Nelson's POV.
It's been days ever since I have been accustomed to the bed. Finally, I was going to be fully discharged by noon and have a meeting with Tinox at the hall.
I glanced at my reflection on a nearby mirror, my beards were neatly shaved by a maid and I must say that my appearance does look better, unlike the first two days of my stay here.
"You look blissful darling" the voice of Viviana shoved me off my thoughts.
I looked up only to realize that she had been with me before I drifted off into my world of thoughts.
Viviaba walked closer to where I laid with a cup of tea in her hand.
"Have this, it will make you feel better" she noted with a friendly smile on her face, her blue eyes shone brightly not leaving me.
With a nod, I took the cup away from her and had a sip of the hot tea, a good feeling subdued me whole.
"Do you like it?"
"Of course I do," I affirmed with a smile while taking another sip. "It's good to have this other than the liquid being given to me." I rolled my eyes while still taking more sips.
Viviana giggled, "You do need both for your health"
"I am back to normal now"
"I can see that," she affirmed, still looking at me.
"Why the stare?" I asked gently, placing the cup of tea on a table next to me.
She smiled deeply, "It's just so good to have you alive, I wish I was the one who saved you and not Melissa. I won't blame you if you should finally agree to have something to do with her since she saved your life"
I furred my brows, "Why do you say so Viviana?"
"She saved your life and now, the werewolves of this pack already views her as the next Luna and not me"
"You don't have to always think this way, I love you, not her '' I emphasized.
"But your subjects already acknowledge her, even your sister did from the on set, I am viewed as a reckless being who doesn't deserve you. I guess this is what the moon goddess saw, that's why she didn't choose me as your mate,instead, she gave you a human"
Feeling really bad for her words,I held her hand and gently stroked it with my thumb,"You worry too much Viviana, I have known you for years, I love you and always viewed you as my Luna. I don't care whatever anyone thinks, you have my heart and that is something no one can change"
Her lips stretched into a smile, "Are you sure about this?"
I nodded in affirmation, "Of course I am. You shouldn't overthink yourself with such unnecessary thoughts. You are all I want and the only werewolf I want to spend the rest of my life with. As for Melissa, she will be compensated with other things and not my attention…" I paused as a friend appeared on my face, "Although I still wonder how it was possible for her to save me,it still feels so impossible and I wonder how she might have done this without the help of anyone"
Viviana drew closer to me.
"Do you think Conri helped her?"
I gazed up at her pondering her words deeply, "Why do you say so?"
"Come on Nelson, we both know that they are very good friends, what if this was planned by them just to make her look like a savior. Anything is possible" she noted giving me a strong look
At first, I wanted to believe it so badly but to my surprise, I had a small feeling of doubt buried in my heart. I have yet to see Melissa ever since I have been here, I wonder what she is going to say when she sees me and at that point I felt a bit off that she didn't even pay me any visit ever since I have been away.
Does she want to stay away from me?
Is she feeling weird about the whole situation and thinks that staying away is the best thing she can do?
Or what has she been doing all these days?
Spending time with my sister or….
Conri!
The thought alone brought a feeling of jealousy in my heart and I tightened my eyes wondering why I do feel this way.
"Are you alright?" Viviana's voice brought me back into reality.
I looked up at her with a slight nod, "Yes, I am fine. Just wondering how the pack has been doing with my absence"
"I guess Conri is doing a good job," she replied.
At that point, the urge to see Conri filled me. I hope he isn't with Melissa. I just can't stop thinking why they went along so well with her having smiles on her face, an affection she can never show towards me.
"Where is Conri?"
"He is at the training ground, him and the newly recruited male werewolves,he is training them"Viviana replied, watching me.
I got out of the bed, picked up a blank clock on a sofa next to the bed and wrapped it around my shoulders.
"Where are you heading to?"
"I need to speak to him"
"I hope everything is fine?" She asked tenderly.
"Of course, I will come visit you at your time at night, now, I do have some business to run" I planted a light kiss on her lips and began to head towards the door.
"Don't you think it's best you rest more, you don't look too strong to me"
I averted my gaze at her, my fingers wrapped around the door knob, "I am perfectly fine now Viviana, we will talk later" saying this, I walked out of the room shutting the door behind me.
With my gaze fixed on the hallway, the image of Melissa kept flashing through my mind. I'm a way I couldn't control and I wondered why.
Is it because she saved me?
Is Viviana right about Conri planning this with Melissa?
Well, anything might be true but at the same time, a part of me really wanted me to see Melissa.
"You already miss her, don't you" Phoenix spoke out, abrupting my thoughts.
"Of course not!"
Phoenix chuckled.
"You can't lie to me, I feel every emotion you feel Nelson. I am you, your wolf,I read every thought that goes through your mind and I can say firmly that during your stay in that room, Melissa crossed your mind daily and you hoped she could walk into the room but unfortunately, she didn't.
Embarrassed, I looked up thankful that I am the only one who can hear Pheonix words,"You utter wrong words"
"You and I know that what I just said is nothing but the truth, you have to quit denying this all the time. Even if you don't want to have anything to do with her, I do want her! I want us to have her, I feel so excited whenever you are around her,there is this fierce tension that takes almost the whole of me by just you staring deep into those green captivating eyes of hers. She is our mate Nelson,you can't keep running away from her due to the anger you have towards the moon goddess for telling you not to be with Viviana the red head…." Phoenix paused and I could feel him scoffed inside of me, "I need Melissa, I need our mate, we need to mate with her, this feelings just keep growing Nelson and you can't continue to fight it"
I gazed up only to find myself out of the building, not responding to Phoenix words, I headed towards the training ground which wasn't far from the inn.
Getting closer, I could see Conri talking to one of the men who was in his wolf form. All the men being trained were in their wolf form.
Hearing footsteps, Conri gazed up and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"I wasn't expecting to see you" he started coming closer to me with a smile on his face.
"Alpha" the men present noted with bowed heads as I walked closer towards Conri.
"It's good to have you back Alpha" Conri bowed slightly as we stood close to each other.
"I am glad that I am back too. '' I acknowledge raising a brow.
Conri turned to the men, "You all can leave now, training continues tomorrow"
Immediately, the men shifted back to their human form, this time, they were naked. They walked towards a small chair and picked up some ropes that were neatly folded.
I watched them get dressed and after that, they walked out of the training ground leaving me and Conri.
"Any information concerning the hunters?" I asked immediately.
"Not yet, they are cold to attack but we must launch an attack on them for what they did to you" a hard expression of nothing but anger appeared on his face.
The memory of what happened that night flowed through my head,the pains that struck me filled my bones again and at that point, I knew that I must really get back at them for the sins they have committed towards not just me, but to my pack.
