nALEXANDER'S POV

n'What has gotten inside her brain?' Was the only thing I could think of when she told me not to talk to her.

nI mean, was she alright? This wasn't how her reaction should be after I saved her life two days back, no?

nCurrently, I was confused because I didn't know why Victoria was giving me a cold shoulder today.

n

"You must've done something wrong. You always screw things anyways. Huh!! She is always happy with me, be it in Human form or my wolf form.

" Thunder commented, making me more annoyed than I already was.

nDid I mention that I was also feeling super jealous since that fight in front of the club?

nLet me tell you what happened that day.

nOnce, Miss Azrael told me that there was something wrong with the drinks, I had asked everyone to throw away all the drinks and vomit out the drink, who have drank it.

nThough I was giving them instructions, I was having this constant bugging feeling that something wasn't right.

n

"There is something wrong with our mate. I feel like she is in some danger.

" Thunder had warned me at that time.

n

"Shut up, you are just a lovesick puppy who always wants to be with your mate, but, you need to understand that being the to be alpha king, we have to look after our pack first and then at our motives.

" I reprimanded him, to which he only growled at me.

nThough I was telling him to concentrate on the duties, I can't deny the fact that even I was having this uneasy feeling of something being wrong with her.

nI have to get this over with so that I can check up on her as soon as possible.

n

"Is everything in control?

" I asked Daniel and once he gave the nod of approval, I ran out of the club towards the direction where I had seen her going.

nAs I was getting deeper inside the forest, I could feel the feeling of dread settling in my heart as I smelled blood.

nWith thunder pacing inside me, urging me to rush towards our mate, I followed the scent of blood, and it wasn't long before I reached there.

nThe first thing that came to my notice were the bodies of the dead man sprawled on the ground, heavily wounded. I was observing their bodies closely to see if that was an animal attack or what when I suddenly heard the noise of people fighting.

nI looked towards my left, from where the noise of rustling of leaves was coming and tiptoed in the direction.

nThe scent of Victoria was strongest here and I hated to say it, but, I was feeling fearful, afraid of what I will see here.

nAs I turned around the trees, the sight that came in front of me, angered me soo much, that before I could try to control it, thunder took over my body.

n

"Thunder! Come back! She doesn't know about us, yet! You can't just change your form like that! She will be scared for life! I promise I won't spare anyone who tried to hurt our mate and will kill them brutally, please don't scare her more than she already is.

" I yelled from inside whole thunder just looked at me with red eyes, indicating he was too angry to care right now.

nI know our mate's safety was more important in this scenario, and that was the main reason why I was stopping thunder. I didn't want her to get scared of us and run for life.

n

"Does fighting them needs me changing into a wolf? I am powerful enough.

" Thunder words echoed in my head, before he or should I say, I jumped in front of my mate who was about to be stabbed by a man.

nDismembering his hands, thunder immediately hugged her, in a protective gesture.

n'Gone. Everything is finished. She will hate us from now on.' I thought as I looked at how Thunder had dismembered the person.

nI was about the ask, thunder to come back and let me take over the body so that I can still handle the situation, but before I could do that, I heard thunder speaking in his deep voice,

n

"Sshh...I am here. No one will be able to touch you or hurt you anymore, my mate.

"

nI looked at our mate, waiting for her to push back thunder away from her and scream in horror, but to my surprise, none of that happened.

nShe was getting shy listening to thunder's words of comfort as if her long lost lover had come to save her, as she looked at him with doe-like eyes.

n'Shy' for god's sake!!

nAnd for all the time I saved her ass from all the trouble, what did I get in return? She would always get angry at me or fight me!

nEven though she doesn't know that it's Thunder inside the body, she is still siding with him. Her favouritism for thunder is beyond me. Seriously!

nI looked at how Thunder dismembered and killed everyone who was there to kill our mate and how our mate was watching him in amazement.

nShouldn't she be feeling disgusted? How the hell does her brain works?

nI think she has a thing for a macho man or something for her to react like that.

nI practically sat there watching how thunder was flirting with our mate and she was acting all innocent and shy. She even tore his, or should I say my shirt to check for the wounds.

nShe never did that when I was in control of the body! I watched how she roamed her soft hands on my chest, while thunder was looking at her as if it was taking him a lot of efforts to not kiss her then and there.

nIf that would've been some other person, I would've probably tried to kill him, but can I kill my own body?

nAfter that, thunder sent her back home safely and they almost kissed, if not for thunder being righteous because he didn't want to try anything before I tell her everything.

nYeah! You heard that right. We almost kissed!

nAll in all, the point of all this talk was, that, Victoria didn't know whether it was thunder or Me inside the body. Then, why was she acting cold to me now?

n

"Hey! You've been calling me thunder for quite some time. Have you forgotten my real name?

" Thunder asked.

n

"No, but don't you like this name because our mate calls you that,

" I asked.

n

"Well, that's true.

" Thunder or should I say hunter shrugged.

nRolling my eyes at his behaviour I came back to the present, where Daniel was saying something and I suddenly heard Victoria's name.

n

"What about Victoria?

" I asked.

n

"You didn't hear anything I said?

" Daniel asked as we moved towards the canteen.

n

"Oh, I was thinking about something

nYou tell me, what you were saying earlier.

" I urged.

n

"Nothing much. I received a message from Chris. I had asked him to ask Victoria if she was going to prom with someone, and luckily, she doesn't have a partner.

" Daniel said smiling.

nThe prom! That's right! I am still to ask Victoria to be my partner for the night! With her being so angry with me, how will I be able to do that?

n

"And?

" I asked confused, shifting my focus back to Daniel.

nWhat has Victoria not having a partner got to do with him?

n

"I am thinking of asking her out,

" Daniel said causally.

nHearing his words, I could feel thunder feeling possessive, as he clawed at me to come out.

n

"Don't!

" I shouted at him. The word was for thunder, to stop him from clawing at me to come out, however looks like it worked for Daniel too, making him widen his eyes in surprise.

nGlaring at everyone to go with their work, I looked back at Daniel, as I looked him straight in the eyes to make my point clear.

n

"Don't bother with that. I am her partner. She is going with me.

" I said as I started to move.

n

"Do you have feelings for her?

" Daniel asked out of the blue and I couldn't help but pause at his question.

nDid I like her? People have been asking me this question quite a lot.

nWhen I didn't say anything, he continued,

n

"Well, I was asking because I am planning to propose to her today after the dance. Wish me luck. yeah?

" He said before running towards our friends who were calling him while playing some game.

nIt was not until he was out of my sight, did I realised, what he meant. He is going to propose to her today?

nAs soon as I heard his words, the flashback of Victoria smiling and laughing with him, starting surfacing in my head and I couldn't help but feel the fear of losing her if she says yes to him.

n

"I have never seen such a coward, seriously. You are a freaking alpha king! She is your mate and you are afraid of proposing to her. How are you even able to stay calm, after hearing, that some other man is going to propose to her?

" Thunder reprimanded me that added fuel to my anger.

n

"Shut up okay! I am gonna ask her out today myself. With me in the picture, I will make sure that she doesn't say yes to Daniel even if she denies me.

" I said with finality, my voice becoming deep because of the contained anger.
