My Personal Lycan King novel Chapter 64

DANIEL'S POV

Yesterday's party was a blast. Though Victoria's attention was particularly not on me, I liked the fact that she enjoyed herself.

I know she likes Alexander and probably has fallen in love with him too. I don't know who to blame for that. Should I blame my funny luck, or should I blame this freaking mate-bond that Alexander and Victoria share?

I don't know what this was all about, it made me happy when she smiled the whole night, but a part of me kept on hoping all night that it should be only me she is smiling at and who is making her happy.

After my morning routine, I went back to my room to take a quick shower when I noticed the cyan light in my phone going on and off, indicating the arrival of a new message.

Opening the message, the towel in my hand slipped when I read the contents of it,

"They have already mated and completed the second step, what are you waiting for? Do you want to torture yourself seeing them making love right in front of you? We should've done it earlier, but it isn't too late either. Do the job today. We'll handle rest." 

I read the message over and over again and couldn't help but clench my fists when my conscience kept on bugging me that I shouldn't do it and should be loyal to my alpha king. However, I knew I was too far gone in this game now.

I need to do it to make Victoria mine, and I'll do it

VICTORIA'S POV

It hurts. It hurts like hell, but how am I supposed to tell Daniel about it? 

Do I confess to him about this increasing feeling of pain and torturous agony that I have been feeling for the last thirty minutes, since the moment I and Daniel had come out to meet this pack doctor to treat me?

"What's the rush, Vic? Can you slow down your tempo? Didn't you hear what the doctor said? He said you need to take proper rest for at least two days, and you are running like this right after you came out from his clinic. You are seriously beyond me." Daniel bellowed as he was running along with me.

Looking at Daniel, who had a concerned-filled face, I was tempted to stop and go slow with him, but this agony was too much for me to handle. 

"I don't know. Something's wrong. It feels like I am burning from inside." I breathed heavily before trying to increase my pace.

"Hey, what are you talking about? Stop. Tell me what are you feeling? Do we need to go back to the doctor?" Daniel asked as he held my shoulders, making me stop abruptly.

I looked into his genuinely concerned eyes, feeling tempted again, but how can I tell him the truth? How can I tell him, it's actually Carla who is screaming at me to reach Alexander as soon as I can.

I don't know what's happening, but this was the first time I have seen her acting so anxious after we transformed. It's definitely something important and urgent or she won't rush me even after knowing I am wounded like this.

But how am I supposed to tell this to Daniel, who thinks I am nothing more than a lantern? How should I tell him that my wolf I urging me to do it?

"Okay fine. If you don't want to tell, then it's okay. At least let me carry you to the destination where you are heading. That's the least I can do." Daniel said, and I couldn't help but feel tempted by his offer, but remembering how Alexander is always so edgy about my friendship with him, I shook my head in denial.

"Fine. You are seriously something. So annoying." Daniel said before he nudged me, making me laugh, and we started jogging again.

Where was my destination? I was going to Alexander's mansion because Carla was practically shouting at me to fasten my pace and reach there.

It wasn't long before I finally entered the mansion breathing heavily, with Daniel on my tail.

"Seriously, Vic? I know you are in love with your alpha, and the feelings have become stronger since you mated yesterday night, but I think it could've waited for some time since you were wounded like this. What's the rush?." Daniel said as he panted beside me.

However, whatever he was saying felt like just a string of words that didn't want to register in my mind anymore.

Seeing my unresponsive state, Daniel looked at me before smiling,

"Now, what are you waiting for? Go ahead? It's a few stairs only. Go to your love." He said with a hint of mockery, but I still couldn't bring myself to react to it as my eyes were fixated on one thing only.

As if he observed my shocked state, I could see Daniel following my line of sight, and I knew he was quite shocked too when he saw Alexander like this.

To say my heart was broken into million shreds would be an understatement. The feeling of pain, agony, helplessness, and all the negative emotions that I have been feeling for the last half an hour was because of this maybe.

I looked at the scene unfolding in front of me like a movie reel since I was too shocked to say anything or do anything.

In front of me was Alexander on the staircase in front of his room that faced the living hall. In his arms was none other than my enemy Laila, but that wasn't what shocked me.

It was the fact that Alexander was only in shorts while Laila was in a skinny dress, and they both were engrossed in an intense make-out session with each other.

"Xander?" I couldn't help but speak softly, still not believing if what was happening in front of me was real or not. 

I didn't have to witness the scene for long as I felt Daniel placing his hands on my eyes and engulfing me in a hug to stop me from staring at the heartbreaking scene.

~~~~TWO HOURS AGO~~~~

Waking up in Alexander's arms was something I had always imagined since we met, and when it happened for the first time today, well, let's say that the feeling didn't disappoint me. 

It felt like bliss.

To be honest, I was a little shy after our lovemaking session last night.
