Nelson's POV
I stared at her for a while, the look on her face showed how much disgusted she is at the sight or even to hear of Melissa. Deep down inside me, I couldn't help but feel a bit pissed about Viviana's outburst, in a way that greatly surprised me.
"So what?!" She snapped bringing me back to my senses, getting a gaze not letting go of me.
"What do you want to tell me about her?" She asked not to give me a tiny breathing space.
I got on my feet, this time, we had our gaze fixed on each other, thoughts running through my mind as I thought of the best possible ways to let Viviana know about my next move.
"I can't be made Alpha '' I spoke out looking at her confused face, her brows furrowed as she stared at me like I am speaking gibberish.
"What do you mean by you can't be made Alpha, you are the first son of your father and the acting Alpha already. What nonsense are you talking about Nelson?" She asked, staring deep into me in a way that really freaked me out.
I took a step closer to her, shoveled my hands into my pockets and let out a loud sigh.
"Listen Viviana, I can't be made Alpha…"
"But why?" She snapped again not letting me complete my statement, "There should be a solid reason why you can't be made whom you are meant to be"
This time, I was totally pissed and didn't hide it, "Will you let me finish my statement and stop interrupting me at every minute. Gosh! Give me a break Viviana!" I fired at her with angry eyeballs.
Seeing how provoked I was, she glanced at her knees and returned her gaze back to me.
"I am sorry about that, I didn't mean to but you are saying things that don't make any sense to me" she said, more calmly this time as she dared not to provoke me the more.
"Listen Viviana" I placed my hands on her shoulders, our gaze fixed on each other.
"I never said that I won't become the Alpha, of course, I will" I stared at her as a relief expression emerge on her face, "All I am saying is that the elders refused to make me Alpha at the moment unless a condition is being made"
Viviana's brows furred in deep puzzlement, "A condition? What condition Nelson? How on Earth will you be given a condition for a position that is rightfully yours, this is your birthright Nelson '' her eyes enlarged as she spoke.
"Yeah I know but the rules of the pack should be followed and the way the laws are being set, even I myself is under it, no Alpha of this pack has ever been in higher position than the law, no one is above the law Viviana and this is something that you know very well of" I stated with a raised brow.
"Then what condition are they giving you this time?" She asked, her voice was so firm accompanied with the Stern look on her face, sharp enough to cut through any beast flesh.
I came very close to her, this time, our nose was almost meeting as we stared deeply into each other's eyes.
"The elders need I and Melissa to prove that we are in love before my coronation will take place"
Viviana eyes widened in terror, it streched so out that I thought her eyes were going to pop out at any minute, a look of rage begin to emerge inside of her.
"Never!" She yelled in anger letting go of my hands that held her shoulders.
"Never Nelson! Never! I won't watch and see you fall in love with her just because of your position!"
"Who told you that I am going to fall in love with her?" I asked, my forehead squeezed with a disgust look on my face.
"What else are you going to do?!" She looked away from me and scattered her hair into different directions as she began to pace around the office.
"You are going to love her just because of what you need, you badly want to take over your father's position and now that the only way for you to get what you want is by being in love with that human. I know you damn too well Nelson, I know that you will do it, then what will happen to me after all these years? Huh? What?!" Her eyes flared out in rage, "What is going to happen to me? My feelings, the love we have shared together for so long! Are you just going to flush it down the drain just because of a human you met a month ago…tell me Nelson! Tell me how fucking attracted you are at her now! After all, you ran after her from the library with so much vigor in your eyes until you met me. I should have known that this is going to happen to me but I won't stay and watch you love someone else, never Nelson, over my dead body!" She ranted so loud with fierce anger spreading out of her.
"You need to relax Viviana"
"Why Nelson?! Why?"
I got close, held her right hand and dragged her closer to me. Viviana is right, we have been together for so long, our memories, our laughter and love we shared together but as it is, fate decided to put us apart and now that all these is going on, I am certain that I am the most confused beast on the planet right now, my mind is about to explode in deep thoughts.
"I love you Viviana" I held her face, drawing her closer to me as we stared deep into each other's eyes. "We have been together for so long, so long for me to just let it all go away without any valid reason. My heart has always beat for you, no lady attracts me like the way you do but you have to understand that I am doing this because of my pack. The issues on ground are becoming too heated daily, getting to know that we are being attacked because our rival packs know fully well that I am yet to be made the Alpha. All these are damaging my reputation with every passing second and all I need from you right now is your perfect understanding, nothing else. All that I am doing right now is for us…" I tugged get hair behind her left ear, "And you know fully well that an Alpha is entitled to get mated with more than one woman, I can make you binded to me legally and I know that this is what we both have ever wanted, you know this Viviana'' I spoke gently yo her, our gaze not letting go of each other.
It was clear that she was buried in her thoughts and I was in mine too. I just need to say calm words to her, words that will make her feel relaxed even though deep inside me, I know that I have suddenly begun to doubt the love we both shared.
Viviana shook her head with closed eyes, she opened them to me and I could still see anger developing inside of it.
"You know too well that I just don't want to be your concubine Nelson. I need you to make me the Luna, that is who I want to be, not a second mate!" She asserted bluntly.
"That isn't possible Viviana"
"Then make it possible!"
"How?" I asked looking at her already crazy face, "I am already married to Melissa, she is the one chosen to me by the moon goddess herself. The elders had already chosen her as the Luna, this isn't something I can do, my hands are tied on this Viviana, you have to understand" I emphasized and as I spoke, the face of Viviana flashed through my mind. With closed eyes, I shook my head in a way to shove her off even though I know it's never going to work.
"So what now Nelson? What are you going to do concerning the Elder's condition? You just said that you don't want anything to do with a human. I don't even know why the moon goddess will make such a decision, this is a werewolf pack and not the human work, you need your Luna to be a Werewolf just like you and not a human who can't even protect herself" she spat, her eyes filled with so much hatred, so much that I had a hard time describing.
