***Alpha Xavier's POV***“I had a vision.” She stated, and I furrowed my gaze at this moment. “A vision? What is the vision about?”I noticed she looked quite nervous, for reasons I couldn't tell. “I think the Vampires are going to attack. They won't spare women and children. They'll try to have the pack destroyed, and I see you…”She trailed off at this point with her gaze down. “What did you see about me? I would like to hear it.”She took a deep breath and continued. “You were also attacked by the vampires, and you chose to rather die.”“What? How on earth did something so silly happen? What kind of ridiculous vision is that?” I thundered in my Alpha voice. “Alpha Xavier, let me butt in. I don't think her visions are meaningless. I mean, we all know that you've hunted the vampires all these years. You've punished them enough for what they did go Luna Ariana, but that's enough revenge, don't you think?”“What do you know about revenge!” I snapped at witch Alana. “Oh, please a
***Alpha Xavier's POV***I waited patiently for my beta to bring me needs about the vampires they had caught. These few days, getting a vampire to kill has become a piece of cake. I wonder why they are so stupid, though. Recently, there are some groups of Vampires who are hell-bent on taking revenge for those of their members who had died in my hands but too bad, they are not strong enough and have ended up getting killed by my men. I can't believe they have only realized how many men they have lost over the years. They should have continued acting ignorant. Now that they've decided to show up to seek justice, the more I want to wipe them out away from the earth. Just as I was waiting for my beta's arrival, I suddenly got a message from him through mind link. “Alpha Xavier, there are more vampires than expected. I need backup.”Immediately, I stood up from my bed and gathered more pack soldiers. Just as I was ordering the pack soldiers to go lend a helping hand to Drake and the o
***Melissa's POV***Since I was grounded in my room, I had nothing else to do than sit and wait. But sitting out here isn't going to help the situation at all. Something must be fine really fast, else I'm afraid that there might be an attack at any time. Why is Xavier so stubborn? Even if I wanted to say my visions were fake, I wouldn't be able to say that now. Having the same vision over and over again means something is definitely not right. In the split of some months, I went from being a girl who had no powers to a girl who automatically had her powers growing almost every day and having visions. As I paced from one end of the room to the next, I was having this weird feeling that something that has never happened before might end up happening soon, and I'm so worried to death. Witch Alana cannot help the situation at all. We were supposed to set up a barrier for the pack tonight before Xavier had me locked in. How do I go to Alana? If I had known that he was going to pick
***Alpha Xavier***While I was busy fighting the Vampires, I noticed that fighting them this way wouldn't give me a permanent solution because they were trooping in their numbers. If it continues like this, we might have to fight until morning comes where they'll naturally dispatch since most are afraid of sunlight. By the time morning comes, I'm uncertain if I'll have any more soldiers left to fight the Vampires. “Drake, so you think we can stall them? This fight just doesn't go on like this.”“I think the same way too, Alpha. We just find a permanent solution to these Vampires, else the soldiers will all lose their strength, and we might end up losing more. “Call for reinforcement immediately!” I ordered Drake. But just as Drake attempted to call for more soldiers, we all suddenly received a general mind link from my delta and gamma. “Report! Vampires have attached the pack. We need rescue, immediately!”I froze in my tracks when I heard this. No way! This can't be happening. T
**Melissa's POV***I slit as many Vampires I encountered trying to get into the cave where the women and children were. I haven't mastered my powers yet, but the little I learned from witch Alana I made use of. “Miss Melissa, besides you!” Prisca screamed. Immediately I looked at my side and this vampire grabbed me by the hand and the knife which I was holding fell off my hands. My heart sank, this was the only way I knew how to get rid of them. What am I going to do now? The women and children screamed when they noticed my plight. The vampires knew just when to attack. It was a full moon, and they must have calculated the fact that we are always weak at this time. Both the witches and Alphas are not exempted. But for some reason, I noticed it was not the same with me. I don't feel weak at all, and I don't understand why. I wanted to assure them that it was okay, but I know it wasn't. “What are you going to do now, the weapon you are so confident with is no longer in your hands.”
***Melissa's POV***I placed my hands on his chest and immediately, the fire that once emitted from my palms burned into his skin. He growled out aloud as he caught on fire.I used the medium to run away from him. I need to find Xavier as soon as possible. I quickly rushed over to the room of his Luna. I'm my vision, he went there. I need to save him before he decides to end it all by being with his mate. The moment I arrived there, I was shocked to see a great battle going on between the pack soldiers and the vampires. “Xavier!” I called out his name while looking around for him. I could smell him around, but the smell of blood was so strong that I had a hard time finding him. “Miss Melissa, why are you here? Leave now!” Beta Drake yelled while fighting with the vampires. I shook my head at him. “No, I'm not going anywhere. I just found him.”“You can't find him and even if you do, you'll be hurt by t
***Xavier's POV***It happened right in front of me again. But this time, it took a different style. My mate took the knife for me and was stabbed in the chest with a silver dagger. In a rage, I went berserk and shifted into my wolf form. I devoured the leader, dismembering him into a thousand pieces. All of his soldiers ran out of the room. I should have gone after them, but I cannot. I can't let her die because of me. I quickly turned around and rushed over to her side. “Melissa, what have you done!”She winced in pain while staring at me. “Why are you worried about me?”“What the fuck are you talking about? You're injured, and could die at any moment.”“Yea, that's what I thought, but I don't feel like death currently.”“What do you mean?” I looked down at her and I noticed, the silver knife which was stabbed into her chest slowly fell off her chest on its own. I blinked in shock, watching this action. Just then, her injury began to heal. “What's going on! How's this even po
***Melissa's POV***I can't believe that I was locked up again after saving his life. Just what is wrong with him. I'm sure he's planning to take his life. I know that for sure. Though I don't know if his beta will be able to stop him, but I had asked him to keep an eye on Xavier. I paced restlessly in my room. It was morning already, and I could smell the blood of those who died in last night's battle. All of this could have been avoided if only he listened to me. His stubbornness brought us thus far.He'll be damned if ever he tries to end his life after making his Pack to be a mess. I really hope he doesn't intend to end it like I saw in my vision. My goodness! I wish I could just escape from my room. But no matter the powers I possess, I can't possibly teleport from my room. I don't know if I have such powers yet. I waited until nightfall came, but my body couldn't stand it. I felt so weak, and my eyes drew close. I know that I needed to rest. I sustained a stab wound to the he
***Melissa's POV***Arnold staggered backwards as he was stabbed. The knife she used was purely made of dark magic. That very instant, I noticed Arnold going pale. “No!” I screamed out in anger at what happened right in front of me. Just then, I force pulled me up from the floor and I couldn't tell how I did it but the next thing I knew, I was standing right in front of the witch whose hands had become bloody with my mate's blood. I gripped her on the neck and pulled her up. “How dare you put a finger on my mate! I swear, I'll never forgive you. You must pay with your life for what you've done to my mate!”That's all it took for me to snap her neck. When I realized the witch had finally been killed, I tossed her to the ground and turned around towards my mate, who was now lying helplessly on the floor with Xavier by his side. Seeing my mate struggling for his life made my heart ache terribly. I felt like I was going to die from the pain. I managed to carry myself to his side. “
***Melissa's POV***“Argh!” I screamed out in pain as the young witch continued to cast her spell. Presently, I had shifted back into my human form as I couldn't bear the immense pain from the burning I felt on my back. Just then, I heard my child scream out. I quickly turned around to see my child who was crying non-stop. If it were to be in another situation, I would have been annoyed at the fact that my child was crying so hard. But currently, I felt relieved that my child was crying because it was an indication that he was alive. The cries of my child suddenly gave me the strength I thought had been drained by the witch. “You think I'm going to let you win? Never!”I struggled to stand up on my feet while the Witch continued to cast her incantations. I wasn't concerned about what she was doing at that moment. Rather, what I was more concerned about was the fact that I had to escape from this coven after finishing off their witch. With the little power left in me, I shit my ey
***Alpha Xavier's POV***Just as I was about to join them to cast the spell, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my heart, which made me stagger backwards. “Argh!” I heard someone scream, to my shock, it was Arnold. He held on to his chest just like I did. “Arnold, Xavier, what's going on. Why do you both feel the same pain at once?” Emilia asked, confused. “I have no idea, Emilia.”They probably do not know since we are of different tribes, but I know very well what this means. “We need to hurry with whatever spell week is about to carry out. Melissa is in danger. She must have been hurt,” I said in panic. I sat next to Arnold. At this point, I can't afford to hold whatever grudge I have against since we both have one common goal, and that is to find Melissa as soon as possible.I shut my eyes and let Emilia cast the spell, just as she had said she would. In no time, I found myself in the woods. I looked around, but I was alone. Where were Emilia and Arnold? Just then, I realized
**Alpha Xavier's POV***I've searched the woods for two days, yet there was no sign of a single witch. I was beginning to doubt whether what Badmos gave me was effective or not. Of course, it has to be effective. I had to find my child, but I don't even know where to search anymore. “Alpha, Xavier, I'm not sure if we'll be able to find your son this way. I think what we need is a powerful watch who knows the terrain. The orb is probably broken or ineffective.”“I thought so too,” I muttered. “Why don't we go back to the coven to see how things were in the coven?”“No, I can't!”“What? Why not?” Drake asked in surprise. “Listen, I promised my Luna that I was never coming back until I could bring my child with me.”"Of course I was there when you said that, but at this point, you also know that there's no way we can find your son. He's an Infant, where do we even begin to search for an infant.”“My child isn't whom I'm looking for, but the bitch who took my son.”“But there's no such
***Melissa's POV***I stood in front of two ladies. One looked as old as Emilia while the other was as young as I am, though I could tell that she's not as young as I think she is. To worsen it, she's the one carried my child who is now quiet. I wonder if he's doing okay by being silent, or if they used some kind of dark spell to keep him shut. “I'm here now, please give me back my child.”The ladies both looked at one another and laughed out hysterically. “Mother, she's such a naive one. Who would have thought that she'll really come to us so easily.”“Don't talk like that child. She's a mother, so it's only natural that she would do everything to save her child, and this is one thing we lack.”“You're right now. And that is why we must break this goddess forsaken curse!”The moment they mentioned the curse, I was reminded of what Emilia had told me earlier about the curse my grandmother had laid on them. “The curse, huh? I know about this curse. But then, my child has got nothing
**Badmos POV**While in bed, I couldn't sleep because I realized that this wasn't the best way to protect Melissa. I promised Xavier that I was going to watch over her, and the best way I could actually do that is by staying by her side if I have to. This is the only way for her me to fully keep an eye on her. I quickly rolled out of bed and headed to her room. But before then, I stopped at Emilia's. I knocked light in Emilia's door and in a few seconds, Emilia got the door. “Badmos, you're still awake.”“Couldn't sleep. With my grandson missing and Melissa in the terrible state she's in, I can't leave her in such a state, you know.”“You're right. I checked on her a few minutes ago. I think we should both check on her again, just to be certain she's okay.”Emilia and I both went to her door. But then, Emilia both noticed something strange, and that was the lack of a presence in the room. We could both feel it from where she stood. Emilia and I both exchanged quick glances before
**Melissa's POV***Even though I saw no wisps on the way, that didn't stop me from forging her head. I had the belief that no matter what, I'll find my child. After walking for almost an hour without knowing where I was headed, I suddenly noticed a bright light ahead of me. What is that? I increased my walking speed. I couldn't shift into my wolf, as I was too weak to do so. And since I'll be meeting a witch, then I'll have to retain my human form to fight if I have to. My wolf cannot save me from her spell, and I cannot carry out the spell I know as well. The more I walked over to the lights, the farther it looked. This is confusing. How can there be a bright light in the woods that is unattainable . Still, I didn't give up. The will to save my child is way stronger than any thought about giving up. I definitely cannot give up now, I don't care where my child is right now. All I know is that I must save my child as soon as possible.After walking for what seemed like hours, I fina
***Melissa's POV***I could hardly sleep when nightfall came. I worry about my child and my mates. I wonder whether they were doing okay or not. What if something bad had happened to them? Worst still, what if the Witches are more powerful than Xavier and Arnold? Doesn't this mean I'll lose everyone?I tossed in my bed with so much worry in my heart. The door to my room flew open and Emilia showed up. “It's as if I knew you wouldn't be sleeping by this time. “I can't sleep. I'm just too worried, we've tried all the tracking spells we know, but we still can't find them. Doesn't this mean they are more powerful than we are?”“Not at all. They are not as powerful as we are. The only reason it looks difficult to get them is their possession of dark magic. If not for the dark magic they possess, I can assure you that you'll surely get to them. They know they'll be caught, that's why they used the dark spell.”“Can't we use the dark spell too. I mean, since it has come to this point, don'
***Alpha Xavier's POV***“Your child is missing. I have seen it in my visions since three days ago.”That made me stagger backwards. “Wait a minute, I don't think I heard you correctly. What do you mean by my child has gone missing? “ How can he go missing just like that?“I'm sorry, this is hard for you to accept, but I can't lie to you about something like this, you know.”“I still don't get it. Why is my child missing? What happened to my child?” I demanded in rage. “Xavier, calm down. Your child is not dead yet. He's only missing. Presently, your Luna needs you most. Please hurry over to her side.”As soon as Alana said the last words, I bolted out of her room and headed straight to the witch's coven. “Alpha, where are you headed in such a hurry?”Drake asked as he saw me heading out of the pack house. I quickly turned around to face him. “Drake, you must take care of pack matters until my return. I need to attend to something pretty urgent.”“Why do you look panicked? Why don
