VICTORIA'S POV
Listening to my professor's narcissistic words about boys being stronger than girls, I was wondering when this lecture will be over. I mean it's good that you want the class to take part in a debate and have some discussion but it doesn't mean you have to pick such a controversial topic for that.
Like seriously? Who is the best, girls or boys? I mean, you need to grow up before you decide to teach some grown-ups!
And was it just me, or what? I think this new professor has been looking my way quite more often than I would call usual. Is he a creep of some kind? Or maybe some pedophile? I shuddered at the thought of him, thinking anything nasty about me.
Doodling on my notebook, I looked around the class, everyone quite busy listening to what others were saying.
"I completely oppose what Jane said right now. Did you just question our strength? I mean seriously? You weren't the one to talk when you were enjoying my strength last night." A boy with a blonde guy smirked causing everyone to hoot at his choice of words he used to refute.
"Dude? Like seriously? You are proud of that measly strength? Yeah, you had soo much strength that you couldn't even last for few minutes and I was left all high and dry, you jerk. And here you are talking about strength." That girl called Jane replied before smirking l and once again the class erupted in loud hooting with that blonde guy sitting with his face all red because of embarrassment.
This couldn't have gone worse than it already was, could it? To be honest, that guy, invited this upon himself. Who asked him to bring their private life on a stage like this.
I felt bad for both of them for they were shamelessly telling everyone what they did last night just for the sake of winning in this lousy debate and judging by how that creep professor was smiling, I know he was enjoying every bit of it.
Sighing loudly, I decided to think about random things to take my mind off these things that were making me annoyed.
I don't know why this was happening with me, but lately, I find myself getting angrier than it sounds usual.
Even the slightest trigger is enough to send me in an angry frizz and all I would want at that time is to run and cool off my mind.
According to Carla( the lady inside my head that I had mentioned before), this was something usual that I will be feeling from now on.
Is it because of her known presence in my mind? Or something else? Or was she hiding something from me? Things easily make me frustrated these days. I am feeling frustrated even now as I am thinking about my changed attitude.
And to top that, I am having this weird presumption that being around Alexander calms my mind and keeps my mood in check. Maybe it's because he has become my level 1 crush these days.
Looking out of the window at the distant tree, I started thinking about the day of the carnival or about Alexander to be precise to calm my mind.
Thinking about that day, about that ride on the wheel, I must say that Alexander was right about one thing- People who end up going on that Ferris wheel as a couple either have their relationship's status changed or their relationship is advanced in most of the cases
Though I can't tell what happened in our case, it surely turned out good.
After that accidental kiss, none of us talked for the whole ride, but it didn't mean, it's because we were on bad terms. In fact, if I remember it correctly, Alexander had his arms more tightened around me after that kiss or should I say a small peck on my cheek.
It felt good.
Being in his arms like that, it felt right in its way. I know that I've been thinking about things all wrong, since the day we met, and that all of this is probably because of my lusty self, but I can't deny the fact that being with him, makes me feel good and content.
It has been 5 days since, Sunday and there wasn't a day when Alexander didn't meet me and we had fun either at our place in the forest or at my house.
There were two days when he didn't even turn up at college but would come to my house after he is free or when my lectures finished having some fun. He would usually show up with my favorite milkshake so that I won't deny spending time with him.
But, if I am, to be honest with myself, then I must say I won't need any bribe to invite him in. His presence is enough to make my day.
Our spending time routine usually included movies and snacks in each other's company or walking beside the lake, but it was fun nonetheless for me.
I remember yesterday itself, I didn't have any lectures after the lunch break and neither did he had any, so we came to a common conclusion of having some fun.
We decided that it was best to take a walk near the lake, but when we noticed the dark clouds that were an indication of rain, we canceled the earlier plan and resolved to go to my house.
I prepared pancakes for both of us and he prepared my favorite milkshake along with me.
Working in the kitchen with him, it felt like we were husband and wife preparing dinner together. I know it was stupid of me to think like that, but I enjoyed the thought of it.
Later on, we played a horror series on Netflix and as soon as I sat on the sofa, with the popcorn and lights off, he immediately laid down and placed his head on my lap.
I don't know if he could hear my fast-pumping heart at the moment, but I could feel the blood rushing to my face, my cheeks and ears making me feel all warm just at this mere action.
I was soo nervous and happy at the same time that, rather than watching the series I was watching his face.
I don't know when I fell asleep watching his face, but when I woke up, in Alexander's arms, I was almost lying on top of him with my face plastered below his chin and my arms around his body-hugging him.
"Morning sunshine." I heard him speak and only then did I realize that I had slept all night hugging him like this, and it was already 5:00 am.
Muttering a quick sorry, I dashed towards my room, to save myself from more embarrassment.
After calming my heart, with me consoling myself that it was okay, there is no harm in that, what if he also slept along with me, when I went back to the living room, he was nowhere to be seen.
However, one thing was crystal clear to me. I was feeling something for this guy called Alexander and I knew this was one hell of a strong crush.
Chuckling at the thought of his cute face and my feelings, I scribbled something on my notebook when my name was called by that narcissistic professor.
"Miss Victoria, I see you are smiling at something. Care to share with us? So that we all can laugh too." He asked looking at me pointedly.
"Of course. I was smiling at the thought of how strange things have turned out these days. I mean how do they even allow such narcissistic professors to teach university students like us who think it's fun to debate on a controversial topic like boys and girls in a class full of both genders. I mean, aren't you afraid that someone might record this and upload it. I mean, if it were me, I would never do such a thing that can put my teaching license in danger." I said while smirking making everyone nod and laugh at my statement.
Before that professor could say anything to me, the bell rang indicating the end of the lecture.
Packing up my stuff that wasn't much, I was about to exit the classroom when my name was called up by the professor.
"Victoria, a moment please." He said.
I know I shouldn't have said soo much, but as I said, I can't control my anger and mouth these days and this debate was annoying me.
"Yes, professor," I said not looking at me.
"You should at least look at me when you speak. By the way, are you Victoria Gibberson, daughter of Martha and Nelson, adopted by Jenny and Harry?" He said with a strange robotic voice. Though his words stunned me.
Nobody and I means nobody except Marla knew my real parents' name. How does he know all of this?
I looked up from my hands to his face and I don't know if I should say it like that or not, but I felt like, he was very similar in appearance to someone I know.
I am damn sure, I have seen him somewhere, but where, I can't pinpoint exactly.
"How do you know my real parents' name?" I asked finally finding my voice.
"I know your real parents' name because your father Nelson was my elder brother." He said, making me more shocked than I already was.
As far as I remember, didn't Marla say that I don't have a relative from my father's side and mother's side? Who was this professor talking about? Then I remembered that Marla was probably talking about my adoptive father.
Before I could open up my mouth to ask the question, I saw his blue eyes glowing a bit, making me attracted to it as if that glow was calling on to me. Before I could react to it, I saw a yellow light kind of thing, engulfing his body.
It was beautiful but scary at the same time. I tried to move, but to no avail, was I able to move my limbs.
"Shit! This can't happen, he is under someone's control. Someone has commanded him to unveil it. Do something Victoria! You can't let him unveil it yet! Now is not the time." Carla yelled in my mind engulfing in white energy of her own.
This whole thing was confusing me, but as much I have known Carla I knew whatever she did was for my benefit. I tried my best to move but it felt like I was glued in my position.
I noticed that the professor was now looking at me with a warm smile.
A smile that was making me want to go and embrace him and engulf myself in that fatherly love, but the emotion didn't last for long, as I suddenly heard the door of the classroom opening and Alexander's distant voice.
"Victoria! Victoria! Get away from him!" I could hear him yelling. His voice was accompanied by Daniel's and Angela's.
"He is under someone's control. Shit! Knock him down!" Someone I don't recognize the voice of yelled from behind me.
But no matter how much I wanted to respond to their voices, I wasn't even able to move a finger, let alone run away from the professor.
In my subconscious state, I saw Alexander punching the professor twice making him fall on the ground groaning painfully and all that yellow light that engulfed him earlier started subsiding, releasing me from my stuck state at the same time.
I would've congratulated and praised Alexander for his braveness and protecting me, but my mind was still overflowing with Carla's white energy, which I don't know for some reason was unable me to see things clearly and before I could smile and say few words to Alexander to tell him my condition, I blacked out, falling miserably in Daniel's arms who was standing just behind me.
VICTORIA'S POV'Uhhh. My head hurts.' Was the first thing that came to my mind, when I started getting consciousness.'Of course, it hurts dumb ass, you almost got us killed.' Carla yelled at me, making it worse than it already was.'Can you shut up for a moment woman? I am trying to open my eyes here.' I yelled back at her, making her roll her eyes at me before she sat in the corner doing god knows what.'Uhhh...why is it soo hard to open my eyes? I can't even hear any whispering near me. Am I dead?' I asked.'Am I dead Carla?' I asked her again.Good, now she is ignoring me. Just fuckin great! this reminds me why am I even talking to her in the first place?Sometimes I really think, I need to go to see a psychiatrist and get myself thoroughly checked if there was something wrong with my mind.Groaning at my fa
VICTORIA'S POVSipping on my milkshake monotonously I gazed outside the window at the forest, silently. The trees were waving around with the wind that has picked its pace, with the now forming clouds.They looked like they were traveling, with how the crescent-shaped moon was hiding behind them occasionally, making it dark around everywhere.We both (me and Daniel) had been sitting in silence since Alexander stormed out of the room. It was a comfortable silence nonetheless.That's what I had been telling my mind for the past 10 minutes. It was turning more of a consoling self now. That it didn't affect me, how Alexander said those words or how he stormed out.I don't know why, but from the moment Alexander left looking all angry, I had been feeling this strange kind of emotion swirling in my heart, like an emotion of sorrow or loss.I don't know how to descr
VICTORIA'S POV'Carla? Are you there? Got any suggestions on what should I do at this moment?' I whispered inside my mind, my body starting to tremble with the uncertainty of my future.'You only remember me when you are in deep shit, don't you?' Carla said still sitting in the corner of that black room, which apparently was my mind.Dark and hollow.I wanted to laugh at my own thoughts and throw some snarky remarks back at her since I wasn't the one who asked the god to curse me with this telepathy or this weird woman in my head, but I knew now was not the time to go all haywire on this cursing thing.I knew she might be the only one who could help me in this situation where I am stuck with this hungry wolf, alone in this forest, because of my stupidity.Why didn't I listen to Daniel? Oh yeah, because I was too busy missing thunder and procrastinating about how Alexander saying those hu
Third Person's point of view(POV)"That new rogue wolf, that we had sent on the borders of Pearly canines, we've got some news about him, boss." A man said bowing in front of his leader, as he entered the lush office, of the leader of the rogues who were now camping on the border of the noman's land, planning a devious plan to attack other packs."He is dead, ain't he?" The leader asked as he swirled the knife in his hands before pushing it into the skin of a woman sitting on his lap.Feeling the pain of the knife entering her skin, the woman hissed painfully trying to control her cry, so as not to annoy the leader that could cause her, his mate's life.The leader, however, smiled satisfactorily when he listened to that hissing sound of pain from her mouth. It gave him momentary happiness, as he pushed the knife deeper.Oh, how much he loves the sound. It's like music
VICTORIA'S POV"Have I ever judged you guys when you order those truckloads of food when you are only 'snacking'? No right? Then you ain't got any right to judge me too." I said while filling my mouth with spoonfuls of pasta.Before Alexander could reply to my words, Daniel and the rest of the group came to the table taking their respective seats.I saw Alexander giving Daniel the sour eye. Looks like he is still pissed at him for calling me his mate in front of him. Aish!'He is seriously such a girl who doesn't want to lose his best friend and is jealous of that new girl who is having her best friend's attention.' I thought looking at his weird expression."Hey! That's mine!" I shouted with my mouth full when I noticed Sean taking one of my sandwiches."You have soo much here. One won't make a difference right?" Sean said sticking out his tongue to me while taking a large bite from the
VICTORIA'S POVThe fall that I was expecting never happened.When I didn't feel any pain, I opened my eyes to see what was the reason for me not falling, when I clearly remembered myself stumbling soo hard on that tree branch.However, the situation in front of me or that was happening with me was no joke. It was true. The nightmares of my power were just beginning.There was a weird kind of magma coming out of my hands, that I had placed in front of my face earlier to protect myself. The Magna had made a force soo strong on the ground, that it didn't let me fall.On the contrary, I could see that there were no leaves or stone on the place where the Magna was pointing at. All the leaves have been pushed away and the floor was so clean that it appeared as someone had mopped it.'Wh-What the hell did just happened?' I asked no one in particular.'I told you didn't I?
VICTORIA'S POV'Aish! It hurts.' Were probably the first syllables that came to my mouth, after I gained my consciousness back.'What the hell happened?' I asked no one in particular.'You tell me. I don't even understand how you can become unconscious at all the important events.' Carla said rolling her eyes.'Huh? Important event? What happened?' I asked her, while I tried to regain and arrange the bits of memory that I could recollect.'I was supposed to be in the forest, looking for thunder. What the hell am I doing in my room?' I asked Carla.'Good going. Try to recollect some more.' She replied in annoyance. Rolling my eyes at her, I decided to not argue with her and concentrate on the task at hand first.'I was looking for thunder when Alexander came rushing behind me. He was following me. He was asking me if I was jealous because
STRANGER'S (point of view)"You bitch! You are telling me only now? That bastard Alexander has been secretively forming the anti-rogue squad with the toughest rogues on command! If not for my men hovering in the pack these days, I wouldn't have known the strength of their squad. You useless piece of shit!" He yelled at me before slapping me.His slap was soo hard that my body collided with the bench behind me. I could feel my left ear ringing. My head was getting a bit dizzy, and my wolf was urging me to come out to fight but I knew I can't let her out like this. She was an alpha and I can't let this lousy man know about it yet. I can't risk my plan for anything.Coughing out the blood, I looked up, not daring to utter a word. It's not like I can't utter a word, it's just I chose not to.It was my plan too. It was our plan. I will make that Alexander and all his legacy pay for what he did to us
