Chapter 98: Suspicious
Victoria's POV
''He didn't notice.'' He asked
'Well, he would have, but I subdued my wolf and acted a good play before him ''I replied with a soft chuckle while I sat on the bed and took off my shoes.
''What next.'' He asked.
''I will start by investigating everyone responsible for my supposed death.'' I lied. Actually, I never told Clinton that the plan was to kill alpha Derick, I just lied to him and told him I think alpha Derick was involved in my death, that's why I don't want to reveal myself to him. So, he agreed to assist me in finding the truth, unknowingly to him, I never had the intention of investigating, all I wanted was to kill everyone involved in my supposed death.
''Alright, I'm here, if you need anything.'' He spoke sincerely
''Thanks Clinton, you are a true friend.'' I spoke sincerely.
''You are welcome.''
''Alright, I'll talk to you later.'' I said those words, and ended the mind link.
Sighing in relief, I moved my gaze around the room and noticed the room was properly arranged.
A sizeable bed was kept at the center of the room, a small closet, a mini fridge and a reading table for work.
Tiredly, I collapsed on the bed and slowly shut my eyes while memories flashed in my head, memories I wish to erase from my head.
''Victoria.'' I heard Bernard's voice in my head, which made me groaned and responded.
''I can hear you Bernard and if you are here to stop me from going on with my plans then you should not bother because I'm not going back on it.'' I spoke firmly.
''You've always been stubborn, despite having a different appearance you still haven't changed your rebellious character.'' He teased, but I chuckled and said
''No matter how many times a chameleon changes its identity, it can never change its true self.'' Hearing those words from me made Bernard scoffed.
''You are staying in the Mansion.'' He asked
''Yes, everything worked out fine, just like I planned.'' I spoke happily and sat on the bed
''This is insane Vicky, you are endangering yourself, what if they realized it's you and come for you.'' Bernard spoke with a worried tone which made me scoffed and said
''Then they all should get ready to get burnt alive because I won't spare them this time. I'm no longer that weak and timid girl they took advantage of ''I responded back with rage as memories of that day flashed in my head while my blood boiled with rage and revenge.
''Let this go, just come back home, and we can go back to France.'' He pleaded, but I shook my head to myself and ended the mind link.
Groaning softly I stood on my feet and slowly stretched out my hand to the reading desk, and slowly and with ease I lifted the desk without touching it, rather I controlled it playing with my hand. I settled my gaze on the one-seater couch and lifted it up, while I controlled it with my eyes.
Chuckling evilly, I kept the desk and couch back on the floor and stood before the mirror as I stared at myself in the mirror.
During the past two years, a different power enveloped me, one I didn't know I possessed. My powers became stronger, and more consuming as I reached my full potentials.
I could easily shift into my wolf, I can unleash fire that could burn a building down within a split of seconds. Not only that, I discovered I have the ability to move things around and also break things. The anger in me made me reach my full potentials and I couldn't wait to unleash them on my enemies, excluding alpha Derick because I wanted him to die a slow and painful death, different from the others.
A soft knock came on my door, which made me groaned and went for it. I opened it and realized it was a Servant standing by the door.
''Sorry for the disturbance, but alpha Derick invites you to have lunch with his family.'' She announced
''Alright, I'll be there.'' I said those words and closed the door.
I went back to the room and wondered what he was up to because I knew his invitation meant something and I needed to get ready for it.
''You can do this.'' I muttered those words of encouragement to myself and left the room. I took the stairs that lead to the dining table and met not let than five people seated around the table. Slowly, I made my way to the table while wearing a big smile on my face.
''Greetings.'' I greeted as I dragged out an empty seat which was far from alpha Derick because he was seated at the edged of the table while his father sir Luciano was seated at the other edge.
''You are Derick's new secretary.'' Sir Luciano asked while his piercing gaze was fixed on me
''Yes Sir.'' I replied With a friendly smile, which he returned.
''You have the same Aura as her.'' He murmured to himself, but I heard him
''Sorry?'' I asked,
''Never mind, please enjoy your meal.''
I nodded my head to his word and kept an empty plate In front of me while I noticed the curious eyes of alpha Derick's sister on me, but I wasn't bothered about it because she never knew me. She has been in Australia for a long time and just came back few months ago.
''Where are you originally from.'' She asked as she put a mouthful of spoon in her mouth
''I'm from…'' I wanted to speak, but then I noticed Jane teleported and appeared in the dining table.
''Jane.'' I whispered within myself and averted my gaze back to my plate and dished some food in it, while I totally avoided her gaze, which I knew was on me.
I noticed she dragged out the seat that was In front of me and sat on it while she stared at me with piercing gaze which made me uncomfortable, but I didn't let anyone noticed it.
''Is there a problem.'' I asked while meeting gaze with her. Now I knew the reason for this dinner, he brought her here to see me, I believe he must have told her about me, and she came here to see for herself.
''Victoria.'' She called out, like she was so sure of it which scared me, but I held myself and said
''Do I look like someone you know?'' I asked, acting ignorant, while her eyebrows furrowed confused. She stared at Derick and stared back at me With confused eyes.
''How is this possible.'' She murmured to herself
''What?'' I asked, acting confused
''My wolf recognizes you as Victoria, you even carry the same Aura as her, how is this possible if you are not Victoria.'' She spoke with a voice full of suspicion, and I knew I have to do something before she blows off my cover.
''I think I will have to leave, I can't stay here where my identity is being questioned.'' I said those words and Angrily stood on my feet, but Alpha Derick stood on his feet and blocked my way.
''We apologize for acting in such way, I promise no one will say such words to you.'' He begged, but I shook my head and said.
''Look at me, do I look anything like your mate.'' I spoke with annoyance.
''I'm Olivia, if you have any question about me, then you can go check me up and stop suspecting I'm someone else.'' I said those words in anger and left.
I took the stairs back to my room and aimlessly walked around the room.
''Damn it!'' I groaned and thought of a plan.
I knew Jane. She won't stop until she finds out everything about me, which is really risky for me.
''You can't hide your identity forever.'' My wolf spoke in my head which made me groaned and said
''You better keep quiet, or I'll subdue you again.'' I threatened, but she growled and said
''He will definitely find out in one way or the other.'' She spoke confidently
''Before that, I'll make sure I've carried out my plans.'' I yelled out
''What plans are you talking about.'' Jane's voice behind me made me shivered.
