My Personal Lycan King - Chapter 151
VICTORIA’S POV
Alexander? I am sure I heard Alexander’s voice. What is he doing here? How did he reach here? Is everything okay with the kingdom? Has my grandfather come to visit him?
Many questions were swirling inside my head, and as darkness was consuming me, it was as if something or particularly someone was stopping me from entering the dark abyss.
But what could it be? The magic was nothing like Neptune’s magic. While Neptune’s magic appeared cold and soothing, this magic was something warm that was filling my heart with care and love.
Someone who knows that I am not allowed to sleep. Someones who loves me and is afraid that something will happen to me.
After a constant struggle of being on the verge of losing my consciousness and groaning as I held onto that someone’s healing powers, I finally opened my eyes when someone lifted my body.
“Alexander?” I mumbled, my voice coming out weaker than I had intended.
“I am right here, sweetheart. No one will be able to hurt you while I am in the picture,” He said, and Knowing I am safe in his arms, I leaned my body further into him before taking a deep breath.
The unknown powers healing me more quickly than my own should’ve.
After a few seconds, when I was placed on the soft mattress of a bed, I finally opened my eyes, my gaze landing on Daniel, who had an apologetic look on his face and then at Ashton, who looked at me worriedly.
“Don’t tell me there is more training. I am tired as hell, and feel dead like a wooden log,” I said, wanting to ease some of their tensions.
The smile that appeared on both of their faces was enough of a reward for me. I know that whatever they did today was for my wellness, and though things were a little hard, I know they only wanted to tell me how tough this training is going to be, and more than that, what will it be like to fight in a real fight with the oldest witch on Earth.
“Now that we know she is fine, would you like to tell us what are you doing here, Alexander?” Daniel asked, and I turned to my right, where Alexander was entering my room with a serious look on his face.
“I missed her. I don’t know why but I had this feeling yesterday that something wasn’t right with her. And I was indeed right. Why did you not tell me that you were attacked by the rogues, Victoria?” Alexander asked me, his serious gaze telling me that now was not the time to joke around with him.
“Haha… I was about to tell you that after my training-, What is grandma Azrael doing here?” I asked as I felt her presence near me, and as soon as I said that, Azrael appeared in my room.
“I asked her to teleport me here,” Alexander said, looking sheepishly at Daniel, who had a pissed expression on his face.
“Didn’t I mention to not rat about this plan to anyone? How could you?” Daniel asked, taking Alexander by the collar.
“I had to come here anyhow. She was the best way to reach here as soon as possible, and thus, I didn’t hesitate twice to call her for help. Besides, she is her grandma! She would never hurt her.” Alexander said, evening out his collar before looking at me.
“It looks like someone is treating me as an outsider and is keeping me from helping my granddaughter,” Azrael said, and Daniel rolled his eyes at her.
The tension in the room was increasing, and I didn’t know if I should mention that my ribs were hurting or not. Feeling her presence near me, I don’t know why but I felt she was a little bit off today. Also, the warm magic that was healing me, didn’t belong to her. Her magic never had that kind of effect on me. This was a new experience for me. I wanted to discuss it with Daniel, but as he has mentioned, I didn’t want to talk about it in front of outsiders.
I know my grandma Azrael has always cared for me and that she would never think or do anything bad for me. But seeing how things have not been working out for us like something is always interrupting us, I didn’t want to ask about something good in the open. What if someone hears it, and things start to turn their backs on us again?
Call me a girl with trust issues, but that was what it was.
“You were unreachable and were unable to contact. There was soo many times when I needed you, and you weren’t there to help me out. Where were you all this time?” I asked, looking at my grandma, who was in a glaring competition with Daniel, who looked like he didn’t care about anything in the world and would take down anyone who dares defy him.
I gazed at her closely, and the brief cold look that passed through her eyes was something that I didn’t like for a single moment.
I know I wasn’t capable of protecting my three mates, who were kings of three different species, but it doesn’t mean I would like someone to glare at them just like that, even if that someone was none other than my grandma.
“I was busy finding a cure to my granddaughter’s problems. That was the main reason why I was unreachable. Besides, the fact that I was finding the cure among the books that were in the witch kingdom inside the library owned by Christopher, things weren’t exactly easy for me.” My grandma explained, and I don’t know why but for the first time, I didn’t want to believe her.
“So you were indeed a captive of my grandfather,” I commented, and Daniel looked towards me, maybe already knowing that I wasn’t believing her.
“We need to discuss this alone,” I tried to tell him through my eyes, and it looked like he understood me because the next thing I know, everyone dropped the topic, and a new topic regarding how bad I was during my training started.
Why would they say it like that? I tried my best. I thought before pouting and covering my face with a duvet, wanting to hide from the embarrassment.
