Chapter 70: You rejected me

Alpha Derick's POV

''Nina, what's going on.'' I asked the moment I stood before her

''Can you at least have a seat?''

''Just tell me what's going on.'' I asked impatiently

Nina heaved a sigh before she spoke up

''Victoria isn't your normal werewolf female, she is someone special and extraordinary, sadly you didn't notice that.'' She muttered out with a frown

''I still don't get it. What are you trying to say?'',

'' Victoria's wolf and abilities were withheld because of this fight. She was born for it, and you both will lead the werewolves together.'' She explained.

''Shit.'' I muttered out in regret

''She has a lot to learn before the war, and unfortunately, you are assigned to teach her all that she needs to know, but you guys have to do it real quick, time isn't on our side.'' Nina explained in a serious tone, with no glimpse of mischief in her.

''Shit.'' I muttered out and ran my fingers through my hair.

The thought of going into a war with Victoria beside me scares the shit out of me, while memories of my dream kept flashing in my head.

''Why her, this is a big risk.'' I complained out in anger. How could the moon goddess punish me in such a manner, how could she send Victoria into a fight with me when she knew I would never be able to take it, if anything happens to her.

''You don't question the goddess alpha Derick. She has her way of doing things, and we just have to abide by it '' Nina replied, while playing with a lock of her hair.

''Damn it.'' I grunted and scattered my hair with my both hands.

''Train her alpha Derick, there is no time to pick up blames on anyone, the clock is ticking, tick-tack.'' She advised.

I groaned in anger and turned to leave, but Nina's words stopped me

''I'll advise you to spend as much time as you can with her, and cherish every moment because she might not stay for too long.''

''What does that mean?'' I asked while I turned to Nina

''Nothing, Just an honest advice.'' She shrugged her shoulders and looked away, which made me realize there was more to this.

''As your alpha I command you to speak,'' I ordered as I felt scared for a moment

''There is nothing to say alpha Derick, it's just a simple suggestion and don't forget you guys have to mate before the fight,'' She responded firmly

''For your good, I hope you are telling the truth.'' I replied and walked out of the building.

I went back to the car and felt my wolf howled in discomfort and pains.

This was a tragedy. This was never the way I pictured or imagined it.

The moon goddess brought her to me, after so many months of searching for her, just for everything to turn out this way. The thought of Victoria fighting a vampire frightens me and made my heart pound in fear as I imagine what could happen to her.

I thought I had everything figured out, in as much as I craved for Victoria, I was a bit relieve when I realized she wasn't here and won't be taking part in the fight because she has no wolf, but I never knew the moon goddess was way ahead of me.

I noticed we were in the mansion and got out of the car. I went into the mansion and her alluring scent hit my nose, despite she was a bit far from me.

''Let's meet her.'' My mate begged, but I ignored him and walked into the sitting room

''Is everything alright?'' Anthony asked as he saw me

''Yeah, I'll go freshen up before I'll see her.'' I muttered those words to him and took the stairs back to my room.

I reached my door and wondered why Victoria's scents were so strong, like she was nearby, while the guest rooms were at the other side of the stairs.

Inhaling deeply, I entered my room, and met Victoria seated on my couch with her piercing gaze on me.

''Victoria.'' I muttered out, surprised

''That's me.'' She grinned evilly and stood on her feet

''Anthony never told me you were here.''

''Because He never knew when I left the room, and don't blame him for that.'' She beamed evilly at me and took few steps towards me.

Her presence was intruding, but somehow intimidating.

''I believe your seer must have explained everything to you.'' She muttered out with no sign of fear in her voice, like the fight meant nothing to her

''I can hide you far away when no one would see you, you just have to agree.'' I pleaded, the thought of losing her scared the shit out of me.

''I don't desire your help, alpha Derick and besides, I see no need of hiding when my people need me.'' She spoke firmly.

''Listen, I don't want to lose you, it will kill me if anything happens to you,'' I pleaded, not believing I was the one saying this.

She scoffed and stared at me with raised eyebrows

''Why would it kill you? I'm nothing to you…''

''Don't say that, you are my mate and my better half…'' She did not let me finish before cutting in

''I am not your mate alpha Derick, you should execute those thoughts in your head.'' She spoke Angrily.

Sighing heavily, I moved closed to her and could feel her hot breath on my face, which made me moan silently in satisfaction. I tried touching her, but she took a few steps backwards.

''Don't you dare touch me.'' She warned

''Vicky…'' I tried speaking, but she shut me up with her hand

''Please don't say a word alpha Derick, I would rather not hear it.'' She spoke in an angry tone

''You've rejected me as your mate, and I'll prefer we stick to that.''

''If I had known you were my mate, I will never have rejected you or treat you that way.'' I begged and tried moving closer to her, but I was shocked with what I saw.

''Stay back, don't you dare come closer to me.'' She yelled and brought forth her hands to me, which were bringing out flames of fire.

''Holy goddess.'' I muttered out in shock as I stared at her hands and back to Victoria.

''One more step closer to me and I'll make sure I consume you with this.'' She threatened

Actually, I wasn't scared of her threats but was only thrilled when I realized the astonishing gift she possess

''This is amazing.'' I complimented, but she groaned and put off the fire.

''Now you find me amazing.'' She asked in anger

''When I was a girl with no wolf and abilities, did you find me amazing.'' She asked in anger.

''Vicky.''

''Please allow me finish.'' She yelled at me while my wolf howled in pains.

''Would you have rejected me or had the thought of stoning me to death if I had my wolf and abilities.''she asked in anger

''I accepted you Vicky, even without a wolf, but you were already gone, and I couldn't find you.'' I tried explaining, but she shook her head in disbelief

''I don't believe that, I don't believe you.'' She uttered firmly

I took a deep breath in regrets and didn't know what to say or do. Indeed, she has all the right to get angry at me, but how do I tell her I accepted her the Very day I knew she was my real mate.

''I think we should forget about everything and focus on the big task ahead of us.'' She spoke firmly.

''You can't say that.'' I pleaded

''You rejected me as your mate'' She yelled in pains as tears filled her eyes. This was the first time she was showing any sign of weakness in front of me since she came back, and it broke my heart.

''I never rejected you Vicky.'' I expressed truthfully, and took a step towards her, and she did not move an inch, rather I noticed she threw back the tears in her eyes

''I was just confused, but the moment I knew you were my mate I accepted you with or without a wolf.'' I spoke truthfully hoping she would understand.

''Well, it's too late, alpha Derick. I can't see you as my mate and will advise you stick with Emma. She is perfect for you.''

''No.'' My wolf howled in anger, but I was speechless and didn't know what to say or do

''The relationship that exist between us is that of partners, teach me what I need to know and that's all I will need from you.''she declared firmly and all I could do, was to stand and stare, never in my life was I this helpless and weak

We stood there and stared at each other, but none of us said a word until she spoke up

''I believe training starts tomorrow. I beg to take my leave.'' She slightly lowered her head in respect and left the room.

I walked to my mini bar, opened a bottle of whiskey and drank everything in the bottle, while I felt the pain of rejection ran through my blood, and my wolf whimpering in pains

''You are alpha Derick, you won't give up on her.'' My Wolf whispered to me, which gave me a glimpse of hope

''Yes, I'm alpha Derick and I will do everything to win over her heart.'' I muttered those words as a promise to myself.
