Chapter-55

"I think water has always been the solution to my problems. I don’t know if it's just my delusion, but from childhood itself, water has been protecting me from all the kind of dangers I came across in life.

" Victoria paused before looking outside the window.

"You know, when I was a kid, there was this one time when my mom accidentally left me beside a pool to take a Phonecall. I fell into the water, and rather than drowning like an actual kid would've been, I floated on the surface. The lifeguard who saw me told my mom that maybe I was a born swimmer. However, only I knew that there was some surge of energy I was feeling at the bottom of the water. Something that was keeping me upright and keeping me from drowning.

" Victoria said before standing and going towards the window.

"When I was around twelve years old and has fallen into the water to save Robert from the high-intensity stream, the water has calmed down for some minutes until I was out of the water.

When I first came to know about my powers, it was because a large wave of water protected me from falling on the ground while I was running away after hurting Laila accidentally.

When I was on the verge of dying during the sacrifice spell, it was the water only that saved me. I was kept in the water for a month, and normally a person's body should have started rotting, but mine didn't.

When I entered the water of the fountains, they don't wet me. It's like they are repellent, and they always bow me first. Since I was a kid, water has been a friend that I had never appreciated but has always protected me.

Even right now, among all the elements, why was I teleported into that water body when I was thinking about the solution so hard? And those crystals submerged into the water? This just can't be a mere coincidence, Neptune.

" Victoria ended, making Neptune smile.

"It's not strange for you to feel protected by a certain element, Victoria. I think you've realized that water is your favored element, and your witch powers will be most powerful with it. Water has chosen itself as your element since you were born, and that’s why they always protect you from everything.

" Neptune said.

"Water is my power?

" Victoria whisper asked. However, what she didn't expect was a bucket of water to suddenly fall on top of her head.

"What the-

" She wanted to curse, but seeing that she wasn't wet, she looked at Neptune with wide eyes, who just nodded at her in acknowledgment.

"I will try to find out this foreign water body you are talking about. If that's all, I will be leaving now. I am sure you are excited to meet Alexander and want to spend this last night with him. Honestly, I was a bit surprised when Alexander called me and said that you needed me more than him.

" Neptune said, smiling through his teeth before disappearing into thin air.

Smiling at his words, Victoria closed her eyes before teleporting herself to where Alexander was.

"Jesus, Victoria! Can you stop giving me a heart attack like that?

" Alexander shouted when she appeared in the room suddenly.

"Hey! I came to spend my time with you, and this how you treat me?

" Victoria said, her eyes not leaving Alexander's chiseled chest.

Her darkened expression not going unnoticed by Alexander, who huffed loudly before looking at her helplessly.

‘Does she have any idea what her stare is doing to me?’ He thought before groaning as his thoughts trailed to a place where they shouldn’t.

"Eyes up here, miss. You are not allowed to ogle at any of us until this mate thing is solved. You do remember that, right? And I am not shouting at you, sweetheart. I was just surprised.

" Alexander said before wearing a t-shirt, much to Victoria's dismay.

Seeing her disheartened look when he wore his t-shirt, he couldn’t help but chuckle to himself.

"Has Neptune already gone? I thought you said you wanted him right now.

" He said before making himself comfortable on the bed beside Victoria.

"I needed him because I wanted to tell him something. I think I've got the solution to our problems, but I was not sure about it. However, it did help me find out what my hidden element power is.

" Victoria said before clicking her fingers as a few droplets of the water suddenly appeared out of nowhere and started dancing on her palm.

"Wow! Do you mean your hidden power is water? I’ve heard about it that some witches have their powerful elements but have never seen it in real.

" He asked, amazed by her powers.

"Yeah. Now, I don't want to waste any more time. I want to use this time to be with you and talk about ourselves rather than these problematic things.

" Victoria said, making Alexander chuckle before he kissed her forehead lovingly.

"You know, when you said that you needed Neptune, for a moment I felt a sudden surge of emotions in my body. I wanted to kidnap you at that moment and lock you in the dungeons so that no one can meet you apart from me.

" Alexander confessed, making Victoria smile at his words.

"I know that. Your jealousy was visible on your face. You looked like a kid whose favorite toy was being stolen and given to someone else.

" Victoria laughed before tilting her head to look at him.

"No matter what happens, Alexander, my love for you will never decrease. Always remember that, okay? You are my first and only love. I have indeed started feeling a bit attracted and comfortable around Neptune and Ashton, but it doesn’t mean that they can take your place in my heart.

" Victoria said before lifting her head and kissing his lips softly that he returned without hesitation.

"You do realize that we are doing wrong right now, right? We shouldn’t be doing this right now. Especially when this mate thing isn’t solved yet. If Ashton and Neptune came to know about it, they’ll surely be pissed. And don’t forget that they are kings of two large species too.

" Alexander said in between the kiss.

"I know, but a little kiss here and there won't hurt. I am yours before I am someone else’s. Besides, if they came to know, then I’ll just kiss both of them.

" She said, chuckling at Alexander’s contorted and wronged face.

Lifting her body on top of Alexander, she smiled at him before dominating the kiss. And Alexander, who loved the possessiveness and aggressiveness in her moves, let her dominate him with a smile on his face.

This was how he knew Victoria. Always getting what she wants.

He knew that because of the unfavorable situations, she was under great pressure these days, not to mention with the presence of the three mate bonds, she must be feeling uncomfortable all over.

Hugging her close to his body, he roamed his fingers through her hair, wanting her to relax with his touch.

“Sleep, Victoria. We have a very tough 45 days ahead. Sleep without a tension in the world for the last time.” Alexander mumbled, making her sigh before she drifted off to sleep.
