ALEXANDER'S POV
Once the song was over, I couldn't help but push Laila away from me.
"Next time, you only approach me if there is something serious. For trivial matters like these, you can approach Chris." I said before looking towards the food aisle where I had spotted her last.
Not being able to find her anywhere near me, I couldn't help but feel worry wash over me, when I noticed even Daniel was nowhere to be seen.
Since, I have been acting more intimate with Victoria, I can trace her smell more accurately than before, though I still don't understand the reason why tracing her smell is so difficult in the first place.
Following the trail of the smell, my heart started beating a bit irregularly when I also smelled Daniel's scent alone with her.
Turning around the last corner which leads to the backside of the university, I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw Daniel about to kiss Victoria.
Watching such a scene unfolding in front of us, I couldn't control Hunter anymore as he released an angry growl of anger and agony.
'He dared to fuckin touch what's mine!' Hunter shouted in my head before he pushed the mind Barrier and took over my body.
Before I could react, the hunter ripped Daniel off Victoria as he glanced at Daniel and with the intent of killing.
'Hunter calm down! I am also angry that he tried to kiss our mate, but we can't let anger control us! He is our beta for god's sake. Let me handle this, okay? The last time you became this angry, you almost shredded the rogue into pieces. Just think, how devastated Victoria will feel if her best friend dies like that. So you want to make her cry. Look how worried she is.' I tried to reason, though inside I was feeling jealous of the fact that Victoria was concerned for Daniel.
"What the hell are you doing? Put him down!" Victoria yelled at us, which filled the hunter with grief, as he instantly let me take over while sitting in the corner like a wounded puppy.
'Don't be so dramatic okay?' I rolled my eyes at his actions before looking at Daniel as my hands were still wrapped around his neck.
"How dare you try to kiss her? Do you even know who she is?" I asked as my anger surfaced.
"I..I..she is my mate, Alexander. You might like her because she is beautiful and sweet, but you need to get over it. She is my mate. You might be my alpha king, but she is my mate." Daniel said as he struggled to get himself free from my hold.
He just did not say that! He now dared to call her, his mate!
"To fuck with your screwed imagination. You are feeling those emotions of protectiveness and care towards her because she is your Luna queen! My true mate! I never told anybody about it because I was fuckin afraid of losing her." I shouted in his face before punching him square in the face.
How dare he!
Picking him up, again, I was about to punch him again when my anger didn't subside, however, I was stopped by Victoria when she shouted in an angry voice,
"What the hell are you doing! Leave him alone! If you gotta problem with me, then talk to me, damn it. You manwhore!"
Did she just call me a manwhore?
'It's all on you. It's because you danced with Laila, she had misunderstood us. You always find ways to screw things up, no? No wonder, she doesn't like you and likes me. Because for me, no one is above her. Because she is the only girl I will ever dance with, the only girl I'll let touch me, or the only girl who I'll ever look up to. But you, you have to go around discussing pack matters while intimate dancing with other girls.' Hunter shouted at me as he put all of the blame on me.
Listening to both Victoria and Hunter's words was so frustrating that I couldn't help but pick her up in my arms before running towards the forest so that we can talk things out.
She shouted multiple threats at me during the time, but my only goal was to take her out of here.
Putting her down, as I tried to even my breath because of the amount of anger I was feeling, I couldn't help but gaze at her as she started smoothening her clothes.
I so wanted to punish our mate, for talking to other boys. Hadn't I already warned her that I don't like it? Not knowing what to do as I lost control of my emotions, I pushed her on the tree, before closing the distance between us, as I finally crashed my lips on hers.
As the sparks started erupting from inside me as my whole body burst with pleasure, I couldn't help but bring her impossibly closer to myself, feeling more confident when she placed her hand on my cheeks. Even though she didn't kiss me back, but the thing that she didn't push me away and placed her hand was enough of an indication for me.
And I finally updated my definition of heaven from licking her thighs at my arrival celebration party to Kissing her in the lips now.
'Uh-oh,' Hunter suddenly said, as he sat on the couch with a blank emotion.
Have I mentioned that since we share one body, we can feel what the other person is feeling? Well if not, then let me tell you, we can do that, and I know hunter was also feeling giddy about the kiss.
After a minute, which felt like a few seconds to me, since I didn't want to stop, I finally pulled away, however, what happened next was something I was hoping for from her. She punched me!
And let me make it clear, though she was a mere human, her punch hurts like hell. No wonder she was able to take those men back to the club when she was attacked.
'You know, you screwed big time, don't you?' Hunter finally said after a long time.
'It was a risk I am willing to take. Either she will accept me or reject me now.' I told Hunter with a calm face, though deep inside I knew how much I was pissing my pants.
Looking at her, as she started shouting at me profanities and complaining about the kiss, I couldn't help but want to kiss her again, however, controlled myself just in time, to not anger her more.
"I know, it was wrong of me to kiss you, and I should be-" I tried to say but stopped mid-sentence when she spoke again and told me how dumb I was and whatnot.
It wasn't later done I finally understand the meaning behind words, did I looked at her with surprise.
'She says, Kissing is not an issue? Doesn't that mean, she accepts us? our mate accepted us! Isn't this great!' I asked hunter who was also doing his signature happy little dance in my brain.
When everything between us was sorted out, I was about the kiss her again, when Daniel thought it was a great time to interrupt them.
I don't get what people in my pack think of their alpha king.
I don't want to act tough like other douche alpha's and want to act friendly with everyone, but is that making them think, I am easy to defeat and someone you can walk over?
It was getting on my nerves with his nonsensical imagination and everything. All o wanted right now was to kiss my mate senseless until she agrees to say that, 'She accepts me as her mate and will spend the eternity of her life with me.'
But what my pack members want? They want their alpha king to stay single for the rest of his life.
Kissing Victoria's cheek, I was finally able to make him understand that Victoria wasn't his mate, though even I found it weird that he had such strong feelings for her. Looks like I need to consult some old witch.
I was about to take her away, from the forest so that we can spend some night time alone when I smelled a weird smell of blood and dirt in the air.
"Rogues!" Chris suddenly yelled.
I knew it was rogues, but they are so protective of their alpha king, that without even waiting for my instructions they changed into their wolf forms, as we were surrounded by rogues.
'We need to protect her. I am taking over.' Suddenly hunter said, and before I can register what he meant, he suddenly took over the body as my canines started elongating and my hands turned to paws before I fully changed interested the wolf form.
But, what hunter had never imagined was, that Victoria will fall unconscious.
After fighting and killing all the rogues, I asked the patrol to take away the bodies so that they can be burnt, as we took Victoria near the lake, and waited for her to wake up.
"You know you can take her back home," Daniel said, when she finally woke up, before walking away with everyone.
'Nice move!' I wanted to shout at them. Aren't they the real reason why we are like this in the first place?
I started explaining to her about everything, our race, our species, why she was important and what was a mate, ignoring all the details to not confuse her, I suddenly smelled a weird smell coming from behind me.
As I turned around to see why I was smelling blood, I couldn't help but gasp at the sight that welcomed me. On the ground where Victoria was sitting earlier, there were few droplets of blood, but the person who's blood was that, was missing from the spot.
What happened? Where did she go? Did she leave me because she got scared of me?
