The Alpha And His Beautiful Monster - Chapter 120
Victoria’s POV
“Are you ready, my dear?” My mom asked me the moment we were alone in the basement of Oliver’s house.
“I don’t know, mom; it seems like the things happening around me are getting intense every day, and I don’t even know where to put myself. I am so afraid I will fail, and all I want is to live the life that I used to even if you weren’t always around; at least everything around me felt so normal.” I responded, and my mom took my hand, and I could feel the soothing sensation that traveled from my fingertips down to my spine.
My mother instructed me to close my eyes and feel the power within me, and I thought it would be so easy. Still, it feels like hours before I could feel the flow of my energy on my veins, and it feels like I was ready to burst when I opened my eyes, I realized I was no longer on the ground, and I was hovering on the air, and I could see the beautiful smile on my mother’s face.
And then I panicked, and I lost my balance; then I plummeted into the air headfirst, but my mom was able to catch me on time, and I felt so frustrated that I couldn’t even remain floating on air.
“I don’t know if I can make it, mom. It feels impossible,” I said as I tried to get up on my feet.
“This is too much, and I hate that my life suddenly turned into chaos.” I blurted out, and I could no longer stop myself from feeling so down.
“Victoria, I understand how you feel right now, and I know you are trying your best to accept what is going on, but it wouldn’t be that easy, my dear. I left my world because of my curiosity about other realms, and my curiosity about what lies beyond our world made me stumble with your father, and I fell in love without knowing I will be living in fear every day.” She declared.
“I felt scared that one day my father would come and take me, and worse, your father will die because of me, and when I became a werewolf, I was able to control the pain because I have my power, and my transition doesn’t bother me at all, but eating fresh meat send me to the edge, and I wanted to stay away and go back to my world.” She added.
“But what can I do? The hottest Alpha imprisoned me with his heart, and I realized I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him, and I didn’t care if I would become so different from everyone else and hide my true nature from them. I had my social life, but I needed to be vigilant at all times, and I have to be careful with all the things I do.” She continued.
“When the curse started, it was the worse day of our lives, and I don’t want to leave you because you are still young, and it breaks my heart every time I say goodbye to you, but I don’t have a choice but protect your father, and your safety is what matters the most.” She stated.
“And right now, you need to master your own power, my dear, to have a normal life. I don’t want you to keep hiding just like what we did for the past eighteen years; I am tired, my dear.” She softly said as she cupped my face.
“What should I do, mom?” I asked.”I don’t know how strong your power can be because you are a half-breed, but I think you can tame your werewolf side, and all you need to do is total concentration.” She responded.
“Take it easy, try again, don’t stress yourself.” She added.
“Mom, I need to master my fairy magic in less than a week,” I said as I faced my mother the moment I think of Oliver; I could feel the determination taking over my senses.
“You don’t need to force yourself, Victoria; it would help if you let go of your worries and focus. Don’t worry about what is happening around you; nothing will happen to you, my dear; we are all here for you. And you don’t need to give yourself a timeline to master your power because it will come naturally.” My mother said.
“But dad said we don’t have time; what does he mean by that, mom? Is something going to happen?” I asked, and I could see the looked on my mom’s face. Still, she quickly tried to his her worried expression from me, and I could tell that something was going on in Zenith, but my parents were hiding it from me, and they were afraid if I would do something about it, and I am sure they will never tell me what is going on.
“There is nothing you should worry about, my dear, I am aware you already know about the hybrids who are hunting you, but no one aside from us and your father’s men knew about this location, and what is important is you are safe, your dad and I will never allow anything to happen to you, Victoria, we love you so much.” My mother responded.
And I smiled at her, if I didn’t know the truth why they always leave me alone in our mansion, I am sure I could still feel the bitterness in my heart, but after I had discovered my parents’ secrets, I quickly forgot everything that happened including the pain they have caused me, and I forgive my mom and dad. And I wanted to keep them safe, and that is why I am so desperate to wield my fairy power and practice my abilities so that I could help them.
“Let us try again, Victoria, and this time I want you to come with me to the library.” My mother said as she watched me intently, and I gave her a weak smile before I straightened myself and walked with her going to Oliver’s library.
“All you need to do is relax, and call your power from deep inside your core, and once you can feel the electricity pulsating on your veins, you need to think about something you want to do, and it will happen, later, I will teach you strong spell, all you need to do now is summon the magic in you.” She said, and I smiled, and then I relaxed and set aside all the bad feelings I have, and I let go of all the negative vibes.
I slowly closed my eyes and concentrated, and I could feel a light breeze that brushed my skin. I wondered where it did come from when I could tell it came from my feet, and I tried my best to summon my energy, and ten minutes after, I could feel the power flowing in my veins, and I knew it was my fairy magic. I slowly opened my eyes, and I smiled when I realized I was drifting on the air again, and this time I didn’t allow my dear to take over, but instead I controlled my movement, and I tried to glide around the room, and I could see the broad smile on my mom’s face.
“Wow! Bravo, you are a natural, Victoria, and I am so proud of you.” My mom declared, and I slowly got my feet back on the floor, and this time landed gracefully, and I couldn’t stop myself from smiling from ear to ear.
I moved around while I raised my hands, and I rearranged Oliver’s books from the shelves using my witch magic. I could see the books from the shelves flying in the air as they went from one stand to another, and I could feel the excitement on my entire frame. I could tell I loved this side of who I was, and then I let the shelves shuffle on the floor, and it was fascinating to see them moved on their own with one sway of my life hand.
“I think that is enough, for now, Victoria. I am aware you were tired from your training with Noel. I felt so delighted you summoned your magic, and tomorrow we need to train early on the forest.” My mother said, and I nodded my head as I tried to contain the smile on my face.
In the days that followed, I trained with my mom from dawn to dusk, and she taught me everything that I needed to do, and I could feel the magic deep inside my core, and I knew I became a different person in a good way. Having magic could be so handy every time I am alone inside Oliver’s room, I practice by cleaning his room, and I even change the bed covers using my magic.
Noel showed up before the time frame he had given me, and I am no longer afraid to face him. I could see the surprised look on his face when I demonstrated to him that I already knew how to wield my fairy magic, and he was smiling the entire time as he watched me use my power in front of everyone, and I could see the proud look on my parents’ face.
“Excellent, Victoria, I am now convinced you are no longer a threat to our pack members,” Noel said as he smiled at me.
“I apologized if I hurt your feelings and if I doubted you, but I need to protect my people, Victoria.” He added.
“It’s okay, Noel; I understand why you have to do it, and it motivated me to do better,” I responded, and he offered his hand to me, and I took his hand, and I could feel his firmed grip on my palm.
And since I am now confident to face anyone because of my fairy magic, I am no longer scared to eat fresh meat, and even if I need to keep my fairy magic a secret, it helped me overcome all my uncertainties, fears, and doubts. And above all, I am proud to be a hybrid.
I was smiling as I dialed my best friend’s number. I realized it was about time to speak with her because I could no longer stop calling Lana.. I wanted to check how she was doing, and I wish she would forgive me for not answering her calls or turning off my phones, and I admit I felt nervous as I waited for her to answer my call.
