Chapter 79: Trip to Francisco

Alpha Derick's POV

I felt my heart clenched in pains while I walked back to my room

''You should have stayed with her.'' Eric murmured, but I ignored him and collapsed on my bed.

I took in a deep breath and processed all she said a few minutes ago, and wondered what she meant by being the one to die.

I closed my eyes and tried to make a mind link with Nora, but I wasn't getting signals from her.

''Damn.'' I grunted and tried one more time and this time she responded

''Alpha Derick, always disturbing my pleasant sleep.'' She murmured in a sleepy voice.

''Get up, Nora, I want to talk to you.'' I spoke Firmly

''I'm already up, and you are talking to me, what else.'' She grumbled

''Listen, Victoria made a statement about she dying, do you know anything about it.'' I asked

''No.'' She yawned tiredly

''I'm fucking serious Nora, Victoria won't say anything to me that's why I'm asking you.'' I spoke irritated

''And I said no, alpha Derick, I know nothing about it.'' She spoke back

''Don't give me that crab, Nora. I remembered you told me to cherish whatever moment I have with her, that she won't be here for long. What do you mean by that?'' I asked

''Oh alpha…''

''I need the Truth, Nora, don't fucking lie to me.'' I ordered

''Fine!'' She blurted out

''I don't know much but all I can tell you , is that I saw you in my vision crying for Victoria, in that vision it seems she was dead or lost, I just can't place it.''

''Shit.'' I stood on my feet and ran my fingers through my hair.

''Maybe you should talk to her and see if she can talk to you.'' Nora suggested, while I Tiredly heaved a sigh

''Or maybe we can just hypnotize her.'' My wolf proposed, but I ignored him

''Talk to you later, Nora.'' I said those Words and closed the mind link.

''What should I do.'' I grumbled helplessly and scattered my hair with my both hands.

''Alpha.'' Anthony rushed in, but I ignored him, walked up to my bar and poured some dry gin in a glass.

''Say what you have to say.'' I murmured and took a long sip of my drink.

''The gathering in Francisco has been shifted to the day after tomorrow,'' He announced, which made me stared at him, confused

''Why?'' I asked

''According to the general secretary who called, he said we received a letter from the vampires which calls for immediate attention, so the meeting needs to hold earlier instead of next week.'' He explained.

I took in a deep breath and drank everything in the glass

''And I also got a call from alpha Timothy and Alpha Silas. Both are requesting if you would love to stay in their pack during your stay in Francisco.

''I wanted to book a suite for you, but I thought I should inform you of their offer.'' He added .

I sat on the couch and thought for a while before speaking up

''Accept alpha Timothy's offer and tell him I will be coming with my mate.

''Roger that.'' He said those words and left.

Tiredly, I relaxed on the couch and made a mind link to Victoria, and she quickly responded,

''Alpha Derick?'' She whispered unsure

''Fuck!'' I murmured to myself. Her mind link voice was so melodious in my head, making my wolf howl in satisfaction.

''Yes it's me.'' I replied

''Oh, is there a problem.'' She asked

''No, just that we will leave for Francisco first thing tomorrow morning. The gathering was shifted.'' I explained.

''Why, is something wrong?'' She asked, getting worried

''No, no, everything is fine, you don't have to worry.'' I assured her

She thought for a while and spoke up

''Then I should start packing.''

''Yeah.'' I replied

''Alright.''

''Alright.'' I spoke awkwardly and closed the mind link.

''Goddess.'' I heaved a sigh and closed my Eyes.

The next day

''Your things are already in the car.'' I nodded my head at Tony's words and picked up my personal cell phone.

I checked my wristwatch and noticed it was already 8am, and our company's private jet would leave by 9am. Hurriedly, I left my room and went downstairs.

''Son.'' Dad called out to me, which made me groaned and looked his way.

''Are you leaving, I thought the gathering was scheduled for next week.'' He asked confused.

''It was shifted.'' I replied and went for the door, but he stopped me and stood before me.

''Will you ever forgive me?'' He asked in a pleading tone

''No.'' I blurted out without thinking about it.

''I'm sorry, I never wanted all this to happen.'' He apologized sincerely

''Well it happened dad. I need to go.'' I replied and angrily left the sitting room.

The moment I stepped out of the house, a familiar alluring scent reached my nose, which brought a familiar feeling into my stomach.

I took few steps to the garage and met her standing beside the car in a deep conversation with Jane.

The more steps I took closer to her, the more her enticing scents hit my nose, and my wolf howled excitedly.

I settled my gaze on her and noticed her red hair was parked in a bun, no makeup on her face, but she was incredibly beautiful.

She was putting on a black fitted jean which showed her sexy curves and made me jealous that others have to see it.

She wore a white crop top which exposed a brief part of her flat stomach, a fringed white scarf around her neck, a black fitted jacket and black boots on her feet.

''Damn!''

''He is here.'' Anita announced my presence, which made her glared at my direction.

I smiled awkwardly to her, but she just stared at me for a second and looked away, which hurt me badly.

''Is everything set?'' I asked Tony as I got to the car

''Yes, everything is in order.'' I nodded my head and moved my gaze to Victoria, who flashed me a cute frown

''You know Jane can take us there in a split of few seconds,'' She murmured

''I'm sorry, my wolf is to be blamed for it.'' I lied Firmly

''Liar.'' Eric grumbled in my head, but I ignored him and opened the car for her to get in.

''Remember, you just have to make a mind link to me, and I'll be there in a second.'' Jane said those words and gave Victoria a hug before she entered the car.

After a few minutes drive, I spoke up

''We will be staying in a friend's pack in Francisco. You don't have to get scared. I know him for long.''

''I'm not scared.'' She blurted out, annoyed

''Alright.'' I stared at her and noticed her gaze were fixed outside the window.

''Can I roll down.''? She asked.

''Yeah, sure.''

She pressed the button and rolled down the window. I heard her huffed a sigh of relief and lay down her head on the head seat of the car and shut her eyes.

I had the urge to pull her to myself and make her relaxed in my arms, but I held myself and looked away.

Where the jet was parked wasn't far from Agora town, and it took us just few minutes to get there.

I came out of the car and rushed to Victoria's side, but she had already rushed out of the car, which made me angry.

''What?'' She asked, sounding ignorant.

''Don't do that ever again.'' I spoke firmly, while she just nodded her head in response. It was obvious she wasn't in the mood to exchange words with me, which got me worried.

''Lets go.'' We walked beside each other and entered the Private jet.

We sat across each other at the window side while the air hostess helped Victoria fastened herself.

''We are leaving in a few minutes,'' The hostess announced

''The flight is one hour and few minutes' trip, weather is clear and no sign of disturbance.'' She added.

''Thank you, just get me a bottle of water, would you need anything?'' I directed those words to Victoria, but she just shook her head in disapproval.

''Alright, just get me a bottle of water.''

I settled my gaze on Victoria and noticed she was damn nervous, really nervous that she bites her lips in fear.

''Are you okay?'' I asked, but instead she closed her eyes as the plane took off.

Quickly I held her hand, which was on the table, and squeezed it tightly while I watched her exclaimed in relief.

Her eyes were shut tightly, and her lips sealed until the jet left the ground and settled on the Air.

Slowly she opened her eyes and stared at me with fear-filled eyes

''Are you okay.'' I asked while squeezing her hand

''Yeah, I just get nervous whenever the plane is taking off.'' She murmured and stared at our interlocked hands.

''Thanks.'' She flashed me a weak smile and tried taking her hand off mine, but I clung to it.

She stared at me with curious eyes, but I smiled back at her and relaxed on my seat with our hands interlocked.

''Relax and go to sleep, I'll be right here.'' I said those words because I noticed her eyes looks dull and lacks sleep.

She didn't say a word, but rather she relaxed on the seat and closed her eyes to sleep.

''Beautiful.'' My wolf whispered to me as I watched her fell asleep peacefully.
