Melissa's POV
"We both know that's impossible, Conri" I noted sternly, my eyes not leaving him. "Nelson hates us! We literally hate each other! What makes you think that if he didn't listen to you that he will to me? No way Conri, I won't do such" I asserted strongly.
Conri didn't say a word at first, he stared at me with a strange expression that got me even more confused.
"What? Why the stare?"
"You actually don't know who you are Melissa"
"How does that have to do with the request you just asked from me?" I Implored her not to look away from her.
"I am sure that Nelson will listen to you. Just try, don't conclude on it yet. You might be able to stop him from doing this, Nelson might end up listening to you…"
"No!" I let out cutting him short, "We both know that it won't happen. I and Nelson don't have a good relationship. You are his Beta, he didn't listen to you, then how sure are you that he is going to listen to me?" I stared at him really deeply.
"I am sorry Conri, if this is within my power, I will definitely do it but with the way it is, I am sorry, I just can't. This is about your friend who doesn't even want to have anything to do with me. I can't even believe you will think that Nelson would consider my opinion, of course not! He won't even give a shit about me. So there is no need hanging onto something that won't work out, please, it's best you go over and talk to his lover Viviana, she will be in a better position to help you, not Me" I asserted strongly, nothing he said was going to change my mind or make me consider talking to Nelson into changing his mind.
As much as the pain he cost me some hours ago still hurts like hell, I still felt bad knowing that he would make such a reckless decision.
So Arrogant and full of himself!
Maybe it will be best for him to go alone, maybe he can learn his lesson and stop holding firm to that disgusting pride of his.
Conri appeared speechless, clearly, he felt disappointed that I didn't agree with him but he is in a better position to understand how I feel and how terrible his friend treats me, no way, I won't !
"Alright Melissa, I won't force you to do something you don't want to. It is your decision and I understand perfectly. You are free to hang onto what you feel is right. All I wanted was to save a friend, nothing else but I don't blame you" he smiled, "I understand how you feel towards Nelson, he isn't a saint but at the same time, it will be best if you both work things out for good. And don't forget, the making of Nelson is in your hands, it's best you let go of the pain and If you two still want to keep up with this, it's best you do it after your coronation as the Luna'' saying this calmly with a smile on his face, Conri walked away heading back into the royal building.
In as much as I felt bad for not trying to help him, but still, the person he is laying such favor for doesn't deserve it at all.
"Argh!" I groaned angrily for many reasons. Myself, my father, Nelson and so many other people around my life. I just couldn't place where I stood at the moment, a realization that really drew me out of myself.
Taking a seat nearby, I gazed forward towards the maids plowing the field.
************************************************
Conri's POV
I strolled back into the building thinking really deeply. I could feel Melissa's eyes stuck right at me, the urge to turn around to her imprisoned me so hard but I ignored, my eyes fixed to the building.
Ever since I heard that Nelson has finally gotten married, at first, I thought it was Viviana, they have been lovers ever since they were kids and everyone expected them to end up together thinking they are destined to be together but to my shock, I got to know that he ended up with a human, something that has never occured in the history of past Alphas.
At first, I was skeptical about it and wondered why Nelson could dumb Viviana whom he had known all his life for a human he knows nothing about. But as soon as I knew it was the moon goddess' decision, I had no other choice but to accept it.
Getting the letter from Anabelle who wrote to me as I stayed away from the pack, u decided to return back getting to hear how Nelson's father was. With the words of Anabelle stating that he might kick the bucket at any time, I knew that it's better I head back here as quickly as possible.
Immediately I got back to the pack, Anabelle was the first to welcome me and tell me how much she needed me to guide her brother. At first, I didn't want to due to my busy schedule but knowing how good of a friend Anabelle is to me, I had no other option than to help and to my amazement, the first time I laid my eyes on Melissa at the garden, I felt my heart leap in a way it had never done before.
Her long black hair, deep green eyes that drew me so close to her helplessly and the moment she smiled at me, my breath seized and no matter how hard I tried to control myself, it still didn't work.
Ever since that day, I just couldn't get her off my mind. I looked forward to seeing her and just watching Nelson treat her like she doesn't matter. It hurts me so deeply but there is nothing I can do. She belongs to him legally even though she doesn't love him either.
One thing I am certain about is that I will never come between them. Nelson is my friend also, a very good one at that even though we had lots of disagreements growing up. I love him just like I love myself and knowing that Melissa is his mate, I decide to keep my feelings to myself.
"You do love her, don't you" Max growls inside of me.
I didn't say a word, ignoring it completely but walked down the hallway heading to Viviana's bedroom. Maybe Melissa is right, Viviana can help with this, I know how much Nelson loves her and he might end up listening to her instead of me.
"Hey! You do love Melissa right! Don't ignore me" Max growls again more aggressively this time.
"Let me me" I shunned.
"I won't"
"You have too Max, I don't have time for this today" I responded stronger than before.
"I live inside of you Conri, I listen to your thoughts every second. I am the wolf inside of you and any emotions that grow inside of you, I feel it too. I know how hard your heart beats anytime you lay your eyes on her. It is so strong and you can't deny this, then why pretend that you feel nothing for her".
"She belongs to someone else!" I felt very frustrated as deep heat began to grow inside of me.
"Don't you understand Max, she belongs to someone else. She isn't mine and it's not right for me to have such feelings towards the Alpha mate, this is very wrong" I countered feeling very angry at myself.
Max Chuckled, "She belongs to him but her heart doesn't, this is different Conri"
I shook my head totally disagreeing as I took another turn through the hallway.
"Feeling this way towards her is very wrong in the first place. I won't let my feelings get in the way of her relationship with whom she is meant to be with, the moon goddess chose her for Nelson even…" I paused with sad realization in my eyes, "Even when he doesn't acknowledge her existence" I said feeling very bittered.
