying to brag but that’s the truth.” Melissa said with so much boldness, just then another board Member stood up.“We can only believe and trust in your legacy if you successfully secure a very important client and even more respect if he decides to sign a contract with this company sooner.” She said to Melissa as Melissa could understand that they were all trying to trap her.“I can do that with my
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

However, as she made her way through the dimly lit streets, a sense of unease washed over her.Melissa couldn't shake off the feeling that someone might be following her. The thought of it being Lucas,made her heart race with fear. She quickened her pace, hoping to reach her car and escape any potential danger.Every sound and shadow seemed amplified as Melissa's imagination ran wild. Her mind raced with scenarios of what might happen if Lucas had indeed found her. She knew she had to stay vigilant and find a way to ensure her safety.Determined to shake off her pursuer, Melissa took a few turns, trying to lose them in the maze of streets.
