Melissa's POV"Time up," he let out, however, he was still holding me tight."Lissa…" my name came out of his lips sweetly and my heart pumped faster, "Time up." He repeated, sounding husky."Err—" my voice malfunctioned, I couldn't process anything to say. "You should let…""Let go of my hands." He whispered quickly. Immediately, I looked down. I was mortified to see my hands pressing flatly upon his, "Err—" I freed it instantly and yanked from him. Embarrassed, I paced faster.My heart almost fell out of my chest. Why crossed the lane? Why was my chest sounding vehement?! Gosh! What was all this mess!!!Before I become conscious of myself, he was already pulling me toward his car. I was staggering as my legs were too heavy to lift. "Seems your legs were still aching." He murmured and lifted me in bridal style.My senses function immediately. Stacy was right there, staring at us if I was not mistaken. "What the hell are you doing?""Hey! Place me down!" I struggled.His grip tight
Melissa's POVMy face drifted to him as he snorted with his usual self-centered contentment smile. And that always irritates me. So irritating that I couldn't keep glaring at him. I averted my gaze quickly and sniffed slightly to mount up courage in me.Yet, his profound voice came to me more audibly. "Melissa, the family you are engaging in, was the Shark Mafia's heir. Your existence was the reason both families maintain their territories to date. And through you, we will become family, sort of. While that happened with you, I become the governor.""In a nutshell, They will help me achieve my goal."Silence brimmed my heart. I found my room very stuffy and his presence ignites those deadly heat. I looked through his dark orb so intensely. He was emotionless and all I could see was his greed for power."Nonetheless, if you are smart enough to accomplish this mission, I will terminate your engagement."I was listening to him but deep in my core, I wasn't myself and that was obvious to
Melissa's POVI briefly read it while squinting my eyes hard. Expectantly, Lord Scott stretched a hand to me to receive the paper. With shaking hands, I handed it to him. I was so tensed as my chest fiercely pounds.As soon as he read it, a devilish smile crammed his face. "Since you decided to save him. He will be put to death by other Whale's Snipers."My feet wandered aimlessly toward the back until I got stopped by the bed. I sutured at him unwaveringly while my butts docked on the bed and got bouncing me up like a rubber band.'This wasn't my decision! Not at all!' I shook my head vigorously as I did not want to admit it. Right there, my thought got playback to the moment I saved the Priest.If not for the fact that the gunshot was a sedative, I would have died by now. Then, how on earth was I supposed to stop a sniper's bullet from hitting a man?In all my life, I have learned how to kill but not to save."I'm doing this for you, Melissa. You oppose your marriage, thus I believe
Melissa's POVIn and out of me couldn't withstand how I felt. The fact that I was so annoyed made every damn breeze stuffy against my skin. Likewise was my room so much more stuffy than hell! I rushed to the balcony as if being pursued. Docked my butt on the Hammock chairs and swung around for a minute while throwing my back against the chair for proper relaxation.My red eyes focused solely on the Starry Sky. Soon, some life-saving breezes started spanking me every bit second. This was so needy for me.However, not long as I felt comfortable. All that happened between me and my father started flushing back in my head. Proportionally, multiplying the grieves in me. I raged to the point that the chair could no longer contain me.I swing back and pulled my legs down to stop the swings abruptly. Like a patrolling soldier, I got yanked out from it but got halted by the railings. My grip grasped it as I clenched it with dead-fastened fists. My palms blushed reddishly. With a long face to
Donald's POV"Just f*cking... stay put!" I shook her vigorously but Stacy had become rigor under my grip.She was too stiffened that I felt like I held a stone. Only the gulping down of her throat inferred she was a living being. Hurriedly, the tip of my tongue licked the bottom of my lips and that tasted so bitter. It tasted sour... that I furrowed my face like tasting a lemon.I took a breath in and closed my eyes briefly to calm down to a bit of a human level.I was baffled that I didn't notice when the necklace got missed. How? Meanwhile, I felt Stacy's terror. Perhaps this appearance was scaring the sh*t out of her.With her and Michael, I have been so cautioned never to shapeshift in their presence. However, it happened unexpectedly.The saddest part was it happened on this Bloodmoon night! I shook Stacy and called to revive her. "Stacy...." but my voice was dried. It kept sounding beastly.On putting her acts together, she backed off and rushed to the balcony, her gaze harde
Melissa's POVWhere I was, was inconvenient for me. I felt stuffy that profuse sweat covered me up. With the difficulties to find liberty, I gasped out suddenly. My eyes opened into dim darkness. Tonnes of surprise took over me as my little muddled head took a while to register where I was and what was happening to me.As I tried to reposition, I felt restricted. My body had been tied up and my head was covered completely. Like a gifting parcel, my entire wholesome was wrapped up. "B*tch!!!" I screamed but only feel my voice back in my throat. Duct tape was made to cover my mouth as well. As I struggled, my head hit a flat mental-like structure and dived me back to the laying position I was.Who were those bitches? Father wouldn't go this far with me when my task has not yet started. I haven't revoked his order.Suddenly, clamorous noises brimmed my hearing. It sounded like bullets over metals. As another one came by, the loudness gave me a hint and I got the full awareness of wher
WARNING: The chapter may be horrific. Kindly Beware.Melissa's POVWith keen alertness, I sneaked towards the side of the wall. However, the noise exploded again. I plastered my back against the wall and held to my breath so that the sound could minimize but my pulse pumped vehemently.About to run, the sound howled again. Fearfully, I got startled and plastered my back against the wall, however, I shrank to the back.Before I knew it, I was already down with a heavy thud. In awe as I lay flat on the ground.Again, the same noise came echoing, I jolted up as I felt it greatly in there. "Holy sh*t!"Once on both feet, I hurriedly close the door behind me. My back was against the door while I inhaled some fresh air. Profuse sweats already oozed out of me, I took some breath in to make my pulse steady. Patiently, I cling my ear to the door to listen if there were footsteps nearer.I breathe out strongly as I heard nothing.Tending to calm down, I sneezed. A strong musky smell was perceiv
Melissa's POVI had thought I was not going to survive it, however, faintly, I heard multiple voices resounding in my head. "You have to do it now before she wakes up!" It took a while before I process what I heard. Partially, I opened an eye and rolled it within the socket to scan through where I was. Instead, my vision was blurred. "No! I can't! I can't just do that to anyone!" came another voice but very dim like a male voice. It held a strange resonance frequency. If I was to be fed to that monster... I wouldn't have woken up... right? That was just a terrible nightmare! I was alive!But what were they planning to do to me before I woke up?I held my breath and listen patiently to figure out what those conversations meant. "Come on! Not like you haven't touched a girl before. This girl must not know that about you. She saw you out there. Do it or else I kill her." The voice was feminine yet sounded threatening as she blurted out."Hey! Relax!! You are not gonna threaten me a
/Melissa's POV/ My face shrunk as Stacy ranted nonstop. Thick sweats mingled with her unsteady breaths as she unfolded her fear to me. "It's ok, Stacy. Breathe in and out slowly." I urged her. I have never seen Stacy appear this vulnerable in my presence. She always held up her head and stood strong all the time. Little did I know she could be this weak and timid. She crashed into the nearby chair. One of her hands was shaking vigorously which she held in place with the other hand yet both hands kept shaking vehemently against her thighs. Meanwhile, Sister Jane still hugged Kiera while I sat quietly beside Stacy, trying all my efforts to console her. Silence was all I felt, I was confused and did not know where to start consoling her. "I thought Ezio was his only brother. So you guys have twin siblings?" "He didn't tell you?" She muffled quietly, making me doubt if she had spoken. "Tell me what?" I replied in her tone. I just want to sound more sympathetic. "I wasn't related
Melissa's POVLater in the evening, I left for the hospital. I shouldn't have told the doctor about my fear. I shouldn't have told him I don't want my family to involve. But how could I have kept it from my family?It has been 2 months since I was diagnosed with stage 4 blood cancer back in Germany. The exact illness that took my mom's life. My mom didn't make it alive despite treatments and surgeries. How would I make it? I already give it up since the doctor said I have a few months left but I should do well and come for treatment because of pain. What pain was much more than lying on the sickbed while counting your days slipping out of you every single minute? Instead of yielding to treatments, I'd want to endure the pain out here in the world while I make the little time I have left worth living.I decided to do those things I didn't have the chance to do. Wasn't it pathetic that I wasn't as lucky as my Mom? She was fortunate to die in the arms of her lover.Since I couldn't hav
Melissa's POV I crept my way to the library as I couldn't keep mingling with Donald's breath in the class. Yet, it was so pity I couldn't escape from him as I have thought. His sudden presence in the library startled me. My breath reversed as he approach me with intent. I flinched, wishing to disappear into the book I was reading. A huge gasp of breath escaped from my lung as he paused on his steps abruptly, however, I haven't normalized when his hand swing off the book from my hands. I became stupefied. My eyes connected with his dazzling eyes. They pierce at me like a dreadful monster. I didn't snatch out of his spell easily until he disappeared from the library. I creased my brows as I felt the mixture of sadness and joy in me as of the moment his presence was no longer felt. —I was joyous because I got to see him and his presence there tells me he came for me. However, I was sad that he left too quickly and I couldn't do anything to stop him. As soon as I realized I have miss
Donald's POV"Don't mutter it...! Don't even think of it," Stacy said, her eyes glowing with pleads. "I vow to capture him. Please count it on me...huh!" She added."Am I gonna sit and watch him as he expands his zone? It was just two weeks since I dispatched him." I replied, making Stacy speechless.Definitely, he was sent as a spy to the Shark Wing. Unfortunately, Alessandro took the bait just like I did... now, I'm regretting it. I grieved more. The most soothing aspect of my operations was the collection of my victim's database. For each of my victims, I access their database through their electronic gadgets. Their database in my grasp made me feel this special kind of joy as their conqueror and with that, I could make such victims my puppet whenever I want... especially if they got out of my den unharmed.Frisco had done the same with Melissa when I haven't used it against her. How dare he?"That scumbag got the gut to use my trick against me. I trusted him...! I trusted him so
Donald's POVI strolled through the shelves of books in the Library while sneaking my eyes to search for Melissa. I close my eyes briefly and my body shivered to respond to the earthy floral scent that suddenly stuck in my nostrils. It made my steps pause and awakened me in a way I couldn't fathom. Quickly, I sneaked my eyes through the stack of books on the shelf intending to catch sight of Melissa secretly.Feeling her warm scent nearer, I wander my feet to the next shelf. My attempt to see her was futile. My steps took a very slow pace as my finger rode through those books as though I was checking for my favorite book. Just like she sneaked out of my embrace, she also cowered out of my sight as soon as the free period started. Ever since I have been stalking her. I couldn't believe I stalk her until I got stuck in this murky place where I hate to stay the most. The smell of books was too toxic and unpleasant to me. I wonder why students found these dense books lodge a pleasant pl
Melissa's POV "Ms. Ella, your class has a new student." Mr. Andrew, the homeroom teacher called the attention of a fair skinny woman in her early-30s. She seems to just start the class as she was writing the Subject's name on the whiteboard. I signed inwardly as several eyes scowled at me like I'm a ghost. I instinctively gestured a waving hand at them to reduce the awkwardness. The scowl in their eyes wasn't surprising to me. —Usually, final year classes don't admit new students, over it all, this was the last semester and I have spent two months from it in my previous school out of the five months in the semester's calendar. This tells how notorious Davis Scott was! As soon as Mr. Andrew left, Ms. Ella smiled tenderly, "You can introduce yourself, Ms. Red." Gasping laughter filled up the classroom. My brows furrowed confusingly. Ms. Ella raised a brow at me in return and her hand gesture to urge me to be fast. My teeth gritted with a grimace. 'Swallow it up, Melissa.' My i
Melissa's POV"Ah... Please don't stop.... ouch!""Ah... Please... Yes... don't beat back... ouch!""Ah..ah...ah... Keep aching me... bad!" My feet paused as I enter the female's restroom. Loud erotic moans filled the air. The fact that the main door was left unlocked while this was going on in the small Stall amused me.Why would students lack so much decency?Loud and steamy, their moans kept impeding my hearing. I went straight to the last Stall to empty my bowel. The food I eat early in the morning tends to constipate me. Usually, I don't eat breakfast early in the morning until 10 am upward, however, I couldn't handle the growling of my stomach since dawn. So, as soon as I left Donald's house, I branched to a restaurant to eat. So, unfortunately, It went on the wrong side of me.Huge smiles crammed my face as I recalled my moment with Donald. I wouldn't have believed that man slept in my embrace overnight if not that my pure eyes confirming it.I opened my eyes to see his hands
Donald's POVThe melody from the cool morning breeze danced the curtain away from its rest. The blond rays of the sunrise escaped through the opened curtain and poured their beauty on my gentle sleepy face. I had opened my eyes for a while but I felt so weak to stand up. I haven't slept a pleasant sleep in a long time. I plunge my face into the pillow, rolling my length to and fro as I felt lazier to stand up. However, as I remember I spent the night with Melissa in my embrace and I was the only one in bed this morning, I sat up abruptly and prowled my gaze around. No wonder the sleep was the most peaceful one I had. Was it because I was laying in an angel's embrace? I snickered.I got disappointed when I didn't see her in the room. Daily, it seems I've been getting addicted to her presence... her melodious voice.... and her scent... Now, her warmth was tempting me. "Melissa, are you there?" I knocked on the bathroom door. Her scent had left my side for a while, so I thought she co
Donald's POVI didn't voice a reply but observed him raging. To be candid, Ezio was a beloved brother to me. He didn't treat me differently and most Lycan who couldn't differentiate wolf scent apart from Lycans would think I was a Lycan.That was the level of intimacy we once shared. However, from the last 5 years that we were separated, I have grown and I'd know when I was loved genuinely from just facial sympathy."I'm gonna do everything to break that Sire Bond and shatter you into pieces. That's what you get for having eyes on my thing." He grunted and his monstrous fangs hardened together. "Whether sired or not. I've only come here to give you a warning. I don't take lightly what I owned." I paused briefly and clashed my shoulder against his to pave way for me. He stood rigid. Already knew that was what I'd do to make him pave the way for me. I whipped my head to him and our breath intertwined murderously. With a rocky pitch that sounded coarse, I creaked out a warning full of
