Chapter 21

Melissa ran towards him, like a beast ran hunting its prey. He found her red glowing eyes running desperate getting close. It felt like she wanted him so badly, Adel could feel her desperation while she was approaching him and the more that she got closer, the more that he felt he was drawing to her. They were meant to be together.

He also knew that this was not Melissa, her twisted face was a compost between lust and rage which made her beautiful face come across as distorted.

Adel knew that if she got closer to her in this state, he would not stand a chance. So, he decided not to face her head on but to talk some sense into her. She screamed while balancing towards him and dodge her attack disappearing into thin smoke.

"Who are you?" asked Adel while materializing across from her. What have you done with my Mel?

Melissa cocked her head towards one side as she heard him calling her with such closeness. She glared at him suddenly changing the rage, composing herself and walking slowly and sensually in his direction. "What do you mean Adel, it's me your love, your Melissa, don't you recognize me?" Melissa asked and Adel's body tremble with her voice, she was talking to him as she used to. That sensual voice that always invited him to devour her completely. He knew that this wasn't the real Melissa, this Melissa had rejected him, no giving him permission to even share her lips with him.

"I know what you are trying to pull, you are not Melissa. The real one never will talk to me in that tone. You just want to trap me in your web so you can give me the final blow". "To my body and into my heart" Adel though with sadness.

"What are you saying?" Melissa vampire form asked, getting closer and closer to him, "I love you Adel, you are the one for me, we belong together. Isn't that what you want? I know this is what you want, you want me, me whole being, my body, my love".

Melissa's words were like honey, so sweet and thick that he couldn't break free from them. She was so close to him now, caressing his cheeks. Her voice was so subtle that he was falling deeper and deeper into them. Melissa was too beautiful to resist Adel's' whole body was trembling in desire how long was he waiting for this moment. How many decades has passed since her have spoken to him this way? Her whole presence was so intoxicatingly softly that he wanted to get drunk until passing out from her love.

Her glowing eyes where deep fix into his. Her touch made his whole body stiff, his hands were aching to touch her, to feel her under his. How much she will make him suffer like this? Her mouth was so close yet so far from his. That wasn't Melissa standing in front of him right now. He knew that she was fighting internally with herself. The real Melissa, the wolf, the vampire, and the hybrid.

Grabbing him with both hands around his face; her thumbs were into his chin and the rest of her fingers wrapping around his neck, she pulled him towards her, he could feel her sweet warm breath on his face closing the gap between their lips. While her claws were sinking deep inside him. "I love you" she said, and tears began to roll down her cheeks.

Adel snapped out of the trance in which Melissa had him. Dissolving again between her grasps. "You imbecile" Melissa snapped, "didn't you said you loved me?" This was Melissa's wolf speaking.

"I do, but that doesn't give you the right to kill me". Said Adel a smile transformed his stern face. "You have to snap out of it Melissa, controlled them and reign over them, let the real Melissa surface. The sweet and decisive Melissa, the Melissa I love".

"You really think I will let her govern over me? she will die. I will kill her. Said they vampire. Melissa was battling in an internal fight. Her wolf, her vampire and her hybrid form were brawling to possess her internally. Her struggle felt like she was walking barefoot through hell.

"But first we must kill him", the wolf spoke. She sprinted towards him while he disappeared again, she sprinted once again and he disappear, the last time he disappeared, she swoosh like shadow running towards the other side and just as he appeared again she grabbed him by the neck, "I have learn your scaping pattern and now you can't get away from me". Biting him on the trapezius sending him flying and rolling on the floor, Adel screamed in pain.

Melissa's eyes widened in horror, she has just bit Adel and her heart was struck in pain and desperation. Adel was not moving, and Melissa started scratching her body multiple times. Get out!!! Melissa screamed while blood was flowing from the scratches and heling at an incredibly pace. "Look what you've done".

"He is going to die", the hybrid said, by now she had almost taken control over Melissa's body, "I'm the one reigning over this body". Melissa's eyes were filled with rage. Extending her claws, she sunk them deeply into her heart. "What are you doing? asked the hybrid.

"You really think I will let you win? Melissa said to herself, "I'm not going to let you kill him. If he goes, we go down with him" Melissa's hand was closing into a fist on her heart, squashing it slowly as she felt the live drifting out of her. "If I rip my heart apart from my body no one will survive. I'm tired of you all trying to control me, this is my body, this is my being, if you like to keep living inside me you better listen to what I'm saying if not we all dye".

"No, no don't do it" the three of them were pleading for their lives. "From now on, this is how is going to be" Melissa said. "Yes, yes, please don't kill us, we will do as you wish" said the tree of them in a submissive voice. Melissa stood yanking her bloody hand out her chest, running towards Adel.

"Don't die on me" Melissa said while sobbing, I'm sorry...

"The hybrid bite is lethal for vampires" said the hybrid to Melissa.

"How do I save him? Asked Melissa in desperation.

"You must give him your blood". Responded the hybrid.

Melissa without hesitation slashed her wrist in one go. "This is the fastest blood access after the neck" she though. Blood was pouring from Melissa's wrist, she crouched next to Adel his skin was turning purple, the hybrid venom was potent, and its blood was the cure. Resting Adel's head against her chest she opened his mouth and put her wrist in it placing a soft kiss in his forehead while her blood was flowing into Adel's body.

Adel opened his eyes he had never tasted Melissa's blood before he grabbed Melissa's wrist sucking intently into it. Melissa felt dizzy his blood lust was never satisfied with any animal he had killed, the blood that fulfill him the most was human blood. But now he was tasting the glory and the most delicious heaven in Melissa's blood. It felt like a drug running deeply into his mouth. He could savor it whole, and this gave him a sense of completion that he never felt before. "You can suck me dry if you want to, I'm all yours".

Being in this trance he wasn't sure if she had said those words, or he has imagined them. Coming back to his senses he realized what was happening. His fangs were sunk into Melissa's wrist, retracting them at once while jerking his body backwards with a jolt. Melissa smiled, this was the sweetest smile she has ever given to him and feel forward on his chest.

"Melissa what have you done?" He asked while his face was wet with tears looking her in this state; trying to make sense of what had happened. Sitting down and holding her so now she was resting on him. "Don't passed out on me now", he ripped the sleeve of his shirt and wrap it around Melisa's wrist to stop the bleeding. "Why did you do this? I'm not worthy of you saving me".

Melissa eyes were open looking at him, "I'm sorry I couldn't let you die. I'm sorry for attacking you, and I'm sorry for trying to seduce you". She started crying again.

"I know that was not you" Adel told her while she was whipping and sobbing desperately.

"It's ok Melissa. You saved me even though I'm not worthy of your compassion".

"What are you talking about? Melissa said while holding his face with her hand". "I can't kill you. Nonetheless let you die. You are supposed to protect me, I need you Adel. I always want you near me, without permission, without restrictions pulling him closer to her face. This is me; the real Melissa and I want you with me". She pulled him completely towards her face; their mouth touching on a sublime kiss, she opened her mouth granting access to his tongue; which entered happily dancing around her mouth with force and determination. He has longed for this moment for so long that he couldn't believe it. This was a new kind of heaven for him, this was like a dream, and he didn't want to wake up. She kissed him intently, and he wanted to eat her up in this kissed. Their breaths felt uneven, this was the cue for him to break the kiss. Melissa felt like passing out. She saw him, and her face was flustered. She was panting, his eyes were looking at her and she couldn't decipher his emotions.

She felt embarrassed covering her mouth while completely sitting on the floor making him sitting back as well. He was still looking at her without saying a word.

"Say something dammit!" Melissa snapped while looking down at her cover wrist she couldn't believe what happened.

He smiled at her with patience, a wide smile ran on his face. "What do you want me to say, you have completely caught me out guard. First you attack me, then you seduce me. Next you attacked me almost killing me. You brought me back to life with your blood and now you wanted to devour me with your mouth like there was no tomorrow".

"Yeah, that is an accurate summary of what happened huh? Melissa said while smiling. Her embarrassment palpable. "I didn't know what to do, I was internally fighting, and I attacked you and" … Her voice trailing, Flavio and Annie!!! I think I killed them. She stood up fast and this made her loose her balance.

Adel stood up quickly catching her to avoid her fall, "easy there" he said. Grabbing her by her waist making theme closer again, "they are ok, I communicate with Anastasia, and I told her that I was with you". How did you?... Melissa asked… Telepathy? She said as he assented.

"Can I try something?" he asked in his velvety voice caressing a strand Melissa's hair and tucking it behind her ear. She nodded her head as he pulled her closer to his face giving her a sweet kiss on her lips. "Now I can reach you and kiss you whenever I want" Adel said with a wicked smirk on his face.

"The fact that I was desperate for you to survive doesn't give you the power to touch me or kissing me whenever you like". Melissa said pulling away from his grasp. Let's check on Flavio and Annie. She started walking towards the house.

"So", Adel asked her, "how do you feel" following behind Melissa.

"I feel fine I guess" said Melissa, "I tried to control the transformation, but it seems that I went too far". Melissa though deep inside her that maybe this was a bad idea. "I don't think I can control it just yet. I don't know how to appease them".

"You don't have to appease them you have to overpower them". His voice reassuring.

"That sounds easy, if you say it like that; but there are three monsters lurking inside me. How I'm I supposed to do that its only one me? Melissa asked in doubt.

"You are living with those three monsters inside you since you were conceived, they haven't destroyed you by now. It seems that they can't do it. Because they all need you to complement each other. You are their vessel but is not like they can reincarnate with you alive. It almost sounds like they can't kill you either".

Adel's words were comforting, if it was it true that they couldn't killed her then that will facilitate for her to control them. She just had to show them who was in charge.

They got to the house and Anastasia and Flavio were sitting in the garden porch. Melissa saw them and ran towards them crying in desperation. "Forgive me Annie… Flavio. I though it will work". They both received her with open arm. "Don't worry Mel said Flavio while returning her embrace.

"I think that it did", Anastasia said while looking at Melissa's wrist. "Let's go inside to treat this wound. You need a shower, and we all need some rest".
