***Melissa's POV***It was evening and I had just taken my bath, preparing myself for the night. Ever since the incident, I tried the best I could to stay away from Alpha Xavier's radar. It's bad enough that he hates me now. I don't intend to do anything that might make him hate me more or better yet send me out of his pack. After combing my long dark hair, I stared into the mirror and smiled. I might not be that much of a beauty to those who see me, but in my own eyes, I've never seen anyone looking as beautiful as I am right now. Just as I stood up from the dressing table, my vision immediately went blank. At the same time, I heard a loud scream, which made me run out of my room. The screams were that of maids, children, and women. My heart pounded heavily in my chest. Just then. I caught sight of a group of Vampires. They attacked the guards, women, and children. How's this possible where Alpha Xavier is? I ran out in the open, not
***Melissa's POV***“That is a good question. I think the first thing to do now is to find the source of the problem. And in this case, I want to believe that you are already aware of whom the source of the problem is.”“You mean, Alpha Xavier?”“Exactly. Listen, I'm well aware of the fact that you are the new mate of our Alpha. The pack members have no idea, and neither did the Alpha tell me about it. But there's little or nothing to be hidden from a witch.”“He doesn't see me as his mate. He hates me,” I said with pouty lips.”“He doesn't hate you. It's just that his heart is not open to accept another woman yet. Melissa, I want you to understand Alpha Xavier. His mate died right in his arms. I was there too, so I can tell you just how painful it was for him. Watching his mate die without being able to help.”“Was it truly the vampires who had her killed?”“I would have said yes, but no.”“Huh? What do you mean?”“When Alpha finally saw his mate, she had already been bitten. She was
***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
