The Alpha And His Beautiful Monster - Chapter 109

Victoria’s POV

I am no longer shocked that I don’t feel tired even if we have been running for miles, and I know it was because I am a werewolf and no wonder why before I felt different from my classmates. I have always been an outcast, even if I believe l am above everyone else because I was nicknamed the school queen. But not anymore because I am here hiding so far away from Zenith Academy, running away from the life that I have known for eighteen years.

I need to hide from everyone because I know that I could harm them if I go back home; I know I can’t come back yet because I don’t know how to control the hunger that I feel every time I wake up in the morning, and I know the craving is too much for me to handle.

Oliver told me that I would get used to it, but how can I and I know what I am doing is very wrong and against the law of nature. I am grateful that I have Oliver in my life, and he tried everything he could to make me feel normal, just like before.

And spending time with him will always be the best, and sometimes I forget that I am different, and it feels like I am the old me every time I am in his arms. But we cannot avoid talking about the reality, and when he told me that I could be a hybrid, I wanted to scream why I needed to become more different from him.

It terrified me, and I could feel the trembling of my entire body, but I didn’t show any protest because I knew there was nothing I could do about it. All I had to do was take the information slowly and calmly, and I will do my best not to become like those wicked hybrids who loved harming innocent human beings.

If I am a hybrid and I will use my power to help the weak, and that would be my advocacy from now on, even if I know nothing about who I am yet and I wonder how am I going to train using my other powers, and I wished I have ideas how to wield such power.

“Hi, Carrie!” I greeted her while she was cooking something in the kitchen. Oliver was outside watching the ocean, and I wanted to learn everything because I am now away from home, and I didn’t have anything to offer Oliver. I don’t want him to realize one day that I am not worthy of his precious time because I don’t even know how to cook or clean the house.

“Hello, Victoria!” She greeted me back while she was stirring something on the pot.

“Is there anything I can do to help?” I asked her, and Carrie stopped what she was doing, she turned around and faced me while I could see that she was wearing an apron, and I wanted to try wearing an apron, and I guess it would be fun.

“Nothing, Victoria, I am good; your boyfriend instructed me never to allow you to help me with anything.” She said with a wide smile on her face while my face fell.

“Carrie, I wanted to learn things, please, all you have to do is teach me the basics, and he doesn’t need to know. Oliver will go to work soon, so when he is away from home, I can help you with the household chores.” I declared, and she smiled before she went back to what she was doing.

“Okay, but you need to promise me it would be a secret between us.” She responded, and I felt so happy, and I could no longer contain the smile on my face even if I knew she couldn’t see me.

“I promised,” I replied.

“Why are you cooking many dishes? Does Oliver have guests tonight?” I asked when I couldn’t control my curiosity.

Oliver knew I didn’t have an appetite for human food yet. It would be impossible if he asked Carrie to cook a lot of food when he would be the only one to eat the food. I wondered where my father’s men who surrounded the rest house of Oliver would sleep, and then it dawned on me, they don’t need shelter as humans do; all they need to do; is to shift in their wolf form, and they will find refuge in the wilderness.

“Yes, he invited his close friends, and I think you already knew Zane; he will bring his wife.” She said, and I couldn’t stop feeling so excited, Zane is one of us, and his wife is also a werewolf; at last, I could talk to a woman werewolf.

I spent the rest of my afternoon reading novels in the cozy library of Oliver’s house; I smiled when I realized he loved his wolf nature because even his library has a mini jungle set up, there are many plants inside the library. The glass window was facing the forest, and it felt so relaxing when I opened the glass, and I could feel the fresh air tickling on my skin.

And as I was reading the book, I couldn’t stop myself from feeling so sad because I was on the page where two best friends needed to say goodbye to each other, and I suddenly remembered Lana. I don’t want her to worry about me, and I think I will call her now because she is having a hard time. After all, I am sure she thought I didn’t want to speak with her anymore.

If Lana only knew how I wanted to tell her everything about me, but I couldn’t, and I need to keep secrets from her from now on, and I don’t want her to hate me for what I am. It was devastating because she was the only loyal friend I ever had growing up. I know most of my classmates hated me for my beauty and because I am the daughter of Nicklaus Winner.

I picked up my phone from the table, browsed my contacts, and could feel the loud pounding of my heart against my chest. I was looking at Lana’s name for a long time, and I could feel my hands are trembling. Still, in the end, I turned off my phone, and I closed the book I was reading, and I hated myself that I couldn’t even say hi to my best friend, and I felt too afraid to call her.

I got out of the library after closing the window, and I made my way to the living room; I sat on the sofa and picked up the remote from the center table. Still, I don’t even want to watch the news or any tv programs, not even movies and series on Netflix, and why I should bother when I don’t even know how to live my new life yet.

I space out when I noticed I was no longer alone, and I heard voices coming into the living room, and when I stood up, I smiled when I saw Zane with a beautiful woman in his arms, and when she smiled at me, I could tell right away, we could be friends.

Oliver introduced me to Trixie, And I couldn’t stop myself from bombarding her questions, and she is too nice to answer all my queries. I was dining with them, and I envy them for eating their steak, and there are also seafood on the table, and I know if I am on my usual self, I already eat the baked scallops in front of me, but all I can take is small slices of fruits.

“You were a human?” My eyes widened in shock when Trixie told me she was human; we are now sitting on the sand on top of the picnic blanket, while Oliver, together with Noel and Zane, is having a drink on the terrace of his gigantic house, and we could even hear their laughter. I could see many stars glowing in the sky, and I felt so happy tonight.

“Yes, and I fell in love with Zane without knowing he was a werewolf, it was a whirlwind romance, and I laughed when he told me he was a werewolf, and then he shifted in front of me as a wolf, and my world turned upside down,” Trixie said while she was watching intently without fluttering her eyes.

“But love is something you can’t fight, the feelings you will feel for your mate is stronger than the hurricane, especially when you bonded with your mate, and I realized I couldn’t live without him. He became my world, and if at first, I find it so hard to accept, but I know my life will lose its meaning if Zane’s will not be by my side.” She added.

“I know you are having a hard time right now, Victoria, but can you imagine myself? I am human; at least your parents are werewolves. I became a liar, but I couldn’t tell my parents that I became an animal; how could they accept that? My entire family loved and adored Zane, and they don’t need to know the truth for their protection and peace of mind.” She continued, and for the first time, I realized I was so lucky to have my parents.

“It is normal that you will feel angry and betrayed by your parents, but I think they have their reasons, Victoria, and all you have to do is give them time and chance to explain their sides of the story because it is not easy being a werewolf surrounded by humans,” Trixie stated.

“Don’t get me wrong, but I am only telling you this because I know how much they love you, and I am also aware you love them so much.” She muttered, and I felt so guilty for hating my mom and dad this much.

“Maybe they wanted you to enjoy your teenage life without thinking about the future or life of being a werewolf, and I know I couldn’t speak for them, but one thing is for sure, they wanted to protect you,” Trixie added with tenderness.

“I know, thank you, Trixie; talking with you makes me feel better,” I replied.

“Don’t mention it, Victoria, I have been there; it wasn’t easy, especially after your transition, but believe me, once you accept who you are, and you will learn to love your new self, you will have so much fun. All you need to do is let go of all of your worries and uncertainties and accept the reality with an open mind and heart, and everything will be alright.” She stated.

“I will be here for you, Victoria.” She added as she took my hand and held it, and I could feel the peacefulness within myself.

“Do you want to go shopping tomorrow?” She asked, and I couldn’t contain the happiness on my face as I nodded my head. Trixie’s presence made me feel better, and I knew she could help me become a better werewolf because I could relate to her. I realized things would get better now that I had found a new werewolf friend and knowing I have Oliver in my life who loves me for what I am inside out.
