STEFAN’S POV.“Arrgh” I grunted as I slowly opened my eyes.I was in the basement, and I felt much better than when I injected myself with that. If that man had already injected it into Melissa, she was going to react badly to it and then unspeakable things were going to happen, which wasn’t supposed to be. The human world and the supernatural world ought to be balanced and wolves were not supposed to lose control in this world.It was night already and then I had a bath, because I had gotten dirty. While in the shower, I could not help but keep thinking about Melissa. I was going to break down if anyone had done something bad to her and I will no longer have the will to live. In order to prevent that, it was better for me to protect her with my all.After I had my bath, I went to the balcony and I felt much relieved with the cool breeze that caressed my skin. Looking at the stars and seeing how beautiful they were made Melissa’s image to keep popping up in my head. I yearned to cudd
MELISSA’S POVI followed Stefan’s secretary and when I got to the office, I met Diana. What could he want to say in her presence?“Welcome. I heard that you were abducted. Can you remember the place, maybe we can call the cops or something?” He asked as he dropped his pen on the table.“Uhm… Unfortunately, I don’t. Was drugged when they dragged me there and when I was saved, I wasn’t paying attention to the roads.” I said, understanding the fact that he had to do this.“Alright. Anyways, I am glad that you are okay and please do not go anywhere on your own.” He advised.“Thank you.”Diana and I left his office and got back to ours, then started our work. “Oh! I almost forgot. Melissa, I must commend, you really did well, with Britney. This gothic outfit really seems like it has a bright future. I am certain that it would make sales and bring more recognition to our team. And this is the more reason we should have this dinner celebration, tonight. You must not miss it.” She said, with
MELISSA’S POVI remembered that Edward and I had agreed to meet this weekend, to visit the spa. I couldn’t possibly decline Stefan’s offer, because this way, I was going to be free from owing the favors he had done for me. I guess I was just going to push the spa time, further.“Alright then. I’ll get prepared for weekend.” I said.~I got back home and met Layla eating chicken like a person who had not eaten for days.“Oh goodness. Why the heck, are you rushing up what you are eating?” I asked as I dropped my bag on the sofa and sat down.“Well, I am so famished. You can’t blame me.” She said, still devouring the chicken.“What did you do today that got you so famished?” I asked, still giving her a baffled look.“Well, I guess I am just eating all I was deprived of, when I was abducted.”“I was also abducted, you know.” “Well, you aren’t hungry.”I shook my head lightly and went to the fridge to get a chilled mango juice. “So, how was work today?” Layla asked me as she dropped the
MELISSA’S POVThe next day, I got ready for work and made sure that I was not going to be late. Fortunately, I was able to get to work, early and I met Edward, working on some things.“Hey, Edward.” I greeted him as I sat on my chair and dropped my bag.“Hey. How was your night?” He asked as he faced me.“It was splendid, thanks.”I wanted to tell him about my plans that had changed, but I didn’t know how to put it to him. I had already put myself in his shoes. If anyone had disappointed me, especially someone I least expected it from, I wasn’t going to be happy, so knowing this, made it hard for me to tell him about the changed plans.“Uhm… Why do I feel like you have something to say to me?” Edward asked as he turned to me.“Why do you think so?” I asked, trying to keep my cool, because it was all of a sudden.“Well, you haven’t settled down and your legs aren’t completely under your desk. Your body movement shows that you aren’t done with me.” He said, with his gaze, fixed on me.“
STEFAN’S POVIt seemed to me like she was regaining her memory or something and I wanted to call her Jana, in case she was back to Jana.“Melissa? Melissa? Jana?” I called out to her, holding her tight.Then she looked up at me, with her lips, dry. It seemed as if she wanted to speak, but the words couldn’t come out of her mouth. “Alright, you just need to gain your strength, back. Just sit and relax.” I said as I helped her to sit and rest her back.After a few minutes, she looked much better.“Are you feeling better now?” I asked, out of concern.“Yes, I am much better. Thank you.” She said as she stood up.“You are about to take your leave?” I asked, desiring more time with her.“Yes. And I would love it if you never call me by the name, Jana, anymore.” She said, respectfully, then left.I felt a bit unhappy, because my hopes were raised, thinking that she would be back to being Jana, but that wasn’t the case. It seemed as if hearing the name, Jana, made her annoyed. Or maybe beca
MELISSA’S POV“Y…you are using your hands to eat?” I asked in surprise.“Yeah, it is a free world. You don’t have to feel that if you do not go by some of the norms of this world, you are wrong. Sometimes, just go with the flow of how you feel.” He said as he chewed his steak.He made me feel enlightened, but I couldn’t bring myself to eat the steak with my hands. It was just so weird, where people of a high class, were. But I was impressed by how Stefan wasn’t filled with pride, even with how successful he was. He was a good boss and I am certain that if he had friends, he was a good friend to them as well.~We were done eating and we walked slowly over to a river bank and I was beaming with smiles.“So, how did you enjoy today’s tour?” Stefan asked, with his hands in his pockets.“Well, I think it is when we get to the hotel’s entrance you should ask that question, because we can’t tell, what if we decide to go somewhere else?” I said, with a wide smile.“Oh, I understand. Alright
STEFAN’S POVSeeing Melissa in a difficult situation made me alert. I didn’t want to lose her again and that was the reason I told myself that I would protect her with all my might. “Melissa! Hold on! I’m coming to you.” I called out to her as I ran with human speed and before I got to where she was, she had already saved herself and was coming out of the water, laughing as she covered her mouth.“So, you could swim?” I asked, wondering why she pulled that prank on me.“I can swim. But I had a bit of a problem back there, when I almost had a muscle cramp, so if you think I did that intentionally, no, I didn’t.” She said, with a slight smile on her face.Regardless of if she did that intentionally, it made me fall in love with her the more and made me wish more and more that she would regain her memory. She was certainly a werewolf, regardless of her being reborn. It was such a rare case for a supernatural to be reborn as a human and that is the fact I will stand on.“I’m glad you are
MELISSA’S POVI was annoyed at the way Stefan spoke rudely to the couple and that only made me lose interest in what was happening here. I was embarrassed to be identified with him and it was certain the couple would think that I was also like him, since I was moving with him and all.No matter how hard I tried, I still couldn’t get that scene off my mind and it renewed every single moment I remembered it. My phone rang and I checked who was calling. It was Layla.“Finally. A distraction.” I said, with a smile as I answered the call.“Hey Melissa. I called to check on you. How is that place and how are you enjoying the nice view, which I am certain the city would have.” Layla said, giggling over the phone.“Well, the city is glorious and it has wonderful sights. I am more than honored to be here and I will make sure that I take in all the beautiful sights I can take in, before I leave.” I said, with a wide smile on my face.“I envy you. Anyways, while you are there, I can freely eat a
