JANA’S POV
I was still feeling shocked over what had happened. It was certain that it was the council of elders who called him over.
“How does it feel to be feared even by the council of elders?” My wolf asked, and chuckled.
“Get the hell out of me and stop disturbing me.” I shouted with hot tears rolling down my cheeks.
“Never!” My wolf declared, with a raspy voice.

STEFAN’S POV
Despite the fact that I was worried if this was how things were going to continue, I still had that feeling that I needed to keep trying my best over her. I walked back home and to my quarters.
“Are you hungry? Would you like me to get something for you?” I asked, looking concerned.
“N…no. I don’t feel hungry at the moment.” She replied, with a slight smile.
“Alright. Let’s talk. Sit.”
She sat down, with her eyes showing she was inquisitive at the moment.
“Is there a particular time that this dangerous wolf comes out of you? So, we would know the time you’ll be out and the time you won’t.” I asked, inquisitively.
“That’s the thing. I do not know the time it comes out. But I feel it when it’s awakening.” She said, and heaved a heavy sigh.
“That means you knew when the wolf was awakening in you when we were at the restaurant?” I asked, in shock.
“Yes, but it is tricky. It intentionally does not attack all the time that it awakens, so that it won’t be predictable.” She explained as she stroked her hair backwards.
I sighed and was lost. I didn’t have any idea or plan anymore as this wolf issue was not one that I could handle.

A few days later, I was coming back from a meeting with the council of elders, regarding the kingdom and how it could progress. Then I saw people running out of the palace in fear and in tears. Immediately, I mind linked my beta to know what was going on at the moment as people who were running away were too frightened to notice me.
“What is going on in the palace?” I asked out of curiosity.
“Alpha, it’s Miss Jana. She has gone wild and out of control.” He replied hastily.
“Where are you?”
~
Jana had turned into a big dangerous animal that walked majestically as if that was her territory. We were at the palace open ground and she looked intimidating. Her claws were big and sharp enough to dig into the whole system of a human out, her eyes were dark and that was what made her look frightening.
“How long has she been like this?” I asked, trying to get all the information I could retrieve at this moment.
“She has been like this for over thirty minutes.” He replied, with sweat beads over his forehead.
“And you didn’t inform me?” I asked in anger.
“Alpha, forgive me. You were in a meeting and you have said that I shouldn’t interrupt whenever you are having a meeting that concerns the kingdom.” He said, with his eyes lowered.
I recalled I had said that because I always wanted the best for the kingdom, so any meeting the council of elders and I were having regarding it, I always avoid any interruption. But the problem that came up affected the kingdom as the meeting was not interrupted.
There were a few people who were badly wounded and I knew I had to do something about it.
“Evacuate everyone from here this instant. I know that only warriors are left, so I know what I am saying. All warriors should be out of the palace, including you.” I instructed, with a straight face.
“But Alpha…”
“Do not go against my orders.” I said as my fiery red eyes obviously shone brightly.
Although, the warriors were meant to accompany me in any turbulent situation, but this situation was different. It could cost their life and I was the only one that knew how I wanted to handle her. I didn’t plan to kill her, but out of fear, the warriors can do so.
My beta bowed and left as he called out to the warriors to follow him. Now, I was left with Jana. I moved closer to her to try to approach her in a friendly manner, so she wouldn’t feel threatened.
“Jana, it’s me, Stefan. You have to calm down, you are safe and fine.” I assured her as I walked towards her slowly.
“Leave or I slit your throat!” She shouted in a frightening raspy voice.
“I can’t leave. Jana! You can control this wolf. You have to fight it!” I shouted, hoping that she would hear me.
The wolf growled and ran towards me. It shifted back into human form and I had hope that Jana was still in there. She pinned my neck to the wall, with her fangs out.
“I gave you a chance, but you didn’t take it. Now, you wont even live to regret it.” The voice within her growled out loud.
I had to release myself from her grip or she would snap my neck into two, without hesitation. I tried with all my strength to release myself from her grip, which I successfully did.
Then she attacked me, she was really fast and was able to strike me with her claws. I groaned and I knew I had to fight her, hoping that she would come back to her senses.
"Jana, I know you are in there.” I shouted as I was trying to dodge her strikes.
Then she ran towards me and my claws came out and I dug into her system and bit her hard. She groaned and went down to her knees, with blood coming out of her mouth.
“Stefan.” She said softly as I placed her head in my arms.
“Hang on there, Jana.”
I quickly mind linked my beta to call a healer immediately.
“I am sorry for causing chaos in your life.” She said as tears rolled down to her ear and she stopped talking.
“Jana! Jana! Stay with me.” I shouted as I shook her, but she wasn’t talking or moving anymore.
The healer rushed in and managed to feel her pulse, even if I could notice that he was frightened. Then he shook his head negatively.
“She is gone, Alpha.”
STEFAN’S POVI couldn’t believe my ears. Jana is gone? I killed her with my own hands. I fell to my knees with an indescribable pain in my hear.“No!” I shouted as my fangs came out and I growled out loud in pain of my lost loved one. A few days later, I was still devastated as expected. I didn’t go out, neither did I eat. The reality of losing Jana was causing me a lot of pain that no pain reliever could relieve me of. I heard a knock on my door and knew it was my beta. He had been coming consecutively to check up on me and that was getting on my nerves.“What do you have to say this time?” I asked, without looking at him.“Alpha, you have not eaten for the past three days and it would affect you if you continue this way. Please eat something. I know that if there was a way you can bring her back, you would have done so.” He said, looking concerned.As he finished his sentence, my brain jolted and I remembered the witches whom we do not relate with. They would be able to bring back m
STEFAN’S POVI was exiled and the only place I could go to was the human world to stay hidden from the supernatural world. I, King Stefan, who was once revered was now exiled from my kingdoms. I entered the portal, with determination to start a new life.~A few years later…“Boss, your schedule for today is a bit hectic. You have a meeting with Mr. Greenfield, Mrs. Walter and you have a golf date with Miss Jenny.” My secretary informed me as he held the document.“Cancel them all.” I instructed, without looking up at him.“S…sir? There is still more.” He said as he bent his head to me.“I said, cancel them all!” I slammed my fist on the table which made a few breakable things on my table to roll of the table and break.“o…okay sir.” He stuttered and left my office.Since I lost Jana, I had become a cold-hearted freak and was used to being alone. I detested having meetings with any of them as we were bound from interacting with humans to the extent of them finding out who we really ar
STEFAN’S POV.“Excuse me sir, did you just say I should hire her? They have not compared her to anyone yet.” My secretary said, bulging his eyes out.“Inform those who are applying for the same position as hers, that we have found someone for the job.” I instructed him as I kept looking at Jana.“Alright sir.” My secretary said as he made to leave.“Wait. What position is she applying for?” I asked, out of curiosity.“A fashion designer and we have only one slot left.” He replied, respectfully.“Alright. You can leave.”I took a last look at her and then went back to my office. I was overjoyed, fate had brought back Jane to me and there was hope for me to get her back. Then I picked up the landline, then called my secretary.“Inform her that she is to start work, tomorrow.” “Alright, sir.”Then I hung up and crossed my legs, then played music. This was the first best day I have ever had since I came to the human world.JANA’S POVI woke up feeling ready to try out Stefan’s Design Co
JANA’S POV“Hello everyone, I am Melissa and I am the new recruit.” I greeted everyone with a bright smile on my face.“You are welcome. I am Dana, the head of this team. We have Alicia, Edward, Corey and Britney who are a part of this team.” Dana introduced them to me and they all came to me to give me a handshake. “So, I am certain you know your work as a fashion designer and that is the same thing we do here, but we have to make sure that we stand out, so that we can beat the other team. And then we would be able to get recognition and be trusted more for trendy outfits, okay?” Dana explained, briefly as she put her hands on her waist.Looking at her, I could tell her that she had a good fashion sense, even if it was not one that made people think she is gifted or sort, but I admired her and the way she spoke. Being in one of the best companies and meeting cool colleagues, got me stoked.“Alicia and Edward are in charge of street wears, and with your portfolio, I can see that you
JANA’S POV.“Who is there?” I asked, with my eyes, looking around in fear.“Sorry, did I scare you?” It was the pervert CEO who had appeared in the restroom with me.“What are you doing here?” I asked as I held myself tight.“I’m not here to hurt you.” He said, looking like he was concerned.“You are in the female’s restroom!” I shouted as I reached the end of the restroom.Then he looked around like he knew nothing about where he was. “Oh, my goodness. I’m sorry.” He apologized, then left the restroom.My heart was still racing and I was clueless on what to do. Was he really a pervert? Why is it me he has his eyes on? I left the restroom and walked quickly to the office where I met the others, waiting for me.“Uhm… Sorry I took time.” I apologized, with my hands, shaking as I picked up my bag.“It’s fine.” Britney said, with a smile on her face and then, she hung her hand around my shoulders.Edward had a car, so we all hopped in and he drove us to the restaurant.~“Cheers!” Ever
STEFAN'S POV.I knew this was going to be a problem, if I let her go with this information. Then I picked her up and she was shivering, in fear.Then I held her tight.“You saw none of my werewolf powers. You only saw how I fought with him with good skills and then he got knocked out.” I said, using my vampire powers to hypnotize her. Then I knocked her out and then lodged her in a hotel room and went back to my house. I removed my tie and sat on the couch, staring into blank space and the first thought that came to my mind was Jana. I needed to be in her life and it just seemed that every way I tried to come closer, was wrong to her.~MELISSA’S POVThe next day, I went to work, ready to take on my project. As I got to work, I greeted everyone, with a smile, and before I could have my seat. That same man who addressed us before the CEO, walked in.“Miss Melissa?” He called my name, then walked out.I looked at my colleagues, then followed the secretary.‘Sorry if you may have found
MELISSA’S POV.“Melissa! Melissa!” I could hear my name, being called, but it wasn’t loud. My eyes began to open little by little. Had I fainted?Edward picked me up gently and I staggered a bit, but he was there to hold me tight. He held me tight and then I rubbed my eyes and opened it, only to find him looking at me, with worry.“Are you sure you are fine? Come, let’s get to the clinic.” He said, with worry, written all over his face.“I’m…I’m fine. I…I can walk on my own.” I said as I tried to walk on my own, but staggered back into his arms.“You see? I do not think you are fine. Let’s get you to the clinic.” Edward said, then drove me to the clinic.~“You are fine. You probably just need rest.” The nurse said, with a smile.I couldn’t explain what had happened to me, neither did I understand what happened. But why did I pass out over that? Something seemed fishy, but I guess I really needed rest just as the nurse said.While Edward was driving me back home, I looked at him. He
MELISSA'S POVI got to the restaurant and I saw Layla looking around like she expected that I ought to have been there, since a while ago."Melissa. You came in late, why is that?" She asked, staring at me suspiciously."That wasn't intentional, so stop giving me that expression. You won't believe what just happened.""What just happened?" She asked, inquisitively."Well, I bumped into this pride filled woman at the entrance and she said I scratched her bag, which was a limited edition and then she asked me to pay the money back." I explained as I sipped my drink, still not believing that the woman had placed a debt on me that easy."O.M.G. Those kind of people are really bad luck. What then happened?""Surprisingly, the CEO threatened her never to treat his employees, lowly anymore except she is done having a business with him." I added, with a smile on my face."Oh, my goodness. That's so cool. Mr. Stefan is really a cool man. If he can fight for his employees, how much more his wom
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
