ALEXANDER'S POV
I looked at Azrael shocked for a second before I looked back at my father.
"How did you know I wanted you to call her?" I asked him, and he looked at back with an equally confused gaze.
"He didn't call . I ca back on my own. Where is my goddaughter, Victoria." Azrael asked, her voice holding a strange power.
"She...I don't know that. I thought she would be in the mansion, but when I ca here, I found didn't find her. I was going to find her now before you showed up." I said, standing straight.
"She...did she...I felt like she changed. Is that true? Did she changed into her wolf form?" She asked, a bit fidgety with a hint of urgency clear in her eyes.
"She did. She changed into the legendary wolf. Did you know that she wasn't a lantern? That she was the reincarnation of Carla?" My father asked, however, rather than answering him, she looked at .
"This is not good. I told her to only change into her wolf form and use those powers when it's a life and death situation for her. There must be sothing that brought her to change. What it can be? I need to find it. I need to find her." She started rambling on her own while pacing back and forth on the pavent.
"Miss Azrael! Stop! We need to find-"I started holding her hand, however, as soon as my hands touched her, she imdiately jerked away, looking at with that nacing look before her eyes softened for a brief second.
"You are under a spell?!" She exclaid, more than asked.
"Yes. It has been like this for the past few days. I was spelt by a witch called Patrick. He had been keeping locked in a dungeon to-" I stopped, my eye sweeping on Robert for a brief second, who had his head bowed down in sha.
"It's not that. You were spelt now too. The sacrifice spell." Azrael said, touching my hands again.
"What do you an by were? He is not spelt anymore? And what's this sacrifice spell?" My father asked, making look at Azrael again as I waited for her explanation.
"A sacrifice spell is a spell perford by witches that they perform to gain sothing big from the outco. It includes sacrificing the life of a living person. The powerful the person, the more is the result, thus, humans are never used for such spells. You said it was Patrick? How this can be possible, he is not even that old. And by were, I an you were under a spell earlier. But it looks like soone took the spell upon herself for you." Azrael said, looking pained.
"What do you an soone took it?" I asked horrified, wishing that what was I thinking wasn't true.
"It ans, Victoria took the spell upon herself for you. But she isn't dead yet, or they would've co here, I an, I would've felt it. We can still save her." Azrael exclaid.
"Do anything you can and want to save her. We will support you in every way. First, find where she is." I ordered in my king tone, and she imdiately nodded.
Closing her eyes, she raised her hands in the air before a purple coloured magma started to circle her body.
"She is sowhere in the forest. There is a cliff. I can hear the sound of water flowing. It sounds like a river. There are long trees, but she is sowhere in the clearing. There is also a small birdhouse."
"I know that place. She is talking about the clearing near the Green River." Daniel said, and before I could say anything, I saw him changing into his wolf form and running towards the forest.
Nodding at Azrael, I followed Daniel, hoping she would reach Victoria earlier than us and save her.
It was a more than thirty minutes run. This was probably the first ti, I wished I had the teleporting power of a witch.
Running as fast I could, I outrun Daniel before changing into my wolf form.
After ten minutes of running at my full speed, I saw Azrael standing at so distance with my sharp sight and couldn't help but squint my brows when I saw her standing there doing nothing.
As I was nearing the scene, I couldn't help but feel a bad on creeping my heart as the strong sll of Victoria embraced with her blood entered my senses.
'Please let her be safe. Please be safe.' I kept on chanting in my head as I noticed the amount of blood that was there on the ground near the cliff.
"Where is she?" I asked Azrael, who was gazing down at the river with a concerned gaze.
"I asked, where is she!!" I shouted, bringing her out of her trance state, however, what she did next was out of my expectations.
She directly jumped down from the cliff and disappeared.
"Alex, from the trail of blood, it looks like Victoria fell into the river. We need to save her. Let's call the guards here and make them search for her." Daniel said
Waiting for guards? That wasn't even an option.
I thought before jumping into the river to find my love and save her from the sacrifice that she made for .
____________
"It's enough, Alexander! Guards are finding her. You will die at this rate!" My father Theodore shouted at , pulling out of the water.
"Leave alone, dad! I need to find her. Azrael said that as long as we find her, there's still so hope. Leave . I will go and check again. I think I should go to the west where the river is flowing to." I said, jerking my hands away from my father's grip.
I will not leave my hope of finding her until I see her.
"Wake up, Alexander! It's been six long hours since we last found her trail in the water. Guards are doing their best by taking turns to search the course of the whole river. You have been going in and out of that river continuously for the last six hours. Do you want to die?! Even hunter must be feeling sick now!" My father shouted at .
"Then what do you expect father! Do you want to just sit around and wait when my mate must be dying sowhere from loss of blood? I can't…I can't father. I can't." I said, my voice trembling at the end as a sob left my mouth.
I know it was extrely shaful for a man who is also a king to be crying like this in front of his guards, but I couldn't help it anymore.
The girl that I had waited for all my life, the girl that I was ant to protect, the girl that was ant to be cherished and cared for, first suffered so much because of , and not only that, now she took the spell that was ant to kill upon her and sacrificed herself for the Werewolf species even when she was not called a proper Werewolf by anyone.
"Shhh...my son. I know it's hard for you. We will find her." My father said, hugging , but I didn't want to rely only on my guards, I wanted to find her, however, before I could push my father again, he tied with a rope before pushing in the car.
"Start driving!" My father exclaid, making squirm as I changed into my wolf form, making the whole car tumble before we crashed into a tree.
"Don't co in between, father!" Hunter shouted before going back. However, he could run for a few ters only as we saw Azrael walking towards us with a female body in her hand.
Imdiately changing back to my human form, I rushed towards her to see if my Victoria was okay, however, what greeted was a pale looking girl.
She looked like Victoria, but she wasn't alive.
"What is the aning of this?" I asked Azrael, stumbling back as I looked at the dead girl horrified.
"What is the aning of this? You killed her! You guys killed my goddaughter! I won't let you guys off like this." Miss Azrael shouted with teary eyes as her purple Magna started to envelop the body.
"Calm down, Azrael." My father said.
Everyone was talking around , however, the things they were talking about were beyond . How can they call a random girl my Victoria?
Surely, this girl looks like my Victoria, but she wasn't her I know.
"She is not Victoria! Look at her skin, it's so pale, and she even looks thinner than my Victoria. Look at her fingers, they look so thick. And see, she isn't even wearing the family heirloom that I gave her on her birthday. She is not Victoria." I said, shaking my head before running and jumping into the river again.
"Alexander! Co back to your senses! She is Victoria!" I heard soone shout from behind , but I didn't want to listen to them right now.
I trusted my love.
My Victoria must be there sowhere waiting for . They are just fooling to keep away from her.
Maybe she is angry with because I took so long to go back to her. Once, I'll find her, I'll cherish her like a kid, love her like a husband, and care for her like a father. I'll give her everything.
I need to make her a queen too. I need to introduce her to the pack and make her a mber of it too. Then about our wedding, I am still confused if we should make it a small one with family mbers, or a large one with all the pack mbers and alphas invited.
There was soo many things to discuss. But first, I need to find her and say sorry to her.
I know she loves a lot, she'll forgive .
