VICTORIA'S POV
I looked towards my wardrobe and then at my bed at the ss that I've created.
Currently, I was thinking about what to wear to this party, that I was invited too.
Was I excited? No.
However, due to so unknown reasons, I was feeling super nervous about this whole thing. I was not a nervous freak who would beco nervous just because she was invited to a party.
Maybe I was feeling this way because I haven't been to a party for more than a year and my friend from my ho town wasn't here to give so sassy girl motivation.
Huffing in frustration, I decided to go with a washed denim thigh-length shorts with a white top and my favourite black jacket. Wearing my dium heel boots, I think I was ready to go after applying so lotion to my face.
I didn't go with the makeup, because doing makeup wasn't my thing. For all I know, I might as well turn myself into a panda if I tried doing it on my own.
I pulled my front hairs in a side wave and pinned them properly, while the rest I decided to leave open.
Satisfied at my image, I locked the door before going out in the left direction from my house.
I was good with directions and thus, I knew exactly where the party was when Aiden gave the directions from that cafe.
Reaching the party, I noticed the grandeur of it. The garden in front of that mansion-like house was soo large but it still appeared crowded.
There were huge stalls placed on both left and right side with different dishes placed on them.
Let's talk about why it wasn't exactly a small get to gather like I was told.
I scrunched my eyes at this and thought of leaving before anyone sees here. However, before I could turn around and leave, my hand was grabbed by none another than Sean.
"Where do you think you are going, beautiful lady?" He asked flirtatiously.
"Uhh...look Sean this is a really big party. And sorry to say, but this isn't sothing I imagined when I said yes. Please let go. Crowded places aren't my thing." I said feeling a bit uncomfortable.
"Victoria, I know you don't like crowded places, but how can you judge a book by its cover. This is a normal party, which is being held outside. The real get to gather party is inside and only a few people apart from us are there." Sean said while trying to pull in.
"Okay. Let's make a deal. We go inside, and if you still feel that it is too much crowd for you to handle, I'll personally drop you to your ho? Okay?" He said looking deeply at , trying to get to agree with it.
I felt myself relaxing when I looked into his eyes and thus, I smiled at him before muttering "okay".
Since I am already here, there is nothing wrong in giving it a last try.
After getting my approval, he started pulling inside the house at a great speed as if eager to bring there, while muttering a 'sorry' or 'get aside' occasionally.
When I reached inside the so-called house, I felt like I was standing in an ancient mansion or so fantasy palace. It was soo big and beautifully designed. Like a movie set.
Is this the place where they do all the parties? If yes, then it was great.
They had invested a lot in making such a place. Maybe it is used for other etings too when the crowd of the whole town is needed to gather.
I looked at the people who were dancing softly while laughing at each other's jokes. It was a different thing from what was going outside.
I spotted Daniel talking to so girl and as if he sensed my presence he imdiately looked towards with a polite smile.
"So what's say? Do I still need to drop you there, beautiful?" Sean whispered in my ears.
I shook my head at his words, looking around still dazed when he placed his hands on while pulling closer to himself.
I felt a shiver run down my spine. A good kind of shiver.
It didn't felt right when I suddenly started feeling a warmth creeping my body, from where his hand was placed on my waist.
I looked at him wide-eyed before he winked at and pulled towards the dance floor.
I didn't know what was happening with ? Do I like Sean? Is this why I was feeling this way?
The questions suddenly started popping in mind.
Deep in my thoughts, I almost lost my balance at the twirl he made, but he grabbed at the right ti. Pulling closer to his chest, he looked into my eyes, gazing with soo many emotions crossing his eyes.
I don't know if I should do it or not, but thinking I needed to know what was going on, I put the barrier around my mind down a bit and tried to read his thoughts.
[So beautiful. Maybe if I try my best, I can have her. I am not finding my mate anyways. And she is a good girl. I feel attracted to her. Is she, my mate?]
I heard the thoughts in his mind.
However, I couldn't concentrate much.
As if sensing sothing wrong with , like he knew I was trying to read him, he looked at with shocked filled eyes, before leaving from his grip.
I stumbled on my boots, already expecting a fall when soone held . The pleasant electric shocks were there again.
I think I knew who held . Standing straight, I turned around and was t by an angry face of none other than Alexander.
"What are you doing here, dressed like this? Couldn't you wear sothing appropriate?" He suddenly muttered with anger-filled eyes.
I looked at his eyes. They appeared so dark at the mont as if trying to suck on your soul. A total contrast of what I rember from the morning.
Suddenly rembering his words, I looked at my clothes. There was nothing wrong with my clothes.
I have seen girls wearing shorter shorts than mine and a crop top that is more like a sports bra. But why the hell, am I the only one being reprimanded?
"Look, Mr Alexander, if you got a problem with my clothes, you can just turn around and go on. I was invited to this party and thus I am here. I am not interested in a party of a psychopath anyways, I was here just because Daniel invited . And I can see, girls are wearing more fancy clothes than mine, so if you've got a problem with only my clothes, then let phrase it, ' Go see a doctor!'" I said not knowing why I was feeling so much angry at this.
I took a deep breath in to control my anger and noticed sothing was wrong about this. I looked around and saw that everyone has stopped doing whatever they were, and were now looking at us bickering.
Just great! Because this couldn't turn any less humiliating.
Smiling in Daniel's direction, one last ti I decided to leave the party. I was not one of those pushover girls, who would stay at a party even though they were insulted like that, just because there was a guy you like at the party.
Running out of the area, I finally felt relieved.
Sitting on a random rock, I massaged my head, which was pounding heavily. This was the first ti my head was in pain just because I tried to read soone's mind.
Usually, it won't take a toll for to read 100's of minds in a go. Maybe it's just because my mind hasn't read anyone since 6-7 months and now that I used it, it took a toll on it.
Sighing loudly, I was about to stand, from the rock when I heard the rustling of leaves.
It was only then I noticed, that I was currently sitting in an area surrounded by huge trees. From what I rember, it must be the forest I visited last ti.
"Who..who is there?" I asked.
The rustling of leaves got louder and louder.
Before I could find myself a stick or sothing in my defence, I looked at the thing that has appeared in front of .
I dropped the idea of finding a stick because, I wouldn't be able to defend my sorry ass, even if I was holding a large wooden log.
In front of , a giant wolf was standing. His hazel brown eyes were set on as if I was his prey. He was taller than from what I could see, and with his bulky body, I didn't stand a chance against it.
Taking out my phone with trembling hands, I tried to call soone while keeping a look at the wolf who was observing my each and every movent.
Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw the wolf has suddenly started walking towards , resulting in dropping my phone.
Is he angry at , because I took out my phone to call soone?
And guys, this is how you beco the food of a giant animal!
God this isn't how I wanted to die.
From all the things that I have suffered till now, you can't just make die by making the food of so giant wolf bear.
I know I should run at a mont like this. But this wolf was soo big, that running was futile. Plus, don't wild animals like things, like chasing. Maybe...maybe if I plead to him to not , he will leave ?
I was still contemplating what to do when I noticed he was only a few feet away from now.
'It's now or never Victoria. You can do it.' I prep talked myself.
Imdiately sitting on my knees, I started my begging.
Seeing sitting on my knees, the wolf tilted his head as if confused or thinking sothing.
It was a good sign I guess.
"Wolf bear, please don't eat . Look I am so skinny and you are soo big. You won't be able to feed your hunger properly if you eat . Why don't I give you an address where a party is being held? If you like vegetarian food you can eat anything from the counters and if you are non-vegetarian then you have the choice of eating soo many people. It's a good bargain, please, please spare ?" I pleaded with my closed eyes.
I was still pleading thinking what else to say when I felt a lick on my thighs that made squeal a bit.
'Is he tasting ? Maybe he wants to taste if the food he is going to eat is up to his standards or not.' I thought in my mind nodding at my explanation, before praying to God.
'Please don't like the taste. Please don't like the taste. I have applied body lotion today. Wolves have good slling sense, maybe he won't like the chemical in it. Please think that I am dirty and not suitable to eat.'
Before I could say or do anything else, the wild wolf sat in front of before placing his head on my lap.
I looked at the large wolf flabbergasted, not knowing what to do.
Does he want to pat his head? Or he is looking for a pillow to sleep on?
Hmm...this could be the case. Sleeping on this hard forest floor must be tiring and rough, and that's why he wants to sleep on my lap.
I looked at his face, and god forbid to say such a thing to a wild animal but he was soo cute. With his bright eyes opened looking towards , he appeared like a dostic animal wanting to play with his friend.
Gathering the little courage left in , I placed my hand on his head, feeling his velvety fur.
His fur was soo thick that I wasn't able to see my hand once I placed it on him.
I faintly heard a satisfied 'purr' from him and I think it was the cutest and loveliest voice I ever heard in my life.
For the first ti after a year, I smiled, genuinely happy.
