***Alpha Xavier's POV***I comforted Melissa after she told me everything that she found out about her parents. This sounds so suspicious to me, but then, I would rather not jump into conclusions. At least, not until I find out what is real and what is fake. After having dinner with Melissa, I escorted her back to her room and put her to sleep since she was feeling tired.I was supposed to. To sleep right next to her, but at this moment, I feel there's something more I need to do. Something I needed to find out and that prevented me from sleeping. I looked at the tone, and it was way past 12:Am. Though it was midnight, but if he's who I suspect him to be, there's no way he'll be asleep now. I slowly got out of bed and tiptoed all the way to the infirmary where he was. I knocked on the door sharply, hoping I wouldn't get a reply, but to my greatest surprise, the door flew open, and he stood right in front of me, not looking sleepy at all.“I never thought that I would find you awak
**Melissa's POV***After, Xavier carried me in his arms to my room. He promised that he was going to spend the night with me. He stayed in my room until I fell asleep. But then I woke up and thought of wrapping my hands around him, and that was When I noticed that he wasn't on the bed with me. At first, I thought he must have gone to the toilet. I waited for a while, and when I didn't see a sign of him, I quickly got out of the bed and went into the bathroom myself. But to my greatest surprise, he wasn't there. I thought he might have gone to his office, and so I decided to go over there and tell him to come to bed. He had gone through so much in the hands of the Vampires and hence there's nothing more I want from him than for him to get a proper rest. Unfortunately, when I arrived at the hospital, I was shocked to find out that he wasn't there. This got me confused because I was really anticipating seeing him in his office. I went to his room but found it empty as well. At this
**Melissa's POV***“How would I know?” I snapped in anger. “That's because she was actually on a run.''“What?” I uttered, wide-eyed. “What do you mean?”“Beta Kyle, actually wasn't a good husband to your mother. When I saw her, there were bruises all over her. She begged to stay with me because she couldn't bear being maltreated by her husband. And being her mate, I hated to see my mate suffer in the hands of another man who isn't her mate. I felt hurt and hence I wanted to keep her with me, so I could keep her safe.”I blinked as tears ran down my cheeks. If what he was saying was true, does this mean, dad has always been someone violent? I thought he only did that with me because he was mad at me for being weak. Just then, I raised my head up, and stared at Badmos suspiciously. “This could be a lie for all we know. There's no way my mom would be mistreated by my dad. How am I not certain that you made mom stay by your side because you didn't want to lose her to another since she
***Melissa's POV***We finally bid goodnight, and I went back to my room with Xavier trailing behind me. He didn't say a word to me, and neither did he come over to me. He just watched me from behind. I folded my hands together as I lazily walked to my room. The story about my mom and my real dad was such a sad one. If I hadn't known better, I would have thought my mom was a slut. I would have thought she actually abandoned my dad to be with a wizard. The goddess planned all this to make me understand my mom better, even when I had no memory of her. As soon as I got into my room, I laid on the bed without sparing Xavier a glance. “Lisa, I know you're sad, and you might still not be able to accept all the information you heard today. But I want to let you know that if I had been in Lord Badmos shoes, I would have done the same. I would fight for my mate until my last breath. Tears ran down my cheeks at his words. I don't doubt him at all. I know he would do exactly what he said he
***Melissa's POV***The day I was crowned as the new Luna of the Vulcan Pack was like a dream I never wanted to wake up from. I was so happy and clung onto the arms of Xavier, who equally held on to me. We were literally inseparable as of that moment. He took me wherever he went. “Are you tired, my love?” I went wide at what he called me. “Love? Yes, that's what you are. If there's a better word than love, I would like to use it.”This put a smile on my face. “Xavier love, this day is my happiest day in my entire life.”“Hell no, I don't want today to be the happiest day of your life. I want to make sure every day is the happiest day of your life, my love.”“My goodness! His words made me blush like crazy. It was rare to see Xavier use sweet words on me. But today, he's been using it more than often, so I couldn't help blushing like hell. I would have loved to continue with him, but then I suddenly felt pressed and I could hardly hold myself. “Uhm, my love, can you excuse me fo
***Xavier's POV***I waited patiently for my Luna, but she was taking so long. I thought she said she was only going to ease herself. I wonder if she had been caught up on something else. I decided to go searching for her, but just as I was about to head out of the hall, I was met with Kyle. This gave me a shock because I was never expecting to see him. “Kyle? What are you doing here?”“I'm here because of Caspian. Since your Luna coronation is talked about everywhere, there's no way I wouldn't have attended. I mean, we are talking about my daughter here.”“Excuse me? Do you have a daughter?”“What? Of course, I have a daughter, Melissa.”“Are you kidding me right now, Kyle. When was the last time you laid eyes on the so-called daughter you claim to have?”“It's been such a long time since I saw her, but she's still my daughter, either way.”“No. I think you're mistaken. Melissa is not your daughter. And even if she were, your ties were caught off since the day you joined the crowd
**Melissa's POV***“Matter of fact, I have to Alpha. I need to let her know and understand what I had planned to do with her from the onset.”I bit my lips, trying to surprise the rising anger inside of me. “When she went into labor, it became life and death that we were told that only one of them would survive. I had thought she was going to stand up for herself since the child was never accepted in the first place, but she dared to choose her child. She preferred to die to save her skin.”“Arrrgh!” I screamed out in pain as I couldn't bear to hear what Kyle was saying. That instant, Caspian walked over to him way before Xavier could and gave him a terrible blow across his face. “What a terrible person you are, Kyle!”As much as I wanted to watch him and make him pay for what he did to my mom, my body couldn't take it and my weakness took the best of me that I passed out right in the arms of Xavier. ~I woke up with the worst of a headache and when I opened my eyes, I felt somethi
**Melissa's POV***I shook my head in denial. There's no way such a thing is happening to me or my child. “No, dad. Tell me this is all some kind of big joke?”I can't believe this. Why does it seem like whenever I get some good news, bad news is bound to follow? Was this some kind of a curse that I don't know about? This is not fair at all. Why must I go through such a terrible fate?“Listen, child, I want to let you know that there's nothing for you to be scared about. I'm right here with you and hence you don't need to be scared, trust me.”“B…but what if she finds out and decides to come for us? According to you, she would find out about the child in due time. What are we going to do now?”“Just trust me and not worry your head over anything. Can you do that for me?” I nodded my head with a slight smile. I didn't want my dad to worry, but deep down, I was worried and scared for my unborn child. I don't think I can bear
