The Alpha And His Beautiful Monster - Chapter 114

Oliver’s POV

I could see the happiness on Victoria’s face as we ate our lunch, and she was talking with Trixie with enthusiasm. I hadn’t seen her this happy after she learned she was different from her classmates, and I know my girl liked Zane’s wife, and she is enjoying herself. I was shocked when she handed me a paper bag before we left my office, and I couldn’t believe she brought me homemade doughnuts and cooked them just for me.

And when our lunch was over, I didn’t want to go back to my office, but I knew I still had so many things to do, and Zane would hate me if I did not go back. I kissed my girlfriend goodbye and watched Trixie drive her car, and I could feel the emptiness in my heart.

“Do you understand now what I mean about having a mate, Oliver?” Zane asked.

“Hell, yeah, and I hate that I couldn’t be with her this afternoon,” I answered.

“Let the girls have fun, buddy, let my wife help your girlfriend to understand our nature, and I am sure Victoria will love this world we are living in,” Zane said, and I know my best friend was right.

“Besides, our place is still free from hybrids, and Nick’s men are always following Victoria without her knowledge, even if we know she can protect herself,” Zane added. I nodded at him, and I got inside my car, my best friend settled beside me on the front seat, and I drove away from the restaurant feeling more hopeful that Victoria would be alright.

It feels like the afternoon dragged on forever, and I couldn’t stop myself from looking at my wristwatch now and then; I was also checking my phone from time to time, hoping I had a message from Victoria, and I remember she didn’t charge her mobile phone.

“So eager to pick up your girlfriend?” Zane said the moment he found me running in the parking lot, and I couldn’t believe he was already waiting for me near my parking slot, and I smiled at him.

“Of course, I even wanted to pull the time so that I can be with her,” I responded as I opened my car panting, and I realized I no longer cared if I would look like a fool for being so crazy over a girl.

“That is good to know, Oliver.” He responded with a wide grin on his face.

“When will you introduce Victoria to the rest of the elders?” Zane asked, and I knew I could trust him with my life since we promised to be there for each other, and I couldn’t stop myself from releasing a heavy sigh.

“I don’t know, I felt so afraid for Victoria’s safety, Zane; I know there is a big chance that Victoria is not only a werewolf,” I replied, and I could see the surprise looked on his face as he turned his head to look at me as I drove away from the parking lot of our office.

“What do you mean by that, Oliver?” He asked.

“I know you will never betray me, and I could trust you, and there is no one else I can speak about these things; I saw Victoria use her inner power, and I witnessed how her fingertips release electricity that made the hybrid flee when she used her power on him.” I declared as he was listening to me intently.

“Oh, that is interesting!” He exclaimed.

“I know, but it could cause us trouble, she is my mate, Zane, and I couldn’t take it if something happened to her, and I don’t want the elders to find out about her ability; it would be too risky,” I replied.

“Of course, don’t worry, Victoria’s secrets would be safe with me, and you were right; it would be best to warn your girlfriend not to use that kind of power,” Zane said as he looked at me sideways.

“I already instructed her, but the problem is she didn’t even know how it happened; maybe if she were in danger, her instinct to save herself would trigger her power.” He added.

“You could be right, Zane, and I don’t know what happened to the hybrid who almost took Victoria during her hunt at the forest since no other enemies came after us, and If he came back to Zenith and reported what he had witnessed, I am sure they already use tracking spell,” I added.

“You better ask Nick’s men; maybe they keep them captive after he became so weak after Victoria used her power on him without even knowing about it, and he didn’t get the chance to return to their camp on Zenith mountains.” My best friend replied, and he could be right.

“You can have dinner with us in our house, Oliver,” Zane said after a long silence.

“Maybe some other time, buddy. I had plans with my girlfriend tonight.” I responded right away, and he nodded his head and smiled at me.

“Of course, you need to enjoy your time with Victoria.” He stated.

“I know we have so little time together here in Gallant even if I wanted to show her around, and there are so many tourist spots I want to visit with here. But I am so afraid if she will call Lana, and the moment Victoria learns the truth about what is happening in Zenith, I am sure she will never have a second thought to return to Zenith and save her classmates or anyone who needed her help.” I declared.

“That is possible, and I am sure she will never hesitate to save them even if she doesn’t know how to use her magic yet, and I think before Victoria can make a call to Lana, we should train her, at least your girlfriend will learn the basic skills in fighting, and depending herself during battle is the most important factor she needs to learn first,” Zane responded.

“Yeah, I know, I already asked Noel, and if you and Trixie could sleep at my house and train Victoria with you every morning, I think we can help her to learn faster, and I know your wife can give her some pointers, and I am sure she will listen to Trixie because she was a human before you turned her as one of us,” I said.

“Okay, if that is what you want, we will be there at your house tonight, but allow me to have a date with my wife first,” He replied, and I darted a glance at him and smiled.

“Thank you, buddy,” I mumbled.

“Don’t mention it, Oliver; you are like a brother to me, my alpha.” He uttered, and we fell silent for the rest of our ride; Zane called his wife when we reached the mall’s parking lot. I couldn’t stop smiling when I saw Victoria carrying so many paper bags, and I ran towards her and took all the bags from her hands, and I realized she must miss shopping so much, and I could see the happiness on her beautiful face.

“Did you have a good time?” I asked the moment we left the mall, and she was smiling from ear to ear.

“Yes, and I felt so glad, Trixie loves shopping too, and I bought her bags and dresses too, she wanted to pay, but I insisted on paying for everything she bought since she made me feel so happy today.” She declared, and her enthusiasm made me smile.

“I am sorry, Victoria, I don’t want to keep you away from the Metropolis because I know how much you love the city, and we could stay at my penthouse, but we need to stay near the forest for your safety.” I declared.

“Hey, you don’t need to apologize, Oliver; I am always happy when I am with you, but enjoying with a friend will always have a different level of gratification, and having girls talk would always brighten my day, and I am so glad I met Trixie and talking to someone who understands me makes me feel better,” Victoria responded as she put her head on my shoulder. I grinned as I took her hand, and I was driving in high spirits knowing Victoria had enjoyed her day.

It was almost six o’clock in the evening when we arrived home since we caught up with the heavy traffic in the city. I smiled when I realized my girlfriend must be so tired from shopping with Trixie because she fell asleep on my shoulder as we were on our way home; I woke her up slowly when we arrived home. We got inside the house with shopping bags in our hands, and I was shocked when she handed me a paper bag after we got inside tha master’s bedroom.

“What is this, Victoria?” I asked, confused.

“That is for you, Oliver, and I hope you will like it,” she replied, and I could see that her face was blushing.

“Thank you so much, and I am going to love anything that you will give me, Victoria,” I responded as I moved and grabbed her closer to me, and I kissed my girlfriend softly on the lips, and we made out until her lips got swollen from my kisses.

I asked her to come and have dinner with me, and I could see the hesitation on her face because I knew she still didn’t have an appetite to eat human food.

“Where are we going, Oliver? You said we would eat dinner, but why did you take me outside and walk towards the…” Victoria’s words died on her lips when she saw a comfy picnic blanket spread over the white sand, and the sparkling light of the candles with the sound of the waves hitting the shore made the ambiance more romantic.

“Wow! It’s beautiful!” She exclaimed, and I could see the excitement on her face as she looked at me, and then she returned her focus on the picnic blanket and towards the rattan basket filled with delicious food as I yanked her with me.

We sat down across from each other, and I carefully took out the food from the basket; I could see her watching the food in front of us for a long time before seeing a beautiful smile plastered on her angelic face.

“Thank you, Oliver, I didn’t expect you will prepare a romantic dinner for us, and I felt so happy, and believe it or not, I didn’t expect my mouth will water the moment I smelled the aroma of the food Carrie cooked for us, and I could feel the craving for human food right now, and I couldn’t wait to take a bite of the Shrimp Tempura and the Squid Calamari..” She said, and my smile broadened, and I felt glad Victoria could finally control her cravings for fresh meat.
