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 Richard was right, but the dream had shaken her to her core. The fear and uncertainty that had been lingering in the back of her mind had now taken on a tangible form, haunting her even in her sleep.
Melissa dragged herself out of bed, exhaustion weighing heavily on her as she made her way downstairs. She needed some time alone to gather her thoughts and process the unsettling dream that had shaken her awake.
As she settled onto the couch, a sense of unease settled over her once again. The image of Avalor, the man who had caused her so much pain, flashed through her mind. She couldn't shake off the fear that he might have woken up from his coma and was now out to seek revenge.
Melissa's heart raced as she imagined Avalor lurking in the shadows, watching their every move. She couldn't help but feel a sense of vulnerability, knowing that their newfound sense of security could be shattered at any moment.
She tried to reason with herself, reminding herself that Avalor was supposed to be in a coma. But the fear persisted, gnawing at her thoughts and intensifying her anxiety. The trauma she had endured had left deep scars, both physical and emotional, and it was difficult to let go of the constant fear that had become ingrained in her.
Melissa knew she couldn't keep these fears to herself any longer. She needed to confide in Richard and share her concerns. She took a deep breath, mustering the courage to speak up and voice her worries.
Richard, who had followed Melissa downstairs, noticed the worry etched on her face. He sat down beside her, gently placing a hand on her shoulder.
"What's troubling you, Melissa?" he asked, his voice filled with concern.
Melissa hesitated for a moment, her words caught in her throat. But she knew she couldn't keep her fears locked away any longer. She took a deep breath and finally spoke up.
Melissa took a deep breath, her heart pounding in her chest. She knew she couldn't keep her fears to herself any longer. Instead of confiding in Richard, she decided to take matters into her own hands.
"Richard, I need you to take me back to the hospital," Melissa said, her voice filled with urgency.
Richard looked at her with concern, his brows furrowing. "Melissa, what's wrong? You just got out of the hospital. Is something happening?"
Melissa hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to explain her fears without sounding paranoid. But she knew she had to be honest with Richard, even if it meant risking his disbelief.
"I had a dream, Richard," she began, her voice trembling slightly. "A dream about Avalor. And now, I can't shake off this feeling that he might still be a threat, even though he's supposed to be in a coma."
Richard's eyes widened in surprise and worry. He had seen firsthand the trauma that Avalor had inflicted on Melissa, and the thought of him waking up and seeking revenge was terrifying. But he also knew that Melissa's fears could be a result of her past experiences and the trauma she had endured.
"Melissa, I understand your concerns," Richard said gently, reaching out to hold her hand. "But we have to trust the doctors and the security measures in place. Avalor is being closely monitored, and the authorities are doing everything they can to ensure our safety."
Melissa shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes. "I know, Richard, but the fear is consuming me. I can't live like this, constantly looking over my shoulder. I need to see someone, a professional who can help me sort through these feelings."
Richard's expression softened as he realized the depth of Melissa's distress. He understood that her fears were rooted in the trauma she had experienced, and he didn't want to dismiss her concerns.
"Okay, Melissa," he said, his voice filled with compassion. "If seeing someone will help ease your fears and give you peace of mind, then I will support you. We'll go back to the hospital and find a professional who can help you."
Melissa nodded, grateful for Richard's understanding and support. She knew that facing her fears head-on was the only way to overcome them. She couldn't let the fear control her life any longer.
As they drove back to the hospital, Melissa's mind raced with a mix of trepidation and hope. She knew that seeking professional help was a step in the right direction, but she also couldn't shake off the nagging doubt that Avalor might still be a threat.
When they arrived at the hospital, Melissa was taken to a psychiatrist who specialized in trauma and anxiety. She poured her heart out, explaining her fears and the impact they were having on her daily life.
But Melissa knew why she was really here, she was here to check on Avalor,she wanted to confirm if he was really in coma or not, if he had woken up and wants to take her to the other realm.
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
“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 Russ
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
