Victoria's pov
It was the next day and I found myself going to the diner. My dream from last night kept playing in my head and I didn't have the strength to be around him today. My mind was too jumbled and confused.
I wasn't gonna live in denial telling myself that I don't feel anything for him. I'm old enough to understand my own feelings. What I'm messed up about is how I'm gonna move on with these new feelings. I know I haven't had feelings like this since Jonah, but as much I'm a bit excited, I'm also scared.
If he doesn't feel the same way I will understand, I'm not 12. But if he does, would I be willing to act on these feelings? I mean, he lives two hours into the woods and I have a life in town.
He's also full of secrets and I don't know if I could live lik
Victoria's pov We were on our way back and I haven't uttered a word. After Caleb portrayed his possessiveness towards Ashley, I got out of his way and he 'accepted' her. However, he didn't say anything else. He just walked to the car and we followed in suit. Ashley looked nervous and confused, and if I was being truthful, so was I. I'm nervous for her, because even though I don't know anything about this mate thing, I would've expected a little more reaction from him. Also, I just found out that these people are werewolves! I've been living with wolves. What a story. Caleb doesn't know that I know, because I want to confront all of them about it. He did seem confused as to why I hadn't questioned him about Ashley though, but he seemed too deep in thought to questi
Luka's pov "I'll come back and talk tomorrow," She had said. Except, she didn't. It has been four days and there was still no sign of Victoria. When I called her, she always said that something came up and she'll come the next day, or she didn't answer at all. It was getting old. I couldn't help but feel like a scene was replaying in my life, like deja vu, and it was terrifying. I don't want to live through that again. When she was leaving on Sunday, my wolf became restless. I couldn't control him, and for some reason he believes she's in danger. I can't blame him though. The last time someone dear to us left, she never came back. I guess that's why it affected us this much.
Anonymous pov "What do you mean the deal is off?" He yelled through the phone, and I pinched the bridge of my nose in frustration. "When I say it's off I mean it's off! Good luck with your life but you won't hear from me again" I said in an evenly irritated tone. "Oh we shall see about that" And with that, the line went dead. I buried my head in my hands, exasperated because I knew this won't be the end of it. "So?" I looked up, forgetting she was in the room with me. I simply shook my head, as I couldn't find the strength to speak. Her chest rose in anger as she looked at me as if I was the worst person in the world. "Wel
Victoria's pov "I can't believe you're actually leaving. I mean, I'm happy that you're better but I'll miss you" I said as I hugged Velma for the hundredth time today. "You can always come and visit me at my home." She squiggled something on a paper and handed it to me. "Here. This is my address. I look forward to your visit" She smiled, but I barely returned it. "I know you're gonna miss my wonderful company," She winked. "But I have a feeling you are sad about something else" I sighed and gave a short nod. "I just didn't have the best night" I could've had the best night, but someone just had to ruin the moment. "Wanna talk about it?" She asked willingly, but I shook
Victoria's pov Three weeks flew by a little too fast that I didn't even notice. Everything was happening so quickly. The pack was getting ready for another barbecue and Ashley's 'induction' was being planned. Her observation period practically ended since the first week she came; they had no real reason not to trust her. Apparently due to the mate bond, Caleb would be able to detect if she was being dishonest when she told us the rest of her story. Since then, Emma, Ashley and I have become like the power puff girls. We were almost always together that Caleb was starting to get jealous. Turns out, Ashley is the total opposite of Emma and I. When I first met her, I totally misjudged her personality. Instead of being the bold, sassy person I thought she was, she was actually really quiet an
Victoria's pov "Everything." He sighed as if gathering his thoughts, while I braced myself for the worst. "Ella was my mate. She died a year ago" He whispered loud enough for me to hear while my heart broke for him. I suddenly felt bad for resenting her so much, thinking she was a bad person for leaving her mate, when in reality she was actually dead. "Luka you don't have to continue if you're not ready. Gosh I'm sorry I pushed it so much, I didn't know. Damn" I rambled out quickly while he just chuckled, shaking his head. "It's okay Victoria. As I said, it was selfish of me to put you through that." God what am I gonna do with this man?
Victoria's pov From the moment Luka asked me if I wanted to meet his wolf, I've been exuberant since, totally forgetting all the tears before. We were on our way back to the pack lands just to be safer, and I haven't shut up about it since. I thought by now he would've regretted asking me before we were back to the pack, but his amused looks and laughs now and then put me at ease. I was in the middle of annoying him about riding his wolf, when he came to a sudden stop. I noticed he pulled up in a clearing close to the Alpha house and my eagerness grew by the second. "I think this is a good spot," he said, turning off the engine. Isquealed so loud that even a few birds flew away. "Hey hey! Easy" He laughed, hold
Victoria's pov"What happened to you two?" Ty asked as we made our presence known in the living room.Worry took over Ashley's face, while the others just looked amused."We're fine. We were just out in the woods....exploring" Luka stated while he made a rainbow outline with his hands. I scoffed. I say it all the time and I will continue saying it--He's such a five year old."So everything is okay then?" Lincoln asked carefully, only the three of us knowing what he meant.I saw the both of them staring at each other and nodding occasionally, so I assumed that they're doing their mind link thingy.After a while I noticed that they all had focused looks on their faces, as if they're listening attentively to something."Hey no fair I wanna
Note: Please don't look to this chapter as a closure. Please! Your closure was in "Chapter 49-Final" so if you decide to see this as the final, please don't. You'll like the previous one better, trust me. This is a bonus chapter that can play as an epilogue, but it focuses on the future rather than just Victoria and Luka. But please do read it, and enjoy nonetheless. You have been warned! Don't attack me if you don't like it. But you will don't worry, just not as a sentimental ending. Happy reading! *** "Victoriaaaaa how much farther? " Zoey whined for the hundredth time since we started driving. I rolled my eyes at my sister while I looked to Luka for help. "Just a few more
Luka's pov "It's a boy" My heart welled up in joy at the words the love of my life spoke happily.It's a boy. He'd been born. And by the look on her face, he was okay too. "That's great! " I exclaimed as everyone else in the hallway processed the information. Caleb and Ashley's baby was finally in the world. And despite the long agonizing hours that Ashley have been in labour, it was all forgotten. She had gone into labour earlier than she was intended to, and so she faced complications. She's been at the hospital for the past two days, and my wonderful Victoria has been with her every step of the way.
Victoria's pov I've always been someone who looks too deep into someone or something. That's because from a young age I've learnt that there's always more than what meets the eye. When I first met Stella, she showed me that dark side of her that you can't see with the naked eye. And since she loves everyone around her, and visa versa, they wouldn't have noticed. But me, the stranger and the human who wasdoomingher and her family to a tragic end, was met with the side of her that nobody else saw. Don't get me wrong, she isn't a bad person and she has a heart. But emotions always cloud judgement. And since I had little emotions towards her, I could see what everyone didn't.So when Luka t
Victoria's pov All our hearts were in our throats as we entered Caleb's room. Ashley was the first to speak as she took slow steps towards his bed. "Caleb? " A grunt came from him, and I knew I could speak for everyone when I said that that was the best grunt I've ever heard in my lifetime. She was in tears again as she ran the rest of the way towards his bed and jumped on him, cradling his head in her bosom as she cried. "I thought I lost you" She sobbed in his hair. He winced slightly, but he didn't hesitate to return her hug, though he was weak. "I'd never leave you baby. Even if I have to fight with Death himself" His voice was soft and croaky, but the confidence made it loud enough for us to hear. "But II felt the bond break" "It didn't sweetheart" He pulled her back and wiped her te
Victoria's pov "Victoria what's wrong? " "No time for questions Luka. Just get in your car and come home now. Please!" I threw my phone on the table and ran out behind Emma after I got my message to Luka. She shifted in her wolf so we could be there faster, and I clenched on to the robe for her as she ran through the mass of trees.Minutes after, we approached a group of wolves and I noticed that some were shifted and some still in human form. I also noticed that Caleb was in his own wolf form, growling and snarling at the man I assumed was Samuel. He was as tall as Lincoln was, and shared most of his features. He was, however, slightly slimmer and looked too old for his age. Samuel had a calm smile on his face, and two wolves stood behi
Victoria's pov "Yea thanks it's great...No problem, I'll send it directly to your accounts... Thanks, bye". I ended the call and peered around my living room in awe once again. Those people really did a good job, I felt like I was standing in a brand new house. Yesterday I got a call that my house was finally done, termite free and all. Luka wanted me to wait until he's back from his two day Alpha meeting in the Truemoon Pack, but I just couldn't wait. I snapped a quick pic and sent it to him. It was nine in the morning so he was probably in a meeting, but I couldn't help myself. The house looked great. It made me want to move back in and relish in all its beauty. I didn't get to visit all the rooms, but the few I sa
-Five months later- Victoria's pov "I found my mate guys! " We all gasped in delight when Ty finally announced his surprise. For weeks he had been telling us about this 'surprise' that he had for us, but he would always blow us off. "Called it! Pay up bro" Our heads all snapped to Caleb, as Lincoln mumbled something under his breath and gave him a twenty. "You guys bet on me? " Ty laughed on the big tv screen. "What else could it be though? I'm happy for you man! Congrats". Caleb beamed. Ty texted Emma this morning and asked her to gather everyone for the announcement. Lincoln somehow connected the call to the tv
Victoria's pov Three weeks went by in a flash, and things only got more interesting by the day. Caleb was finally able to sense Ashley's scent change, and whenever he's not working, he'd have his nose lodged into her neck. I was quite happy for them. They seemed so content. Emma seemed to come to terms with the fact that Ty was gone, though they practically talked every night. It was good to see her accepting the change since she was so sensitive about it. Luka and I enrolled Zoey in a class for her age, where she'll learn basic knowledge for her age group while getting enough time to practice her art. I've come to learn that they only start learning about werewolf theo
Victoria's pov "Happy birthday to you!" Caleb grunted as I landed on him with a thud and wrapped him in a bone crushing hug. "Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy biiiirrrtthhdaaaaaay! " I repeated as I gave him a huge kiss on his cheek. "I can't wait for my birthday to come" I heard Luka mumble as he sat on the opposite couch. With a short laugh, I hopped off Caleb and sat beside Luka. "Thanks Tori," Caleb said with a chuckle. "I'm grateful for all the love toda-" "Happy birthday uncle Caleb! " He was tackled again by Zoey after she emerged from thin air it seemed. "Thanks Zozo" He gently kissed her head as she cringed at the nickname.
