MelissaFreya seemed to have taken my conversation with my father to heart because throughout the entire day, she said not more than two words to me, and it was infuriating. In fact, everything ranging from my father’s marriage to my mates to my stepsister and even my best friend, were all infuriating. And I still didn’t know how to manage it all. The full moon was coming in two days’ time which meant that it was already two months since I entered into this unusual predicament.I have been tempted to end it all; tempted to call everyone involved and tell them the entire truth just so that I would live in peace, but anytime I thought of the consequences of doing that, the temptation disappears.The portrait Alan had given me caught my eye while I sat on my bed, and I walked towards it with a rag in hand. While admiring myself and my wolf, I began to clean off the dust on it when a sharp knock came to my door.“Melissa.” One of the servants called from behind and I hurriedly went to the
MelissaThe night of the full moon came with all its glory, and I woke up to hear howling sounds from the wolves to signify that it was time. With quick steps, I walked into my bathroom to have a bath, trying my best to control Lia’s giddiness as she couldn’t wait to get to the shifting square and take over our body. I couldn’t blame her for her excitement, she has been trapped inside my body for twenty-nine days, so she had every right to feel excited tonight.My shower ended quickly, and I walked out into the room to dry my body. As I combed my hair and watched myself through the mirror, one of the servants stuck her head through my already opened door and smiled at me. “Your father and stepmother have gone to the shifting square already.” She said to me. “The alpha ordered Alan to bring you and Freya.”“Of course. Thank you, Abby.” I said, smiling at her through the mirror and she left the same way she had come. I shook my head in indifference, not the least surprised that my fath
ZacharyShe was kissing him.I blinked twice from where I sat by the hill, trying to convince myself that she wasn’t the one I was looking at, but the anger from my wolf made it very clear to me. Of all people in the world that she could kiss, of all men and women in the entire pack that she could lock lips with, she decided to pick Alan. Alan, who was supposed to be stepbrother. Alan, who I hated with every fiber of my being and wanted to kill every opportunity I got. Melissa was kissing Alan, and I sat still like a fool, watching them.It was infuriating and very annoying to know that my hunch had been very correct. I had had my suspicions about them, knew that something was definitely going on between both of them, but when she told me it was nothing, I forced myself to believe her. Seeing them intimate like that, seeing them clinging to eachother and kissing like they would die if they didn’t, was like a blow to my stomach.I turned away from the sight not being able to take it a
MelissaMy heart skipped a beat as I stared at Zachary. There was a scary look on his face that had me completely worried, and even though we were already far away enough from eachother, I took another step back, just in case he decided to react.How could I have missed him yesterday? I wondered to myself as my heart searched for the answer that wouldn’t sound ridiculous to his ears. Normally, I would have noticed his presence yesterday, but I was too distracted with Alan to notice. Now he was hurt, and mad, and looked like he was going to kill me.How had he felt? I wondered again, because I knew I would have killed anyone who dared to lock lips with him. How had he managed to watch Alan and I kiss passionately without doing anything ridiculous? What was I supposed to say to calm him down right now?“I want you to be calm, Professor Zach.” I said, making the mistake of calling him by his title and he walked forward towards me, yanking my hand until I was almost against his chest.“Do
MelissaI couldn’t stop touching my lips. No matter how much I tried, it was impossible not to touch it, or feel it, or think of the moment Zachary had kissed me. The kiss had been a quick one, but that didn’t make it any less special. It hadn’t been what I was anticipating and for someone who had thought about kissing Zachary over and over again, I would say I was very much surprised. I knew not every girl would have appreciated being yanked like that and kissed without her consent, but I found myself liking it. His kiss had been fast and rough, with so much passion put in it and it made me realize that when something is forbidden, you end up wanting it more.The sound of the alarm all around the school snapped me out of my reverie and I quickly turned to see some of my classmates already getting their things ready to go home. I turned to Freya who was staring deeply into space as if something was bothering her, and even though we were not on speaking terms, even though she hated me
MelissaI had a decision to make.Now that things between Freya and I were okay, I began to think about my conversation with Zachary the day before. I could still see his angry face when he had made that statement even without closing my eyes, I could still feel his hard kiss on my lips and could also recollect all the words he had said to me but only one question kept burning my mind. Who among my two mates was I going to choose?I hated been put in this situation, a situation where I was supposed to make a choice between two men I was hopelessly falling in love with. Both men were so important to me that the thought of losing either of them or the thought of either of them ever having a relationship with any other person, crushed my soul. I didn’t think I would be able to handle it and whether Freya was right about me being selfish or not, there was no way I was going to let both men go.The ruffling of flowers and silent footsteps in the garden had me turning immediately, only to s
MelissaThe next day at school, I walked past Zachary at the gate, offering him a smile of acknowledgement, but he completely ignored me like he hadn’t seen me. I scoffed in surprise but said nothing to him since it was unwise to engage in a fight with my professor in front of the whole school. I waved Alan goodbye on my way in and didn’t wait to see if he and Zachary would engage in their usual staring contest especially now that Zachary knew Alan was also my mate.Inside the class, Freya took her seat, and I watched her take out the plate of brownies she had woken me up so early to prepare. She sniffed it with joy before leaving the class with a big smile pasted on her face.“Where is she going to?” Chloe asked me after bumping into her on her way in, but I rolled my eyes in response, not pleased with the fact that Freya was heading to the gym. I had wanted to go to the gym to wait for Zachary to finish his duty but since Freya had beaten me to it, I had no other option but to remai
MelissaZachary managed to ruin my mood throughout the day in school up to the point that when it was time to leave, even Chloe noticed how sour I was. She asked me about it numerous times on our way out of the school building, but I continued to ignore her, telling her I was fine and that nothing was wrong.Professor Zach was at the gate when we got to it and Freya waved him goodbye at once. To my surprise, he waved back at her for the first time ever, his gaze shifting to meet mine briefly before looking away again. I shook my head at him, and without saying a single word, walked to Alan’s waiting car in the driveway.“Well, if it isn’t my favorite people,” Alan said out loud to us, completely ignoring Chloe who waved him goodbye. He saw the look on my face while I opened the door of the car and raised his eyebrows in surprise.“Hello, Alan.” Freya responded to his cheerful greeting before slipping into the back seat of the car. On our way home, Freya and Alan chatted with eachother
