Melissa's POV.
The morning breeze flew past me as I stood next to the open window, my eyes fixed at the open field of the pack.
As I started watching each maid who went about with their daily activities, my mind was far away from reality and the whole incident played continuously in my head.
It's been three days ever since I brought Nelson back into the pack along with the help of Conri. I heard that he is finally awake but still in treatment and according to Anabelle words, he might be discharged today and the thought of seeing him made my first crawl.
Ever since he has been away, I didn't dare to go pay him a visit just to know how he is doing. Although I had the urge to visit him, my self esteem stopped me.
He doesn't deserve him
A man like Nelson doesn't!
His rude ways and acts never seem to amaze me and every time I remember how he treated me the day I helped him when he fell face down to the ground, I know that a man like him can never change even after he knows that I saved his life.
I saved his life?
Yes I did!
But how?
I still can't understand how it was possible for me to find Nelson so late at night deep in the woods. Never have I been towards the path I found him ever since I was taken away from.the human world. But that night, it felt like my whole body was in the wrong place and the more I took each step, the more my body was willing to find someone like I knew exactly what's going on.
Yes it's true!
Very true that I had no idea it was Nelson the force was leading me too. All I can remember is that I had a very frightening dream of someone buried alive. I woke up screaming with sweat all over my body and wanted nothing but to find this. All I felt was a great urge to get up from the bed, get out of the pack and journey deep into the woods only to encounter the almost dead Nelson.
What does this mean?
I strongly believe in Fate and I know that it's fate who led me to Nelson but why? I have absolutely no reason for knowing how bad our relationship is and how he cheated with his lover Viviana who hates me so much that she could easily kill me if she was given the chance.
I do believe that something isn't right somewhere.
First was my attack felt in the woods, followed by that disturbing dream of mine, my attack by a red eyes man and now this!
The whole piece wasn't adding up and my guts couldn't stop emphasizing that something indeed isn't right. It hasn't been three months since my stay and all of these things have happened, my mind persuading me that more is ought to come.
A knock on the door drove me out of my thoughts. I averted my gaze to the door wondering who it might be, the thought of facing Nelson made my heart leap in a way I didn't like at all.
"Do come in" I replied firmly knowing fully well that if indeed it's Nelson, he won't knock to get access into his chamber.
The door opened and to my greatest shock, standing at the doorstep is no one else but Viviana.
She closed the door behind her, her lips stretched into a smile as she took some steps towards where I stood.
"Good to see you Melissa" she uttered, breaking the silence between us, the smirk not going off her face.
At that point, I felt a strange feeling which overwhelmed me and at that point, I knew that indeed, something was off.
"What are you doing here?" I asked not hiding how unwelcome she is, "Nelson isn't in here so it's best you come back when he is" I chipped in still watching her.
Her lips stretched further as she gave me what I ought to say must be her friendliest smile.
"Relax Melissa, I can see that you are surprised and not happy to see me here. I perfectly understand, any maiden in your shoes could feel the same way towards her mate lover" she smirked, her eyes lighted with a complex look that I knew for sure that she is behind something.
"Like I stated earlier…"I begin with my words, "I have no business with your relationship with Nelson, you knew him before I did. My marriage with him was more like a forced one so I don't give a shit on whom he wants to have as a lover" I bluntly confirmed but the smirk on her face didn't come off.
At first, Viviana didn't say a word, she scanned around the chamber like it was her first time being in it. With a scoff, she shrugged her shoulders and averted her gaze at me, "I can see that you have fully taken charge of this chamber but like you said, I have no business with this. Anyway…"she took.a step towards where I stood watching her with folded arms.
"Anyway…"she muttered again, "I am not here to cause war or to fight for a bargain. I have important thing to do rather than to exchange words with you"
"Then what exactly are you doing here because last time I checked, you have no business in here" I fired, not giving her a pretty chance.
Slight anger flashed through her eyes but she still had a smile on her face. I know she is trying so hard not to stop smiling like a lunatic .
"Calm down, it shouldn't look like we are desperately fighting over a man" she shook her head.
"I am not fighting over a man with you, get this Viviana" I said not ready to give her a chance to mess with me because girl! You might be a werewolf but they don't stop me being hard on you.
Viviana smiled,"I'm just here to thank you for saving the life of Nelson. If not for you, he might still be present in the woods without Conri unable to find him
I stood still surprised at her words, her smile defined as her blue eyes glittered in pleasure.
"I am not here to cause a fight Melissa, I am not the bad picture everyone had painted me to be. So just see this as a way of me showing my gratitude, Nelson is all I have left in this world and I am glad that my own rival was able to save him…" she chuckled. "Well, I have to return back to the room where he is, Nelson needs me and I will always be there for him" . Saying this, she smiled gracefully leaving me very bewildered about the whole thing.
I stood still unable to believe my encounter.
Viviana thanked me?
I don't think this is just a gratitude, there is something more than I am yet to see. I can see something very off about the whole thing and her smile is something so weird.
I glanced at the door she just walked past, now, I know that she came in here to mock me and tell me how much more important she is to Nelson than I am and I don't care. They can both go to hell for all I care. Right now, all I want is to find my sanity and to also search for the woman who vanished into thin air at the pack gate.
