Enemies

Alpha Derick's POV

''What… Did …you just…'' She stuttered with stunned eyes while gritting her teeth with pain. ''You are with a child.'' Bernard grumbled those words and took a step backward, while he stared at Victoria with worried filled eyes. ''No, no, please save my child…'' Victoria begged in a whisper while she clutched my shirt, begging me to do something.

''The more we delay, the poison will circulate round her body.'' Clinton announced those words while I became numb, not able to say or do a thing. Victoria was pregnant with my child, my first offspring was in her womb, which made my heart pound with panic.

''We have to do something alpha, there is no time left.'' Those words from Clinton brought me out from my thought and I had to stare at Victoria, whose eyes were blurred with tears.

''No.'' She mouthed those words to me while she weakly shook her head and gushed out a large quantity of blood from her mouth.

''We are losing her, do something.'' Clinton urged, which forced me to move the portion closer to Victoria's mouth while she shoved her head away. It was obvious she wants to avoid taking the portion.

''Please, we have to do this.'' I pleaded those words to her, but she shook her head and gushed out another large amount of blood. '' Shit, this is getting worse, we might lose her.'' Clinton yelled, which compelled me to forcefully hold the jaw of Victoria and forcefully opened it. Forcefully, I made her opened her mouth and poured the portion into her mouth. Quickly, I sealed her lips with my hand and forced her to gulp the portion into her mouth.

It took a while before I noticed she forcefully swallowed the antidote. Tiredly, I took off my hand from her mouth and pulled her tightly to myself, but just then she vomited a large quality of blood on the floor.

''We can now heal her.'' Clinton said, and quickly shut his eyes while the other healers did the same. With fear filled eyes, I fixed my gaze on the injury on her chest, and saw the blood ceased, and the injury healed within a second, leaving just a tiny scar on her chest.

''Thank goddess.'' Jane exclaimed in relief, while I heaved a heavy sigh and squeezed Victoria to myself, but she pulled herself away. We held each other gaze and I noticed her eyes were soaked with tears and anger.

''We will take our leave.'' Clinton said those words, gesturing to the other healers who were with him.

''Thank you. You'll meet a servant outside the door, he already has clothes for you guys.'' I said while they all nodded their head and left. The room was filled with silence, and only the silence sob of Victoria could be heard.

''You killed my baby!'' She yelled and pulled away from my arms. ''How dare you!'' She yelled those words to no one in particular, while she climbed down the bed and stood at the middle of the room with blood soaked clothes.

''You have to calm down, you've lost a lot of blood.'' I said in a pleading tone which she ignored and settled her angry gaze on Bernard who wore a guilty look on his Face.

''Have you seen what you've done?'' She asked and rushed to grab him by the collar.'' You killed my baby, how dare you kill my child'' She yelled while the intensity of her eyes became darker, indicating danger.'' My baby is not here with me because of you, because of your selfish desires I lost my pregnancy.'' She cried out and clenched tightly to his collar, ''Give me back my baby Bernard, let me have my baby.'' She yelled and shook him roughly, while he did not say a word or do a thing.

With weak feet, I stood on my feet but couldn't make a move. My body became numb, my feet quivered as the thought of Victoria losing her pregnancy strike me.

''I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, Vicky.'' He pleaded

''No you are not, you tried to kill Derick and wouldn't have brought the antidote if it was Derick that was injured by the knife. You tried to kill him!'' She yelled and uncontrollably released flames from her hands, but it didn't harm Bernard nor did he move an inch or flipped with fear.

''I wish I could just burn you to ashes.'' She yelled and increased the flames in her hands while she tightened her grips on his collars, but he wasn't hurt, not even his clothes were touched. With tear filled eyes, Victoria pulled away from him and took a step backward while she quenched the fire in her hands, took out a hair pin from her hair and cut her wrist with it.

''What…are you doing…'' I tried speaking, but she cut me off by her words.

''As my blood spill on the floor, I curse you, Bernard. Our lineage will never have anything to do with each other. We will hate and despise each other until eternity. My generations will never have anything to do with yours, and so will yours not have anything to do with mine.'' She declared those words while she held gaze with Bernard, who couldn't say a word. I watched Victoria swallowed in pain before taking a deep breath to calm her nerve.

''Please take him away.'' She directed those words to Jane, who quickly nods her head and moved her direction to Bernard.'' We have to leave.'' She said while Bernard nod his head and held my gaze. His eyes were filled with guilt and pain, and I wouldn't need to be told that he regrets his action. Like a twinkle of an eye, Jane teleported him away from the room, and I was left with Victoria, who was sobbing silently.

''Hey!'' I pulled her to myself, and gently ran my fingers through her hair while she wept on my chest. ''It will be alright, everything will be fine.'' I assured her with those words, but she shook her head in disbelief.

''He killed my baby.'' She mumbled in tears while I drew back tears that were threatening to fall down on my cheek. Victoria was in pain, and I don't want to weaken her by acting weak before her. Taking a deep breath, I pulled her away from me and cupped her cheeks with my both hands and said, '' More babies will come, we will fill up this mansion with many children who will run around giving you headache and joy. The boys will be mischievous and funny like me, while the girls will be beautiful and intelligent like their mother.'' Hearing those words from me brought a big smile on Victoria's face, which made me sigh in relief.

''No, I want my son to be strong and smart like their Father.'' She said with tears filled eyes, but this time the tears weren't tears of sorrow. '' Really?'' I said with raised brow, ''And who will be the father.'' I teased, while she rolled her eyes and looked away.

''Now is the time, dummy.''my wolf whispered in my head while I nervously shook my head.

''Don't tell me you are freaking out.'' My wolf mocked while I Ignored him and moved my attention to Victoria who was staring at me with curious eyes, ''Is something wrong.'' She asked while I nervously ran my fingers through my hair and said, ''I have something to say.'' I tried speaking in a firm voice, but it came out in a shaky, weak voice.
