Chapter 53: Fast approaching

Victoria's POV

Three months later.

''Watch out Vicky.'' Austin called out to my attention, but lady Laura was too fast and pushed me to the ground.

''Ahh.'' I groaned in pain and rolled on the floor while I held my broken arm.

''You need to work on your speed, Vicky.'' Aunt yelled and walked away.

''Are you okay?'' Austin tried comforting me, but I ignored him and stood up from the floor.

''Victoria.'' He called out to me, but I ignored him and went away while I held my broken arm.

I left the training grounds and walked into the mansion, only to see Jamal coming down the stairs.

''Rough day today, huh?'' He asked with a mockery, which I scorned and climbed the stairs.

''Do you need some painkillers?'' He asked, but I gave him my middle finger.

I went to my room, which was my mother's room before she died.

I stepped into the room, closed the door and collapsed on the bed while I sighed in pain and held my arm.

Life here for the past three months has been hectic for me. Every day, I have to undergo series of training sessions and fights with people who have gotten so much more experience than I.

Initially, when I first came here, I thought here was a pack filled with other werewolves, but after living here for weeks, I realized we were the only ones living in this wood.

Before we can get to town or where humans are staying, we will have to walk a few miles to get to the town close to us.

According to Lady Laura, she said her great-grandfather and his twin brother, who wanted to stay away from humans when they realized they were different from humans, built this house.

They thought it was best to stay away from humans until they are recognized by the world that they are not harmful and dangerous like the world thinks.

So many years had passed, and the world had accepted werewolves, but aunt Laura decided to stay back here with her family and servants because of the prophecy that was to come.

Sighing tiredly, I stood up from the bed and walked up to the picture of mom kept on the dressing mirror.

Indeed, lady Laura was right when she said I should see mother in me because I was a replica of her.

She has sea-blue eyes, black curly hair which fell on her shoulders and a V-shaped face exactly like mine.

Moaning tiredly, I took off my clothes and walked into the bathroom, put on the cold shower and stood in it, while I slowly scrubbed my body.

As I took my bath, my thoughts went to Alpha Derick and a different kind of anger enveloped my body.

Even after knowing he was my mate, I couldn't help but have hatred for him. Every night that passes by, I always remember how he hated me, how he rejected me and how he almost killed me just because he never wanted a mate like me.

''Just wait, alpha Derick, you won't know what's hitting you.'' I whispered those words to myself and put off the shower.

I walked back to my room naked, stood before my dressing mirror and stared at the bruise on my left arm, and my thoughts went to someone.

''Clinton.'' I murmured in pain as my thoughts went to him.

I wondered how he would feel about my disappearance, and hoped he had finally found his mate.

I left the dressing mirror, took out a clean towel from my closet and cleaned my body with it before taking out a simple blue dress and kept it on the bed.

''Hey special one.'' Jane spoke up from a corner, which made my heart skip. I still wasn't used to her badging on me.

''Stop calling me that, and I remember Lady Laura warned you to stop using your abilities when you are home.'' I murmured and started putting on my clothes.

''Whatever, listen, there is something I need to tell you.'' She whispered while moving closer to me.

''Which is.'' I asked reluctantly. Jane sat on the bed and thought for a while before she spoke up.

''There is this pool party happening in town, and I want you to come. The party is at midnight and I promise you mom won't find out.'' She suggested.

''No.'' I bluntly refused and went back to the mirror,

''Listen.'' She stood up from the bed and stood in front of the mirror, thereby blocking my view.

''You haven't left these woods since you came here. Don't you want to meet and talk to people.''

''I don't wish to, and besides, what if your mother found out?''

''She won't, I have someone who will keep an eye on her and once she comes looking for you, the servant will inform me through mind link and I will transport you back, so easily.'' She tried convincing me, but I wasn't buying it.

''No Jane, I would rather not get into trouble. Lady Laura is already going hard on me with training. I barely have time for myself,'' I murmured tiredly.

In as much as I wish to leave these woods, I can't get in trouble because of some stupid party.

Jane thought for a while before she beamed at me.

''What is it?'' I grumbled,

''I have a secret to tell. Only if you'll agree to come with me.''

I shook my head and left the mirror. ''It's risky, Jane, I don't wanna get into trouble.'' I begged.

''You won't, trust me.'' She spoke sincerely.

I sat on my bed and thought for a while, at least there was no harm in seeing the world. For the past three months, I've only been to the woods seeing the same set of people repeatedly, Maybe it's time I had a little fun.

''Fine, I'll go with you, but what's the secret you have to tell?'' I asked with curiosity.

Jane smiled widely at me before speaking up.

''I overheard mother telling Austin that she will unleash your wolf and abilities on your mother's birthday, which is in two months' time.'' Jane announced with excitement.

Getting this news from her, I don't know if I should feel happy about it because getting my wolf and abilities means only one thing, time is fast approaching.
