My Personal Lycan King novel Chapter 77

VICTORIA'S POV

"Rosaline! Go back inside!" Theodore said as he rushed towards her.

"Stop where you are, or I'll slit my throat!" Rosaline threatened, her eyes fixated on Robert.

Robert, who was still hugging me, became so stiff that it felt like I was hugging a stone rather than a person.

It wasn't long before I felt him trembling under me as he gripped my elbows to stabilize himself.

It was a good sign, I guess. His resolution was breaking. I knew what he was feeling right now, and I think this was the only way left we can use to bring the humanity in him back.

Turning around, I looked at Rosaline and nodded at her slightly to continue what she was doing.

"Is this what you want, Robby?" Rosaline repeated her question before making another cut on her arm. 

Her legs swayed as she stepped forward, and she had to take the support of a wall to keep standing.

I wanted to help her, but I knew, the more pitiful she would look, the more will be the chances of Robert reacting because one thing was clear from what I remembered, and that was, Robert loved Rosaline.

I know I was staking Rosaline's life, but I also knew where to stop her. If things don't work the way I want, then I won't allow her to go any further and will immediately seal her wounds with my power. 

It will make me weak momentarily, but it'll be worth it nevertheless

'You are just wasting your time, Victoria! We don't have that much time. Alexander needs us!' I heard Carla roaring, making me wince.

'Alexander needs us, but these people also need us, Carla. I can't just let this blood-shed go on when I know how to stop it. Wasn't it you, who always mention that we are a queen? Then tell me what is more important for a queen? Her love, or saving the lives of thousands? Where is the girl who had risked my life or should I say her life, by jumping into that river from the cliff, just because she had to save a drowning girl.' I questioned back, making her shut as she growled at me angrily before placing around.

"Mom.." I heard a very timid whisper in my ears, making my eyes go wide as I looked back at Robert, my sole attention on him now.

His voice was so timid and unsure that I couldn't help but squeeze his hand in assurance. 

He looked at me with those teary eyes, making my eyes tear as I nodded at him to go on.

ROBERT'S POV

She was there. Standing right in front of me was none other than Victoria, with a determined face and her dress tainted with the blood of other wolves maybe.

The woman I loved for 8 years was there in front of me. She has matured now, but she still looked as pretty cute and innocent as ever.

Victoria, the person who I loved for soo many years and the person who gave me the motivation to fight for my rights. 

My rights, my throne, my position, my people, my love, and my family, I wanted everything, and I wanted it all for her. So that I can keep her by my side, and pay her back with all of my love.

But, she was still dumb-headed like she was eight years back. She still can't distinguish right from wrong. She still can't tell that I was the right person for her. 

I can bear with anything, but I can't control it when she has questioned my love for her. I would've stopped this bloodshed when she had mentioned it, but not anymore when she is so headstrong about not coming with me.

She has no idea what I am going to do now when she says she doesn't want me. That she is in love with Alexander.

She says this is just an obsession, of course, she would say that because she is possessed with that Alexander's thoughts because she has been brainwashed by these people who want her strong self.

I just hope that Patrick was giving Alexander a tough time. I don't want Patrick to kill Alexander because he was still my brother nevertheless, but a high level of mental, emotional, and physical torture was still preferred by me.

I was still contemplating what to do and what to not do since my heart and mind weren't coming on the same terms when I heard Victoria sobbing while hugging me.
