The Alpha And His Beautiful Monster - Chapter 119
Oliver’s POV
As I watched Victoria run, jump, and roll on the ground so we couldn’t catch her, I smiled because I only trained her a little, and I didn’t expect her to be this good, maybe because of her hidden ability. It felt amazing to look at her fight with grace, and I couldn’t believe she would look this hot even if she were fighting us.
I could see the amusement in Noel’s face, and I always love the way he trains anyone, especially the newbies will always find it exciting because Noel is the kind of mentor who has patience and understanding; he will never make you feel discouraged but will give you enough motivation to do each task and exercise.
I gawked at Victoria as she jumped from the tree, and I could tell the rest would wonder how she did it, and I was aware her fairy magic was taking charge. She outsmarted us, and I am so proud of my girlfriend, but when we ran after her, and she got cornered, she used her fairy magic again without knowing it, and I felt so horrified because it was not yet time for them to know her secret.
They have witnessed how her power made Zane and me fly at a reasonable distance, and if we weren’t werewolves, I am sure we would suffer fractured bones and wounds. It would be too late, and we couldn’t undo anything, and I could see the surprised look on Noel’s face while Trixie got perplexed.
Victoria’s face paled when she realized what she had done, and I could see the worries written all over her beautiful face, I smiled as I tried to tell her through my gesture that everything would be alright, and I was sure Noel would understand.
And I realized Victoria’s mom should train her the soonest possible time to avoid things from happening like this. We all leave the forest at once and get inside my house in silence. I could feel Victoria’s nervousness as I held her hand, and when I peeked at her angelic face, she looked so worried.
“Hey, you don’t need to worry, Victoria; everything will be okay,” I assured her as I squeezed her hand.
“What if they hate me and tell the council that I am different?” She asked as we communicated with each other through our minds.
“No, they won’t, and you need to trust me in this,” I responded, and she relaxed a little.
“Is there something you wanted to tell us, Oliver, Victoria?” Noel asked right away after we got inside the library.
“Hmm, Noel, we only learned about her extraordinary power last night when her parents came, and I wanted to tell you Victoria is not a threat to us,” I responded. I informed him all about what Nick had told me, and Noel looked at me for a long time before he spoke.
“How can you prove that Victoria will not harm anyone, Oliver? What happened in the forest could be so dangerous; we only wanted to train her, but she accidentally used her power, and she almost hurt you and Zane.” He responded, and I couldn’t believe Noel would be like this, while I could see the hurt on my girlfriend’s face.
“You have to believe me, Noel; Victoria didn’t intend to hurt us; she doesn’t have any idea about her power yet; after our training today, Victoria will have some exercises with her mother so she can control her fairy magic,” I said, and Noel looked at me. Then he turned his head to look at Victoria.
“I am sorry, but I don’t intend to hurt and disappoint you, Victoria and Oliver. But being one of the elders, I should always think about the common good of our pack members, and it is nothing personal. And you know I will never put the lives of the members of the Valiant pack in danger.” He declared, and I could see the seriousness on his face, and I couldn’t believe he would question Victoria’s power.
“I understand your point, Noel, and I don’t blame you if you have doubts about what I can do, but I can assure you, I will never hurt anyone,” Victoria said as she looked at Noel with pleading in her eyes.
“I know, my dear, but you know what you have done out there, but I am not that heartless, I care about Oliver, and I believe that you are innocent, and it wasn’t your fault if you are different from us, but I hope you will also understand we are talking about the safety of my people,” Noel said.
“I will give you a chance to control your magic, and I will never allow you to meet the rest of the pack members unless you can show it to me that you can control your magic, and if not, I think you should follow what Nicklaus had asked you to do. You should stay away from the werewolves and humans, and you better hide before you can hurt anyone.” Noel added.
“Nick, don’t do this, please; I wanted to introduce her to the rest of our pack members tomorrow night because I wanted to make an important announcement,” I said, and he looked at me with sadness on his face.
“I am sorry, Oliver, even if you are our Alpha, you know what is your obligation to your people, and I don’t need to remind you what are those things that you needed to uphold being the leader of our pack, and as one of the elders have to be fair. I know you are a responsible ruler, and you know what to do.” He responded.
“I will give you one week to master your power, Victoria; if you can control your magic, then I will allow you to stay and be with us, but if not, you need to leave Gallant City at once.” He stated, and Victoria looked at him with her head high.
“Fair enough, I will do everything I can to show you that I deserve to stay and be one of your pack members,” Victoria said, and I know she was hurting inside because I could tell she likes Noel so much. Still, he doubted her capabilities, and Noel was afraid she would harm my pack members.
But I know Victoria is not capable of hurting anyone, and her magic is still new to her. She only found out her true identity last night. And now, my girl is facing another ordeal, and I became more in love with Victoria by how she handled this matter without questioning Noel’s power. She became more mature now, and I liked how she spoke up to Noel.
“And I accepted your challenge, Noel, and I know one week will never be enough to train and to master my abilities, but you are only giving me a little time, and I don’t want to disappoint you, and I hope you will keep our family secret.” She said, and my mentor nodded his head.
“Don’t worry, Victoria, you can trust me that I will never tell anyone about this, and I will bring your father’s secrets on my grave, just promise me, if you can’t control your power, you will leave this place and never come back.” Noel declared.
And I wanted to yell at him, and for the first time, I hated my mentor. How could he ask the woman I loved to leave? He knew how much I loved Victoria, and I was clenching my fists on my side as I looked at him leave the library without taking a second glance after he excused himself.
“I am so sorry, Victoria; I know Noel was out of bounce; he has no right to decide for our pack. I am still the Alpha of Valiant pack.” I said, and she walked towards me and cupped my face while I could see Trixie and Zane were looking at us, and I could still see the shock on their faces.
“It is okay, Oliver; I understand his point. You can’t risk your position, you are their leader, and I think if I can’t master my power with the time frame, he had given me, then I should leave and hide together with my parents, you can’t give up your life just for me, Oliver.” She said, and I could feel the agony in Victoria’s sweet voice.
“Don’t ever say that Victoria; you know I will do everything for you, and I know you can make it in one week; you have to stop your training with us, and you should focus your training with your mother,” responded.
“Yes, you can, Victoria, and don’t worry, we will be here for you,” Trixie said, and then she smiled at my girlfriend. I felt so happy that my best friend and his wife were not afraid of Victoria, and I could see the sympathy on their faces, and I realized they remained loyal to us, and right now I could tell they were our only allies at this moment, and it made me feel better that I still have my best friend.
We ate dinner with Victoria’s parents, but none of us mentioned to them what happened during our training and why Noel suddenly left my estate.
“I know that you are tired from your whole day of training, my dear, but we don’t have enough time. I need to teach you things you needed to learn about your power.” My girlfriend’s mother said.
“I am not tired, mom, we can still have our training, and I am ready, and I don’t care if we need to train until dawn,” Victoria said, and I could see the determination on her face, and I realized how much she wanted to stay in my world.
“Victoria, I know how you wanted to learn, but you grew up as a human, and your body is still adjusting; you needed to rest, my dear, don’t worry, I know you are a fast learner, and I can tell you can master your abilities in less than a week,” Zafirah answered.
I could see the excitement on my girlfriend’s face. I wanted to take her into my arms and tell her she doesn’t need to worry about anything because I would always be with her no matter what.. I felt so delighted to know that Victoria could master her power in less than a week, and there is a big chance she could show to Noel’s face that he was wrong about her.
