VICTORIA'S POV
"Wait, what? You are kidding , right? What in the world are you talking about? No, let finish." I said when I noticed him trying to add sothing.
"Look, if you think this is so joking ti, then it's not. If you haven't figured it out yet, then let tell you, we are in the middle of a war, and seeing how you don't react to these half-humans and half wolves, I am assuming that you know all about them. How about we catch up a bit later? I have a king to protect on my bucket list right now." I blabbered, not knowing where it was coming from.
"Victoria, my darling, my savior, you haven't changed a bit. Still as sunny and funny as ever. I rember the day when I had told you that for saving my life, I'll make you a queen. Don't you rember?" Robert said, making go in a flashback of mories.
It was the ti of autumn when I had co here for the second and the last ti. Since the incidence of being lost left a great impact on my parents, they decided that this place wasn't for .
It was when I was playing down the hills, which I must ntion, was sneaking out to play because my parents won't let off the house, I had found soone screaming not far from where I was playing.
When I walked closer to the source of the sound, I saw a drowning boy my age, flailing his arms in the strong stream. From the bloody water around him, I had depicted that he was badly injured and couldn't help but jump in the water to save him.
At that ti, I was so proud of myself for saving a life that I didn't even notice that I had walked a bit too away from where I was playing and lost my way to find the source of the voice.
It didn't help with the strong stream of water that carried both of us for so distance before depositing us on the banks after we fell from the waterfall.
For two days, it was just and that boy, and we had beco good friends.
Since the boy was badly injured and looked like he has stabbed a few many tis, I didn't let him do any heavy work and took it upon myself to take care of him. For two days, I was responsible for arranging food, water, and shelter.
It was funny how I had healed his wounds when I didn't know a single thing about first-aid. Now that I think about it, I think it was all my powers who had saved him that day.
When the boy gained proper consciousness, he told how he was betrayed by his family and was stabbed to death, and it was pure luck that I saved him because he had lost all hope in living.
It was so sad to hear about it. When I had looked into his sad tearful eyes, I knew he loved his family and people very much. The little was so angry thinking about it that there were family mbers like those, who would do such an audacious thing to their child like that, and at that ti, I had told him to take revenge for what his family did to him. To pay them back with tenfold of the pain of what he received.
Now that I think about that ti, I was really vengeful from the very beginning and was too negative at that ti.
However, I didn't know that my words would make such an impact on the boy. I very well rember the dark glint that passed through his eyes when he had said that my words were a command to him, and for what I did that day, he will make my life tenfold better and will make his queen.
Such sweet words had really appealed to and made feel loved at that ti because I didn't have many friends because of my telepathy thing. I had used my telepathy on him, and everything he said about the betrayal and his story was indeed true, which lead to trust him.
I had told him at that ti how no one ever called a queen and that in my school also, teachers and students won't let play the role of the queen because according to them, I looked like an empty vase and was like a weird bad on and that's why no one wanted to befriend .
I had laughed at his statent when he said he would made queen, thinking he was bluffing to make happy and was joking like he had been doing for the past two days.
Rembering that day, I also rember that he had kissed my cheek goodbye when my parents had co into the woods in search of . He didn't want to be found by soone and had parted ways with before my parents could reach . It was miraculous to how he had known about my parents' arrival even without any hint from them. It must've been so werewolf thing.
I can't forget the words that he had uttered before departing and after kissing ,
"I vow my life to you, Victoria. I'll make sure that you are mine when we grow up. I'll beco stronger for you, my princess, and will turn you into a real-ti queen. I will cherish you and will love you with all my heart."
"Robert? You are kidding , right? That's not really what you an, right?" I started, stepping forward consciously.
"Why would I lie to you, my love. To be honest, I had lost all hope in myself and felt ntally dead when I was being chased by the palace guards. I knew it was my end and I wasn't that bothered with that. I had nothing anyways. People hated and I knew no one would ever love . I was feeling all the negative emotions in the world until I t you. You gave hope." Robert said, making want to laugh at my twisted fate.
"Victoria, my love. You are the reason, I had been trying so hard to win over this palace. You have no idea how hard I've worked. How much I have loved you. I wasn't there by your side all these years, but I have been looking out for you these past years. I know I couldn't find you but the thought of you never left my mind even for a single second. I know you might not be my mate, but there is sothing higher and pure than this mate bond, and it's love, which I do. I love you so much that when I ca to know it was you, Alexander's mate, the first thing I did was take away Alexander from your side. It boiled my blood when I ca to know you two mated, and that was the sole reason I planned all this stuff, or I would've attacked long ago.
I wanted you to see that Alexander doesn't love you. You think it yourself, is it that easy to capture an alpha king? The ruler of the werewolves? It's all because he never loved you enough that he didn't want to co back to you, try harder for you. If he had loved you, then he would've used all his powers to break all the chains, but he didn't. Because he didn't love you enough!" Robert said.
"Wow! Bravo, Robert! If you've been a politician in our country, you would've definitely won with your skills of manipulation." I clapped.
"Do you really think I'll believe your words just like that? Do you think, I don't know that you have a strong witch by your side, who is even capable of creating human illusions? If I would've known you were such a power-hungry an person, then I would've never troubled my life to save you!" I almost shouted.
"You are lying! You saved because of destiny! It was fate! We were ant to et and stay together for eternity. What if all this mate bond between you and Alexander is a lie? I got a witch to do soo much, but are you sure that Alexander is as clean as you think? That he didn't get any witch to create this mate bond. That he didn't do all this because he wanted to keep you by his side? Because he wanted a powerful luna?" He asked, stepping closer to while holding my hands, shocking .
Does he know about my powers? No, it can't be.
"Robert, I saved you because I only saw a drowning boy at that ti. If I would've known I was saving a monster, I would've never saved you." I spat before jerking off his hand, making him stumble.
"Okay, very well. Since you are not leaving any choice, I'll just use force then. Leave the girl and kill the rest of them. Attack the mansion!" Robert hollered, pulling closer to him, and imdiately tens of wolves started piling in front of with red blazing eyes as if ready to hunt down.
"You can kill if you want, but I won't budge from here. I might not have been declared a queen yet, but I am Alexander's mate, which makes the queen of this palace, and I will protect my people and these people are my responsibility." I hollered.
"Victoria, how can I kill you? Can't you see how much I love you? What is it that you can't seem to understand, hmm? You are fighting , the person who loves you, for these people? See, these people don't even cherish you anyways. If they would've cherished you, then they wouldn't have let Laila beat you. They wouldn't have let you get hurt by Katie's and Aiden's manipulation. They are incapable of ruling this species. I am capable. Can't you see that? I'll love you with all I have. I promise there will be no other girl in my life apart from you. Not even a close friend, like Alexander, keeps saying who Laila is." Robert said, placing his hands on my shoulder again.
