MELISSA’S POV

I looked back at him and tried to compose myself as I didn’t want to come off as nervous. Not to a man as observant as he.

“Uhm… what do you mean by that?” I asked, trying to act like I didn’t understand what he meant.

“You didn’t tell me that you were going on a business trip with the boss. Although, I understand that his was more important than our spa plan, but I thought I was going to be told about this.” Edward said, with a poker expression.

“I apologize about that, but it ought to be confidential. It’s business and I was trusted with that.” I backed myself up, hoping that card would work on him.

“Hmm. I understand. I’m sorry I didn’t think of it that way.”

“It’s fine.”

“So, I’m certain there is a lot you have to say. How was your stay, there?” He asked, with keen interest and a smile on his face.

I told him all about the nice things that happened, but I skipped the part where it would seem like Stefan was being too favorable, or start coming off as suspicious. Whe

    MELISSA’S POV.I had a nice day with Edward and to be honest, I never thought that he was capable of making me laugh to that extent. At least, my time with him made me forget the way I lashed out on Stefan. Although, I felt bad afterwards, but it was better that way, so he would finally know his place and wouldn’t keep misunderstanding me.Also, I didn’t want that special treatment from him anymore. It would only make petty people like Alicia to keep ruining my day. I applied for a job at Stefan’s Design Company, only because I wanted to upgrade my life and also work peacefully, but because of Stefan, I got an enemy in less than a week.I rolled on my bed and put off the lamp light and closed my eyes, waiting for mother sleep to steal me away.~The next day, I got ready for work and hurriedly took a cab to work, because I was running late. Fortunately, I was able to get to work, a few minutes earlier than the time I would be late. I got to the office and greeted everyone, then sank

    MELISSA’S POVAlicia was just an expert in being a pain in the neck. She had made me angry and there was no use for the cola, anymore. I decided to throw it in the dumpster, but just before I could throw it, I saw Edward, walking towards this place.“Great.” I said, under my breath.I didn’t want him to notice that I was annoyed, because he was going to guess that I was, if I threw the cola away. “Hey, Melissa. How are you doing?” He asked as he ordered his drink.“I’m good.” I said as I opened the can and then gulped my drink.Unfortunately, I choked on it and coughed really hard.“Hey, are you okay?” Edward asked as he moved closer to me and collected my drink.I coughed again as it was itching my throat and then I exhaled.“I’m fine. Sorry I startled you.”“No, it’s fine.” He said, looking at me, with concern.“So, who got you angry?” “No one. I didn’t say I was.” I said, trying to take the suspicion off me.“Well, I know you are annoyed. And I will like to advise you not to thin

    STEFAN’S POV.I was in my car, staring outside, although, the window was shut tight.“Sir, I have successfully cancelled your appointments, today.” My secretary said.“Alright. Turn on the music, but I need it on a low volume.” I instructed as I didn’t take my gaze off the window.~Flashback~I was annoyed with the way Melissa treated me, and if she didn’t want me to treat her like she is special to me, anymore, then so be it. I was going to show her how empty she was going to feel, when I stop indulging myself in her life. Then I thought of a way to start doing that. An obvious way to make her heart pinch at her, to let her know that she has done wrong for lashing out at me.Also, I needed to take a break from the hurt my heart went through and I needed a vacation, to settle things and set my head straight.Then an idea sprang up. I stood up and went straight to Team A’s office. When I got there, I stole a glance at Melissa who was working. I didn’t know that I would feel less deter

    MELISSA’S POV.It was evening already and I could hear the crickets and all other tiny creatures whose sound were loud enough to hear. “So, Melissa, what was with the cold formality you gave Mr. Stefan? Did something happen between you two?” Layla asked, out of curiosity.I sighed. “There is absolutely nothing wrong. I am doing just the right thing.”“Yeah, you are. Except for the fact that you are being cold.” Layla rolled her eyes.“Don’t try to make me feel like I am the bad man, here.” I said, sharply.“Well, you are. He has been a nice boss to you. Saved you from possible death and helped you many times. You even modelled for a great company. All these were possible, because of him.”“And I never begged him to do that, Layla. I want to earn my recognition and my money, because of my hard work and talent. Not because there is someone influencing that to come my way. I want to stop owing him favors, okay!”“Look. In this life, we all need connections. I mean, big people who will

    MELISSA’S POV.I stood up as my hair was moving in the rhythm of the merciless wind.“What’s going on?” I muttered under my breath as I tried to shield my face, from being a victim of any sharp object.Suddenly, everything went calm, but it was still dark and cold. I could feel that there was something different about the atmosphere. It felt as if I wasn’t alone, right where I was.Was one of my nightmares coming to a reality? I wouldn’t be able to bear that. Why did I come over here? Suddenly, I could see animal-like figures coming out of the mist that was disappearing as each moment passed by. And to my horror, they were wolves. I wanted to run, but I was surrounded by them all and they were certainly up to twelve, with different eye colors.Then they began to howl loudly and it got me frightened. Were they calling the other wolves? Was I more than enough for the twelve of them? I was beyond terrified. I had never seen anything like it before. The sight of twelve huge wolves surro

    MELISSA’S POV.I struggled as I was tied to a pole in an unknown forest. My two hands were hurting as they were tied apart. What exactly did I do to deserve this?“Look, I have told you. I am not Jana!” I shouted in tears.Being mistaken for Jana had brought many weird things into my life and one of them was Stefan. He seemed to me like a pervert the first time he tried to come close to me and seeing that he was nice to me and all, could it still be that he thought I was Jana or because I just looked like her.“You don’t tell me who or what you are.” Their Alpha said as he walked around me.Then he moved closer to me and sniffed my neck and my ears, then he raised his hand, with his claws, out and he was about to strike me.“No, please don’t.” I pleaded in tears.Just before he could strike, a commotion broke out. Then I looked around at what was happening. It was Stefan, killing them all. Then he dragged the Alpha.“Who sent you!” Stefan growled out loud.The Alpha laughed. “Isn’t i

    STEFAN’S POV.The next day, I woke up feeling heavy at heart and I couldn’t bring myself to face Melissa at work, because there was a chance that we were going to bump into each other at work. I went to the bathroom to have my bath to get ready for today.The way the water drizzled on my body, released my tensed bones, although, not completely. As I was done bathing, I sat on my bed, not wanting to go to work.“Gosh. I need a break from all these.” I muttered under my breath, then an idea popped up.It was time I went for the business trip I had been pushing away for years. Kim Mike was going to be glad that I would finally meet up with him for business. Then I put a call through to my secretary.“Schedule a meeting with Kim Mike. I am going to meet him, tomorrow. And for now, let’s get ready to travel to his country.”“Al…alright boss.”He must have been shocked that I had finally agreed. Although, I would have sent an invitation over to Kim Mike, but I wanted to take my ass out as

    STEFAN’S POV.I immediately took my robe and put it on and gave her an expression that showed I was annoyed.“How would you barge into my room, without knocking?” I said, trying to tone down on my frustration.Then the fear on her face, came back on and she rushed closer to me.“I’m…I’m sorry, but someone is after my life. He picked me to be his slut for tonight, for an amount, but I couldn’t do it with him anymore when I saw how huge his d**k was and now he wants to force me and he threatened that when he gets me, he was going to make me regret for running at first, before he forces me to have sex with him.” She said, with tears running down her cheeks.She was an American whore, for money. I would have sent her out, because I was not the right person to settle matters like this, but before I could, the man barged in, looking fierce. He was huge and muscular and he was Korean.“Jigeum yeogilo wa! (Come here, right now!)” The man shouted at her, in annoyance.Thank goodness I underst

    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

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

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

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.

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

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
