ALEXANDER'S POV
No wonder I had been feeling that someone was watching over me or following us.te moment I entered the club. It turns out it was this witch's doing.
Noticing her creepy gaze at my mate, I asked her what was she doing here, coming and meeting the alpha king uninformed, through my mind link to which she replied smilingly,
"Oh, I am here because I came to know, a very powerful person who shouldn't have been born in the first place was here. I came to pay my respects and check if that person is not having any troubles."Did I mention she didn't even look at me while replying to me? Is she disrespecting the future alpha king because I am not throned yet?
Moreover, her constant gaze on my mate was making me uneasy now, and what this powerful, should not be born person is all about? Is there something I should be worried about?

VICTORIA'S POV"Carla! Carla! Save me! I am on fire! My whole body is burning!" I shouted in my head as I looked at my body that was engulfed in fire."What are you doing?! What am I supposed to do in a situation like this! It's not me who can control your powers. It's you!" Carla shouted back making me wince in pain."Then, who am I supposed to go to look for help?" I asked back."Didn't that old lady told you to keep your emotions in check. Can't you see that you might be on fire, but you are not particularly feeling any pain? Even your clothes are not burning for god's sake!" Carla remarked.Her words made me looked at my clothes. They were on fire, no doubt, but not even a single thread of the cloth was burning for real.Just what kind of magic is this?I have so engrossed in my thoughts that all my previous thoughts of self-depreciation dissolved and the fire around me started to fade eventually.I looked at my
VICTORIA'S POVI don't want to admit it, but seeing her concerned-filled eyes, I felt a bit touched.Sighing loudly, I smirked before saying,"Don't worry baby, I got this." I winked before I pulled my hair right and with a jerk broke a branch from the tree that could be used to beat these guys who were making my night more worse than it already was.As one of the men neared me with that knife in hand, doing the mistake of delaying as the previous man had done, I lifted the stick in the air before wiping it with full force on his hand.As the knife fell from his hand, I turned around before swinging the stick and hitting the second guy to make him drop his dagger that he had taken out from his jacket when I was hitting the first one.I was about to turn around, when I felt a punch to my side, making me stumble on my footing.This made me angry this time. I hated being hit from behind the most.Breaking the log in two,
VICTORIA'S POVBefore I could rejoice in my happiness that Alexander was here and I might have a chance at survival, a thought struck my mind, that made me more scared than I already was."Alexander was just a normal human being. How will he be able to fight off these men alone?" I thought and suddenly remembered the shrill scream filled with the agony that had echoed in the forest just now.Opening my eyes from the bliss that I was feeling, I looked at the man that was holding me in his arms. However, his eyes were not on me. His eyes were trained on the men that were standing there while they looked at Alexander.And wait, is that fear in their eyes, that I am sensing?My eyes then followed on the ground where the man that was about to attack me earlier, was shredded to half.I looked at Alexander in horror. Did he do that?"Oh my god! How much strong is he, to shred a person in two? What is he hiding under that shirt of his?"
VICTORIA'S POVUhhh! I was done with this nagging argument between me and my conscience, about whether I should tell Alexander about my feelings or not.Sitting in the classroom where our biology teacher was busy explaining the anatomy of a human, in which I was least interested, since, I have already studied this material and was well-versed with that, I was thinking about how should I tell Alexander about my feelings for him.Yup, you guys heard that right. I was thinking of proposing to him, for real this time.It has been 3 days since that incident outside the club happened. Though he had never expressed any strong feelings towards me, however, I don't know why, I get this feeling that he also likes me, especially, after the way how he protected me that day.Besides, the fight outside the club that day made me realize, that my life was full of animosity and danger. Who should I fight for?I don't even know if I will get to see
ALEXANDER'S POV'What has gotten inside her brain?' Was the only thing I could think of when she told me not to talk to her.I mean, was she alright? This wasn't how her reaction should be after I saved her life two days back, no?Currently, I was confused because I didn't know why Victoria was giving me a cold shoulder today."You must've done something wrong. You always screw things anyways. Huh!! She is always happy with me, be it in Human form or my wolf form." Thunder commented, making me more annoyed than I already was.Did I mention that I was also feeling super jealous since that fight in front of the club?Let me tell you what happened that day.Once, Miss Azrael told me that there was something wrong with the drinks, I had asked everyone to throw away all the drinks and vomit out the drink, who have drunk it.Though I was giving them instructions, I was having this constant bugging feeling that somethi
VICTORIA'S POVCan you guys guess, what I am doing right now? Eating? Yup, you are right. I was eating. And not only eating, but I was also staring at the people who were sitting in front of me, eating while they boast about having a partner for the prom.Taking a bite from my sandwich, I stared, more like glared, at the girls of our group who were giggling happily, as my annoyance was getting near its peak.Gazing to my left, I noticed Chris moving towards us with his lunch as he laughed with his friends.Isn't he the reason why I am not in good mood, in the first place?"He is," Carla confirmed and thus, smirking widely, I looked back at my food, taking another bite, to act monotonous.Since the only empty seat on the table was beside me, Chris placed his plate on the table beside me and was about to sit, but, as soon as he bent his body to sit, I pulled the chair underneath from him, making him fall with an 'oomph'.Everyon
VICTORIA'S POVIf someone would've asked me to get ready and try on different dresses for the prom to see which dress suited me the best, I would've laughed in their face, if it was the same as before.I was such a lazy bum, and with my powers in the picture, shopping for the dress wasn't something in my 'to-do list' for the day, and that's why when girls asked me to go shopping with them, I denied with a simple no, before ending the call.You guys might've already guessed by now. Today was the so-called prom today.And currently, I was sprawled on my bed with all kinds of snacks I could find in my house, as I have a very important task to do today, that is, to look out for the best way to propose Alexander.Thinking about Alexander, the way he hugged me yesterday, was still making me feel warm inside my heart.Closing my eyes, while laying down flat on my stomach, I thought about him. How nice would it feel to be in his arms? Th
After locking the house, I sat in Alexander's Mercedes and it wasn't long before we were standing in front of our university.Taking my hand in his, he leads me towards the gate where our friends were waiting at the entrance of the gates that would lead to the celebration night."Wow! Who is this lady in front of us? No wonder, you said you don't want to go shopping. Who would've known you had such pretty dress in your hands." Tina said before whistling which made me a bit shy."You look beautiful Victoria." Daniel suddenly said with a soft smile on his face.I looked towards him thankfully as I noticed his partner looking at me with a weird expression.'Geez! I am not here to steal your partner, so be rest assured. I already have my man by my side.' I wanted to say to her."Let's go. Yeah?" Alexander suddenly cooed in my ears, his voice a bit deeper than earlier, as I felt like he was suppressing some emotion inside.Shrugg
ALEXANDER'S POV "Alpha Alex, few people are here from Blood moon pack. They are saying something about the alpha inviting you to their wedding ceremony." Sean said from out of my room. "Ask them to wait in my office. I'll be there in some time." I ordered before looking at the photo frame that had a photo of me kissing Victoria at my crowning ceremony. It's been six months since that incident.We didn't find her. Everyone said that the girl that Azrael brought out from the river was Victoria, but my heart still not believes it. She can't be dead. I know it. I can feel it. However, at the back of my mind, the thought that I might've lost her is always present. That day, after searching for her for 28 hours when my body was exhausted completely, I returned to the mansion, not before strictly ordering the guards to check every part of the whole course of the river as well as th
ALEXANDER'S POVI looked at Azrael shocked for a second before I looked back at my father."How did you know I wanted you to call her?" I asked him, and he looked at me back with an equally confused gaze."He didn't call me. I came back on my own. Where is my goddaughter, Victoria." Azrael asked, her voice holding a strange power."She...I don't know that. I thought she would be in the mansion, but when I came here, I found didn't find her. I was going to find her now before you showed up." I said, standing straight."She...did she...I felt like she changed. Is that true? Did she changed into her wolf form?" She asked, a bit fidgety with a hint of urgency clear in her eyes."She did. She changed into the legendary wolf. Did you know that she wasn't a lantern? That she was the reincarnation of Carla?"
VICTORIA'S POVLying on the floor bed of the forest as blood oozed out of me, I wondered if this was how I was going to die.If this was my twisted fate.All my life I yearned for the love and care of everyone and in the end, I was tricked again. I was tricked out of it again.Looking at the end of the cliff that was still around a kilometer away from me, I gasped to contain the pain before crawling with my body that had started to shut down.'Victoria stop! Let us help you! We can still go through this togetherness!' Carla screamed, however, I was too hurt by what she did to care about anything anymore.______15 minutes ago______'Now coming to the sacrifice part. I am still not sure what I want to sacrifice.' I said in my mind, knowing that they were hearing me pretty well.'Victoria-' Joy started, but I stopped her mid-sentence, shaking my head because I didn't even want to face her after what Carla conspired again
ALEXANDER'S POV'Are you sure that this was the right decision?' I asked hunter for the umpteenth time.'I don't know, okay? I have heard about this spell but have never seen anyone doing it. From what I know, only one of the strongest witches can perform this spell. And if what I am thinking now is right, then Victoria indeed will be sacrificed if we don't bring that heirloom back.' Hunter replied.'That's not what I wanted to ask. What I wanted to ask is, are you sure that it's Victoria on whom that spell is performed?' I asked, making him stop dead in his tracks.However, before he could reply to me, we suddenly felt a sudden pang in our body, making us hit the nearby tree.'What is this all about?' I thought as another thing hit us.As we stood after the hit, I noticed three almost invisible shadows floating in the air, trying to hit us, out of the corner of my eyes.However, before they could hit us this time, hunter saw them right
VICTORIA'S POV'There is nothing like that, Victoria. You are just thinking too much into things.' Carla calmed me, however, the possibility of my presumption being true was scaring me deeply."Make yourself clear nasty witch! What is this sacrifice spell all about." Carla asked, her eyes glowing like a cold flame."Well, it's very simple. I initiated the spell around half an hour ago when Alexander was fighting with me. All I needed to do was put those chanted herbs containing the blood of an evil soul into Alexander's blood to start the spell. I had already planned all of this because I knew this was the easiest way to let Victoria come with me without hustling around." Patrick said while looking at us with a smirk."This can't be it. Since it's a sacrifice spell, there has to be a sacrifice to save Alexander, right? Tell me or I'll kill you even before you think about trading Victoria." Carla warned again, plunging her hand in his chest and holding his
VICTORIA'S POV'Hey! Do you even know where you are running off to?' I couldn't help but ask for the umpteenth time.'Of course, I know. I can... I mean your witch powers can smell another witch from miles. And I am gonna use them to locate that dirty witch who has my mate.' Carla replied.'It's our mate.' I said, annoyed before sitting back leisurely.Now I know how bad Carla must've felt all this time when she had to live inside me without coming out. It feels like I am watching a movie where someone else is controlling my body, and I am just a side character.'It won't take long. Don't worry, I am not planning to take over your body completely. You still have those witch powers that stop me whenever I try to take control. Luckily you used your energy when healing Rosaline, and that's the sole reason why they allowed me to take over the body. However, it won't be the case for long.' Carla mumbled at the end, confusing me a bit.Howev
VICTORIA'S POV"How is this possible?" Robert asked while he fell from the intensity of Carla's growl.I turned around and looked at Theodore and others, who were in no better position."I.." Carla started, looking straight ahead at the people who were still fighting.Her voice held so much power that all the wolves, be it, pack mates or rogues, stopped to look at her."I...Carla Victoria Gibberson, the queen of the mansion, the werewolf species, the descendant of the moon goddess, and the daughter of the Ava, orders everyone present here and in the peripheral of 40 km to stop this war and bloodshed immediately." Carla roared, her voice followed by a thunderous sound in the sky.Her strong and powerful voice made me shudder even when I knew she was a part of me."Bow down to the queen!" She growled again, and to my utmost horror, everyone present on the ground immediately fell to their knees with their head bowed to us.
ALEXANDER'S POV'Hunter, can you feel where he went?' I asked through my mind link while following the scent of that nasty witch who had been helping Robert in his destruction plan.'I am not sure. He isn't leaving any traces. Let's go in the north direction first.' Hunter replied, making me run in the north direction.However, before I could run even a km, I was pushed back to the ground by a large force.Looks like the coward has finally decided to show his face."I don't get what you are running for. You and your species call yourself strong creatures, but when it comes to a one-on-one fight, you do nothing but run with your tail between your legs like a pussy you guys are." I shouted, trying to excite the witch."Who is running from you, dog? What can you do with your weakened body anyways? What I am trying to do is buy myself some time so that I can do what I want." Patrick smirked, his body floating in the air."Haha... You call y
VICTORIA'S POV"Rosaline! Go back inside!" Theodore said as he rushed towards her."Stop where you are, or I'll slit my throat!" Rosaline threatened, her eyes fixated on Robert.Robert, who was still hugging me, became so stiff that it felt like I was hugging a stone rather than a person.It wasn't long before I felt him trembling under me as he gripped my elbows to stabilize himself.It was a good sign, I guess. His resolution was breaking. I knew what he was feeling right now, and I think this was the only way left we can use to bring the humanity in him back.Turning around, I looked at Rosaline and nodded at her slightly to continue what she was doing."Is this what you want, Robby?" Rosaline repeated her question before making another cut on her arm.Her legs swayed as she stepped forward, and she had to take the support of a wall to keep standing.I wanted to help her, but I knew, the more pitiful she would look,
