MELISSA’S POV.“How do you know my name?” He asked, looking shocked.“Dawn told me.” I said, watching his reaction.“Dawn? Where is she?” He asked, with his eyes almost bulging out of his sockets.“Uhm… About that, do you really need to know? Is she very important to you?” I asked, trying to avoid telling him what had really happened. “Yeah, of course. I need to know. She mentioned my name to you. Where is she?”I sighed and regretted that I had talked about Dawn, immediately he was brought in.~flashback~“Tell him that I would love to meet him again, and in my next life. And he should be strong enough to wield swords that would fight against the pain of life, and that I believe that he would make it out of here. I am Dawn.”~back to reality~“You know, I think you had a great friend, and if you doubted that she cared about you, don’t anymore. Sometimes, words are bottled up for a reason, and you can’t blame that.”“What are you trying to say?” He asked as his voice broke down.“Da
MELISSA’S POV.>>>>>>>>>>>>>I woke up instantly. It was all a dream, and thankfully, the dream ended on a happy note. The only thing was that I still felt the fe
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.Bonus Chapter.I got out of the swirling portal and wiped my hair to the back as it had scattered due to the wind. Oh, my. It has been a long while since I got here. It feels like second home.I walked out of the woods and then when I got to the road side, I brought out the currency I had kept since I left here and then hailed a cab.“Taxi!” I hailed the cab and got into it. I sat back and exhaled, ready to enjoy the ride.“Where to, ma’am?” He asked, politely.“Stefan’s Design, please.”I wanted to see how Edward was doing after all these months. I was certain he was doing well as he was a good leader and was capable of leading the people well. As soon as I got to the company, I ensured I put on the cap I brought along with me, so I won’t be recognized by anyone here. What explanation would I give them all if they caught sight of me? So, it was best for me to go unnoticed.I walked up to the vending machine and smiled as I recalled beautiful memories here, especial
STEFAN'S POV.It was a bright new day and this day felt different. Of course, it was the day to determine if we were going to win this war or not. But I had faith that our fate had something better in store for us all."It's time, right?" Melissa asked."Yes." Then I turned to the three warriors, Diego and Natasha. "We might face fear, hurdles and problems that seem bigger than us all, but we'll never back out until we win. Are we ready to fight this war!" I voiced out in confidence."Yes, Alpha!" They all chorused and then we headed out of the witches' kingdom back to the woods.While walking in the woods, Diego spoke up."The witches were really selfish this time, apart from giving Luna Jana back to us. If they couldn't fight the war, they could have at least, given us something which could be helpful to us." Diego pouted."It's fine, Diego. I believe we will win this war." "With or without them." Natasha added, with confidence."That's the spirit! It's time to show Valon the grea
MELISSA'S POV.I was in the room which they had kept me in, with my wounds magically healed. I was thankful that the witches had saved me, but I feared that they would be just another enemy whom I had gotten into their hands.Suddenly, the door creaked open and I noticed one of the witches at the door."You need to come out. Our Queen has asked for your presence." She informed me, without a smile."Do you think she wants to strike me dead or so something really nasty to me?" I asked, out of anxiousness."Please come out before things get nasty." She replied.Why were they so uptight here? I guess that's why they still stood strong, because they didn't allow any slight weakness to destroy them. They were queens over their weaknesses.I slowly followed her out to her meeting hall and to my surprise, I noticed Stefan, standing right before her."Melissa." He called out to me, looking touched."Stefan." I called out to him, softly as I covered my mouth with my hand.I couldn't believe it
STEFAN’S POV.It was a new day, and finally, we had gotten to the witches’ kingdom. I was glad that at least up to seven men made it with me and I hoped that what we came here for was going to be successful and not abortive.The witches were hard to please and to plead to them was a really difficult thing to do with a low chance of being helped. I was lucky that I was helped many years ago without too much effort and I hoped it would be the same, this time, because we didn’t have much time to waste anymore.We got to the large gate and we were stopped by two of their female guards. As fragile as they looked, they were really powerful. One could sense power going through their veins and you wouldn’t want to upset them.“Please allow us in. We have an important matter to talk about to your Queen.” I pleaded.“Our Queen do not want us to allow people in, so you have to go back.” One of them said, with a straight face.“Please you have to allow us in. We came all the way here and tried o
STEFAN'S POV.“Holy shit!”I knew that there were different supernatural but I never knew that there was one like this. She charged towards us and in one strike, she killed three men and then slashed Diego’s skin.“Aaargh!” Diego groaned in pain as he dropped down to the floor.“Her slashes are painful. The only way to kill her is to aim our claws at her heart.” Natasha informed me.“Alright, I guess we have to watch her moves closely as she is really fast.”“Exactly!”I nodded and Natasha and I charged towards her and we were able to avoid her claws. We successfully darted our claws at her heart and she became weak and fell to the ground and was dying slowly.“I think we should stop digging into her heart. Probably we can give her a chance or sort. She might agree to join us in our journey.”“No, Stefan. Do not be in a hurry to gain more people to fight with you. Her kind are deceptive in nature and the second chance you give her, she will ensure she kills you and trust me, that sec
MELISSA’S POV.What am I going to do? I began to think hard and it felt as if my heart which was beating fast was too loud for me to hear my thoughts and I almost screamed at this. Then a thought came to me and Immediately, I put in action.Any wrong move or wrong act could take away the bit of trust he had given me today. I quickly sat on his bed and crossed my legs, then I tried to calm myself so I do not look suspicious.“Phew! You can do this.” I sighed and encouraged myself.Then the door creaked open and my chest heaved up, refusing to go down. Valon walked into the room and his expression showed how surprised he was to see me.“What are you doing here, Jana? What do you want or should I say to what pleasure do I owe your presence?” He inquired while he stood, gazing at me.“I came to ask for a favor.”“What favor is that?” He asked, with his furrowed brows, becoming more obvious.“I want a personal guard. In fact, I need a personal guard. Ever since you gave me one just to tes
MELISSA’S POV.I didn’t know if this could be a trap or not and I wouldn’t want to fall into something like this, so I had to carefully choose my words and know the right action to take while in this dungeon.“I guess a lot of things have gotten into your head. Help me check if there is anything like a letter in your cell.” Then he scoffed. “I know about the letter which you are looking for.” He blurted out as he held the bars of his cell.If truly he knew what I was looking for and could say something really informative, it was best to ask him but I needed to try my best not to sound desperate.“You know about the letter, really? Well, if you do, where is it?” I asked, hoping he was going to tell me without I having to go through any sort of stress.“Not so fast, Luna.”“What do you want?” I let out my frustration.“I will tell you all you need to know if you are able to persuade Valon to set me free from the dungeon.”“But you do not deserve to be there. You and I both know that.
STEFAN’S POV.Night had fallen and Natasha, Diego and I, were brought out and the crowd gathered to watch the fight between Theodore and I. Some of them seem excited while some had expressions of dread on their faces.“Now Alpha, it is time for us to have a match. Are you ready or you are still warming up?” Theodore asked, looking down at me.I glanced at Natasha and Diego. Diego was looking angry while Natasha was calm. I also stared at the crowd and I could feel the atmosphere was tense around them as well, then I looked back at Theodore who was acting foolish.To me, he was just like a boy whom I needed to correct and knock some senses into his head.“I know very well that you are mocking me and if I were to look at our age, I am very much older than you. I am not interested in bragging about how I could knock you out in a second.” I said to him and he snickered.Then I turned to the crowd.“You all are wasting the strength and the time that is needed for more important things tha
MELISSA’S POV.I mustered up my courage and walked up to him.“So, you requested to see me. What do you want to see me for? I am all ears.” “I actually agreed at the last minute to do what you wanted me to do back then, but the guard decided not to allow me out of the drum.”I had also planned that I would use the guard’s hatred towards me to my advantage. After all, the wicked go down.“So, what you are saying is that he intentionally left you to die.” Valon tried to make sense of what I had just said to him.“That’s correct.” I affirmed, trying to maintain how fast my heart was beating.I wouldn’t want him to be suspicious of my moves.“Well, I do not believe you. If I have to believe you, then I will need evidence.” He replied as he clasped his fingers and rested his chin on them.“What evidence do you need? Because I am certain that you will get evidence. I know he hates me and wants to get rid of me.”“The only way I can get my evidence of what you claimed is if I make him your
