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 to still be a bit nervous or frightened around me but I don’t think that should stop you from telling me your name and how you ended up bleeding on the sideway?” Richard said moving closer to me while I moved backward. “I want to leave.” I whispered innocently like I was frightened as that was the easiest way to get into any human heart. “Haaaa!!” Richard exclaimed making me a bit frightened. “You want to leave? In your current condition and with you being stranded!” He added making me chuckle, he must really think I am helpless. “I would find my way…I just can’t stay here.” I said to him with a sad expression. “Why can’t you stay here? This house also belongs to you and you won’t be discomforting me in anyway because I want you to be here.” Richard said to me but my eyes where directly on the door as I was ready to race out but just silently waited for the right moment. “Do you plan on running away because I told you not to leave and you think I am kidnapper or something?” He asked making me open my mouth widely in astonishment as I felt like he could read my mind widely. “How?” I murmured. “Your face tells it all, so now that you know it would be bad idea to run away in a place you aren’t famous with can I finally know your name and how you ended up in that critical condition I found you in?” Richard asked with a side as he moved close to me and took a seat tapping the seat beside him for me to also sit. “Please take a seat and talk to me..I can’t harm you and we aren’t the only ones in the building so tell me everything and trust me this once.” Richard added as I finally relaxed and took a seat beside him while still adjusting my dress, what even made me whee this dress? “Fine, since you are really curious to know what exactly happened to me, I would tell it to you.” I said still trying to delay time as I thought of how to start and remembered, he was a human which clearly means he knows nothing about the werewolf realm and telling him my story would be a waste of time as he won’t understand anything. “I saw the photo of you and your dad so you can’t lie to me.” Richard added making me immediately change the story I had started coming up with in my mind. “Yes he is my father and unfortunately he is dead.” I began while trying very hard to formulate tears in my eyes, as that was te only way he would even try to believe me. “Where are you coming from, what happened to …I really want to know how you lost so much blood?” Richard said with a worried look. “Some men tried to rape me and I fought them and from that encounter one of the men tore my hand while I tried escaping but I was able to successfully escape their wrath.” I murmured in a tone he would be able to hear while I slowly weeped and not because I was faking it or because I had to but because I started remembering what Lucas did to me. “You don’t have to cry, if you don’t want to talk about it just stop.. I now understand all what you have passed through and won’t want to trigger any bad memories you have of the past.” Richard said placing a comforting hand on my shoulder as I nodded. “I went through more than torture and whenever I remember I just can’t help but weep in agony, I don’t want to go back to my past but at the same time I don’t want to owe my life to anyone just because I am stranded.” I said to him making him chuckle as he continued to pat my shoulder. “You don’t owe me a thing, and I won’t be asking you to pay me back for anything because i am ready to help in anyway I can.” Richard said as I smiled back at him very much grateful for the kind of person the moon goddess brought to me. “Thank you so much Richard but I won’t want to do anything for free for me.” I said when am idea came to me. “I am well educated and you seem like a CEO of a big company so why don’t you employ me to work for you that way I won’t feel so burden with the fact that you do everything for me all for free.” I said to him as he smiled weakly. “You don’t have to work but since you want it that way fine… but you must promise to stay with me.”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
“Wow! That was scary for a woman who looked at nice.” I murmured to myself while I watched her return to her desk, here I was thinking that I was just about to make my first friend.The first hours of my resumption was quite fun, as I watched the workers play around with each other and it seemed this little lady who threatened me was the boss around this smaller level of the company and it also seemed like Richard placed me in one of te highest level of the company.“Lisa, the CEO wants to see you.” One of the employees said as I turned around to be sure it’s me.“Me!!” I asked.“Yes you.” She replied while giggling.“My name isn’t Lisa.” I replied a bit confused.“Melissa can also be abbreviated into Lisa.” She said before tapping my shoulder and walking away.I stood up and walked towards Richard office when I heard my name again.“Lisa, he is in the general lunch room.” She yelled from afar as everyone stared at me, I used my eyes to scan the labels that were placed around for new
Avalor had become even more impatient With all the bad news that everyone kept feeding his ears with bitter words.“Alpha.” The messenger who had just gave the message that the new he just sent couldn’t find her.He wrapped his tightly into a fist,” so you mean to tell me that Melissa vanished into thin air or are you saying she flew out of this territory that even security cameras can’t find her?” Alpha Avalor questioned, just when the messenger was hopeless and ready and ready to bear with whatever was about to happen, Alpha Avalor beta walked in.“Alpha, we seems to be searching the wrong place all these days.” His beta said to him as he told with an interesting stare, chasing the messenger who was forever grateful to the beta for walking in at that time.“So what do you mean by we have been searching the wrong place all these while?” Avalor asked before taking a seat, the beta dropped his laptop on the Alpha’s desk so the alpha would be able to see everything he was about to demon
The maids quickly began to prepare all Alpha Avalor belongings as his elders continued to plead with him.“I don’t have a choice!!! You are me decide to take such drastic decisions, I pleaded with you to give me more time but you threatened to give what I worked so hard for me to my half brother!!” Avalor yelled at the elders words of plea.“Fine, we would give you more time to find a mate.” The elders said making Alpha Avalor chuckle.“What don’t you get in everything I have been saying? Melissa is my mate!” He yelled In annoyance to the fact that they think he stole Melissa from someone.“But she wasn’t your mate?” “Is it what you heard from that bastard territory! Is he still claiming Melissa as his own, I was made her second chance mate by the moon goddess.” Avalor was more frustrated from within than he even sounded.“We believe you Alpha Avalor but what we don’t want is for you to have to face any dangerous thing in the human realm.” They pleaded while the maid brought down jus
