VICTORIA'S POV
"What the hell is this? Is this what you guys eat?!" I exclaimed, remembering the incident from the club when Alexander had made the manager throw all the drinks out.
"What is it that offended our lady queen?" Alexander scoffed, ready to take a bite from his food, however, his hand was stopped by Laila,
"Wait, Alexander, I don't think I can eat here in so much commotion. Can we eat in my room or your room?" Laila asked, placing her hand on his biceps seductively.
You've got to be kidding me!
"Why? Why can't you eat here in so much commotion?" I asked before kicking the chair away.
"Or, is it that you specifically don't want to eat this food that is poisoned?" I asked, gazing straight into her eyes, and the flicker of emotions that passed through her eyes didn't go unnoticed by me.
"Miss Victoria, I know you have a feud with miss Laila, but you can't question my loyalty to the palace like this. I have been working for hi
VICTORIA'S POV"Victoria Gibberson, is this the way you talk to your king?" The so-called Alexander shouted."Oh, you are right. This is not the way to talk to a king." I said, smirking when I saw his relaxed expression."-However, you are not the king here." With that, I groped his neck, placing my hands around his neck, and applied pressure to it."Now, you better spill the beans because patience is not my best trait," I said before dragging him all the way to the center of the room."I don't know what you are talking about. Guards! What are you doing? Will you let this psychotic woman kill your king?" He said, looking at the palace guards, who looked confused, not knowing what to do.As they started moving towards me in their confused state, I looked at Theodore, who immediately understood my signal and ordered the guards,"You do not move from your place. Stay put where you are standing. This is your former king's and council head's
DANIEL'S POVI was shocked. Not because of the revealing of such unpredictable truths, but because of the cold person that Victoria has turned into.Even my wolf was becoming edgy, looking at her as he was growling and clawing at me to take control so that he can take her away from here and calm her down.She looked nothing like the girl I love, rather she was looking like an incarnation of the devil, who was out there hunting souls.Her amber-hazel-colored eyes had turned completely orchard-yellow as she looked at Alexander and Katie sinisterly. And to be honest, I was too scared to say anything to her anymore.When I entered earlier with Katie by my side, I had witnessed the horrifying scene of Victoria punching Alexander and then plunging that knife in Laila's body, and couldn't help but feel my insides wrenching when I saw the cold smile that she smiled even after doing something so sinister.And from the look that she was throwing K
VICTORIA'S POV"Katie, the alpha of Blue moon pack? But how can this be possible? She has lived with us all her life and had grown with us. If she would've been an alpha, then we would've known about it." Daniel interjected."Yeah? Then I think I got some facts wrong." I smiled before clapping my hands twice.Everyone looked at me quizzically before their gaze shifted to the new members that entered the hall."Well, look what we have here," I said as Chris brought a rope tied Angela in."Let me introduce you to the real alpha of Blue moon pack, Miss Angela Blue," I smirked, pulling her from Chris's grip and pulling out the gag from her mouth."Victoria, you bitch! I won't spare you for this. Robert will surely kill you all today." Angela said before laughing aloud."We will see, what Robert will do with us, how about you tell all of us why you did all those things before we deal with you, and that lousy Robert?" I couldn't help but sm
ALEXANDER'S POVOpening my eyes, I looked around myself and couldn't help but wince when I felt my hands burning. Gazing down at my foot, I noticed, I was tied to chains laced with the copper-silver combination.'Where the hell I am? And why have I been bound like this? Who dared to bind me?' I thought, my head filled with nothing but the images of water everywhere.Water. Yes. That's exactly what I have been dreaming of for soo long. But, why would that happen?All I remember is coming back to the mansion, meeting my father and the council members, then going inside the dining hall to eat something. But something was unusual about the food. It tasted different, and there was someone else besides me. Who was it?'Uhhh...why can't I remember!' I shouted in my mind as I felt the absence of Hunter.Someone has poisoned me. But who?Looking around myself, I winced at the chains one more time before applying some energy t
VICTORIA'S POV"Wait, what? You are kidding me, right? What in the world are you talking about? No, let me finish." I said when I noticed him trying to add something."Look, if you think this is some joking time, then it's not. If you haven't figured it out yet, then let me tell you, we are in the middle of a war, and seeing how you don't react to these half-humans and half wolves, I am assuming that you know all about them. How about we catch up a bit later? I have a king to protect on my bucket list right now." I blabbered, not knowing where it was coming from."Victoria, my darling, my savior, you haven't changed a bit. Still as sunny and funny as ever. I remember the day when I had told you that for saving my life, I'll make you a queen. Don't you remember?" Robert said, making me go in a flashback of memories.It was the time of autumn when I had come here for the second and the last time. Since the incidence o
VICTORIA'S POV"Robert, you love me? Are you sure about that? What you feel towards me is not love, it's an obsession. Love is not about getting what you want. It's not about snatching the person you love from someone else and keeping her by your side. Love is a spiritual, blissful, and pure feeling. When you love someone, you find happiness in what that person loves.If you would've loved me, then you wouldn't have tried to snatch me away from Alexander. You would've come to me, talk to me, and tell me about your feelings first before you thought of harming everyone.You said you love me? Then what this destruction is for? You loved your family too, didn't you? So where is your love now? How can you hurt them just like this?" I asked, trying to incite the good in him and stop this bloodshed."How can I hurt them? You are asking me that Victoria? Have you forgotten, it was you who had told me to take revenge. It was you who had told me to pay them with te
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,
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
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.
