All Chapters of Stolen: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Viktoria’s POVI was feeling much better, but my mind was still all over the place and I needed some answers. Even if I didn’t ask them outright.“Okay, you seem to know almost everything about me but I hardly know anything about you and the beasts.” That was a bit obvious! Wasn’t that the reason why they kidnapped me? “Tell me in your words how things are different from what you think I’ve been taught.” I was hoping if we could just sit and talk about it as we have been talking now, I wouldn’t feel sick to my stomach!“What do you want to know?” He leaned back against the post of the bed and smiled, crossing his arms over his chest.“I don’t know.” I shrugged. “You were the one who kidnapped me. I’m sure you wanted me to know something. Unless you wanted to kill me.” My eyes grew wide! I didn’t think he would openly admit it!“Well for one, we aren’t beasts, but I think you’ve figured that much out by yourself.” He looked amused and shifted so he could sit more comfortably. “What els

Viktoria’s POVWithout thinking, I went into fight mode, but Fynn blocked the first attack. However, I was probably faster than he anticipated as the second punch connected with his jaw.“OW!” He flinched looking surprised but caught my hand mid-air when it came around for the knock-out. “That actually hurt!” He looked surprised and I burst out laughing.“What? Did you think it wouldn’t, ‘cause it was meant to!” I was furious, and amused at the same time! What did he expect? That I wasn’t going to punch his damn lights out when I found out he had been keeping my family from me? “You have been going on and on about all the lies the vampires have taught us, yet you have been lying to me since I arrived! How am I ever supposed to believe a single word you say ever again!” I ripped my wrist from his grip and walked away fighting to catch my breath. The dhampir taught us to always keep our emotions in check, but since I wasn’t there, I didn’t see the damn harm in losing my temper completel

Viktoria’s POVI could hear the sounds of boots walking on the marble floors of the castle corridors. I could smell the slight scent of citrus in the air that hid the other dreadful scents that clung to the palace walls from eons ago. I could see the beautiful clan flags hanging from every corner. The world I grew up in. The world I have loved since the day I was born. The world I never even thought could be such an enormous lie!“Are you all right?” Fynn’s voice broke through my memories and I smiled and nodded. I couldn’t very well tell him what I was thinking or how I was feeling. Yes, he had opened my eyes, but probably not in the way he wanted to.Viktor’s POVThe week couldn’t pass fast enough! For the first time in my very long life, it felt as if time was standing still. The same question I had been asking for days kept floating around in my thoughts as I sat in the small council meeting once again listening to my father lay down the law about the beasts. He was such a hypocri

Viktoria’s POVI was going home. Not tomorrow, but I knew that I was going home eventually. That made me feel slightly more at ease about spending my time here. What made me feel nervous was that my grandfather was here and had agreed to this. Why? Why was he here in the first place? Was there more to the story than what Fynn was telling me or was there more than what I was taught in school … Something was telling me that it was the second part? After everything I’d found out so far, it was probably the second part. I can’t believe that we blindly followed what we were taught all these years. Then, on the other hand, how did you not believe it, when that way of life was the only way you knew? I also realized that there were some things Fynn and his people didn’t know. Things I didn’t even know and I lived in the kingdom.Would I ever be able to find out the truth, the entire truth? Did I even want to know? If I went back there, it might be difficult to look at everyone knowing what I

Viktoria’s POVI hated the fact that other people’s actions put me in this uncertain position! I liked my life the way it was. I had a plan and I was happy with my plan. Now my life was probably the most uncertain it was ever going to get. I had no idea what my grandfather was planning when I returned, so much so that I wasn’t even sure if I wanted to go back. Then there was what I learned about the werewolves. I had a hard time calling them beasts! How was I going to join in an attack?! How was I ever going to fight them again, knowing that they were more human than beast?I just couldn’t deal with all of this anymore! I wanted to go home. I wanted to forget that any of this had happened.Fynn’s POVI walked into my office and was a little surprised to find that the council was already there waiting.“What’s all this?” I frowned, taking a seat behind my desk. I took the time to look each of them in their eyes and only moved on when they looked away. I had to show my strength as the A
