***Melissa's POV***I tried taking his hands off my neck by struggling with his claws, but that was also impossible. I can't believe I'm about to die because of my curiosity. After struggling for a while, I noticed it would be a waste to fight him when I'm already at the verge of death. Just as I was about giving up my fate to death, I suddenly noticed, something shiny like a dagger pierced his forehead and blood splattered on my face. At the same time, his hold on my neck loosened. I used the medium to shift away from him, and he suddenly fell to the corner, revealing no one else but Alpha Xavier. He took out the knife from the vampire's body and wiped his silver dagger clean while I coughed out loud while holding on to my neck. I couldn't look at his face at this point because I knew exactly what his expression would be like. Just when I thought I could sneak in and out of the dungeon. I ended up getting caught. To worsen it, I was saved from death by the same person I avoided g

***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 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

***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 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
