Chapter-45 Laila found her mate.
“Sweetheart, can you tell what exactly Madeline said to you?” Ashton asked Victoria after so ti. Neptune had asked him to do so that they could understand the severity of the condition.
“I… I…” Victoria started, her heart racing only by the thought of Madeline, however, seeing her troubled face like this, Ashton placed his finger on top of her lips, to stop her from saying anything else.
“It’s okay. We will talk about this matter later. Let’s talk about sothing else for now, okay, my queen?” He asked, making her nod her head before she squinted her brows at what he said.
“I am not your queen.” She said, making Ashton roll his eyes at her headstrong attitude. Well, how many tis will he have to make her understand this?
“Of course, you are. You are my queen with Erald inside you.” He said before pausing.
“Victoria, honestly, we all are trying our best to find a way so that we all can get our mates without harming you, and we won’t have to share our mate with anyone else either. However, in any situation, even hypothetically, if we are not able to accomplish what we are looking for, then what will you do? Will you be able to live your life as a girl for three n?” Ashton asked, already knowing that her answer will be a definite no, given how she loved Alexander soo much. However, the words that she uttered next were beyond his expectations, making him raise his eyes in pure shock and happiness.
“Honestly, I am not sure. Can I live with three n? Of course, not. I will never be able to live with all three of you under the sa roof. However, as a mate of three n, I do have responsibilities towards everyone. Do you know, when a power of mine is in control, then they can shut off the other three personalities, and the other three personalities won’t even know what the power is doing? For example, in your case, if I let Erald take over and she shuts us off, then we won’t even know what is going between you and Erald.” Victoria said, making Ashton look at her curiously.
“Though this sounds a bit easy, it is as hard as it can be. After the sacrifice spell, when Jasmine took over to heal , she didn’t let co back in control for almost two years, and if I hadn’t seen Alexander, then I don’t think I would have any will to co back either.” Victoria explained.
“However, regarding my answer. Will I accept all of you as my mate? Yes, I would, because you are not my mates, but the mates of the powers and essence that lives inside . Though I might consider them as just my powers, I know that they once had a presence of their own. So, I will try my best to cope up with this mate thing, even if I would have to give it my all. If I am a mate to one, then I am a mate to all. When I didn’t know of truth, I was reckless, but now I won’t act like this anymore. However, if you ask that if I will be able to love you and accept you wholeheartedly like how I accept Alexander? Then it’s a clear no because no one will ever be able to take his place in my heart.” Victoria said, however, her answer was clear to Ashton, and he couldn’t feel any luckier to have his mate with a girl as wonderful as Victoria was.
She was ten tis better than Madeline, if not a hundred tis.
At least now he won’t have to worry about Victoria trying to kill Erald or Jasmine just because she wants to live with her love Alexander.
“Thank you, Victoria. This is the best support you can provide us, however, I will make sure that we find a solution for sure. We won’t let our love remain unrequited for another 600 years, at least not Daniel Neptune for sure.” Ashton said, making her chuckle.
Victoria was smiling for the first ti since Ashton ca and saw her, and Ashton couldn’t help but feel attracted to her, and thus, without thinking much into things, he involuntarily leaned forward and kissed the corner of her lips, catching her off-guard in the action.
“I think you should rest now. You are such an amazing girl, Victoria. At least now I know why Alexander is head over heels for you even when you are not his mate anymore. However, given your bond, it won’t be long when you both will have your mate bond.” Ashton said before ruffling her hair lovingly.
Laila, who wasn’t in the mansion after the talk with Rosaline and didn’t know what was going on with Victoria and others regarding her three mates thing or her parents coming to et her, knocked on the door, knowing that Victoria was resting in this room before pushing it open, however, when she saw Victoria in arms of other n, she rushed towards them before separating the two.
“What do you think you both are doing?” Laila shouted before she almost pushed Ashton away from Victoria.
Being a vampire king, Ashton was imdiately able to sense the discomfort that Victoria started feeling imdiately after the girl ca into the room, and it didn’t help when she tried to push him away, turning him angrier than he already was. She was disrespecting a king in front of his mate, which was the last thing any Vampire would be able to bear with.
“Erald, don’t be scared. I am here to protect you from all the kinds of danger, and as long as I am here, no one can touch you or harm you.” Ashton said, confusing Laila, who looked at them with shock and confusion. Why was a man consoling Victoria like this?
There were so many things that she didn’t understand about the situation. What had happened in this one week? Why was Victoria, who didn’t even like anyone touching her, in the arms of another man when Alexander was just downstairs? And why was Alexander not doing anything about it? How did he even allow this vampire in the room with Victoria alone? Why did he call her Erald? The questions kept on coming one after another, and she looked at Victoria with a gaze of confusion and animosity.
“Don’t look at my mate like that, you dog! You are surely courting death today by imposing harm on my mate. ” Ashton growled before pinning her to the wall as he gripped her neck in a tight hold, ready to snap it in two.
Wait. What did he call her? His mate? What the hell was going on? Laila thought, turning to look at Victoria before coughing loud as she tried to get herself free from his tight hold.
Victoria, on the other hand, who was too stunned to react to the situation, looked at Ashton before she hurried towards him.
“Ashton, leave her alone. I am not afraid of her. She can’t harm . Calm down, okay?” Victoria started, but to no avail did Ashton calm down, and seeing no way out of the situation, she ducked under his arm before standing between Laila and him as she placed her hand on his cheeks, forcing him to look at her,
“Please calm down, my love,” Erald said, Victoria allowing her to take over him montarily.
Felling the love from his mate, Ashton imdiately cald down before breathing heavily to control his anger.
What the fuck?! Laila’s mind was going haywire with confusion and shock.
“I wasn’t here to harm you, Victoria. I was here to say sorry. Sorry for all the things I did to you. However, I assure you that I won’t be coming in your and Alexander’s path anymore. I found my mate.” Laila said, making Victoria look at her in amazent.
“Frist, let’s calm down, and then we can talk about it, okay?” Victoria said, rolling her eyes when Ashton growled again as Laila tried to get close to Victoria.
“Mine!” Ashton growled before pushing Victoria behind himself, making her roll her eyes again as, at the sa ti, Alexander entered the room, pinning Laila by her neck when he sensed the thick tension in the room. And seeing how Laila was the only person in the room, who might try to harm Victoria, he pinned her to the wall before sending her flying to the other side of the room.
“Guys, Stop. She is not here to harm .” Victoria started, but when no one listened to her, she closed her eyes before concentrating. Opening her eyes with a hint of all the powers, she shouted aloud, making everyone imdiately stop.
“I said, stop!!” Her loud voice breaking the windows in the room as all the furniture started flowing into the air.
