VICTORIA'S POV
"Ummm..sorry. But do I know you?" I asked confused.
"You don't remember me? Well, that's very unlikely of you. You are the first person I've met, who dared to say that she doesn't recognise me." The familiar man said with a hint of a smile on his face.
"Well, I don't remember you. And if you don't mind, can you please step aside, you're blocking my view, of my mate Alexander taking the oath." I said, trying to see past him.
"Hahahaha...you are a funny one. I like you already." The man said before he went near the woman whose gaze has been fixated on me since the moment I entered the room.
'Well with that creepy gaze you are throwing towards me, I surely don't like you.' I wanted to say but stopped myself. He can be some higher-up fir all I know since he was the one who crowned Alexander.
'Weird uncle.' I thought before looking at my man who was taking the oath.
"-And I will conclude it by saying, I promise as the now, alpha king to cherish you all as my own, till my last breath," Alexander said as he ended his speech.
'Uhh! I missed the oath because of this uncle.' I cried in my mind, staring at the uncle in anger.
'I am hungry. We are hungry.' Joy exclaimed while she paced around.
'Can a soul get hungry? Shut up, don't try to outsmart me.' I said rolling my eyes at her behaviour.
'Soul can get hungry too! I am hungry! I want food! If you don't go and eat something, I am gonna burn the aisle.' Joy scoffed before sitting on the chair like a madwoman.
'Fine.' I mumbled.
Noticing that Alexander was talking with some friends and colleagues, I went towards the food section which was situated in the backyard.
'There's a lot. Tell me, what do you want me to eat for you? You are going to turn me into a pig, I am sure.' I sighed, before going towards the Chinese section and taking some spring rolls.
'Don't worry, we wolves have a strong metabolism. You won't become a pig, even if you eat food all day and night.' Carla commented, making Joy happier at that.
Since, when exactly did they turn into good friends?
Eating my spring rolls, I turned around to look at the people around me because I was feeling terribly bored now.
As I was scanning my eyes through the pool of people, a certain couple caught my attention. They were standing in the secluded corner where no one was paying them much attention since everyone was busy gazing at their new alpha king.
The guy and the girl looked like they were arguing about something. Concentrating my gaze at them, I tried to listen to what they were talking about, because the girl looked pitiful with her almost crying eyes, as the guy held her hand tightly, which I am sure will form a bruise.
"I love you, Zen. Can't you see that? What it has to do with that bitch of your mate? She is just an omega while I am the beta and also the best fighter the pack can have. Can't you see that I am the best fit to become the Luna of our pack?" The girl said.
Woah! It wasn't something I was expecting. When I saw that guy holding that girl's hand in a tight grip, I thought he was bullying her, but it was the opposite.
This tells you to never judge a book by its cover.
And why does it sound like something me and Alexander will be facing in the future with Laila in the picture? I mean I am not to judge anybody's character, but from how Laila is behaving and if it happens exactly how it happens in the movies, she is surely going to create some troubles for us.
"I AM NOT having this conversation with you Cami. She is my mate, I love her. Even if she wasn't my mate, I would've chosen her over you a hundred times because of how she is. She is not a self-centred, scheming bitch like you." That zen guy said.
Now you guys might be thinking why people around them weren't reacting even when they were talking so harshly right? Well, they weren't talking exactly. They were using their mind links to talk. A power that all werewolves possess by birth.
And I being the witch-wolf don't need to be a member of their pack to know what they are talking about.
Before that Zen guy could say anything, that Cami suddenly jumped and kissed his lips, while her gaze was settled behind him.
"What are you doing?" Zen said through the mind link, as he held her hand to push her away, but before he could move an inch, I saw a girl my age rushing towards the couple.
'Looks like she is his real mate.' Carla commented.
"What are you both doing?! I thought you love me!" That girl said with tears running down her face, as she slapped that Zen guy before running out.
'Ouch! That might've hurt.' Joy commented making me roll my eyes at her. No, shit-sherlock.
Since the drama was over for me, I was about to turn around when I heard a shrill scream coming from outside the mansion.
"Someone jumped in the river." Someone shouted from outside the mansion, and I couldn't help but run towards the exit since I was near the backyard door and closest to the river.
Rushing towards the river, I saw the girl who ran out of the mansion earlier struggling in the river, as she flailed her arms in the water.
'I don't think this is the best outfit for swimming. Besides, Alexander has this big swimming pool here, why would she jump in a river to calm her mind and emotions.' I thought.
'That's because she isn't trying to calm her emotions but is committing suicide.' Joy scoffed at me.
'Why would she do that?' I thought as a strong sense of protecting her, bubbled inside me and before I could know what was happening, I was already falling from the hill into the river.
'Carla!! This isn't funny!' I yelled at Carla knowing all too well that this was her doing.
'Sorry, as a queen, I have to protect my people.' She apologized.
I wanted to say more and reprimand her, but falling into the cold water of the river with a splash, stopped me from talking any further as I gulped some water.
'My dress!' I wailed, as I looked at my dress that was wet and was making it difficult for me to swim.
I tore a part of the skirt which was getting entangled in my legs so that I can swim properly and save my life before I think about saving her.
To say I was angry would be an understatement. I was agitated!
Swimming towards the girl who was now close to drowning, I took her hand in mine before swimming towards the shore, which I am telling you was more difficult than I had imagined.
Tip of the day- Never believe those romantic movies in which heroes protect the heroines from drowning like it's his second job.
The petite looking girl who weighed more than a wild pig has already fainted, which made me panic as I started pushing her chest to help her cough the water out.
It wasn't long before she gained her consciousness, and the first thing I did when I saw her fully awake was to slap her.
As soon I slapped her, I heard an angry growl coming from behind me and I couldn't help but turn around and scoff at the wolf knowing all too well that this wolf must be her mate, who was angry that I slapped his mate.
"Shut up you moron of a mate!" I shouted as I saw a very angry looking Alexander walking towards me in large strides. Well, he was not my biggest concern right now.
"Why the hell would you do that for? Did you know the truth? What happened and what was the situation? And if your mate was even at fault or not? No! You just jumped in a river to end your life and give him a lifetime of misery! You are such a loser, seriously! And now, I don't disagree with that cami girl to become the Luna. Such a scared cat girl can't run a pack alongside an alpha.
And if she becomes the Luna, it's all on you. Because you are so pitiful!" I yelled at the girl, not knowing from where this all was coming.
The wolf who had growled at me earlier changed back to his human form and shuffled closer to his mate to hug her, while I shouted at her.
"You! You better explain the situation and get things clear between you guys. And you, moron of a girl. Get your act together. This is not a place where weaklings like you can live. If you are not strong enough, learn to be strong! And if you can't become strong than get prepared to lose your life, because girls like her will come in front of you in all phases of life." I said before turning around, walking towards the forest area, still panting with burning anger that wasn't anywhere in my control.
'You did a good job, victoria.' Carla commented and I must say she commented at the wrong time.
'Good job! You bitch! I almost died because of you! Next time can you please warn me before you decide it's better to push Victoria in the river to save a damsel in distress?' I shouted at her.
'You're feeling too angry. Calm down. Do you want me to burn this Carla's tail again? Or, do you want me to burn this tree? It's dried anyways.' Joy said as she started blazing like a fireball, with fire coming out from her hands.
'Shutup.' I rolled my eyes at her, though I couldn't keep the smile off from my face.
Her fire joke never gets old.
Going back towards the shore, that I was finally feeling under control, I noticed almost everyone has left and the only people left there were that Zen, his mate, two other men that I don't recognize and a little bit angry Alexander.
"I am sorry, about that," I said, once I reached there, before inching closer towards Alexander, putting on my cute smile, so, as to not get too much reprimanding from him.
"To hell with your sorry. Do you even know how dangerous it was? Why are you soo impulsive, god damn it. I nearly had a heart attack when I saw you jump in the river like that. Never do that again okay?" Alexander said, before bringing me close to himself as he hugged me tightly, which calmed the remaining anger in me.
"I am wet. Don't hug me." I said as I looked at my soaked clothes and my torn skirt, sticking to my body pitifully.
"Don't say such words, like that in public. If I wasn't familiar with your way of using words, I would've thought you are inviting me." Alexander said as he snuggled his face in my neck.
"And what if I am?" I asked, not knowing from where that confidence to flirt was coming from.
I was about to apologize for that, however, the next thing I heard was a very tempting growl, as I heard his deep and sexy voice again,
"Don't tempt me, baby. I can't promise I will be easy."
And oh boy, it would be a total lie if I say it didn't turn me on.
Our little sweet moment was interrupted by, that couple again, as that girl spoke,
"I am sorry, miss. I know what I did was an act of cowardice and I am ashamed myself for doing that. Even I don't know what came over me that I did something like that. I promise I'll become strong and prove to myself that I am capable of his love and my packs love. Also, I will prove to cami that I may not be the perfect Luna, but I am the best Luna this pack can get."
"Thank you, madam, for saving my lifeline today. I don't know what I have done if something had happened to her. I will always be thankful to you and promise my life and my packs support to you." That Zen guy said bowing full nighty degree, before placing his jacket on his mate to cover her as he picked her up bridal style before going out of the place.
"Well, I don't know about her. But you surely are the best queen I can get." Alexander said before nuzzling his face in my neck as he kissed the junction between my neck and shoulder.
"I am gonna mark you here. This is my favourite spot." Alexander mumbled as he sucked on my skin, making me moan involuntarily.
I was so lost in his kiss that I forgot that we still had company, and it was not until we heard a loud cough, did we finally detached from each other.
Looking at the two pair of eyes gazing at us, I couldn't help but hide my face in Alexander's chest, and in return, all I heard was three different chuckles which made me hit Alexander's chest lightly.
"Don't laugh at me, or I will bite you." I threatened which made him laugh even louder as he started walking while side hugging me.
