MELISSA’S POV.To my surprise, it was Stefan. I screamed in joy as I saw him. My joy knew no bounds, and I looked at Theo, too, in happiness. “Is that him?” Theo asked, and I nodded to confirm.Stefan charged at Michaelson, pinning his neck to the wall, but giving him space to speak.“I am sorry. I apologize, please set me free.” He pleaded.“Did no one tell you the kind of person I am, before you decided that you would take up this journey?” Stefan snarled, with a cold expression.“I was warned by my mother, but I felt that if anyone else could have the courage to come over to challenge you, then I can.”“And now, that courage has landed you in trouble. You shall face your death.”“Please, please do not kill me.” Michaelson pleaded.Then I noticed that Theo looked so shocked, and he was also in fear. Anyways, who wasn’t going to be scared, when faced with a werewolf? I was also scared, when I saw Stefan, change. But now, I wasn’t fazed by his appearance, anymore.“Do you know who o
STEFAN’S POV.“I don’t understand what you mean by that.” I said, trying to cover up my shock, and feign ignorance.Then Melissa moved closer to me, and sat on the side of the bed, like I did, and she placed her right hand on mine.“You know, I have seen how true you are, with the love you have for me, and you have proved it, a million times. So, I want to always give you the benefit of the doubt, and whenever you are having trouble, or there is a problem, I want us to always solve it together, without hiding a thing from each other.” She said, with a slight smile, but I was speechless.“Together, we can kick down a mountain, without breaking a sweat.” She added.“What do you want me to say?” I asked her.“I know that Alicia has been blackmailing you, but what I do not know is what she has against you. It can’t be the fact that you are a werewolf, or she would have run very far from you.”Then I sighed. “And you are certain that you won’t flare up if I tell you what happened, exactly
MELISSA’S POV.I stared into the dark, although I could still see, but I followed the heart beat of the person. If the person was scared, then I should have no fear. I made sure that I shouldn’t allow myself make movements that would make the person know I was nearby, but one thing I was certain I was getting closer to the person.Suddenly, a familiar scent, hit me. This was Layla’s scent, and I hoped it was her, so I wouldn’t mess up by speaking so soon. But there was only one way to know, which was calling out to her.“Layla?” I called out to her, softly.“Melissa? Is that you?” She asked.“Yes, yes, it’s me.” I said, excitedly.Then I heard a run off somewhere else to the sitting room, and then the lights turned on.“Its really you!” Layla said, happily.And we both hugged.“I have missed you so much. I hope you are okay? You didn’t sustain any injury, right?” I asked, worriedly.“No. Why would I sustain an injury?” Layla scoffed.“You know Michaelson snapped you out, that’s why I
STEFAN’S POV.I couldn’t let Melissa die. I knew there were different circumstances that we both went through, and anyone who heard of our story, would never think that we would come out alive. I was going to keep having that belief that we would always come out alive, and unscathed, out of every trouble.“Melissa! Please don’t do this to me!” Her instincts kicked in and she jumped up, ready to tear me apart. I had a feeling like she really wanted to eliminate me. I felt the same way, the last time, too. It was strange, because that wasn’t the way she felt about me, truly, and although, her wolf would want to kill me naturally, but this one seemed like there was more to it. But that wasn’t the issue now, she had gone wild, and was inflicting more poison in her body, with the way she moved around.I managed at every strike she tried to hit at me, to escape. I couldn’t let both of us to be poisoned. I fought with her, and at the same time, managed to keep myself from touching any of t
MELISSA'S POV."I'm right here." I spoke out, softly.I was glad that Stefan had found out a way out for me, as always. Stefan hugged me deeply, and a tear ran down my right eye. It was so good to be back.~We still continued our vacation. Yeah, I had to enjoy the time I missed, and after the vacation, we headed back to our home."So, tell me all about the vacation." Layla asked, excitedly."Well, it was a really romantic one. And we had our time to ourselves. By that, I mean he rented the whole beach." I giggled.Layla's eyes widened in excitement."Wow. So, Mr. Stefan is this romantic?" "More than you think." I laughed."I am so happy for you, Melissa. Finally, you found someone who can be there for you, and make you happy, more than you would never expect. I'm glad you opened your heart to him." Layla said, with a smile.She seemed to be touched, and really glad for me as her eyes were sparkling with love and happiness for me. That's why she is the best, anyways."Thank you so m
MELISSA’S POV.“Wow, I can’t believe that you would still accept to know your truth.” Robin said, with a smile.“Well, I guess things change. Change is inevitable.” I said.“Alright, have your seat while I prepare a few things.” “Alright then.”As I was about to sit, my hand grazed his cloth, and something stung me, which caused a tiny blood to come out.“Ouch!”“Oh, goodness. I apologize. I think there is something spiky around this outfit, but I haven’t found it out until now.” He said.“That’s the reason you should get your outfits from Stefan Design Stores.”“Hmmm… I’ll think about it.” Robin smiled.I waited for him to get ready, and was thinking about how it was going to be, hearing the truth, and all. It all seemed like it could be a truth which could make me really unhappy, since Stefan was hiding it from me.“Alright, let’s leave.”I never knew he had a car until now when he drove it out of his garage, and while I was in his car, I texted Stefan, and after that, I was ready
MELISSA’S POV.I gulped my saliva, and hoped for the best.“Chill out, Melissa.” Robin said.“You really are calm, aren’t you?” “It’s always great when you tell yourself that you are brave, and meditate on it.” Robin said.“So, I have to keep meditating, within minutes.”“Wow. You know what I discovered? Since we started this journey, you have been a bit informal with me. I mean, you are now a bit free around me. Did you break up with your boyfriend?”I sighed. Robin was crossing the line, which was getting on my nerves.“Do you prefer the formality?” I asked, glaring at him.“I’m sorry if I crossed the line.” He apologized.Then we got to a building which we went in, and then we kept walking down to the basement, and even after the basement, we went down again. It was truly an underground, but a scary one.“You have to hurry to get into the freedom tube, before the ghouls start working their tricks around you.”“I thought you said we were safe around you.” I asked.“Yes, you are. B
STEFAN’S POV.~flashback~I got a text from Melissa the next day when I wanted to apologize to her at work. I guess she must have forgiven me to have sent me a text. But the text she sent me, made me gape in surprise.“I have gone to find my truth, with Robin. The man you saw me with, the other night, which caused a misunderstanding between us.”I became worried. What truth was she trying to find, and would the man really show her, nothing but the truth, without adding what didn’t happen? Melissa was punishing me, seeing as she didn’t send me a text, with enough information. But maybe it was time for her to know the real truth. I just needed her to be safe, and I was going to confirm.I dialed her number, but it was switched off.“Shit!” I slammed my hand on my face.~back to reality~This was more like the second time she was out of my sight, and I knew that whatever journey she was going on, it was going to take a few days. Would she even inform me when she was back? She really see
