VICTORIA'S POV
Following him out of the party area, the only thought that was constantly going through my head was, why the hell, do I feel such a weird attraction and want of love towards him if he's not my mate.
"So, uhh..you are Alexander's mate," Daniel said awkwardly as we stopped near a hut-like thing in the garden.
"Well, it turned out to be like this," I said awkwardly looking at him as I folded my hands in front of .
"You don't have to feel awkward with you know. When I said I love you. I ant every word of it. I know I and Alexander had decided that we will consult soone before anyone of us fully claim you as one of ours. But now, that you have yourself declared that you are his mate.
I don't think there is any need to do that. I just wanted to say, that I am hoping, that we can remain good friends without any awkwardness between us. Yeah?" Daniel said before giving one of his signature smiles.
"Of course. You will always remain that one friend that I Will always look up to and run to if anyone bullies or makes things hard for ." I said as I held his hands in mine to show him that I ant every single word I uttered.
"That's great. I can't promise that I will beat up Alexander for you because he is still stronger than , but I promise I will put up a good fight if he bullies you." Daniel said, making laugh at his words.
And just like that, all the awkward between us dissolved into nothing.
"Thank you for not leaving . For not breaking our friendship." I said before hugging him.
"I cannot leave you, even if I want to Victoria," Daniel said before he reciprocated my hug.
"Let's go, before our aloha king thinks that I am going to steal his mate and cos here for us, looking all angry and ready to kill." He said, making chuckle before he held my hands in his and we started moving back to where Alexander was.
Initially, I was hoping to eat this lunch with Alexander by his side, but seeing how he was busy with other alphas, I ended up eating with our friends.
"So, it's true that you are his mate," Chris said with an apologetic voice.
"What mate? I bet she is just scheming sothing." Suddenly Laila said from behind .
Hearing her voice I wanted to roll my eyes at her and punch her in the face, but I was too happy to care about that.
As I saw her pulling out a chair for herself, I couldn't help but wave my fingers under the table. And as expected, as soon as she tried to sit, the chair broke, resulting in her falling miserably on the ground.
"Hahaha...your bad luck is really bad today Laila." Katie laughed, which made us laugh harder than before.
Did she think I am gonna let her go without doing anything to her?
"Well, let's not talk about this mate thing anymore. We don't want to burden her just after she ca now, do we?" Daniel said, and I thankfully smiled at him.
He was really like a knight in shining armour for .
"Yeah, about that, are you okay? I heard from Daniel you were sick. Are you fine now?" Angela said, to which I only nodded while concentrating on eating.
The rest of the lunch was uneventful, with random question and answers.
Or maybe, it appeared uneventful because of what was going to happen next, the real interrogation with the council head, a.k.a Theodore Roosevelt.
Since Alexander was still busy attending to everyone, I asked the maid of the house where the study room, was and went for the interrogation round myself.
"Co in." I heard a voice from the other side, as soon as I raised my hand to knock on the door.
'Maybe he slled , as soon as I ca here.' I thought as I've recently found out that werewolves have an excellent sense of sll.
"Mr Roosevelt." I greeted formally, as he motioned for to sit down.
"Miss Victoria Gibberson, that's your na, right? May I know how long it has been since you are to know you have werewolves genes inside you?" He asked coming straight to the point.
"It's been 29 days 14 hours and 23 minutes to be precise. It was the sa day when I ca to know about the existence of this werewolf species and happened to feel this terrible pain in my body suddenly and went under transformation. However, I didn't transform into a wolf as soone had told , I should've." I replied.
"The person that you ntioned, told you about it. Is the person a family or friend? And if family then to which species does he belong?" He asked.
"The person is my god grandmother Miss Azrael. She is a witch. You know her." I said hiding the fact that she was my real grandmother.
"Miss Azrael? Yeah, I know her. She is your god grandmother? I see. So you've been told that you have werewolf genes inside you, but you still didn't transform into a wolf and has crossed the 18 age bar. Do you know what does that an?" He asked.
"It ans I am lantern which are the most unpredictable species in the werewolf class," I said, to which he smiled with a weird glint in his eyes.
"However, I would like to add. That I am not a lantern. I have a wolf who is not ready to co out. Also, miss Azrael told to not reveal this secret information to anybody, not even to my mate." I said smiling at him.
"You have a wolf? And she doesn't want to co out? Well, this is sothing new. And, why are you telling all this, when miss Azrael warned you against it?" He asked with a confused expression.
Looks like I finally caught him off guard.
"Well,.this is because-" I said before bending to inch closer to him.
"-you are going to protect my identity from now on," I smirked.
"And why do you think I'll do that? Aren't you afraid I will blow your cover? Besides, no matter what are your reasons, an alpha king or council head is not liable to protect anybody. It's the duty of the Pack's alpha. And in your case, you don't have an alpha." He said leaning back in his chair.
"Well, I think I didn't make myself clear. You will protect my identity from everyone and will help hide it from the world because my wolf's na is Carla. And you were wrong at the beginning. My na is not Victoria Gibberson. My na is Victoria Carla Gibberson." I said ntioning each syllable slowly as I saw his eyes widening in shock.
"Carla? Carla from the reign of Damien?" Alexander's father asked as he stood suddenly.
"That would be , sir," I said bowing my head in greeting, while Carla was laughing and enjoying the show.
"How could it be possible? Didn't she dies and her soul was said to be lost and captured by so witch?" He asked further.
"Well, the only thing she is saying in answer to your questions, is, she is here for the revenge on the witch," I said.
"If that would be all, I'll be leaving now," I said before turning around to leave.
"Miss Carla, no, miss Victoria, are you sure you are my son's mate?" He asked with a complicated expression on his face.
"Well, aren't you too curious, Sir?" I said before leaving the room.
Once out of the room, I couldn't help but place my hand on my heart as it was beating at a pace, which made feel like, it will jump out of my mouth.
"What the hell was that all about Carla?" I asked.
"You'll know when the ti cos. For now. Let's concentrate on our mate and make him ours." Carla said before sitting leisurely on the couch again.
'You are back in your human form, is there any specific reason for that?' I asked as I started moving towards the living room so that I can bid goodbye to Alexander before I head back ho.
'Ahh, I was done with Joy always threatening for my tail. She is too much. Besides, aren't we going to make love to our mate?' She said making look at Alexander with a shy expression who was coming towards with a big smile on his face.
