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
MelissaAfter training class the next day in school, Zachary asked for me to stay back while others were leaving the hall. I turned to look at Freya first to see if she would be suspicious, but she only kept her face straight and walked out of the gym. Chloe, on the other hand, waited for everyone to be gone before winking at me with a big smile on her face.“Take it easy, will you?” she teased. “You don’t want anyone to see you both.”“I am not stupid enough to do anything with him while it’s still school hours, Chloe.” I replied, using all the restraint in the world not to snap at her. Also, what you saw yesterday doesn’t always happen. That was a first.”“Okay.” She said, rolling her eyes at me. “Why don’t you go and see him before he loses his mind?” She teased. A sigh escaped my lips, but instead of responding like I would have loved to, I turned and walked to Zachary’s table. The clicking sound from the door showed that Chloe was already out but I didn’t turn again to confirm it
AlanI tried to pretend that I hadn’t heard what she had said by moving my ears closer and making a confused face, but I did hear what she said, and it sounded ridiculous enough for me to want her to repeat it.“What did you say?” I asked, still wearing the look of confusion on my face, and an exasperated sigh escaped her lips. I couldn’t believe she was the one sighing after making such a ridiculous statement, but I was still able to remain calm and patient.“I want you to take Chloe out on a date.” She repeated.“And why would I do that? Does it make sense for you to just come into my room and demand me to do such a thing?” I had to ask, folding my arms on my chest in anger.“Okay, look Alan,” she called shutting the door quietly behind her to come towards me, but I took two steps back to show her we were not in the close contact situation yet. “Chloe found out about Zachary and I today, and the only way to keep her mouth shut for now, is if you go out on a date with her.”My eyes n
MelissaAlan came back thirty minutes after Freya and I did with a smug look on his face. He walked into the garden to meet me but instead of coming closer so that we could talk without being heard, he stopped at a distance and placed both hands into the pockets of the ridiculously good-looking pants he had on. I had to admit that seeing him dressed in such spectacular outfit and sitting with Chloe at the café made me feel jealous. The café was intimate, and he was only supposed to go to such places with me. I had tried my best not to follow them, not to show him that their date annoyed me, but all my efforts was thrown through the window when Freya came up with the idea of spying on both of them. And he had made the whole thing worse by kissing Chloe.Alan had looked me in the eye, knew that I was watching them and still gone ahead to kiss her. Seeing his lips on hers for those few seconds had made my wolf to almost snap in the restaurant, but because I didn’t want Freya to be suspi
