My Personal Lycan King - Chapter 158
Chapter-73
VICTORIA’S POV
“Sorry, grandfather. I think I am not in the right condition today. My mind is interpreting things that you aren’t even saying. I felt like you said that my grandma is the one who has initiated this Madeline problem. I think I am having delusions. I think Madeline is playing with my sanity now,” I said, chuckling awkwardly, admitting that I was indeed stressed about this Madeline thing to my grandfather for the first time.
“It is not Madelithene playing with your brains, Victoria. Madeline can’t break this shell unless provoked from outside. It is indeed true. Madeline is Azrael’s elder sister.” My grandfather said, and I couldn’t help but feel a high sense of betrayal running through my veins as my mind registered his words.
“Can we go back to where my mates are? I think they need to hear it as much as I need to,” I said, wanting to be closer to them and feel safe. I don’t know who to trust and who do not.
I don’t even know how to react to this new piece of information. Should I scream in pain, or should I hunt my grandmother down and ask why did she do this to me. I don’t know what was going through my head. All I know is that I was feeling that same blazing fire inside my head, and the sense to destruct something was increasing with each passing second.
I want, no, I need my mates with me to calm me down, or I don’t know what will I do anymore.
The grandma that I trusted the most in the world was the one who was stabbing me in the back. The grandma who I thought was the only one in my family that loved me more than anyone else in the world was the one who was planning to kill me from the very beginning?
What will someone do when everything she believed in was utter bullshit? The person I thought would always be by my side left me alone. The person I thought would never betray me wants to kill me. The person that I thought would be the end of me was the one telling me the truth, and my mates were beyond confused because they didn’t know what was happening and if they will be ever able to get their mate back or not.
It was a complete mess, my life was utter bullshit, and my grandma was the reason for it.
“I thought you would like to hear this out alone, and that’s why I brought you here. However, if this is what you wish, then I’ll take us back,” He said, and I nodded my head.
As soon as I reached back in the hall, my life was almost squeezed out of me when I felt my three mates hugging me and sighing in relief.
“What the hell would you do that for? Do you have any idea how scared we were?” Ashton said to me.
Wait. Do these guys think that it was me who took my grandfather away with me?
I was about to reason with him that it wasn’t my fault when my grandfather coughed loudly, and my attention went back to him. The quietened fire inside me, immediately rising again.
“My grandfather has some information to share with us. Something regarding why Madeline is haunting me,” I said, and everyone’s gaze instantly went towards my grandpa.
“It appears Madeline was my grandma’s elder sister,” I started, urging my grandfather to continue his story.
“Let e begin from starting. Many years ago, a strong witch named Eva had two daughters. The first one was born 12 years earlier than the other. The name of the elder daughter was Madeline and the second one was Azrael. At that time, the gods who had tried to create a hybrid for the first time chosen Madeline because Madeline wasn’t supposed to live more than 25 years. Eva, who came to know about this, worshipped the kings of the white witches, who happened to be my father.
My father gave her the path to worship the gods, and it was exactly what she did. However, the gods who should not even be called one were thinning about this hybrid thing. Seeing their opportunity with this strong witch Madeline, they lied to Eva and told her that her daughter will be saved if she agrees with their terms. At that time, Madeline was only 7 years old,” Grandpa said before walking towards the window of the hall.
“They incorporated the powers in her, and she was a hybrid after they were done with her. Eva thought that her daughter was safe at that time. When Madeline was twelve, Azrael was born. It was a miracle for Eva because witches don’t have another kid for at least thirty years. No kids of a witch have an age difference less than thirty-five years to date. Eva was suspicious about this thing. But her happiness made her ignore this very important information.
Everything was going well because her powers had been suppressed. When Madeline turned eighteen, she met her vampire mate, and things have started to went downhill since then. When the Vampire mate wasn’t able to mark her, he came to know that she doesn’t have one but three mates. Her three mates expected that and they were thinking of how to arrange everything when during a spell practice she came to know that Madeline’s life span was still 25 years. She was confused and went to see the gods.
There they refused to meet her. When Madeline came to know about this, she was beyond angry.” My grandpa said, and I looked at my three mates, who had the same concerned expression on their faces.
Does that mean Madeline is not wrong and that she has suffered under the hands of gods just like how she is suffering?
Does that mean we will have to face the gods if we want to come out of this circular mess of hybrids?
