1521 Words
Roque’s POV Having to spend time with Vicky today was by far the best thing that has happen to me in a long time. The conversations came out so natural, her laughs and smiles are very warm. I get to understand why people around here show so much respect to her, she’s simply amazing. I got to see the entire castle and it was magnificent, both the inner and the outer sides. Whoever designed this place, deserves an award for the great test. The armory, have never been to one before but this sure did surpass my expectations. I was in awe with everything while Victoria was just casual about it all. Am really curious about how they get their money cause damn, everything here is top tier. It was such a relieve when I asked her if they are a mafia and she said they aren’t. Though everything suggested otherwise, from having guards everywhere, to having a fully equipped armory. It sure is suspicious but through her words, I kind of just found myself trusting in it. The first moment I ever saw Victoria when I woke up from that hospital bed, I felt a major connection to her. At first I just thought her beauty and physique was the reason but now I know there’s more to that. I feel so satisfied when I see her laugh or smile, I felt my heart break when I thought she was crying this morning, I also felt jealous at the thought of her being alone with some other guy in the office, Alone. I never anticipated to be attracted to someone who’s totally new to me. I like her and I want to spend every single moment with her. I don’t know if she feels the same way, I want to believe she does but maybe she’s just being kind to me. I know that now that am well, I need to go back to my house but something deep down , something is stopping me from saying this to her. This morning I was going to tell her I wanted to leave but I couldn’t find it in me to say it. I have had multiple chances to talk to her about it but I just can’t. We are on our way to her office because apparently ,she needs to do some paperwork. She’s a busy woman and she doesn’t need a nagging man slacking her off. So after gaining enough strength, I decided to say it. “Uh so I was thinking, maybe I should go back home”, I state flatly as I watch keenly to her reaction. Her expression instantly change to a surprised look and if am not mistaken, I saw her brows crunch, as if she’s hurt by my words. “Uh but why?”, she questions avoiding eye contact with me. Seems I’m not the only one who doesn’t want me to leave, but I needed to hold myself together before jumping into conclusions. “Haha, what do you mean why.I am just here as a guest and I still have my own place.I should leave. Besides I have a life back home”, I respond chuckling awkwardly by how much of a lie my statement is. Which life do I exactly have??, oh you mean the lonely house which still needs a lot of renovations??, and not forgetting my jobless ass. Uh yep. “I think the doctor still needs to check you up before you can actually leave. You were pretty hurt you know”, she blurts out awkwardly. She’s really trying to stop me from leaving. Because why the hell will she make up all this irrelevant excuses. “I’m fine. In fact I don’t feel any pain now .am doing okay Victoria, really”, I respond to her. Now getting a weird vibe from her. Her eyes looks a little cold. “NO!!”, she stunningly growls . Making me frightened,if she wants me to stick around, she don’t need to shout. “Are you okay?”, I question a little worried. Did I say something to annoy her and make her change??, she was fine just a few minutes ago. “I, I am really sorry. I don’t understand what’s wrong with me suddenly. But of course you can leave”, she responds stuttering, her voice a little lower now. Like as if she’s not the same person who shouted just now, something is up with her. I simply nod. Not saying a word because I don’t want to annoy her again. “MATE, you’re not going anywhere. You’re staying here where you belong, with us.I will take care of you so don’t worry”, a beastly like sound comes from her, more of growl and aggressive. I was frightened, my legs were shaking and my hands went numb. “Victoria, what’s happening??,and what’s wrong with your voice . You’re scaring me”, I stutter while looking at her. Her eyes held so much aggression. She looked so different. “It’s just me mate, I said I will protect you. So don’t worry”, she states lowly but with a growl, Is she bipolar??, is she going to hurt me??, all these were the questions running wildly through my head. “I think I need some fresh air”, I state as I felt suffocated with the air around me. I was feeling hot and uncomfortable. I got up from my sitting position and wanted to start walking out of the office and run as far as I could out of this place. “No!,you don’t.sit your juicy ass down mate”, she commands in a tone that I had no choice but to comply. Every part of my body gave in to her words, my mind is paralyzed with her words. Sitting down, I was frightened for my life. I have no idea why she changed in a snap. Even her physical expression read a different person. She became like a stranger, like someone that I couldn’t recognize. I look at her pacing forward towards me wearing a smirk on her face. The next I see, make my whole body in a state of shock. Her entire skin is replaced with fur, and her two feet are replaced with four paws. I front of me stands a huge wolf with silvery eyes. It looked very familiar like have seen before. Victoria turns into a massive wolf and I couldn’t breath nor grasp my thoughts around what is unfolding before my eyes. I felt my legs go jelly and lungs squeezed. I couldn’t breath and I couldn’t move. This felt like a long unending nightmare, where your lover turns into an unrecognizable being. She just stood there the silver eyes boring holes in me. The sharp canines were visible and her paws pacing up and down. I’m speechless, I can’t find words to say. I’m not even sure there’s anything to say at this point. What does this mean??, that my attack on the woods was her all along. She gives me a look like predator eyeing for its prey. That has me wondering, did she keep me alive this long just to end up feasting on me later on. “What are you?”,i try to bring words out. She don’t respond, I mean how is she even going to respond when she can’t speak , right?. She has features of a wolf but she’s too big for a wolf and her eyes are silver which it’s not on my knowledge that wolves have silvery eyes. She wings her tail as she gets closer to me. “Please don’t kill me”, I plead as I close my eyes shut,feeling her presence just a few feet away from me. Opening my eyes I meet the clear silver orbs gazing at me. “What do you plan to do to me?”, I question frightened while she don’t take her eyes off off me. Getting scared, betrayed and worried at the same time, I feel my head pounding. I hold on to my temples as I feel my temperature rising to lava state. I was having a panic attack and body is now registered to our current situation. My eyes were getting blurry and my feet, well I couldn’t feel both my legs and my arms. My lungs were giving up on me but the weirdest thing is my heart. It’s still called for Victoria, still believing that she won’t kill us. My mind, am losing my sanity. I have started hearing Victoria’s voice. “She won’t kill you, just hold on” That’s what it is saying constantly, is it the manifestation of my thoughts that’s trying to be positive at this moment?? “Just listen to my voice , you’re not going to die. You’re my other half and I won’t kill you” Well, that was the edge line before I felt my body give up and I embraced darkness.
