ZacharyI sat in the living room with Alexa, my eyes pasted on the telenovela she was watching on the television even though I could barely see anything. My thoughts kept drifting towards Melissa, wondering what she was doing at the moment and if she was thinking hard about what I told her. I still couldn’t believe I had asked her to choose who she wanted to continue the relationship with, and the more I tried to tell myself that I would be okay if she chose Alan, the more scared I became.Of course, I wouldn’t be okay if she chose Alan. I would be miserable and angry and might even quit my job in order not to see her again. But it was still important for her to choose one between both of us, because I didn’t think I would be able to live with the knowledge that Alan was kissing the same lips that I was kissing, or touching the same body that I was touching. So, whether I would be left heartbroken after everything or not, it was still important for Melissa to make a choice.The loud
MelissaTwo hours after Alan left the house, I stood by the window with my clothes on, waiting for him or our parents to return. I didn’t know where he had gone and it annoyed me that he was still out, instead of being with me and discussing what we were to do about what happened between us. The way he had reacted to the news I shared with him, gave me a new insight on how different he was to Zachary. Yes, Zachary had been really angry that my other mate was Alan, but he hadn’t had the death look I had seen in Alan’s eyes. Alan had looked like he was going to kill anything that dared to talk to him when he left the room, and I couldn’t help but get worried.With a slight shake of my head, I began to pace my room, my eyes always making sure to scan the window whenever I got there. The anger Alan had left with was making me forget how beautiful our first time had been and I hated it. I wanted to remember the taste of his lips, how they had moved against mine, and also how his hands had
AlanI had to destroy him.There was no other way to deal with Zachary being Melissa’s mate than to destroy him, because after what I saw yesterday, I already knew I did not stand a chance against him in combat.He was a lycan. I kept reminding myself even while driving to the warrior recruitment event alpha Alexander had ordered me to attend. Memories from my days at school came flooding my mind and I began to understand why Zachary had lived a very mysterious life back then. He had no friends, no family and always seemed to disappear during the night of the full moon. No one had ever seen him shift into his wolf, or even seen him threaten anyone with his wolf abilities, which made everyone in school give him his space. He used to be a lone wolf who didn’t know how to live pack life and thinking about it now, I finally understood why he had lived that way.It was because he was a lycan alpha wolf and needed to hide his identity.“So, I have to destroy him.” I whispered even though I
MelissaI couldn’t tell whether Alan was trying to spite me, or if he was just angry but for the next two days, he had said not more than three words to me. It was infuriating enough that Zachary was avoiding me like a plague in school especially after finding out something had happened between Alan and I, and now, I had to also deal with the silent treatment Alan was now showing to me. Standing at the entrance of the house with my back against the already opened door, I watched Alan flirt with a girl I didn’t think I had ever seen before, someone I imagined he knew from his home pack. He had told my father that he suspected the girl to be his mate, so my father had said nothing when he invited her to the house. Freya, who seemed to also know the girl welcomed her specially and so did the luna, but only I knew Alan was only flirting with her because he was angry with me. I was his only mate, and he was trying to get me jealous.I shook my head in anger, frustrated that I was standing
MelissaI walked into the house of beta Alphonso like I owned the place, and the two servants at the door bowed their heads in respect. I turned to look at the one nearest to me with inquisitive eyes and she pointed towards the stairway to Chloe’s room, alerting me that she was there. Without thanking her, I took the stairs two at a time, ignoring another servant who was walking down the hallway and pushed open Chloe’s door.“Oh goddess!!” I exclaimed, turning away immediately when I saw she and her mate in a compromising situation, similar to the one I caught my father and the luna in. “Bad day for me, I guess.” I said to myself as I waited outside Chloe’s door, grateful that the tears from my eyes were all dried up.“You should knock, Melissa.” Chloe called to me from inside the room and from the sound of her voice, I could immediately tell she was helping her mate put himself together. Justin came out of the room few seconds later with a ruffled hair and his shoes in his hands, and
MelissaAfter successfully calling me a child, Alan went back to avoiding me like I didn’t exist, which now meant I was being ignored by my two mates. At school the next day, I sat quietly in the cafeteria after closing hours, still thinking about Zachary and Alan. Things were now worse with Zachary ever since he found out I had sex with Alan, and I had no idea what to do. I looked around the empty space, taking note of the scattered chairs and tables and also the stall which was already locked since everyone had gone home.Why aren’t we leaving, Melissa? I asked myself because I had no idea why I was still seated in school when everyone had long been gone. A deep sigh escaped my lips, and I placed my head on the table to calm my nerves. The situation with my father suddenly came crashing down on me again, forcing me to remember that we were also not in talking terms. Another reason why I was seated alone in school instead of going home“What a way to live your life, Melissa.” I murmu
Melissa.My heart skipped a beat seeing Chloe standing there with her hand folded on her chest and a dangerous look on her face. I couldn’t tell whether she was smiling or not, but I knew I wasn’t pleased with the fact that she was there.Chloe took careful steps towards me, giving me the opportunity to see the real look on her face but when she opened her mouth to speak, I took hold of her hand and pulled her out of the school with me. We walked in silence even when we got outside and when I was sure we were now at a distance where Zachary wouldn’t see us, turned to look at her.“What were you doing there?” I demanded, staring at her with angry eyes. She scoffed silently at me, before looking down at my body to remind me I was still in my uniform.“I am supposed to be asking you that, Melissa,” She answered. “What were you still doing in school and in your uniform for that matter?”“I was…” I stammered, trying to think of what to say but the look in her eyes told me there was no need
MelissaAlthough it was a difficult thing to do, I accepted to talk to Alan about Chloe. It was still hard to believe that she was only willing to keep my secret if I did what she wanted, but with my current predicament, I had no other choice but to play along. Even though she was my best friend who I never thought would do such thing.I walked home alone when Chloe and I separated with lots of thoughts in my mind. First thing that bothered me was how Chloe reacted to the professor being my mate. She had been ready to swear that the moongoddess had nothing to do with the mating bond, but I had managed to convince her otherwise. Now with the way she reacted, I couldn’t tell how she was going to react if she ever found out about Alan, not only because he was my stepbrother, but because she also had a crush on him. Was my best friend going to turn on me because of a man when that time came? Or would she forget every feeling she had for him and stand by me?The second thought that continu
