Melissa's POV
I froze to my ground, words failed to proceed out, my gaze fixed on the eyes which stared at me with so much contempt.
I heard a loud scream coming down the hallway, fear gripped me but I dared not to turn my gaze away just to know what was going on. The glare in front of me was so fierce, a strong hand tightened my mouth so hard.
"You must be the little bride of the prince, his rejected mate" the voice let out with a tone of mockery.
His eyes, those red eyes, the same eyes I saw in my dream nights ago, the eyes of the wolf who chased me into the pit, those eyes stood right in front of me.
I tried to see the face but the mask which was over the face prevented me. There was nothing else to see but red angry eyes and sharp elongated teeth that were ready to tear me into pieces.
"I must say, you are more pretty than they described you, your elegance, flows with so much grace and I wonder if the prince might be too blind enough not to see this"
The strong hand which covered my mouth made it impossible for me to speak, I whimpered with death frightened eyes, my body trembled.
"I should have killed you when I had the chance, I shouldn't have let you escaped, I should have pierced my claws right into your heart and rip it out before you could even breathe but now that I have you, I must accomplish that once and for all"
Immediately, he brought forth his elongated claws making me have a clear view of it. My heart began to race so fast, faster than ever with wobbling legs.
I tried to struggle away from his grip but it was no use,the look in his eyes showed how eager he is to hurt me.
"Do you remember me Alissia?" I heard him call me.
Confused, I tried to talk but his hand which covered my mouth prevented me.
What did he just call me?
I am Melissa not Alissia.
Who is this man and what is he talking about?
I struggled to get free from his grip but no matter how hard I tried, it felt like I was still standing at a spot and not moving any part of my body.
"Don't make me lose my patience girl" he growled at me, "I am not easy to deal with, you don't have to be scared, this is going to be a fast death, you won't feel any pain at all"
At once, I felt a sharp pain on my forehead, I tried to scream but no sound came out. Thick liquid flowed down my face and as it got to my mouth, I realized that it was nothing but my blood, the claws of the stranger pierced so deep inside of me.
"Alissa"
"Pure Alissa"
"It's so good to see you in such pain, oh, this feels so good watching the agony surpressing you, I should have done this long ago but I was so stupid not to have carried it out but now that it's done, I can sleep in peace after so many years of endless waiting." saying this, he dugged his claws deeper into my flesh. More blood oozed out non-stop, I began to shiver as the images before me began to seem blurry.
No way Melissa
You have to fight for your life
Whoever this person is, clearly, he knows you are.
I continued to struggle, my legs began to jerk.
Suddenly, I heard a loud growl behind us, with the last strength in me, I gazed up only to find Nelson standing few feet away from where I was badly tortured.
The images before me begin to split in two, more blood oozing out freely from my forehead.
Sighting Nelson, the man let go of his grip and I fell heavily to the ground, my head spinning in different directions.
Slowly, my eyes began to close, I was going into a state of unconsciousness and I knew it. I looked up only to find Nelson who began to transform into a dangerous wolf right In front of me, hairs covered his body and his teeth were so terrifying to look at.
Scared to the core, I couldn't hold on anymore and before I knew it, I was subdued by deep darkness that swallowed me.
