Alpha Eric's POVI walked back to Victoria's room and met her chatting happily with nurse Agnes. I stood by the door and worried about what her reaction would be when she found out I had a baby with someone else.“Is everything okay?” she asked when she noticed I was silent.“Yeah.” I replied quickly and flickered her a big smile before leaving the door.“The doctor said you can go home tomorrow,” I announced.“Really,” she exclaimed happily.“Yeah, so get your things ready.''“This is good news, I can finally get to see my aunt.” She yelled, excited. Her words inflicted a sharp pain in my heart, and I wondered how to break such news to her.I watched her talking happily to nurse Agnes about the things she was going to do once she gets back to California and how she was going to spend a lot of time with her aunt. Seeing her this happy about wanting to see her aunt, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I had to come up with an excuse to leave.“I have to sort out some things, I'll be right
Victoria's POVI sighed and sat on the bed.Things were becoming more complicated by the day. I knew Eric was hiding something from me, and I was curious to know what he was keeping away from me.I sat back on the bed, struggling to remember any of my lost memory, but nothing was coming forth.I noticed the door open and Eric walked in with a pale face. He sat on the couch while his gaze was away from me. “I know you have many questions to ask, but I can't tell you, at least not now.” he murmured those words to himself, but I knew he was talking to me. “I promise to tell you everything when we get back to California, but right now, I can't risk your health for anything.” he spoke in a serious tone and stood to his feet.He walked up to me and stood before me with his piercing gaze on me, “I'll come pick you up tomorrow, have a nice day.” He placed a kiss on my forehead and left the room.I sighed softly and lay back on the bed with his words ringing in my head. Maybe I just have to be
Victoria's POVHis green eyes were dull and confused, as he stared at me with a questioning look. Quickly, I stood up from the floor and swallowed nervously.He slowly sat on the bed and roughly arranged his hair with his both hands before moving his gaze towards me.“Why are you here?” he asked.I bite my lips nervously and did not know what to say to him because I couldn't tell him I was missing him, that's why I came to see him.“Are you hungry?'' he asked.“No, I just ate.” I managed to respond.He nodded his head and checked the clock by the bed stand, “It's almost 11 am, I must have slept for a long time, I have somewhere to go.” he grumbled tiredly, removed the blankets from his body and left the bed.“Shit.” he muttered out shocked, and went for the blanket, but it was too late because I had already seen what he was hiding.Quickly, I turned my back to him as I felt my cheek light up in red colors. I just saw Eric totally naked, and I couldn't help but blush.“I'm sorry, I for
Victoria's POVSlowly, I opened my eyes at the noise of the continuous tapping of a keyboard pad. With a soft groan, I moved my gaze around the big room and saw Eric by the reading table, seriously occupied with paperwork.I stared at him one more time and realized his thick black hair was messy all over his face and his green piercing eyes were fixed on the screen of his computer.He stopped typing and moved his gaze to me. “You are awake.” he stood up from the chair and walked over to me.“How is your hand?” he asked.“I'm fine, I don't feel any pain.” I replied quickly, so I could avoid going to the hospital. He took a good look at me for a while and nodded his head to my words.“Glad you are awake, the doctor will be here, any moment from now.”“Doctor,” I murmured.“Yes, he has to run some check up on you.'' He said and ran his fingers through my hair while giving me a mischievous smile.''I don't want to get tested, I told you I'm okay.” I grumbled. “Yes, you are fine, but we ju
Alpha Eric's POVIt was already eight hours gone and Victoria had already fallen asleep.I stood to my feet, walked up to her and easily carried her in my arms. I took her to the bedroom and slowly lay her on the bed, but she gradually opened her eyes.“Sorry, I just wanted you to sleep properly.” I said and moved away from her before she got a bad impression about it.With questioning eyes, she moved her gaze around the room for a while before she sat on the bed.“Are you hungry?'' I asked.“No.” she replied and lay back on the bed with her gaze fixed on me.“What is it.” I asked,“Nothing.” she murmured.I walked up to her, sat on the bed and ran my fingers through her hair, “What's it?” I asked again.She kept quiet for a while, contemplating if she should say what she wanted to say. “Can you lie with me, it's a bit cold” she whispered almost to herself.“Is that all,” I asked, with raised eyebrows. ''Yes.'' She nodded her head and shyly looked away. I took off my shoes and lay on
Victoria's POVI was awoken by a loud alarm from the table beside the bed. Slowly, I stood up from the bed, took off my clothes and stepped into the shower.I took a quick bath, came back to the room, put on simple wear before leaving the room.I went downstairs, passed the sitting room and made my way to the kitchen. I was almost in the kitchen when I caught sight of a lady who was in her late thirties coming out from one of the rooms.“Good morning.'' she greeted me with a smile.“Good morning ma'am.” I greeted her, not knowing who she was. “Call me Grace, I'm the housekeeper here.” she introduced herself with a big smile.“Nice to meet you, I'm Victoria.”“I know, do you need anything?” She asked in a friendly manner.“Not really, I'm just walking around.” I responded.“Very well, then, tell me if you need anything.” She flashed a friendly smile before leaving.I went into the kitchen, took out a bottle of water, drank a little before leaving the kitchen.I was about to go back to
Victoria's POVWe all left the hospital and stood at the parking lot.“Thanks for coming.” Eric and I said our goodbyes to both Sonia and Kelvin before they left.Eric and I entered his car and he drove off.A few minutes into the drive, I decided to speak my mind, “Why do you stop people from telling me things about my past?” I asked with my gaze fixed on him.“I don't get you.”“Stop acting like you don't know what I'm talking about, you always stop people from telling me things about my past. What are you hiding.'' this time I asked in a more serious tone.“I'm not hiding anything from you, I just don't want you to stress yourself, the doctor advised you to remember things freely on your own will…” I did not let him finish his words before I cut in. “What are you hiding from me, what's the secret you are hiding.” I asked again, and this time my gaze was fixed on him, but his gaze was fixed on the road.“Eric.” I called out his name when I noticed he wasn't saying a thing. “I'm not
Alpha Eric's POVI stood there as I struggled to catch my breath. Jackson might not know how to control his abilities, but his visions were always right and accurate. “Alpha.” He called out to me, when he noticed I wasn't saying a word.“It's okay, you should get some rest. I'll bring a friend of mine who will help give you some guidance. Just go in and rest.” I patted him on the shoulder with a weak smile. I'm an alpha, it's not proper to show weakness in front of my followers.Jackson flashed me an assuring smile and left me alone in the garden.The moment he left, I quickly took my phone from my pocket and dialed father's line. In a few minutes, it was picked.“You finally called.” he spoke in a low, deep voice, almost like a sleepy voice.“Are you alright, dad.” I asked as I felt my heart thump in fear.I heard movement over the phone for a while before he responded, “I've been sick for two days now.'' his words were cut off by a severe cough. “Have you gone to the hospital, shou
