Chapter 62: One of its kind

Victoria's POV

''Vampires.'' I asked in shock.

''Yeah vampires.'' Jamal responded casually

''Don't you think they will need our help? What if they are being attacked.'' I asked in fear, but Jamal chuckled loudly while shaking his head.

''They are not our enemies Vicky, those vampires work for Mom, mom pays them to do jobs for her.'' Jamal explained.

''Jobs like what?'' I asked curiously. ''Jobs like providing her information and so on, but don't bother about it, it's nothing that concerns you.'' I nodded my head to Jamal's words. There are a lot of things I don't know yet.

''Since we have nowhere to go, can we go to my father's place? It's just a short drive from here, and I haven't seen him for ages.'' I suggested.

''Yes miss, tell me the location.'' I beamed widely and told him the address of dad's house, and within a few minutes the car came to a halt in front of dad's residence.

Jamal and I got out of the car and we both walked towards the front door while I knocked on it.

The door opened, and a lady dressed as a maid stood before us.

''Hi, is my father in.'' I asked

''You must be miss Victoria, please come in.'' She flashed me a welcoming smile and widely opened the door for Jamal and I to walk in.

''I've heard so much about you from sir, he constantly talks about you, and I must say your pictures have been misleading me, you look prettier in person.'' I laughed softly at her words and moved my gaze around the sitting room, everything was just the way I left, three years ago.

''Please sit, I'll go inform sir that you are here.'' I nodded my head to her words and sat on the couch.

I moved my gaze and saw different pictures on the wall. Pictures of Dad and his wife, pictures of Dad and his little boy who I hadn't met, and pictures of Dad and I when I was still with him.

''Victoria.'' I heard dad's loud scream from the stairs as he hurriedly took the stairs downstairs.

''Father.'' I smiled widely as we gave each other a big hug. ''Oh my God, I miss you, baby.'' He placed a kiss on my forehead before staring at me with smiles all over his face. ''Look at you, all big.'' I chuckled at his words and we both took our seats.

''Hey dad, this is Jamal.''

''Hi Sir.'' Jamal greeted

''Laura's boy.'' He asked

''Yeah.''

''Welcome son.'' He smiled at Jamal, which Jamal returned.

''How are you, my dear?''

''I'm fine, father.''

Dad smiled at me before I noticed a worried look on his face.

''I'm sorry, I did not tell you about the prophecy and about your mom's death, I just didn't have the courage to do it.'' Dad murmured regretfully.

''It's okay dad, I understand.'' I assured him with a smile.

Dad took in a deep breath and gently stroked my hair like he would always do whenever he wanted to comfort me.

''How are you getting everything?''

I took in a deep breath and rested my head on his shoulder. ''I'm so scared, dad.'' I whispered truthfully.

''Then you can stay here and forget about everything.'' Dad suggested, but I shook my head. ''It's my destiny, dad, I can't run away from it.'' I murmured

I heard Dad sigh softly and continued stroking my hair. ''You know I'm here, If you ever need me.'' I nodded my head to dad's words but didn't say a word

''Miss Vicky, your driver is at the door. He said it is time to go.''hearing those words from dad's housekeeper, I sighed tiredly, and took off my head from dad's shoulder.

''See me before you go back to California, okay?''dad pleaded.

'' Okay.'' I flashed him a weak smile and stood up from the couch, while Jamal did the same. ''Bye dad.'' I placed a soft kiss on dad's cheek and walked away.

''We can go back to the mansion.''the driver uttered those words and started the car. The drive back to the mansion was a quiet one until we got to the mansion.

I got out of the car and walked into the sitting room only to find aunt, Austin and Jane waiting for us. ''Is everything okay.'' I asked, when I spotted the worried look on their faces.

''Yeah, come with me.'' Aunt said those words while I followed her upstairs.

''Is everything okay.'' I asked again, but she ignored me and pressed the codes on the door that leads to mother's tomb.

After showing mother's tomb to me, my aunt had never let me go there, and I wondered why she decided to take me there now.

Swallowing anxiously, we took the stairs that led to the tunnel where mom was buried.

We got to the tunnel and Aunt stood beside mom's tomb.

''Information just got to us.'' She spoke in a worried tone, which terrified me.

''About what?'' I asked,

She drew in a sharp breath and thought for a moment before settling her gaze on me.

''The vampires have gotten the vision, and they are super ready and confident about winning this fight because of him.''' Hearing those words from aunt, I shivered in fear and became curious.

''Who.''

''Bernardo, the son of Lucy, the vampire your mother killed, and he is the one who is to lead the vampires.'' She whispered, almost to herself.

''Bernardo.''only the sound of his name from my mouth brought fear to my entire body.

''He is powerful, Vicky, damn powerful. I knew he would have such powers, knowing that he is half vampire and half werewolf, one of its kind.

''Half werewolf.'' I asked, bewildered and in fear.

''Yes Vicky, the man who killed your mother is his stepfather, while his biological father was a werewolf like us.'' Aunt murmured in regret.

''Holy goddess.'' I stammered in shock.

''His stepfather murdered his biological father after he found out Lucy was pregnant for him.'' those words from aunt seized my breath with fear.

''Vicky, he is damn powerful, I don't know the power he possesses, but I know he can take down ten wolves in a split of few seconds.'' those words from aunt got me really scared, so scared that I felt my legs shaking.

She spotted the fear in me, walked up to me and placed her two hands on my shoulders.

''No need to get scared Vicky, your power will see you through, and alongside Derick we will win over them, and that's why I want to unleash your power and free your suppressed wolf, although you are not too strong for it, but I believe you can try to control it''She flashed me a weak smile and let go of my shoulders.

I can't tell how I felt when I heard those words from aunt. I remembered while I was in Agora I would pray for me to have my wolf someday, and now was that day, but I wasn't excited about it because I knew the burden and duties that come with it.

''Are you ready.'' Aunt asked.

I gulped nervously and nodded my head.

''Take off your clothes.''
