Chapter 96: A different appearance
Alpha Derick's POV
''What should I tell them.'' Tony asked as he glared at me with a pitiful gaze, which I hated so much.
''Never mind, I'll go see them myself.'' I stood on my feet, Angrily left my room and made my way to the sitting room. As I walked to this sitting room, I nodded my head to the greetings of my subjects I met on my way.
In no time, I was in the sitting room, and everyone rose to their feet the moment they noticed my presence. I stared at their faces and could see guilt on the faces of some, while some wore an expressionless face.
''Why are you here.'' I said those words to no specific person before taking my seat.
''At least you should welcome us.'' Alpha Lin spoke up
''I don't welcome my Enemies, you all are my enemies including the remaining members of the wolverines, and now I ask again what the fuck do you want.'' I asked Angrily as I clenched my both fist.
''Calm down alpha Eric…'' Elliot tried speaking, but I cut him off
''Don't you dare tell me to calm down.'' I spoke loudly, getting agitated.
''Say what you are here to say, I'm really busy.'' I added as I ran my gaze on four of them and noticed there were really terrified, but they were doing a good job hiding it.
''I'll go first.'' Lin stood on his feet, and we settled gaze with each other before he spoke up
''Regardless of what you do your mate Victoria is a legend to us, her name can never be forgotten in our mouths…'' I groaned at his words, but waited for him to finish.
He heaved a sigh and continued speaking
''We are here, so we could fix her funeral, and also let the Kingdom of the werewolves pay their respect to her…''
''Never.'' I blurted out as I stood to my feet.
''That will never happen, not when I'm still alive.'' I yelled in rage and moved my gaze around them
''My mate is not dead, my wolf doesn't recognize her dead so no matter how many years that is gone I know she is still Alive, waiting for the right time to show up.'' I spoke up with anger.
''Stop this Alpha Derick, it's been two years now, and you should get a grip of yourself…''
''Don't you dare, don't you dare say those words to me.'' I yelled and took a step closer to them.
''The reason you all are still seated here is because I want to avoid shedding blood in my sitting room.'' I spoke Angrily and settled my gaze with them.
''Leave!'' I yelled and noticed the room shook by the sound of my voice, while the four alphas seated on the couch stood to their feet in a rush.
''Like I said, I will kill you all.'' I muttered those words as a Promise as I move my gaze around them.
''I will kill everyone who was involved in Victoria's case and I will not spare anyone and that's a promise.'' I declared those words and walked away.
''Damn it!'' I blurted out in anger as I felt my heart clenched in pain.
I walked to my office, collapsed on my seat and tiredly massaged my forehead as I thought of what to do.
For the past two years, everyone has concluded her death but not my wolf, my wolf believes she is alive, and I trust him because the bond I share with Victoria can't lie to me.
''Alpha.'' Anthony stood before me
''The applicants for the interview will be here in few minutes, will you do the interview or should I do it.'' He asked.
Tiredly I heaved a sigh and spoke up
''Any news from the investigators.'' I asked
''No news yet.'' I nodded my head to his words and leaned on the desk With my elbows, but I did not say a word.
''Maybe I shouldn't have let her leave my side.'' I said those words to no one in particular.
''I'm careless, so careless.'' I hit the table with my left fist and a crack came on the desk.
''If Only I was careful enough, all these wouldn't have happened, my Victoria would still be here with me.'' I yelled as tears clouded my eyes, but I withdrew them back.
''Not your fault, we will find her when the time is right.'' Eric whispered in my head, which gave me the strength I needed. I drew in a long breath and relaxed on the chair as the memories of Victoria played in my head.
''Alpha, maybe I should interview them myself.'' Tony suggested.
''No, I'll do it myself.'' I spoke with my eyes closed.
''Alright, I'll inform you once the interview is set.'' Tony said, while I nodded my head to his words.
''Alpha Eric.'' I heard Jane's voice in my office, which made me opened my eyes.
''Greetings.'' She greeted and sat on the couch.
''Hey!'' I replied weakly and sat properly
''What brings you here.'' I asked because the look she was wearing says all wasn't well.
''I have been having this strange dreams.'' She murmured to herself
''And this dreams looks so real'' She mumbled and shook her head in fear. Seeing her reactions, it was obvious she was terrified by the dream.
I stood on my feet, walked up to her and sat beside her while I gently massaged her tensed shoulder.
''Calm down and tell me what's wrong.'' I pleaded.
''I can't…say it…'' She stammered with fear as she twists her fingers.
''Calm down.'' I said those words and gently massaged her tensed shoulder.
''Relax, take a deep breath and relax, you don't have to rush it.'' I assured her and took my hands off her shoulder while I allowed her to take her Time.
''I saw you lying in your pool of blood gasping for air while Victoria stood before you having a victorious smile on her face. Believe me, the dream feels so real, I don't know what's wrong with me.'' Jane murmured.
''Nothing is wrong with you, and I also have similar dreams, I see myself lying in my pool of blood, but there was no Victoria, it was just me.''
''Then you should meet your seer.'' Jane suggested
''No, not now.'' I responded and stood on my feet.
''Don't worry yourself, just go home and have some rest.'' I told her, while she nodded her head and teleported away.
For the past one month, I have been having strange dreams where I see myself on the pool of my blood, but I wasn't bothered or scared of it, all I wanted was to see Victoria one more time.''
''Alpha, the applicants are here.'' Tony announced as he stood by the door
''I'll…'' I wanted to speak, but the loud howl from my wolf made my head ached.
''Mate!'' He howled loudly and excitedly.
''Victoria!'' I murmured to myself as the alluring scent of fresh honey mixed with nutmeg hit my nose.
''Is something wrong.'' Tony asked, but I ignored him and rushed out of my room, following the direction of the scent.
''She is here, Victoria is here.'' My wolf spoke excitedly and pushed my feet forward to the direction of the waiting room.
Hurriedly I opened the door, dashed inside the room and saw more than thirty applicants waiting for the interview.
''Mate!'' Eric growled in my head as I moved my gaze around trying to spot Victoria until my eyes fell on her.
She was standing on her feet, putting on a navy-blue suit. Her Black curly hair fell on her shoulders, red lipstick on her lips and sea blue eyes which reminds me of someone.
''Victoria.'' My Wolf pushed me forward to her and made me stood before her, while the fascinating scent of fresh honey mixed with nutmeg hit my nose.
''Victoria?'' I whispered as I stared at the strange lady In front of me.
''Hello alpha Derick, nice to meet you.'' She greeted with a big smile on her face while she brought forth her hand to me for a handshake.
''Victoria?'' I called out again with confused eyebrows.
''Oh forgive my manners.'' She chuckled and continued
''I'm Olivia Desmond.'' She responded while her hand was still stretched out for a handshake.
''This is impossible.'' I murmured out as my heart beat accelerate while staring at her.
''Is everything okay.'' Anthony asked as he stood beside me.
''Are you okay alpha Derick.'' She asked confused as she gave me a quizzical look, like this was actually the first time she was meeting me.
''Come with me.'' I said those words and made my way back to my office while she followed me behind.
''What is going on.'' I asked my wolf.
''She is our mate.'' He replied, while I shook my head and entered my office. I turned around and saw her stood by the door.
''Mate.''my wolf spoke possessively and pushed me forward to her.
''Is there something wrong, I can just leave.'' She muttered out in fear as she leaned on the door with her back while her eyes dilated with fear.
''Victoria, you are Victoria.'' I spoke Firmly
''I'm not, I think you are mistaking me for someone, my name is Olivia, I'm Olivia.'' She spoke firmly
''No, you are my mate.'' I moved my eyes to the corner of her neck and saw my mark still imprinted there.
''How did you get such a mark.'' I asked as I gulped in fear.
''This?.'' She asked as she ran her fingers on it.
''Yes, this is my mark, the exact place I marked Victoria.'' I spoke confused.
''You are mistaking me for someone, this is the mark of my mate who died a year ago.'' She responded
''How is this possible.'' I muttered out as I shook my head.
How is it possible that she has Victoria's scents and Aura when she is a total different person, different in appearance, different voice tone and different name.
''Her review states that she know Bernard.'' Tony spoke up while going through her file
''Yes, Bernard was a good friend to my mate, I met him few days ago and he was the one who told me about this job.'' She spoke confidently.
''No!'' I murmured and shook my head
''There is a mix-up somewhere, maybe my wolf is just confused.'' I whispered to myself
''Damn you, I'm not confused, this is Victoria.'' He spoke confidently, but I shook my head in disbelief.
''I think I will take my leave, this is really awkward.'' She said those words and went for the doorknob, but I stopped her
''Stay, you are employed.!''
