The queen Alpha

Chapter 20

Nightmare becomes a reality.

My greatest fear came to life.

“Please..please.. just ..le..let me go..”, I see Roque leaning on the wooden door of the bathroom with drenched sweats and hands over heart pleading for me to let him go.

His appearance and facial expressions was one of terror, his eyes were turning red and he was shivering.

I was glued in one position not knowing what to do or say.

I felt a tight squeeze in my heart with how he was staring at me with a terrified look.

“I’m not going to say ,..aaaahhh”, he was speaking then suddenly he wallowed in pain.

The heat is returning because of his current situation.

He fell down holding his tummy while screaming in pain.

I knew that I had to snap out of my self pity world and help him with the pain.

“Roque, you need to listen to me”, I hesitantly said as I paced towards him.

“No, please..just let me go.. don’t kill me”, he shouts between his cries and pain.

“I’m not going to hurt you Roque, I just need to help you ease the pain . That’s all”, I reply trying to control the stuck up pain in my throat.

He goes silent for a moment before another wave of pain hit the both of us. I hold on to the sink taking deep breaths trying to control myself as I hear Roque scream in pain.

“You need to let me help you or you are going to die”, I unintentionally growl, Vera threatening to come out.

Roque curve on the corner of the bathroom, fear radiating from him.

“I’m sorry, but you need to understand that I am also in pain like you. I’m trying to control my wolf from taking control because I don’t want anything to happen to you. Now you need to get back in the bath tub and let me do what I gotta do. Yeah?”, I express doing my best to control my rage.

I see Roque nod slightly and then he gets up from the floor and goes back inside the bath tub and sit down his head facing the floor.

I see bags full of ice cubes on the floor near the shelves and I refill the bathtub with them.

I then get inside the bathtub and join Roque who’s still radiating off fear.

“It’s okay, just lean your back on my chest and my touch will ease the pain”, I explain to him as he hesitantly respond.

I could hear his heart racing wildly,but as soon as I placed my arms on his upper arms he calmly felt comfortable and his heart regulated normally.

I felt like this should be the right moment to explain to him about everything that happened and has happened so as to hear what he gotta say.

“Uhm Roque?”, I call his name out and he startled.

“Uh yes?”, he responded in a low voice.

“I just need you to listen to what I gotta say . Is that okay?”, I question.

He goes silent for a minute, probably contemplating and fighting with his thoughts.

“I guess it’s fine”, he breaths out after a while.

Okay , ‘where should I start’. I thought to myself since there’s a whole lot of things to explain.

“Do you remember me?”, I begin with the obvious.

“Victoria”, he responds lowly.

Well, good.

At least he remembers my name .

“Okay, I’m Victoria and I’m the Queen of the werewolf world and Alpha of the royal pack”, I state.

“Uh you mean werewolf. Like the full moon werewolf??, Derek hale??”, he astoundingly questioned.

I try to hide my laugh with how he related the whole situation with a teen wolf character.

“Yes quite closely but there’s other things that are fictional and facts, you’ll understand with time”, I tell him.

He simply nods as he seems to still be in consternation.

“So there are people who hunts us the supernatural beings. The hunters, and they have killed a lot of my kind in the past. So it’s a killing game. Kill or be killed”, I express taking a deep breath before I continue.

“The morning that we caught you, we thought you were a hunter since you were with the Salvador brothers. They escaped and we caught you. I needed answers and I thought only you could answer and that’s why I tortured you”, I express as emotions hit my head like a ride on a roller coaster.

I felt anguish and agitated just thinking about the Salvador brothers but guilt and shame flooded my chest as I remember how I tortured my mate.

“So why didn’t you kill me . Why did you treat my wounds and continued to keep me here after you almost killed me??”, he questions dauntlessly.

“Because I obviously realized you weren’t a hunter”, I respond knowing well there’s more to that.

“I still don’t get it. Why am I still here and why didn’t you tell me the truth after I woke up and lost those memories. And why was the wolf in your office calling me ‘mate’. Why can’t I hate you even if I want to??, why was I in pain and only your touch could ease it?, why,why?, he frustratedly shouts now turning around to look at me attentively.

We both facing each inside the bathtub as the air ricked of tension.

I was in awe with everything he just asked, and i didn’t know how to answer them .

“Please Victoria, you need to tell me why everything is happening now. I need to understand before I lose my f*****g brain and think that I’m going crazy and loosing my sanity”, he pleads as tears threaten to fall from his perfect green orbs.

“Everything changed because of that f*****g box and I just couldn’t shove down the fact that you’re my mate”, I respond dumbfounded.

“What??, what box??”, he questions curiously.

Uhh nice one Victoria, you just had to talk about the box. Didn’t you??.

Oh s**t, I need to think of something different. I don’t want to talk about the Medinas now , so think Victoria, think.

“Uhm , the box containing hunters details”, I shamelessly lie.

The f**k am I even talking about, the box with hunter details??, seriously. I need to improve on my creativity.

“What does that have to do with me though?”, Roque’s question snapped me out of my thoughts.

“Uh , because your details weren’t available”, I say faking a plastered smile.

Roque looks at me keenly without responding as if he figured out I’m lying.

After a moment of awkward silence, he speaks out again.

“What is a mate?”, he asked.

Well, this is it then.

“A mate is like your forever partner. Like a soulmate. The goddess gifts everyone with their mate when they turn eighteen years of age”, I explain.

“A soulmate you said??, I’m your soulmate??”, he questions before breaking out a laughter which doesn’t reach his eyes.

His expression being confused and nervous.

I totally understand why he was feeling this way, it’s already too much for him.

“Yes Roque, you are my mate. And you asked earlier why the wolf was calling you mate, that was the wolf version of me, Vera. You will meet her soon officially”. I explain.

The look in his face went from being shocked to bewildered.

“Oh you mean there’s like the two of you in one. Right”, he questions between a crying laughter.

I felt pity and bad for him since it was too much information for his human brain which could only handle much information.

“Yes, but you don’t need to worry. She loves you . She won’t intentionally hurt you”, I try to lighten up his fear, knowing very well how much of a trouble make Vera can be.

“Okay, so are you eighteen years old??and you people only have human ‘mates’?”,he questions as he puts exclamation marks in the air at the mention of mate.

How the heck does he think I’m only eighteen years!’?, oh because I mentioned we only find our mates at that age.

“No Roque, I am twenty three years of age I was just late with finding my mate. And no, we don’t mate with humans only. In fact it’s very rare almost unheard of. that’s why I’m already screwing up a lot since this is so new to me”, I express as I chuckle lightly realizing how I’m being hard on myself when this is actually so new.

“Oohh”, is all that comes out of Roque’s mouth followed by a heavy sigh.

All I could hope for at this time was for Roque to at least understand a tiny fraction of everything I just said.
