VICTORIA'S POV
'Victoria? Victoria? Are you alright?Hey?' I faintly heard someone calling me, however, all I could see was pitch black darkness surrounding me.
Soon I saw a light shimmer of hope when I saw a door like something lightening in the darkness. I didn't know what it was, but my mind was telling me to run through the door if I want to gain my consciousness back.
Now that I see, my consciousness or should I say the lady inside my head has been getting more active these days, than anytime before, talking to me like she is a part of me now.
I opened the door with a large force, my eyes immediately blinded with the bright white light, that felt like piercing my eyes.
Opening my eyes slowly, I winced at the bright light of the sun, before looking at the person who was calling at me.
"Thankgod Victoria, you woke up. What happened? Just now, you were enjoying the ride and then you grabbed my hand and fainted just like that. You got me soo scared." Alexander said. His face too close to mine for my own liking, with his hand placed on my cheek, making me a bit embarrassed now that I woke up.
It felt like, he would've kissed me if I wouldn't have woken up anytime soon. Like the prince does to sleeping beauty to wake her up.
'Geez! Are you living in a fantasy novel? Stop these bullshit thoughts and answer him, or he might think you are some kind of freak.' The lady inside my head reminded me while invisibly smacking my head.
"Umm yeah, I don't know, what happened, I just felt a bit dizzy and maybe that's why I held your hand right now." I tried to reason, even though knowing very well the reason why I fainted in the first place
I looked around and saw that the ride was almost stopping now. Sitting upright, I smiled carefully at Alexander before exiting the rollercoaster and going towards the nearby bench.
I don't know if it was just me, but the look that Alexander passed me just now when I said I felt dizzy, it felt like he knew something about what had happened. Like he knew I was trying to pry into his mind, to hear his thoughts.
My head was still aching a bit, and I knew, it wasn't probably the best idea to ride another rollercoaster again, and that's why I decided to relax a bit.
'Why don't we eat something to cool our mind and improve our mood.' The lady inside my head said.
'You! The lady inside my head, are you a pig or what? Always thinking and suggesting me to eat.' I annoyingly yelled inside my head, in my thoughts to be precise.
'What? The lady inside your head? Jesus! Is this what you've been calling me all those years? What the real hell! My name is Carla. Plus, don't ever compare me with those swine. You'll know who I am, once the right time comes.' The lady inside my head, a.k.a Carla said loudly, almost making me hold my head to stop the pounding.
'You are my head woman! I can hear you crystal clear, no need to yell!!' I yelled back with equal intensity, resulting in her holding her head, making me smile cunningly in victory.
Hehehe...did she really think, I was going to let her win this? I smiled, however, the smile on my face, immediately froze when I realized something.
Was I seriously talking to the voice inside my head like some other person? Am I for real?! I thought widening my eyes when the realization hit me, that I might as well be turning insane now.
"Hey? Are you okay? I just saw you exiting the ride in a hurry and couldn't help but come over here to ask if you were okay. And to be honest, you look totally zoned out, and pardon me for saying this, but a little bit creepy smiling like that." Chris said as he sat near me offering me a bottle of mineral water.
"Thanks. Yeah, I am fine. It's just, I felt a bit dizzy. Maybe it's my blood pressure reacting or something. I don't think it's a good idea to ride another roller coaster, and that's why here I am." I laughed awkwardly, trying my best to hide the expression.
"Would you like to grab something with me? I am not in the mood of a rollercoaster or any ride either, after this lousy one." He said, making me smile thankfully, for not making fun or bringing the scenario up again.
"Let's go," I said, taking his hand that he extended.
"What are you guys up to?" I heard Alexander's voice from behind me, as he placed his hand on my shoulder like we were some great bros.
"Nothing, we just decided to grab something quickly till these guys enjoy another ride since we both aren't in the mood of riding one," Chris said, absentmindedly as he looked around the stalls to find something suitable.
"Let's go together, since, it's my duty to make sure, she has fun here because I was the one who suggested this to her," Alexander said smiling at me while playing with my hairs that have fallen out of the bun.
"Hey, you don't have to be always around me just because you were the one who suggested this. You're not complied to do this. You can enjoy yourself with everyone, till I enjoy some food. It's not like, you are obligated to be around me." I said while following Chris's eyes that lingered in a stall that was selling some chili potato.
"That's not the case. Actually, I enjoy it more when I am with you, rather than enjoying those one-time rides. Your long-time presence is more important." Alexander said while smiling cheekily at me while flunking my cheeks with his finger, as he blinked his eyes looking as cute as ever.
"You sure know your way around words Mr.," I said while dismissing his cute look.
Huh! I bet one day, I'll end up forcefully kissing him if he continues this cuteness of his.
'You know, you don't have to resist soo much. If you feel like kissing him, then kiss him. What if he is waiting for you to take the first step?' Carla asked making her presence known once again.
'Yeah, and then if that's not the case, I might as well risk this amazing friendship? No thanks. Besides, will you stop appearing out of blue? You are freaking me out.' I said in my head.
'Who said I am appearing out of blue? I have always been here, I am just making my presence known to you now so that you get used to me. Plus, look at those luscious lips, oh my god, if I were you, I would just grab those between my lips and suck the hell out of them.' She said, making me want to roll my eyes at this.
Someone is surely getting horny looking at him. However, her words did make me look at Alexander's lips out of the corner of my eyes, making me distracted for a second.
Shaking my head to throw the nasty thoughts out of my head I entered the stall with the least crowd, to eat one cheeseburger.
"What are you having? Let's have it together." Chris asked looking at the menu.
"Nothing much, just a cheeseburger and milkshake," I said while looking at them to decide their orders.
"Let's order three sets of this only," Chris said because it was the fastest thing we could get within few minutes.
After having our mini-break, we decided it was best to get along with our friends who probably haven't felt our absence till now.
After looking around for a couple of minutes, we spotted them exiting the second rollercoaster, and moving towards that large Ferris wheel.
I wanted to ride it from the moment, I looked at it. Without even looking back, if both Chris and Alexander were coming or not, I moved towards the group.
We were the last in this round and I didn't want to ride it with some strangers, that's why I cheated and went in between of line, saying I went to the washroom break and I am with my friends.
When I stood with them, I noticed everyone was already in a pair of quadruple and couple, leaving only me alone. And to be honest, it was after a long time, I was feeling sad because I was alone.
"Hey, umm, why don't you join our booth," Matt said awkwardly probably seeing my saddened expression, while his arms around Katie.
Everyone else was already seated in their booths and thus, didn't know I didn't have a pair.
"No, that's really okay. I will be able to think things through, and I wanted to ride it alone anyways." I comforted him, before urging them to go fast and waited for them to enter their booth, so that my booth can come down for me to enter now.
I looked back towards Chris and Alexander who were talking with some man. 'Should, I call them or not?' I thought aloud.
But, Chris already said that he didn't want to ride any rides for now, and Alexander didn't look like the one to be riding such rides.
Sighing loudly, I decided to enter the booth alone.
"Are you going to ride this alone miss?" The man who was responsible for the Ferris wheel asked politely.
"Yeah, I guess." I awkwardly smiled.
"If you want, should I call someone who might be riding alone too, to give you company?" He politely suggested, while opening the gate for me.
"No thank you." I smiled thankfully for his consideration before entering the booth.
"Okay, since, everyone is ready, let's start. Please sit upright." He announced.
I closed my eyes, to enjoy the ride, deciding to open it only, when I will be at the height to enjoy the scenery. This will make me feel less lonely.
Before the ride could start, I felt my booth shaking, making me open my eyes abruptly. I looked at the person sitting in front of me in confusion.
"Were you seriously thinking of riding it alone? Without me?" Alexander asked as he sat on the same seat as mine, making me squeal as the booth shook violently as the wheel started.
ALEXANDER'S POV "Alpha Alex, few people are here from Blood moon pack. They are saying something about the alpha inviting you to their wedding ceremony." Sean said from out of my room. "Ask them to wait in my office. I'll be there in some time." I ordered before looking at the photo frame that had a photo of me kissing Victoria at my crowning ceremony. It's been six months since that incident.We didn't find her. Everyone said that the girl that Azrael brought out from the river was Victoria, but my heart still not believes it. She can't be dead. I know it. I can feel it. However, at the back of my mind, the thought that I might've lost her is always present. That day, after searching for her for 28 hours when my body was exhausted completely, I returned to the mansion, not before strictly ordering the guards to check every part of the whole course of the river as well as th
ALEXANDER'S POVI 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 me back with an equally confused gaze."He didn't call me. I came 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 came 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?"
VICTORIA'S POVLying on the floor bed of the forest as blood oozed out of me, I wondered if this was how I was going to die.If this was my twisted fate.All my life I yearned for the love and care of everyone and in the end, I was tricked again. I was tricked out of it again.Looking at the end of the cliff that was still around a kilometer away from me, I gasped to contain the pain before crawling with my body that had started to shut down.'Victoria stop! Let us help you! We can still go through this togetherness!' Carla screamed, however, I was too hurt by what she did to care about anything anymore.______15 minutes ago______'Now coming to the sacrifice part. I am still not sure what I want to sacrifice.' I said in my mind, knowing that they were hearing me pretty well.'Victoria-' Joy started, but I stopped her mid-sentence, shaking my head because I didn't even want to face her after what Carla conspired again
ALEXANDER'S POV'Are you sure that this was the right decision?' I asked hunter for the umpteenth time.'I don't know, okay? I have heard about this spell but have never seen anyone doing it. From what I know, only one of the strongest witches can perform this spell. And if what I am thinking now is right, then Victoria indeed will be sacrificed if we don't bring that heirloom back.' Hunter replied.'That's not what I wanted to ask. What I wanted to ask is, are you sure that it's Victoria on whom that spell is performed?' I asked, making him stop dead in his tracks.However, before he could reply to me, we suddenly felt a sudden pang in our body, making us hit the nearby tree.'What is this all about?' I thought as another thing hit us.As we stood after the hit, I noticed three almost invisible shadows floating in the air, trying to hit us, out of the corner of my eyes.However, before they could hit us this time, hunter saw them right
VICTORIA'S POV'There is nothing like that, Victoria. You are just thinking too much into things.' Carla calmed me, however, the possibility of my presumption being true was scaring me deeply."Make yourself clear nasty witch! What is this sacrifice spell all about." Carla asked, her eyes glowing like a cold flame."Well, it's very simple. I initiated the spell around half an hour ago when Alexander was fighting with me. All I needed to do was put those chanted herbs containing the blood of an evil soul into Alexander's blood to start the spell. I had already planned all of this because I knew this was the easiest way to let Victoria come with me without hustling around." Patrick said while looking at us with a smirk."This can't be it. Since it's a sacrifice spell, there has to be a sacrifice to save Alexander, right? Tell me or I'll kill you even before you think about trading Victoria." Carla warned again, plunging her hand in his chest and holding his
VICTORIA'S POV'Hey! Do you even know where you are running off to?' I couldn't help but ask for the umpteenth time.'Of course, I know. I can... I mean your witch powers can smell another witch from miles. And I am gonna use them to locate that dirty witch who has my mate.' Carla replied.'It's our mate.' I said, annoyed before sitting back leisurely.Now I know how bad Carla must've felt all this time when she had to live inside me without coming out. It feels like I am watching a movie where someone else is controlling my body, and I am just a side character.'It won't take long. Don't worry, I am not planning to take over your body completely. You still have those witch powers that stop me whenever I try to take control. Luckily you used your energy when healing Rosaline, and that's the sole reason why they allowed me to take over the body. However, it won't be the case for long.' Carla mumbled at the end, confusing me a bit.Howev
