My Personal Lycan King - Chapter 128
Chapter-43
It has been a few hours since Alexander and Ashton left her alone, and all Victoria could think about was how fucked up her life has become. The constant fear of what will happen next or what problems will appear in her life was clawing her?
They assured her that they will find a way for them to get their mates back and for her to live happily ever after, but could she trust them on this?
Standing in front of the large mirror, she looked at her reflection, smiling ironically at how beautiful she was.
A beauty that could not be defined in words.
She was not this beautiful yesterday when she had checked herself in the full-length mirror after taking a bath, but she was beautiful now. The only reason she could find for her enhanced beauty was the presence of Emerald that she was yet to meet.
“Emerald, welcome to the twisted world of Victoria,” Victoria said, roaming her fingers on the mirror at her reflection.
Once she said those words, it wasn’t long before she felt her fangs elongating. Touching her fangs, dazed, she smiled when the sharp thing cut her finger, and a little blood oozed out from her finger before it was healed again.
“It’s a pleasure to be in the body of a Hybrid again.” She heard a velvety soft voice in her mind, and from the strangeness of the voice, she knew it was emerald talking to her.
Smiling at her reflection as if nodding at Emerald, she turned around and sat on the bed, gazing at the ceiling expressionlessly.
Last time she thought that her death would solve all the problems, but now that she has heard the full story from Ashton, she knew that killing herself was not even close to a solution.
She will die, the powers will be segregated again, but in the future, the same thing will happen again.
She has already suffered soo much in her life that she didn’t want anyone else to suffer like this, and thus, she knew that she needs to find a permanent solution to this problem.
Closing her eyes, she laid back in the bed, her head swirling around the possibilities that she could use to solve this matter for once and all.
As her mind started to drift far away in the space of her mind, she saw an immensely beautiful lady standing in a white gown. Her back was facing Victoria, but from her posture, she knew that the lady was beautiful.
She was weird.
Not because she was wearing a white gown or because she was very beautiful, but because she has large golden wings.
Was she some kind of angel? Well, that was indeed the last thing she was yet to see.
Honestly, she has seen so many changes in herself that she won’t be surprised if someone comes and tells her that she has the essence of an angel too.
Rolling her eyes at her own sarcasm, she looked ahead and walked further in the clouds.
“Hello, who are you?” Victoria asked, feeling a bit edgy when the lady didn’t turn around even after she spoke to her.
“Hello?” Victoria asked again, widening her eyes when she suddenly saw her right in front of her eyes.
“Well, hello, Victoria.” The lady said, her eyes boring into Victoria’s, giving her a creepy vibe.
“How do you-” Victoria started but felt tongue-tied suddenly.
“-Know that you are Victoria? I know everything, girl. I see that after soo many years, these gods finally decided to test these multiple powers again. It was a failure on me, but are they sure it will be a successful thing with you?
You are such a dumb girl, Victoria. God has gifted you with soo many powers. You can practically make your own army and make all the species of the bright world and dark world bow down to you, but rather than doing that, here you are entangled between those mates of yours and this stupid love.
If I were you, I would kill all three of them and become the Queen and Ruler of all the three species.” The lady said, more like hissed in her ears.
Kill her mates? Why does she feel like she has heard of this thing before too?
“Ma-Madeline?” Victoria asked, her eyes widening when she saw the white gown of the lady turning black and her feathers turning a dirty shade of dark grey and blue.
“The one and only, sweetheart. You know, they did wrong to me. First, they made me, tested me, and when the war stopped because of me, and I wanted something for myself, they snatched everything from me. Was that fair?
But it’s okay. I knew I will be given a chance someday, and this is my chance. I will take over your body and will tell them who’s the boss. I am not the innocent Madeline who came in their trap.” Madeline laughed, gripping Victoria’s neck in a tight hold.
“You are not innocent, Madeline. You deserved to die in the first place.” Victoria said, clawing on Madeline’s hands for her to leave her neck.
“What? I deserved to die! You bitch! I will tell you who deserves to die. Your wussy weak soul is not supposed to live in this strong body with soo many powers anyways. Only a strong personality like me should enjoy the powers of soo many species. Let me tell the world how to rule the world.” Madeline said before she lifted Victoria in the air and then slammed her on the ground, her hand pressing on Victoria’s neck.
Victoria, on the other hand, who felt short of breath, tried to muster all the energy she could and kicked Madeline away from her body before rolling and taking deep breaths.
“You!” Madeline shouted and got back on her body to drain the life out of her, making her gasp for air as her face starts to become pale.
‘Victoria!’
‘Damn it! Why isn’t she waking up!’
‘Something is wrong with her.’
‘It looks like she is struggling with something.’
‘Why is she shaking soo much?’
‘Appears a nightmare to me.’
‘Victoria wake up!’
‘For god’s sake, Jasmine! Open your eyes!’
‘Emerald, wake up love.’
‘Victoria, my child, sorry mom is late. Please wake up and forgive me.’
The last voice caught her attention as she concentrated on getting out of her mind, trying her best to not let Madeline get her way with her.
“Haha… I’ll let you go today, but you are warned, Victoria. I’ll take your place sooner or later. I’ll be waiting for you to close your eyes and sleep again so that I can help you go in a long deep forever sleep.” Madeline laughed in mockery.
After what felt like an eternity but was some time, she sat abruptly, gasping for air.
She was so afraid that she didn’t see who the person near her was and grabbed his hand before stuffing her face in his chest as she hugged him tightly and sobbed.
Daniel Neptune, who was trying to treat her and wake her, stood there frozen when she hugged him like this. It was like a dream come true for him. This was the first time she was hugging him in all these years, and he couldn’t help but feel happy about it.
“Sshhh….it’s okay. It was a bad dream.” He said, his heart feeling a slight pain when he felt her sobbing.
Alexander and Ashton, on the other hand, who felt jealous of Neptune, and wanted to console her, looked at each other before shaking their heads and sighing. Now was not the time to get jealous.
“Now, tell me what happened?” Neptune said, scooting down to her level and looking in her scared eyes.
Opening her eyes as she gazed at familiar turquoise eyes, she felt her mind going in a strange halo again, her fear lessening now. Maybe it was some kind of spell he was doing for her to calm down, but whatever it was, it was working very efficiently on her.
After taking a few breaths, she calmed when Neptune placed his hand on her cheek.
“I…I saw Madeline. She is here.” Victoria paused before continuing,
“She tried to kill me and take my place.” She finished, hugging Neptune tightly again as she felt sacred at the thought of it only.
Neptune, who wasn’t good at this hugging and consoling thing since this was his first time hugging someone, looked at Alexander and Ashton awkwardly, who though was jealous, still wanted to laugh at his awkwardness.
“Here, give her to me,” Alexander said before he took the shaking form of Victoria from Neptune’s hand and picked her in his arms before placing her softly on his lap, letting her hug him.
After he was sure that Victoria was not that scared, Neptune stood up before smiling,
“I think I found the solution to this problem. And it’s called Madeline.” Neptune said, making everyone look at him with squinted brows.
