Nelson's POV
I stared at the angry face of Tinox, looking away, I began to pace around biting my lower lip harder than I have ever done before.
"I don't know what else to believe, everything around me is just driving me insane and I don't think that I can handle it anymore"
Tinox nodded, "You should take the remaining day off in your chamber and think deeply about this decision you are about to jump in. Don't think outside the box, it's best you think from within and not do something that will jeopardize the safety of this pack and that of your regimen. This isn't something you have to throw away, I won't fold my hands and watch it slip away, no way will I do such. So you have to think about a decision before embarking on it. Do not make a decision you will end up regretting, your subjects need you, do not forget this"
Hearing his words, I walked out of the hall boiling deeply in anger.
Do my subjects need me?
A subject who decided to betray me and bring down my regime.
Is that subject worth dying for?
The longer I think about this, the more it was taking the best of me and I won't take it anymore. I will have to get into the woods alone, find who this traitor is, and get my pack back In shape. I won't risk this, yes, I won't.
I got closer to my chamber, and the thought of Melissa flashed through my mind accomplished with Tinox words. It was clear that he wasn't happy with my thoughts of my father making this up. Even inside my heart, I know that my father won't make this up knowing the way Melissa's present made him feel. This indeed has to be the moon goddess' decision, nothing else.
Suddenly, the words of Viviana filled me. Fine, we are lovers and I still can't deny that I felt somewhat attracted to Melissa these days but that doesn't mean that Vivianna doesn't affect me. The way she touches and speaks to me makes me think or do this I never thought that I would.
"Argh!" I groaned, rubbing my forehead. I looked up only to find the door of my chamber staring right back at me. Holding the doorknob, I turned it around and walked in, my eyes suddenly fixed on the open window far away from where I stood.
Not far from it stood Melissa. She didn't even try to turn around to me hearing the door open. At the sight of her, my stupid dominance of having her flashed across my mind and I felt very angry at myself.
This time, I needed to speak to her concerning our agreement to act that we love each other but at that point, I didn't know how to bring it forth to her.
"Melissa" I found myself calling out to her as I stood still, my gaze not letting go.
Not surprised, Melissa didn't avert her gaze at me, she still stood staring out of the open window.
"Melissa"
I called again and got no reply from her to the point of my annoyance.
"Are you just going to stand there and not say a word to me?" I asked not hiding the little rage erupting through my words.
"What do you want from me?" She suddenly said, There was a tone in her voice, a tone I couldn't detect.
"We need to talk"
"We have nothing to talk about" she responded firmly, not giving me a chance to add more words.
"Do listen to me, Melissa!" I spoke out louder than before. I walked closer to her and this time, she turned around to look at me.
"You always try to make things so difficult for us. I am just here to make peace and not to wage war with you but with everything, you just don't want to ever hear me out" my eyes flung wide open as I spoke out loud.
She didn't say a word but turned away looking out of the window again.
"Like I said Nelson, we have nothing to discuss about. I need to be left alone" she shunned, there was a sad tone in her which implied that she doesn't want to see me.
"Melissa" I walked closer to her.
"This isn't just about you. When will you ever stop being selfish? Do you think that I am happy things turned out like this? Do you ever think I wanted to live the rest of my life with a human Luna by my side? This shit hurts my ego and now, my coronation is at stake because of your stubbornness and selfishness. You better agree to this and let me get what I want, I am tired of trying to talk you into this!" I flung in rage not hiding how I felt at all.
Melissa stood still not reacting to the angry words I threw at her.
Frustrated, I walked toward my bedside and began to undress. I am trying to be nothing but reasonable but here is trying to put my regime at stake, this is selfish! Great selfishness.
Not trying to look at her, I walked into the bathroom, and had a warm bath with my blood running so wild through my veins. I was about to lose it in the most possible ways unexplainable.
Why is she so difficult?
What exactly does she want me to do?
What can I even say to change her mind?
She is proving to be far more difficult than I expect a human should be.
With all these thoughts running wild through my head, I ran to my bath and walked out surprised to find her still staring out of the window.
My heart melted knowing fully well that I wronged her hereby making this harder for me.
Not able to keep up with her silent treatment, I walked towards her, grabbed her arm, and turned her around to me and the moment our eyes locked, I saw those green eyes of hers soaked with tears.
At once, my countenance fell, it felt like a sharp sword was pierced so deep into my heart here by making me bleed profusely.
I tried to let out some words but nothing came out, our gazes didn't leave each other and I watched a tear roll down her left eye down to her face.
"Let me go Nelson" she muttered with great pain and with much emotion, my fingers wrapped around her slowly got looser and I watched her walk out of the room without uttering another word to me.
