Chapter 24

"That was a hell of a day, was it?" Flavio said looking at Anastasia entering the room. "She is strong is a good thing she is on our side". Flavio tap the bed so Anastasia could seat next to him.

Anastasia smiled while coming next to him and sitting down on the bed. "I still feel weird sharing the bed with you". Said Anastasia while sitting on the bed.

"It was a matter of time that this happen, I mean if Melissa wouldn't have said anything I would off" he said playfully while kissing Anastasia's shoulder.

"I don't think I would let you say anything, it doesn't matter if we live here, this is not our house".

"Well, Melissa seems to be with her head on her shoulders this time now, is obvious that she knows we are together, and I don't want to be rude, but she was really selfish many times before. I like this new incarnation of her. You did a really great job finding her this time".

"Yes, you are right. This time she is more cold-headed. She thinks a lot before she acts, it's clear that she wants to end this stupid cycle once and for all". Anastasia said while her gaze was absent. I have located Melissa's doppelganger. I will need to contact her soon".

"How is it being before, you just kidnapped her and bring her here?" Flavio asked knowing that this made Anastasia feel uneasy.

"I've done this so many times that I'm immune now; even though it's still not that easy, when she had the opportunity to kill Melissa before I have to watch her dying, tree times in one day".

Melissa has been reincarnated many times now, and Anastasia has been always there. First trying to help Eve then when she was killed by the human. Anastasia had to carry that painful job with her. Always hoping that someday this vicious cycle ends. But she was certain that this will be the last time. Her heart shrank every time she has to put Melissa trough this. But deep down her heart she was certain that this time will be different.

"I know this time will be different, Melissa has a strong will she knows now exactly what she needs to do. I'm just afraid that this time she will disappear for good. She is so centered on putting an end to all of this that I know that she will have to pay the ultimate price in order to preserve both species". Anastasia didn't want to believe the presentiment that she had but she knew deep down in her heart how changed Melissa was in this incarnation and she knew she was right.

"I just hope that everything goes well, and these two boys are not making it easy for her to make her decisions. They are both jumping to her at every moment and I'm afraid that she will not be able to withstand her feelings any longer".

"Melissa is still young, is normal for her to be on the verge of throwing everything away for love and for the peace of mind of not having to deal with anything". Flavio said flustered. "On one side, she comes to her knowledge that she is not her; then she is attacked. To find out her whole live is erased from her memory. Then she has to choose between two lovers that she barely knows. Even though she could remember that part but like you said this time is different. And in top of that she must deal with the fact that her grandfather is just sucking all her assets away. Good thing that she has decided not to let him get away with that. I hope that Adel can help her".

Anastasia was looking at her wrist thinking about the gash that Melissa had on her wrist. "Adel will help her, at the end of the day that is his duty and his curse".

"You didn't like the fact that he had to suck her blood did you". Flavio asked clenching his teeth, bracing himself for any strike that Anastasia will launch at him. He knew she didn't like anyone near Melissa let alone her blood.

"It had been hard for me to see Melissa's blood every time she dies, but even though I always feel like dismay when I see her lifeless in front of me. The rage consumes me, and I just want to kill everyone". Anastasia's eyes started to glow red on the room dim light.

And to answer your question, no I don't really like the fact that she gave her blood to him.

"You just don't want Melissa near anyone that could hurt her. But I know that at some point she will have to live her life".

"The problem is that Melissa hasn't had the chance of living her life to the fullest, al this year's her life had been cut short. I just hope that she survives this time. And with those two I'm afraid that she will not have the opportunity to set things straight this time".

Anastasia started playing in her mind all the times that she had to see Melissa suffering and dying. I'm just tired of seen my little Mel suffer. She finished and the rage made her tears flow down her cheeks.

"Let's just hope that this time will be different. Flavio stood close to Anastasia and gave her a kiss.

"I'm going to take a shower now" Anastasia said returning the kiss.

Flavio stayed in the bed he has taken a shower already while waiting for Anastasia to come back from attending Melissa. He started thinking about his brother and Blaze, he has also suffered from all this, everyone involved in this situation has suffered and he was getting tired as well as Melissa. "Oh Bladhir"; Flavio though "how much your son has grown since you died. I have been running away from problems and fights, but I know that they day that I will have to fight again is near". Flavio was thinking while staring towards the room ceiling.

Since Flavio had met Anastasia, he has only lived for her, helping her with Melissa incarnations. He can clearly remember the day he found Blaze, it was a day he was hunting he was sneaking behind a large bear, and he was stalking his prey. He heard rustling on a nearby bush and he knew he wasn't alone. He decided to get rid of the intruder even though he didn't like to fight his instincts drove him to confront the one that was also stalking his pray. Flavio stood back in the bushes without moving, his ears were moving every time they picked up the slightness of the sounds, he waited for the sound to come closer, and he pounced once he was certain that he will trap the intruder.

Flavio's attacks were always clever, he knew how powerful he was. Jumping on top the intruder he could clearly see that it was another wolf. To his surprise it was a young wolf. He was in disbelieve because he was certain that there were no other wolfs near him. He never picked a scent or encounter another wolf for that matter. The young wolf grew clawing Flavio's face launching him rolling to the side. Flavio stood up quickly and he also grew, he only knew two wolves capable of doing his before, his father and his brother, but this wolf was young he resembled a little bit of his brother, but he needed to make sure. He needed to make him mad.

Flavio charged again but he was careful not to harm the boy wolf, the young wolf unaware of his plan was pouncing, clawing, and biting Flavio's with force. Flavio decided to grow once more it had him already were he wanted knowing that because of the wolf being so young it had one last evolution if he was who Flavio was thinking of. The young wolf didn't disappoint and started growling and snarling and all his rage concentrated making the young wolf burst in flames. Blaze? Asked Flavio, and the young wolf was startled to hear his name and looked at Flavio in confusion. "Who are you? The young wolf asked with a snarl.

"Let me show you who I am", and he send his memories directly to Blaze's mind, the memories of his brother next to him, playing with him as kids. All the happy memories that Flavio had with his big brother. He showed how much his loved his brother, and Blaze couldn't believe this. Blazed calmed himself going back to his human form and stated crying and sobbing loudly. How do you know my father? Blaze asked between sobs and pain.

"Your father was my brother, I never thought that the day will come that I will have my nephew in front of me. You are your father spitting image".

Flavio stayed on his wolf form walking towards Blaze and sitting in front of him. "Well, I guess no one gets to eat bear tonight". He said with a smile.

"I'm sorry, I had been behind that bear; and for some reason he keeps disappearing on me" Blaze said while scratching his head. Flavio saw him doing this and his mind was filled with vivid scenes of him and his brother.

"Maybe the bear was showing us the way to one another" Flavio said simply. "It has been so long since I have seen my brother, how is he?" He asked

"My father is dead" Blaze said with fury in his eyes.

"What do you mean dead?" Asked Flavio shocked.

Blaze started telling him everything that happened with his father and his grandfather, how Valdevious tricked him into the fight that made him the new leader of the pack. How painful was his first time turning into a wolf. And how he has been by himself since her mother died.

Flavio couldn't believe since the three of them parted ways he never saw his brother or his father ever again. That night he learned that he wasn't the only lonely wolf, but his nephew was suffering the same fate as him.

"I've been looking for someone" Blaze said "I've been catching her scent for quite some time now and between the bear and her scent I got here today". Flavio Looked at Blaze with wary eyes. "You are looking for a she-wolf?" He asked.

"I don't really know if she is she wolf, I just know that I have to be with her, when I get close to her there are so many mixed signals send to my body and my brain that confuse me. I just know I need to find her. I know that as soon as I see her again all my questions and doubts will be answer. Thanks to her I renounced my place as the new alpha, but I need to find out why I did it she is like this lighthouse that I've been searching for".

As the time passed Flavio came to the conclusion that Melissa, was the one he was searching for, and he decided to stay on the edge leaving everything plays and fall in place.

I'll decided to let the fate decided everything was I wrong? He asked still thinking about how everything had happened. And knowing that the day will come, and he had to face his past, he will be always on Melissa's side as well as his nephew's. He always had stayed on the side lines but now he wanted to help a little more. Melissa was doing everything in her power to change thinks for good and his nephew was the rightful alpha.

Well, you don't have complete peace if you don't go to war first. He thought and closed his eyes falling asleep.
