Chapter-58

VICTORIA'S POV

"Neptune, I umm… I know you are feeling a bit emotional, but if you are hoping that I will console you or anything, then I think you are expecting it from the wrong person because I am really bad at this job.

" I said after some time when I started to feel a little bit awkward with him hugging me like this and crying.

There was nothing wrong with him crying on my shoulder, but the fact that I didn't know what to say to him at a time like this was what unnerving me. What the hell was wrong with me? How would I feel if I am crying on someone’s shoulder, and that person is sitting like astute?

Seriously, as a future Queen of Pearly Canines, I should be at least empathetic to people, but I don't even know how to console a crying person.

What kind of crappy queen will I turn into?

I bet Alexander will have to handle a lot of things on my side too.

"I know that, sweetheart. I didn't expect you to console me either. And I wasn't crying. It's just that sometimes when I feel stuffed with emotions, my eyes start to leak water.

" Neptune said, and honestly, this was one of the most childish things I have ever heard.

Do eyes start to leak water? As far as I know, it was called crying. I wanted to say, but knowing that it may hurt his pride, I control myself from saying something like that.

Keeping aside the fact that he was the king of dark witches, he was still a kid by heart. Be it his childish banters with Alexander or his possessiveness over things that he calls his.

"Whatever helps you sleep at night, big boy,

" I mumbled, wanting to tease him a little before closing my eyes, still wrapped in his arms, feeling nothing but safe and sound.

"I so terribly want to sleep,

" I mumbled again, knowing all too well that his attention was on me.

His attention is always on me whenever I am around.

"Well, if it makes you feel any better, then let me remind you if you sleep, Madeline will take over you, and you will be as good as dead,

" Neptune said.

"Well, it will indeed help me in keeping my eyes open wide. Thanks for the motivation.

" I rolled my eyes at him, looking out towards the forest.

“My pleasure,” He said before sitting straight.

I don't know if it was just me or because I was a little bit panicked about going into a new kingdom, but there was this constant feeling in my heart that something bad was about to happen to us.

"I think we should take a rest for some time. Let me see if I can find my witch friend, whose Magna I can feel in the air. I have also checked the place with my spell, and I didn't find anything wrong with it. I think this should do. This place is okay with you, right?

" Neptune asked me, making me look out of the window again as the unsettling feeling in my heart took another acceleration.

However, I was still to know what was unsettling me. Maybe I was going away from Alexander like this and will have to train rigorously to fight my grandfather was the reason for it.

"Whatever that suits you,

" I said before opening the door of the car and stepping my foot on the ground.

Feeling the slight swoosh and my gut-wrenching with this word feeling, I understood that it wasn’t just a random bad feeling because of separation from Alexander.

Something was wrong with this place. I don’t know what it is, I can't exactly pinpoint anything, but there is something in the air that was telling me that this place wasn't as safe as Neptune was making it sound.

But he said he will talk to a witch friend quickly. I think I can bear with this feeling till then.

"What place is this exactly?

" I couldn't help but ask.

"I don't exactly know its coordinates since the car is under the spell, and it is taking us to our destination through the best route. However, this should be somewhere around a pack along with the names of black or something like that.

I am not exactly familiar with all the packs’ names. And I don't want to conduct a spell for a thing as small as this. I will ask my witch friend about it, okay? I can feel her Magna. She is not that far from here.

" Neptune said before looking around and then nodding his head at something in agreement.

"Why don't you wait here for me? Let me go, and ask her if we can stay here for some time. You must be hungry too.

" Daniel said before he disappeared in thin air.

Looking around the large tree that looked slightly familiar to me, I was surprised when I heard rustling from around me.

Now, who can that be? Please be an animal and nothing else that might increase my problems.

Turning around, I stepped towards the bushes to see who it was.

Daniel said that the place was okay. It should be an animal only.

Following the sound that I know was probably a mistake because I don't know my way around here, I ran towards the sound as it was moving in a particular direction. Initially, I didn’t want to go, but this nagging feeling that something was wrong kept me going.

It didn’t take me long to know why I was having this bad feeling in my gut that something wrong was going to happen.

As soon as I reached a clearing I saw more than 15 wolves baring their teeth at me.

Now, what the hell do they want from me?

I am sure my skimpy body is not enough food for all those 15 wolves, and their eyes that were looking at me didn’t look like they have lured me here just for food. If I was right, then they wanted to kill me.

I don't know if they want to kill me just because I came here or because they were trying to kill me earlier too, but whatever it was, I knew one thing.

And that is, I need to get out of here as soon as possible.

Turning around, I was about to run in the direction from where I came. However, as soon as I took few steps, my body collided with someone, making me land on my butt harshly.

Now, what the hell that might be?! The girl is trying to run for her life, can't anyone see that! I wanted to shout.

Dusting my hands, feeling annoyed, I looked up, visibly surprised when I saw the face of the person I have bumped into.

The person was none other than my so-called long-lost friend Brian.

You guys can hear the sarcasm there, can't you?

So let me properly introduce him.

Name- Brian

Species- Werewolf

Type- Rogue

Feud- I killed his brother, more like assassinated his brother in a not so pleasant manner, which I must mention was for a good cause because I was saving a girl from getting raped by his nasty brother.

Well, it was technically Jasmine's doing, but knowing how she is inside my body and a part of me, I am considered equally responsible for it, right? And, seeing Brian standing like that in front of me, I think I will be the one paying for it too.

"Jasmine, it’s a pleasant surprise, no?” He said, and I wanted to shake my head but waited for him to say more.

“I have finally gotten a hold of you. Let's see who will save your ass from my claws now.

" Brian shouted, his Mal intentions visible in his eyes.

Murder!

"Uh… Haha… Dude, I think you got the wrong person here. I am Victoria. Victoria Gibberson, mate of Alexander Hunter, your future Queen.

" I tried, thinking it will see through things.

It wasn't like I was afraid of him or the 15 teeth-baring wolves standing behind me. The reason I was trying to ignore this confrontation was that I didn't want to waste my energy on this nincompoop, who will make me tired.

And given how I wasn't in a good mood these days, I didn't want this to turn into a massacre.

"I think you have forgotten me, my highness. I think a throw here and there will help you remember who I exactly am.

" Brian said, and I couldn't help but sigh at that.

Huh! It looks like I don't have a choice here.
