Book-2 Chapter-40 Calling out Emerald

In the heavenly place where gods and goddesses of the bright world lived, three gods were having an intense conversation when they saw what was happening on the Earth. what was happening with Victoria and around her to be particular.

To them, it was funny of course, for they were the ones who had planned all of this from the very beginning.

"What are you smiling at, Moon goddess?

" The goddess of witches, Ava, asked the moon goddess, who was the goddess of werewolves.

"I am smiling at how the fate of this girl Victoria is turning into. It was indeed a rule made by me that a mate is someone who is the fated partner of the other half and they are bound to live happily ever after, and those who fail to accept their mate will live in the sorrow of their mate, but I would've never known that I will be regretting my decision someday.

" Moon goddess spoke, a mild frown etched on her face.

"So are you regretting your decision to create mates now?

" Alaric, the god of vampires asked with a meaningful smile on his face. He was always against the idea anyways. He always believed in love and that such a pure thing called love should not be forced and bound under a natural spell called mate.

"Not exactly. However, I never expected this girl to have such a twisted fate. We had indeed created her as just a test case of whether a hybrid will be able to live in this world and we can allow mating in crossbreeds or not, but I had never thought that it will result in such a twisted destiny. Are we somehow repeating history?

" Moon goddess paused before she roamed her band over a crystal ball that showed Victoria hugging Alexander in the rose garden.

"At the beginning, I thought it was fun to watch how they were entangling with each other and fighting their problems, but now I don't think I have the heart to watch further. She has already suffered so much because of the greed of Patrick, and now she will be suffering again with her three mates and Christopher. She is a good soul, and I don't want her to turn into another Madeline.

" Moon goddess said thoughtfully.

"Moon goddess, I think age is getting to you. If you've forgotten, then it was you who had poured all the powers in that one girl through Azrael.

" God Alaric paused before he continued,

"If you are feeling so bad about her, then why don't you pull out her powers and leave her as a human alone? Neptune will get Jasmine, Ashton will get Carla, and Alexander and Damien will get Victoria. No matter how hard they try, but Damien is not Carla's mate, and he will never get her as a mate.

" God Alaric suggested, and goddess Ava looked at Moon goddess for any reaction.

"That's where you are mistaken, God Alaric. There is one more part of Victoria that is yet to be shown to the world. Jasmine is Daniel Neptune's mate, Carla is Damien's mate, Victoria loves Alexander, but there is one more essence left within her. Have you forgotten Emerald? The vampire essence of Madeline?

" Moon goddess said, making Alaric and Ava widen their eyes.

Just how much twisted has she made the life of this simple human girl? If they didn't know about her nature, they would've thought that she was playing games with Victoria.

"It is easy to put different souls and power into a body when the child is just a zygote, but to call them out? You can't call them out even when it is a one-year-old child, let alone from a body of a 21 years old girl. I can't do that.

" She said, making Ava look at her with scrutinizing eyes.

"You are hiding something more, aren't you? There is indeed a way to do that, but you are unwilling to do it. Right?

" Ava asked, probing the moon goddess to say more.

"There is indeed a way. And that way is the prophecy. I can see it happening. The sacrifice of three souls. I am not sure what it actually is because it was created by my great father, but whatever it is, even as gods we can't interrupt in it.

" Moon goddess said with a loud sigh.

"Honestly, I think it's fun. Let's see if the hybrid can survive this or not.

" God Alaric smiled.

"She will be. If you've forgotten, then her second mate is Daniel Neptune. The witch-king of the dark witches who have access to even the dark books prohibited from the white world witches. He will try and do anything in his power to get his mate and only his mate alone.

So either everyone will be getting their own mates, or only Jasmine will be left alive. Last time, 600 years ago, he was weak because he was young, but now he is a king. He won't leave her this time.

" Ava said, and everyone looked at her with an interesting look.

Looks like the game is taking a nice turn.

Meanwhile, in the pearly Canines town, Victoria knocked on Daniel's door with a soft smile plastered on her face.

She waited for some time to let him open the door, however when he didn't, she moved towards the window of the house.

"Mmmm…ahhh…faster…faster, Dan.

" She heard a female voice from inside the house, and she couldn't help but turn red as she looked at Alexander, who had a similar expression on his face.

Placing his hands over her ears, he guided her away from Daniel's house to the nearby cafe.

"Well, that was weird,

" Alexander said, breaking off the awkward silence.

"Umm..yeah..it was. I never thought that..

" Victoria trailed off, confused as to what to say.

This was the first time, she has heard a female close to Daniel, and she didn't know why, but she was having a bad feeling about it. But it could be just er illusion since things aren't exactly going how she has planned.

"What are you thinking soo much for, sweetheart? You should be happy that he is with someone. All you should think about right now is how to arrange our marriage, and before that, where would you like to get marked?

" Alexander said, making her blush hard as she hugged him embarrassed.

As they sat close to each other, it wasn't long before Daniel entered the cafe with a blonde girl tagging behind him.

"Alex, Jasmine.

" He said with a vibrant smile on his face before nodding at both of them.

Nodding at Daniel, as her eyes were fixated on the girl standing behind Daniel, Victoria looked at Alexander, who shrugged his shoulders in response. She didn't know why but she felt like, the girl was kind of glaring at her?

"Jasmine, uh…I want you to meet someone. This is…this is my mate, Vanessa.

" Daniel said, and Victoria shot up from her seat, with her eyes as wide as soccer.

"What do you mean by mate?

" Victoria asked.

"Mate as in lover, Jasmine. By now, you should already be clear with what a mate is.

" Daniel chuckled.

"Hi, Jasmine, I've heard a lot about you,

" Vanessa said, her eyes darkening as she extended her hand for Victoria to shake.

Extending her hand, Victoria was about to shake her hand when Vanessa lost her balance and fell on the chair, her hand accidentally scratching across the table, and a little blood oozed out of her wound.

"Hey, are you okay?

" Daniel asked hurriedly, and even Alexander helped Vanessa up, which annoyed Victoria.

She was annoyed, not because everyone was helping Vanessa, but because she didn't know why but her eyes were fixated on the little wound Vanessa had. It felt like something was calling out to her, and she had a sudden urge to smell and lick that wound.

It was healing quickly, but the blood droplets on the ground and the side of the table were something she was not able to ignore.

"I am sorry about this. I shouldn't be clumsy like this in front of the queen.

" Vanessa said, looking directly at Victoria, who for some reason felt that she had a much deeper meaning behind her words.

"I am not the queen, well, not yet. And you don't need to be so formal. You are my brother's mate. Though I've forgotten about Victoria, it doesn't mean I don't consider him as a brother.

" Victoria said, talking like Jasmine should.

"I am not talking about Victoria, Jasmine.

" Vanessa leaned towards Victoria in a motion of hugging her and whispered in her ears.

"I am talking about Emerald, the Queen of vampires. In nome di Dio Alaric, Ordino a Emerald di svegliarsi (In the name of god Alaric, I order emerald to wake up.)

" She whispered before she took out a small pouch from her back pocket and dropped it on the ground, resulting in the powder pouring over, and an exotic smell wafted through Victoria's nose, making her teeth hurt.

Feeling a sudden pain shot in her body, she pushed Vanessa away from her, looking at her with confusion and anger.

"Jasmine, What the-

" Daniel started but stopped when he looked at Jasmine.

"Jasmine… Your eyes…

" Daniel suddenly said as he stumbled backward.

Hearing his words, Alexander, who was busy on his phone because of a message about some vampires entering Pearly Canines, looked up, his eyes shooting when he saw it for himself.

Victoria's eyes were turning red?
