Chapter-46

“Calm down, my tiger. We won’t want you to waste your power now, do we? Look, everyone is ready to listen to you.” Daniel Neptune said, hugging her close to his body, as he was the only one who dared to go close to her, being a witch-king of the dark world.

Seeing that everyone has calmed down and was not fighting anymore, Victoria finally calmed down, all the furniture getting back in its place.

Laila, on the other side, who saw this form of Jasmine for the first time, fell to the ground, looking at Victoria with horror-filled eyes.

Well, it was a good decision that I had decided to not come in between her and Alexander’s relationship, or what she would’ve done to me? Laila thought in her head before looking at Victoria, who was standing there with her eyes closed.

“Leave me and Laila alone in the room. I want to talk to her without being interrupted. You guys can do that, right?”

“But, Jasmine-” Alexander started, making Laila roll her eyes at him. She knew she was Victoria only and to say they had been trying to pretend that she was Jasmine. Anyone could see the change in the way he looked at her after that party. Terrible actors.

“I think, we should give her some time. It’s better than her using her energy and harm herself in the process, right?” Ashton said, and though Alexander was not willing to leave her alone with Laila, he still complied.

“Alexander? What is happening there? Is our daughter okay?” Martha immediately stood when she saw everyone coming back, including Ashton and Daniel Neptune this time.

“Respect to the King of the dark witched and Vampire species,” Martha said before nodding her head, making both Ashton and Neptune nod at them before all of them sat in the hall, dreading the situation in the room.

Meanwhile, in the room, Laila sat by the door, not daring to budge from her earlier position. After some time when everyone left, and she checked with her energy and Magna that no one was trying to eavesdrop on their conversation, Victoria turned towards Laila with an annoyed look before she asked her to come and sit on the chair rather than the floor.

“Hahaha… I think I am good here.” Laila said, fidgeting a bit now, not knowing what to say to her.

“Well, are you waiting for my invitation to start speaking again? What did you want to say? Make it fast. I am not in a very pleasant mood today.” Victoria said, tilting her head and looking at Laila with her predatory eyes.

“I, actually, came to say thank you to you for bearing me for so long, and sorry for all the things I did with you and Alexander, and all the times I tried to come between you guys,” Laila said, her eyes showing nothing but remorse.

“And?” Victoria asked, knowing there was more to it.

“And I am also sorry for eying the throne. I was filled with greed that my father had planted in me, that if Alexander doesn't find his mate, then I can become his queen, and that he will have no choice but to marry me because his parents had promised my dad about it. However, now that I have found my mate and experienced a little of mate bond, I know that there is nothing more important in the world than living with the love of your life happily.” Laila said with a dazed look on her face, and Victoria knew that whatever she was saying was from the bottom of her heart and was not making up things to trick her.

“I have decided to leave the Pearly Canines and start afresh with my mate. I have told my mate about everything I did in the past, and though he was angry a bit when I explained it to him, he forgave me after some time.” Laila said, making Victoria nod at her in understanding.

The things that Laila has done in the pst were not something that could be easily forgiven, From trying to drug her Alpha king and trying to bed him to kill her Luna queen, she has done everything, and if a person is willing to forgive her then it is already a blessing for her.

“You don’t have to leave the kingdom, you know,” Victoria said after thinking for a long time. This place has been her home since she was born, and though she was a bit evil in the past, it doesn’t mean that she can not be given a chance to start a new.

‘She is too soft, I am telling you. I don’t approve of her decision.’

“Well, no wonder that everyone was giving her such a hard time for so long. I don’t agree too.’

‘Don’t judge her like that. She is a queen, and she will have to think about others before she thinks about herself. This is her own decision.’

Her powers said in her head, making her roll her eyes at their opinions. As if she was dying for their approval.

‘Who allowed you guys to talk in my head? Am I not having enough hard time already because of you guys?’ Victoria said in her head, making everyone roll their eyes at her before they started chatting with each other again.

Good. Now they are ganging up on me and ignoring me. Just amazing. Victoria thought, annoyed.

Blocking their voices in her head as they were enjoying their own personal party, Victoria focussed on the girl in front of her with a soft smile on her face.

“Honestly, I have wronged you soo much that I don’t think I’ll be able to live with it without feeling guilty about it. It will be worse if I’ll see you guys daily and it will make me feel bad. Alexander is the best king, and you are the best queen this kingdom can get, and seeing that I once tried to kill you, I don’t think I’ll be able to bear with it.” Laila confessed, making Victoria nod at her in understanding.

“Also, my mate doesn’t belong here. He is a beta of a pack, and it’s better I move with him rather than making him leave his position and come to me. His name is Blake.” Laila said with a soft smile on her face, an indication that she was already deep in love with that Blake guy.

“I understand,” Victoria said before standing from her seat and going towards the window. Tracing her fingers on the window, she opened it with a jerk, closing her eyes frustratingly when the window glass broke and fell in the garden.

She is still to get used to her extended powers and witch powers entering a new domain.

“If you don’t mind, can I ask you what is happening to you? I mean, you just floated in the air when you were angry, and that Vampire and that witch were trying to calm you, not to mention Alexander, who looked scared as hell.” Laila asked, and though Victoria knew that Laila wasn’t asking with mal intentions, she still refused to tell her anything and just smiled at her.

“It’s better if you do not know anything about it. If you’ll know, then it will put your life at a risk, and that’s the last thing we want after you've found your mate only recently, right?” Victoria said, making Laila nod her head as she stood to leave the room.

However, once again before she could leave the room, Ashton and Neptune barged inside the room, with alert eyes.

“What happened? What was the noise? Why did I hear the sound of something breaking?” Neptune asked, lifting Victoria in the air to check for any wound.

“I opened the window, and well, it broke,” Victoria said with a sad look on her face, making Ashton and Neptune look at each other before both of them sighed loudly.

“Don’t worry, we’ll help you control these powers, okay? And for that, we are taking you to somewhere else.” Neptune said and was about to say further, however, stopped when he remembered the presence of someone else in the room.

“Why don’t you leave if you are done here?” Neptune asked with a hard gaze, his dominant king’s voice replacing the soft tender voice that he uses on Victoria.

Feeling scared all of a sudden, Laila practically ran out of the room without even looking back.

She was sure about one thing at least. Whatever has happened to Victoria has made her ten times stronger than before, and it was a good choice that she has decided to give up on Alexander, or she can't even imagine the cruel ways in which Victoria might've killed her.
