Melissa's POVAt first, none of us said a word to each other, our eyes still locked together."Why do you look so surprise Melissa, I am sure that you know about this already"My jaw dropped at his words, covered by guilt, I gazed down at the grass."How could you know about something like this and keep it to yourself? How could you Melissa?!" He roared really upset.Surprised to see Conri in such a way, I knew within me that this has become more serious than I originally thought of it."Anabelle is my friend and she begged me to keep this a secret" I mumbled, raising my head up to him.Conri shook his head really aggressively, he brushed through his hair scattering it into different directions."Can you even hear yourself Melissa? I know how close you two are but that isn't enough reason for you to see the danger their relationship brings and inform Nelson about this. This isn't just Nelson pack but yours too, you are Luna and it is your responsibility to protect your subjects and is
Conri's POVI stared at Melissa, the night breeze shoveling through us as I thought of the possibility of anyone seeing us standing so close to each other.Angered that she knew about Anabelle's forbidden love affair, I looked away from her. This is not Melissa's fault, she Is just trying to protect her friend who clearly is my friend too and blinded by love.At first, when I saw Anabelle sneaking out of the pack some nights ago. I became skeptical, deep curiosity filled me as I wondered what she must be up too.It is forbidden for the female member of the royal family to leave the pack and seeing her escaping from afar, I had no other choice but to follow her just to know what she must be up to.As quiet as possible as I was, we walked deeper into the news. Anabelle couldn't help scanning around with the hope that no one is behind her, this act of hers made me very confused."She must be up to something very displeasing" I muttered to myself as I followed her behind only to my greate
Nelson's POV"Never Nelson! You can't do this to me!" Viviana screamed like a maniac, her angry eyeballs not leaving me as she stared deep into my soul."I have no other choice but to do this Viviana. The safety of my pack lies in this and I can't just sit and watch everything my father built crumble when clearly I have a way to make everything work" I asserted trying to make her see reason."Isn't there another way for this to work out without you sleeping with her?!" She fired with piercing rage."I am not sleeping with Viviana! Don't make this seem so difficult. We are just going to pretend that we love each other, just for the main time so that I can get browned at the Alpha of the pack. As soon as this is accomplished, we will drop the act and go back to the way things are"Fuming, Viviana paced around her room deeply filled with thoughts."I don't like the sound of this Nelson, I really don't because I fear that you might end up developing clear feelings for her and this will c
Nelson's POV"That was so good," Viviana muttered with a chuckle.I nodded without saying a word. Our sexual feeling had always been good but not withstanding how good this was, I felt that indeed something was off, something just doesn't seem right."I need to go" I got out of bed quickly putting on my pants.A look of surprise and confusion appeared on her face, "Won't you spend the night with me?" She asked, watching me intensively.I glanced at her but immediately, the face of Melissa flashed through my mind. At that point, I couldn't deny the urge of seeing her that held me imprisoned."I need to do something at the office"Viviana got out of bed Stark naked, "Then I will get dressed and stay with you at the office"Not pleased by that, I shook my head in disagreement."No Viviana, you don't have to""Why?" She asked with a frown on her face."You just can't , it's late and you need to rest. Moreover, Conri will be there with me and I am sure that you won't be comfortable with hi
Melissa's POV.I came to a halt, my eyes fixed on Nelson who had a displeased look on his face. Gently, his gaze left me and landed on Conri who I glanced at and returned my gaze to Nelson.He looked like a mess.His hair was rumpled and looked like he just got out of the bed.Gently, I glanced at his clothes, they looked just the same way his hair does and just with the direction he was coming from, it was clear that he wasn't returning from the chamber." Alpha '' I heard Conri mutter as the silence between the three of us felt very awkward.He glanced at me with a smile on his face, "We will talk better tomorrow"I looked at him, nodded, glanced at Nelson and walked away leaving the two men together.What was that for?Why did Nelson have such a look in his eyes the moment he sighted I and Conri. The possessive look in his eyes was so soul piercing that I just couldn't stare back at him for more than a minute.Not wanting to border myself with anything, I got into the chamber, had
Melissa's POVA look of surprise rested on Conri's face at the sight of me. Gently, I watched the surprise expression change into jealousy, a look I was surprised to see. His gaze left my face and rested on my hand wrapped around Nelson.Tinox on his part looked very surprised and pleased to see me and Nelson so close to each other with smiles on our faces.There was a large dining hall already arranged in the hall, on the table were placed food and drinks of different kinds and seated on each seat were men and women who I have never come across to. There were more than fifty if I wasn't mistaken and knowing that Nelson didn't inform me who they really are in their packs, I couldn't help but admit that maybe the whole members in different packs were present due to the population.Together with Nelson, we walked towards the end of the table, Nelson stood in front of his seat and I stood next to him. I glanced at my side only to find Conri who flashed me a warm smile."Thank you all for
Melissa's POV.Confused,I wondered what might be going on through Conri's mind. Throughout the meeting, he didn't look pleased, especially whenever Nelson acted so loving towards me.What is happening?Why is he acting this way?Did I do anything wrong?Or did I say anything to piss him off?Well, I think it's best I speak to him later today just to figure out what might be wrong because my mind just can't place anything at all."You two really surprised me" The voice of Tinox brought me back to reality.I looked up only to find him standing next to us."I must say that your maid puts in a lot of effort on your look Melissa, you look really great" he complimented.I smiled as I felt heat rise on my cheeks, "Thank you" I replied trying to hide my red burnt cheeks."Nelson, you really surprised me a lot, more than Melissa. The way you stood for her in front of your guests,I just say that you will indeed make a great Alpha,one that your father will be truly proud of"Nelson smiled with d
Melissa's POV"It's all a pretense?" She asked, staring at me.I nodded in affirmation, "Yeah, it is Anabelle, I later agreed to your brother's want just for the safety of the pack and nothing else, moreover, we made a deal on something and the only way for your brother to agree to this is for me following along with his pretense plan"At first, Anabelle looked speechless, she shook her head blinking way more than expected."Yeah, I got to know about the pretense plan my brother brought forward to you but I never knew you later agreed to it. I thought all of the rumors going on is nothing but genuine…" a look of sorrow appeared in her eyes, she held my hands and caress it softly with her thumb, "I am very sorry about this"Although I felt a bit bad, this is something I am used to already and I don't think it will hurt acknowledging this bitter truth."It's fine, you don't have to apologize for something you never caused. This is my gate kicking off and I am pretty much prepared for th
