Melissa's POV
"How did it go?"Conri quickly asked as soon as we were alone in his room.
I couldn't help but scan around in admiration, his room is way bigger than I expected and very well arranged in a taste that radiated excellence.
I have always known Conri to be a man of taste but seeing him play this trait of his in his room, I couldn't help but admire not hiding my reaction.
"You have a really nice room"
I watched him smile at my compliment. "Thanks Melissa" he muttered and pointed at a nearby Sofa, "Take a seat here"
I smiled, walked towards his well arranged bed and sat at the edge, "Here is better instead" I said watching a look of surprise radiated in his eyes.
"Alright" he replied, walked towards the bed and sat next to me.
"How did it go?" He asked, this time, a more serious look on his face.
I shook my head and he let out a deep loud sigh.
"I know it won't work. Anabelle is already into that guy, she is in love so anything you or I are going to say to convince her won't work. The best thing is to bring Nelson into this, he is the only one that can implement a strong hand on her and make the relationship come to an end once and for all"
My heart broke.
"Conri"
He turned to me.
"The truth is that she didn't do anything. She just got up and walk away not telling me what decision she might take"
Conri stood up, he didn't look happy at all.
"Melissa, you fail to understand the gravity of this"
"I do understand"
"No, you don't!" He affirmed strongly as I stared at him in deep puzzlement, "Yes you don't Melissa, you don't. Bring the Luna if this pack does not require for you to be soft on serious issues like this. Anabelle is going astray all in the name of love, I don't care to know if the guy's love is genuine or not, all I know is that he will surely choose his life over hers if his pack gets to find out about this forbidden relationship. Get this straight Melissa…" he stopped, took some steps closer to me and stared deeply into my eyes, his hand inu shoulder as our nose almost met.
"Anabelle is also my friend but when I see her going down a wrong path, I won't just sit, fold my hands and watch it happen when I know that there is a way to prevent it from happening. Since she is not ready to come to a compromise, then it's best I take the best decision by involving Nelson into this,this is the only way that she can learn…" he stared deeply into my eyes as I stood still not saying a word, "This is something you have to do too…" he gently glanced at my chest and returned his gaze at me, "As a Luna, learn to take tough decisions at times even if it will cost you any pain as long as the decision you are taking is the right one"
"I know," I muttered.
Gently,he placed his hands on my chin, at his touch, I felt a warm feeling pass through me. I couldn't let go of his eyes neither could he too. The whole place fell dead quiet, it felt like the whole world just stopped.
"You are beautiful Melissa" I heard him whisper, so tender and filled with compassion, his eyes not letting go of me.
A spark of firelight flashed through my spine as I felt a knot in my stomach. His words felt so good to my ears,never had anyone who scored so amazing, the look in his eyes spoke more words than his mouth did,my heart began to race faster than ever.
"You are way more beautiful Melissa, I wonder why it's so hard for Nelson to see this" He whispered again, this time, he drew his face closer to mine. I watched his eyes fall on my lips.
Realizing this, I gulped really hard, beads of sweat formed in my stomach and I froze to my spot not knowing what to do.
"If you were mine Melissa, I will never ever let you out of my sight" he said and immediately, the door of his room opened.
I turned around, to my greatest shock, standing at the door post was no other person but Nelson who stared at us with angry eyes.
Conri quickly let go of me,fear was written all over his face.
"It isn't what it looks like"he said but Nelson was way too angry.
With rage, Nelson slashed his claws into Conri arms, he roared out in fury as his teeth elongated.
"You need to calm down Nelson!" Conri shouted but Nelson was so infruited that he couldn't listen. He pushed Conri so hard that he fell to the ground, breaking a nearby table into pieces.
I froze in fear, I didn't know what to do, I stood still watching both men who began to fight vigorously.
Confused and shocked of what was happening, my eyes glanced at the open door, the thought of getting out struck me.
Getting close to the door, I felt a tight grip around my arm, filled with terror, I gazed up and found Nelson's angry eyes on me.
"Come with me," he said, dragging me out of the room and down the hallway.
As much as I was scared, I tried to act brave as I struggled to get myself free from his grip.
"Let go of me!" I struggled but all to no avail. Nelson didn't even turn to look at me, he dragged me towards his chamber and as soon as we got in, Nelson pushed me heavily to the bed and quickly locked the door.
"Stay away from me!" I screamed, this time, I was very scared for my life. This is the first time I am seeing Nelson so angry to the point that I felt my heart racing non stop.
"You slut!" He roared and before I could turn away from him, I felt a strong blow on my face and my lip began to bleed immediately.
