My Personal Lycan King novel Chapter 61

VICTORIA'S POV

"Hey, Vic. Can I have a moment with you?" I heard Alexander's voice from behind me as I was walking towards my not-so-favorite chemistry class.

"We are in the same class. Aren't we? Let's go together." I said before we started walking together.

"So umm...this is...this...I wanted to-" 

"Come to the point, will you?" I couldn't help but ask annoyed when I saw his eyes drifting towards Laila, who was standing not too far from us.

"I am sorry about what happened yesterday." He said, gazing at me now.

"Well, seeing how you still have your eyes on the other girl, I don't think you are sorry at all, Alexander," I said before turning on my heels after taking my books for the lecture.

"Wait, I mean it. I am sorry, please forgive me this once. I promise this won't be repeated. Please? If it wasn't for my dad asking me to do it because he wanted to prove something, I wouldn't have done that. I swear." He said, making me stop in my tracks.

"And, what was it?" 

"What was what? He asked confused.

"What was that he wanted to prove to you?" I asked feeling a bit edgy, remembering how I had warned his dad back then when he had called me to have a small chit chat.

"You will find it weird and might not even believe it, but he wanted to prove to me that Daniel is in love with you." He said, and I couldn't help but crack a smile at that.

"Alexander, what Daniel does for me is what a friend should do. And I feel happy for the girl who would marry him, but he is not my mate, and he knows that I am not his mate either. So you better get your facts checked." I said as we started walking again.

"I know you won't believe it right now, but that's the truth, Ria. He loves you. And that's why he is so concerned for you." He said.

"Are you by any chance indirectly telling me that you don't love me? Because, if how he treats me is called love, then you surely suck at this thing." I said before opening the classroom door and making my way towards Katie, who looked worriedly at me and Alexander.

"Hey, I am sorry about what happened the other day. Are you guys cool now?" Katie asked, making me smile at her reassuringly.

After a hell of a long day, because my mind was constantly filled with what Alexander said about Daniel loving me, I couldn't help but skip my class and venture out in the forest to have some alone time to calm down my nerves.

Alone time to calm my nerves. This reminds me that tomorrow is my birthday, and I'll be turning 19. The official age of my powers incorporating into me fully. This indirectly means that joy will cease to exist as my powers will not be a part of me...but me itself. 

But was it something I should be happy about?

Huh...just one more birthday without mom and dad by my side.

Smiling sadly as I sat near the lake, I looked at my reflection in the lake before dipping my legs into the cold water. It was unusually calming. 

I was busy with my calming activity when I heard shuffling of leaves from behind me, and before I could react to the sound, a huge wolf with reddish-brown fur stood in front of me. 

"If you are a werewolf, then you can shift, you know. I don't talk animal languages just yet." I said monotonously, not even minding the fact that a wolf almost twice my size was standing in front of me.

Carla has made me obnoxiously confident at this shit now.

I looked at the wolf as he snarled at me with his yellow eyes.

I am supposed to run, or scream, or fight in such a situation, no? But all I did was stare back at the wolf.

"Will you kill me today? Are you here to eat me? Nod your head if you want to kill me." I told the wolf, pre-assuming myself that he was a werewolf.

As I saw him nodding his head at me, I couldn't help but sigh. I was feeling quite unstable these days. 

"And here I was wishing to make a new friend today," I said before opening my right palm as a sharp dagger made of ice appeared in front of me.

Lifting the dagger into the air, I concentrated on the dagger before motioning it towards the wolf. It wasn't long before the dagger got plunged in that wolf's heart, and I heard a growl of pain as he died within a minute.

'Talk about using the powers in life and death situation only. Every minute of my fuckin life is a life and death situation.' I scoffed before standing up as I know it won't be long before his friends come and try to kill me.

Deporting myself back to my house, I switched on the TV to enjoy my free time before I think of killing Laila as she is constantly creeping my mind since yesterday.
