Book-2 Chapter-44

After Victoria finally calmed down with Alexander’s constant pestering, Alexander finally heaved a sigh of relief, and Daniel Neptune went out of the room to think about his new idea more properly and see if it was really feasible given Victoria’s condition right now.

“Can you look after her while I attend to her parents? Regarding what she said, make sure that she doesn’t sleep. You can do that, right?” Alexander said after he laid Victoria back on the bed.

“I’ll be in the hall with everyone. Call me if you need anything or if she starts panicking again.” Alexander said after Ashton nodded his head at him. He wanted to be with Victoria and keep consoling her, however, he also knew that he needs to attend to her parents that have come and meet him for the first time.

Earlier when they were trying to wake Victoria up and she wasn’t waking, Victoria’s mom has appeared out of nowhere and called her, and only then did Victoria came out of her trance state. He was yet to welcome her and thank her for what she did even after knowing she was her mom. From what Chris had told him, Victoria's father has also come, and he is yet to meet him. So he needs to go there and welcome them gracefully despite their current scenario.

“Don’t worry, Alexander. She is my mate too.” Ashton said with an amused look on his face before he went near Victoria and took her hand in his.

Nodding his head at Ashton one last time, Alexander went out of the room, closing the door behind him.

Reaching the hall, he gazed at the couple sitting in the middle of the sofa and couldn’t help but widened his eyes when his eyes landed on Nelson, who sat there with a calm look on his face.

“How is she?” Martha immediately asked when she saw Alexander descending the stairs and coming towards them.

“She is stable now.” alexander said, his eyes shifting to Nelson now and then.

“You can ask what you want to, son,” Nelson said after some time when he noticed his gaze on him.

“Weren’t you also an Alpha king? I can feel it from your vibes.” Alexander asked, feeling confused because he surely remembered that he doesn’t have anyone with the name Nelson in his family ancestral lineage.

“That’s true. I was a former Alpha king and once the ruler of the throne. However, after I fell in love with Martha, I had to give up on the throne so that I could be with her.” Nelson said smilingly, not a trace of sorrow in his voice or his face.

“Can you tell me about it?” He asked, curious for no reason in particular.

“Well, it happened around 800 years ago. I was the Alpha king just like you. When Martha came into our kingdom for the annual species meet that used to be conducted at our time, I fell in love with her, and unexpectedly she was my mate too. For most of the witches, the mating rule doesn’t apply to them. It’s a matter of pure luck for witches to have a mate and actually get to stay with them because most of the witches are not even sure if they have a mate or not for their whole life, and not every witch can perform the infamous tough mate spell that is one of the hardest spells known.” Nelson said, looking at Martha before he continued.

“Long story short, when my father and her father came to know about her inter-species mate relationship, they couldn’t deny the eternal mate bond, however, a condition was put in front of me if I wanted to be with her. That condition was to give up the throne. That time my brother came forward and decided to help me as he took over the throne in my place. However, I wasn’t the only one who sacrificed his kingdom for love. Martha also sacrificed her title of the princess of the witch kingdom, and that’s the reason why Victoria is the princess of the witch kingdom but is also accepted by the KIng’s throne.” Nelson explained, making Alexander nod and smile at their love for each other.

“That also explains why Victoria is a hybrid. It’s because she has the blood and genes of two most powerful people.” Alexander concluded while looking at them to see if he had guessed right or not.

“This, we can’t say anything about it. If you don’t mind, we would like to meet our daughter. It’s been around twenty-one years since we last saw her. Our appearance in her dream two years ago was just an illusion that I had created for her.’’ Martha said, making nelson nod. Excitement to meet their daughter visible on their faces.

“Why have you both come today when you didn’t come to meet her in these twenty-one years?” Daniel Neptune suddenly appeared in the hall and asked.

“Sorry?” Nelson asked, confused as to what he was trying to say.

“What I mean is, you didn’t come to meet her in these twenty-one years because you were afraid that Christopher might find out where Victoria is, so why did you come today?” Aren’t you afraid anymore that he will find out your trail and might come and harm Victoria?” He explained, making Nelson sigh at his question.

“Actually, he already knows that she is alive and is in the werewolf kingdom because of her little naughtiness when she sat on the werewolf king’s throne. When a person of different species sits on the throne of the other species and is accepted, then a large crack is formed on the species throne to which it belongs, and that was exactly what happened in Victoria’s case. This happened for the first time, but Christopher being such an old witch immediately understood what did it meant. The large crack with the werewolf symbol made it all clear to him.” Nelson explained, making Neptune close his eyes in frustration.

How could he miss on such an important incident? He thought before looking towards the room where Victoria was. He agreed with her father on one thing. She was indeed very naive and naught for her own good.

“You guys will go after meeting her, right? I think I have an idea how can we buy some more time.” Daniel said after thinking for a long time.
