Chapter 5: Identity Unveiled

~ Melissa’s POV ~

“Neil”, My eyes lit up as a strong hand embraced me from behind, I nuzzled closer feeling his hot breath on my neck.

“Did you miss me that much, wifey”, He questioned, a slow laugh emanating from his throat. I turned facing him, the heat seeping through the mate bond had me gulped down swallowing the saliva in my throat.

“Speak, my love”, He leaned in closer, whispering in my ears licking my soft earlobe and I gasped, a low moan emanating from my throat as I entangled my hand in his hair.

“Cat got your tongue, Isabelle”, He teased, a wide smirk evident on his face fondling my breast and pinching my already hardened nipples through the thin flowering patterned gown I was putting on.

“Did you want me to stop?, Hun sweetie”, He whispered those sweet words into my ears, a blush crept into my face as we locked eyes. I shut my eyes tight reliving the moment clouded with desire.

“Please, Neil”,

“Say the words, Isabelle”, He muttered against my ears, his amber eyes squinting in a playful manner and his thin lips displaying a wide grin.

“I want you”, I said, shutting my eyes tight digging my claws onto his shoulder while clashing my lips against his.

“Not so fast wifey, payback. What’s for breakfast”, He asked, a playful smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.

“You’re so cruel, I told you I was tired yesterday night and you intentionally did this”, I clenched my fist, slapping him hard on his chest, he winced out groaning in pain and I felt my heartbeat quickened darting to him.

“Are you okay?, Did I hit you so hard?, I am sorry, Please. Does it hurt so much”, My voice broke seeing him clutching his chest and he glanced, a wide smile plastered on his face.

“I hate you, I fucking hate you”, I yelled, wanting to smack him hard but my hand froze in the mid-air and I could only let out a low breath, heaving in relief .

“Did you see that right now?, you are so easy to be fooled”, He laughed out and I rolled my eyes.


“Who are they?”, Those memories of their living moments kept rushing in my head, watching them act all lovey dovey, their small banters, they looked so cute together.

“Why does it feel like I am reliving my memories”,

“Is this one of my fantasied dreams?, does the supernatural world really exists”, I thought asking no one staring a the scene unfolding in my eyes as the couples nuzzled and rubbed on each other in their wolves form, the guy in a dark big black wolf and the lady in a gray which have a black patch on the muzzle.

“I am pregnant”, I stood there watching the Alpha almost brought to tears showering her with kisses.

“Neil”, The woman called out.

“At your beck and call, your highness”, I watched as the Alpha run errands for his pregnant wife who got angry at the slightest thing.

“Please be fine, you would be fine”, The Alpha who was pacing in front of the labor room in distress, the woman screaming in the labor room. I stood there watching as the scene unfolds.

“Run, Luna! Run, they’re coming for her!”

“What do you mean?”

“She’s… cursed. They’re talking about… killing her. I heard them,” she stuttered, the midwife stuttered.

“No,” what the hell is going on here, I watched as the woman reached the edge of a cliff calling out to the Alpha not to take her baby away but her pleas fell on deaf ears.

Tears trickled down my face watching her struggle to keep the daughter alive but she jumped off the cliff.

“Those endless nightmares, the red eyes pursuing me till I jumped off the cliff”, I shook my head, panting heavily. I looked over at the edge of the cliff sobbing silently.

“Why did they want to take away the baby?”,

“Why did the memories kept unfolding in my head?”, My mind went numb and everything went blank.

“Wake up, Lisa”, I awoke to a strange voice, turning back and forth. The darkness creeping into my bones making me shiver.

“Who are you?”, I asked, I was enveloped in darkness, everything was silent and I could only hear the soft panting and my chest rising in a rhythm.

“Your biological mother”, The voice blurted.

“What in the hell?”

“Did you feel your connections to everything, you were the little baby I was protecting back then”,

“No way”, I screamed refusing to believe it.

“Why the hell are you in my head?”,

“I was reborn in you, we are one”, The voice rang in my ears.

“Is this some sort of trick, am I hallucinating right now?”, My head tinged in pains and I jolted upright.

“You are awake”, Aiden asked beside me, his hands pressed firmly on mine.

“Where am I?,” I questioned, listening to the soft chirping of owls.

“Off-edge campus,” He replied.

“It’s nighttime already”, I asked, sitting up from the king-size bed.

“Lend me your phone, I need to place a call right now,” I blurted out shuddering away in fear, the dream felt so real. It must have been all those my fantasy dreams or my nightmares.

“Wait, wait. I looks so much like the woman so much like mine—her nose, her eyes, her eyebrows.” The voice on the other line interrupted my thoughts pulling me back from my trance.

“Mom”, I cried out in a low breathy voice.

“Lisa, where are you baby. I have been trying to reach you but you weren’t picking up. It’s late already, where are you?”, She questioned, her voice shaky. I heard her heaving a sigh of relief.

“I will be back home soon and I want to tell you something. Don’t worry too much, I will be back home soon”, I said, cutting the calls afterwards. I refused to believe she wasn’t the one that birth me, that’s unbelievable. I just can’t, I muttered in my head shaking my head frivolously.

“You have to believe it, Melissa. I am your mother, the Moon Goddess granted me a wish by keeping you safe but I don’t know why she held my soul in your body, I have been lying dormant in you since you were adopted. I have tried reaching out to you but it was silent, I watched you grow, I was in you in every phase of your life and I am really grateful for that. Your mate marking triggered our bond, that’s the only reasonable explanation I could come up with”, Her voice trailed off in my head and I wiped the tears that brimmed in my eyelid.

“What’s this feeling, why am I feeling this?”, The thoughts lingered in my mind.

“Ask your Mom, she would surely have answers”, The voice chimed in and I groaned.

“Can you shut it, you are making up things in my head”,

“I am not and you have to ask your Mom about it”, She chirped in again.

“Have you ever asked her how you got the birthmark on your left shoulder?, did she ever tell you were not blind from birth, I gave birth to you and you weren’t blind”, She explained, and my heart skipped a beat.

“I wasn’t born blind?, How?, What happened?”,

“Those questions, I don’t have answers to it and together we can look for answers”, Her voice chirped in my ears and I hissed in annoyance.

“I don’t need to, I am fine”, I blurted out.

“Ask your Mom, Lisa”, She instructed, a vision struck me as I sat across my Mom.

“You are right, I am not the one that gave birth to you”, My Mom muttered in my vision, I screamed out panting softly.

“This can’t be, I need to go home right now”, I yelled to Aiden who looked quite shocked at my outburst.
