Chapter 76: His arms

Victoria's POV

''Answer me when I talk to you.'' He yelled and let go of her which made her fell on the floor and buried her head on the floor while I watched her shivered in fear.

I moved my gaze to alpha Derick and could notice he was panting heavily while his eyes were getting darker, which scares the shit out of me.

''Head up when I'm talking to you.'' He grunted in anger which made Clara sobbed loudly as she raised her head, but kept her gaze on the floor because she couldn't meet his gaze

''I'm so sorry, alpha.''she stammered in fear

''Be quiet.'' He yelled and clenched his both fist with anger while I noticed he has already lost himself and was being controlled by his Wolf, and I realized I had to do something.

''It's okay alpha Derick…'' I tried begging on her behalf, but He did not let me finish before cutting in

''Stay out of this Vicky.'' He spoke angrily while his gaze were still fixed on Clara.

Taking a deep breath, I move my gaze to Clinton and realized he looked unbothered with what was going on.

''I ask again, how dare you speak to my mate in such manner.'' He asked in rage

''I…never…knew… I swear by the godess,… I never knew she was your mate.'' She stammered in tears and her body shook with fear.

''You never knew.'' Alpha Derick asked in anger

''Yes… Alpha.'' She murmured in tears, which made me had a slight sympathy for her in my heart

''Stop it.'' My wolf spoke angrily

''Stop what.'' I uttered back

''Stop having pity for her, she deserves it.'' She murmured back, but I ignored her and made a mind link with alpha Derick

''Please it's okay, like she said she never knew.'' I pleaded

Initially, I wanted to scream and tell him I was never his mate, but then Clinton and Clara were here, and I can't show disrespect to him In front of these people.

Angrily he stared at me and groaned loudly which made me realized he must have heard me perfectly.

I gave him a pleading look, which made him grunts and looked away.

''I will let this pass because you claimed ignorance, but if such a thing repeats itself, then be ready to face my wrath.''

''Yes, alpha, it will never happen again.'' Clara whispered in relief

''Apologize to her.'' Alpha Derick ordered

''She doesn't have to, it's fine.'' I spoke up

''Well, it's not fine by me.'' Alpha Derick replied angrily, which made me gulped in fear and looked away.

''Go on, apologize to her.'' Alpha Derick ordered, which made her hastily stood on her feet and rushed over to me.

''I’…m.'' She tried speaking, but he cut in

''On your knees and beg.''

''Yes bitch, fall on my feet and beg.'' My Wolf whispered with excitement.

I noticed Clara moved her gaze to Clinton and gave him a pleading look to come save her, but he folded his hands and looked away.

''Don't get me angry.''alpha Derick spoke impatiently.

Shamefully, she fell on her knees right before me and gulped in pains and defeat.

Who would have thought that one day the almighty Clara would be on her knees right before me.

''I'm sorry, please forgive me.'' She murmured in tears.

''Not acceptable, call her by her name and apologize loudly.'' Alpha Derick ordered in anger, which made her gulped in pains and stared right at me.

''Victoria.'' She called out my name, and I could swear this was the first time she called my name after the disaster on my eighteenth birthday, which was two years ago.

''I'm sorry, please forgive me.' She muttered out in pains and defeat, which made my wolf howled in satisfaction.

''Apology accepted.''

''Thank you.'' She whimpered in pains and shamefully looked away.

''I'm letting you go this time because you claimed being ignorant, but next time it will never be an excuse.'' He spoke firmly

''Yes alpha.'' She murmured weakly

''You may leave.''

''Thank you.'' She stood on her feet and lowered her head in respect.

''See you later Vicky.'' Clinton spoke up and flashed me a smile before going for the door while Clara followed him with her head lowered to the ground, while I noticed she was still sobbing silently.

''I'll be in the room.'' Jane said those words and teleported away, leaving me with alpha Derick, who was still not himself.

I exclaimed nervously, and moved my gaze to him and noticed his eyes were still darker, which meant he was out of control and needs to be left alone to calm his Wolf

''I'll be in my room.'' I said those words and tried going for the door, but he held my wrist and pulled me in a tight hug.

''What are you doing.'' I asked as I struggled to released myself from his grip, but he held me tightly and said

''A minute, please give me a minute.'' He begged

When I heard those words from him, I felt weak in my bones and stopped struggling in his arms.

''Thank you.'' He murmured and held me tightly which made me relaxed and felt the comfort of his arms which felt like the safest place in the world.

I inhaled deeply and his fascinating scents of fresh woods hit my nose, and surprisingly I liked it and found myself squeezing my body to his.

I heard him exclaimed softly in relief and tenderly ran his fingers through my hair, which made me relaxed in his arms and felt loved.

I overheard him released a soft sigh and gently pulled me away, which made me grumbled within.

Actually, I never wanted to leave his arms.

He released me from his arms and stared right at me, which made me realized the color of his eyes were back to it's initial color and that dangerous aura around him few minutes ago were all gone.

''Join my family for dinner.'' He spoke almost like a plead and I nodded my head to it.

''Alright.'' He heaved a sigh and moved away from me, while I noticed he went up to his bar, poured some whiskey in a glass and drank everything in the glass.

Slowly he moved his gaze to me and I could see sadness in his eyes, which made me felt curious and wanted to know what was bothering him, but then, I remembered my revenge for him and decided to ignore.

''Bye.'' I muttered out firmly and left the room in a hurry.

''Are you okay?'' Jane asked the moment I stepped into the room

''Yeah, yeah.'' I replied quickly and sat on the bed

''Oh my God, you guys kissed.'' Jane exclaimed happily with a big smile on her Face

''Come on, stop that.'' I scoffed and looked away

''What? It's written all over you, your face is flushed.'' She uttered those words and chuckled softly, which made me stood on my feet and stood before the mirror to take a proper look at myself.

I stood before the mirror and realized she was indeed right. My face was flushed, and I hated it, wondering if Alpha Derick noticed it.

''So tell me what happened,'' Jane demanded teasingly

''Nothing, just a hug,'' I murmured, and sat back on the bed

''And?'' Jane asked, wanting to hear more

''Nothing, it just that I felt weird while in his arms. It felt like his arms were the safest place in the world and I just wanna be there.'' I murmured to myself

''I see.'' Jane teased

''Maybe it's because I haven't been hugged that way by other guys or something.''

''That's not true, you can't feel this way in the arms of another guy because he is not your mate.'' Jane said those words seriously, which made me heaved an angry sigh and collapsed on the bed with my back.

''Maybe you should listen to him and hear what he has to say…''

''Please stop it, he has nothing to say.'' I replied firmly

''But…''

''No Jane, please drop this topic.'' I muttered out firmly, which made her gave up and looked away.

Sighing tiredly, I tried getting some sleep, but Jane's words caught my attention.

''Bernard asked after you, infact, he told me he wants to see you.''

Quickly, I sat on the bed and stared at her with a confused look

''When did you meet him?'' I asked

''Yesterday, after I saw him choked that vampire to death.'' She explained.

I stood on my feet and walked around the room as so many thoughts went through my head

''Why do you think he wants to meet with me?'' I asked anxiously

''Maybe peace. I think he wants to talk about peace.'' Jane suggested

''Hmm.'' I nodded my head and thought for a while

This was risky, but I don't know why I was so curious, wanting to know what he has to say

''Fine, do you know where he is.'' I asked

''You wanna meet him.'' Jane asked in disbelief

''Yeah, do you know where we can meet him.'' I asked again

''Hmm, yeah, I Know where he stays.''

''No, it will be too dangerous, anywhere else?.'' I asked

''Not really, I only see him at parties and I don't know if any party is going on, and besides he lives with Christopher.'' She explained

''And who is Christopher.'' I asked curious

''His cousin, my supposed mate.'' She grumbled with a frown

''Oh.'' I exclaimed softly and weigh the action I was about to take, If it was really worth it.

''Alright, take me there.''

''Are you sure about this.'' She asked unsure

''Yeah, take me there.'' I spoke firmly

''If you say so.''
