Let us fight

Victoria's POV

It's been three hours now, and I've been trying to convince alpha Derick why I should fight this war with him and the other werewolves, but he wasn't listening. He was bent on his decision of sending me away.

''You are going and that's final,'' He said in an authoritative voice before leaving the room.

Angrily, I tapped my feet on the floor. I knew Alpha Derick, and his words weren't just mere words; he meant them. Tiredly, I sat on the bed and made a telepath to my Wolf.

''What do you say?” I asked.

''No comment,” She responded.

''As usual, you'll always side him,” I grumbled while she growled and shut herself away from me. Few minutes later, a knock came to the door which I knew belongs to a servant.

''Yes?'' I responded.

''Alpha Derick is waiting for you at the dining table for breakfast,'' She announced from the door, which forced a heavy sigh from my lips.

''Alright, I'll be there,” I said and stood on my feet.

With heavy feet, I left the room and took the stairs down to the sitting room. Responding to the greetings of the servants, I made my way to the dining and met everyone already seated on the table apart from a vacant seat which was by Alpha Derick's right side.

Without being told, I knew that was my seat. I said some friendly good morning greetings to Alpha Derick's father and sister, who were wearing big smiles on their faces. Returning their smile, I took the seat beside alpha Derick and stole a glimpse of him. He was putting on a cold, angry look and entirely ignored my presence like I wasn't there beside him at all.

Sighing heavily, I placed an empty plate before me and dished in some porridge into my plate. I stared at alpha Derick's plate and noticed his plate was empty, and he wasn't making an attempt to fill it up.

''Should I?'' I asked and received a quick nod of disapproval from him. Sighing softly, I forced a spoon of porridge into my mouth while fixing my gaze in the plate.

''Your flight is by 6pm, hope you are prepared,” Alpha Derick's voice came out cold and commanding.

''But…'' I wanted to speak but was cut off by his father

''I told you I'm not leaving.” His father protested, which made me realize he wasn't referring to me. The flight wasn't for me, but for his father.

''Yes brother, I'm also not going,'' His sister grumbled, which made alpha Derick grit his teeth with rage.

''It's not a matter of choice; you both are leaving!” He declared those words as an order while moving his gaze on the both of them.

''You can't send us off just like that. Remember, I was once an alpha and can still be useful in this fight. You don't expect me to run away like a coward!” His father yelled these words.

Alpha Derick groaned and said, ''You three are the most important things in my life, and I'll do everything to make sure you are safe, and that's by sending you three away. You two will leave today and Victoria leaves to a different location come tomorrow.''

Hearing those words from him, I dropped my spoon on my plate and met his gaze. The expression on his face was too scary for me to hold for even a second.

Swallowing nervously, I decided to speak

''Alpha Derick.'' I called his attention and got a soft groan as a response, but that didn't stop me from going on.

''You can't send us away.'' I said while avoiding his gaze, and could feel his gaze piercing through my skin.

''We all are werewolves, and it's our right to fight for our kind, and you can't stop us from doing so.'' I said in a firm voice, still avoiding his gaze

''Victoria!'' He called my name, but I gulped and couldn't meet his gaze…

''Why don't you look me in the face and speak.'' He asked in a rather cool voice, different from the voice he has been using. Hearing the tone of his voice, I became relived and raised my head to his direction. Nervously, I met his gaze and noticed that cold and terrifying look he had on his face were all gone.

''Did I scare you.'' He asked in his normal caring and soft tone.

''A bit.'' I gulped and heard him heaved a heavy sigh. Tiredly, he ran his fingers through his hair before massaging his forehead. Taking a closer look at him, I could see that he was distressed and scared, and it was turning him into something else.

''Hey.'' I whispered and leaned closer to him

''You don't have to worry about us, we can take care of ourselves.'' I assured him with those words and got an agreement nod from his father and sister. Moving closer to him, I placed my hand on his, which was placed on the table. Gently, I squeezed it and flashed him a big smile.

''You don't expect me to hide away with my abilities when you know most werewolves agreed to this fight just because they knew I will be fighting with them. You don't want me to scare them away and put us in big risk of losing.'' I said and saw a big frown on alpha Derick's face.

''I have to fight this war, this is my destiny, it was prophesied even before my birth and I won't run away from it.'' Those words came out strongly as a declaration from my lips.'' I'm going to fight this war and we both will watch each other's back ''I said, and gently squeezed his hand which he responded by squeezing my hand.

Sucking in a deep breath, he turned my hand and was holding my hand with his both hands. We held each other's gaze and I could see fear and worries in his eyes.

''You know I'll die if anything happens to you.'' Those words of his, made my heart beat increased, but I spoke up quickly

''Then I'll make sure to stay alive.'' I assured, with a weak smile, which he did not return.

Heaving a deep sigh, He lifted my hand and placed a soft kiss on it before letting go of it.

''Can I say no to you?'' He grumbled and sat properly on his seat. Without saying a word, I dished some porridge into his plates and nod my head, asking him to go ahead and eat.

We all eat in silence, with none of us saying a word until we were all through.

''Do well to cancel the flight.'' His father said while standing to his feet.

''Indeed.' He forced those words out of his mouth as he also stood on his feet. Without saying a word, I followed him upstairs. We got to his room and I saw him silent for a while, in deep thought, which worries me.

''Is everything okay.'' I asked as I strode closer to him.

''Yes, I just got information that the venue of the fight is here in California.'' He announced those words while I just stood and listened.

''Which particular venue.'' I asked

''Green woods Forest, that is located in the snow pack.'' He said, while I sighed and sat on the bed. This was really happening, this fight was happening, and my fear was coming to pass.

''Are you okay, you are sweating profusely.'' Derrick asked while squatting before me with a worried look.

''Yeah, I'm fine, I'm just worried about father.'' I lied,

''Then call him on the phone.'' He said while I nodded my head. Sighing heavily, He moved his hands to the back of his neck, and took out the necklace I never knew he was putting on.

''I believe this is yours.'' He said and put the necklace around my neck with a weak smile on his face.

''Thanks!'' I said as I rubbed the pendant of the necklace with my fingers.

''Vicky!'' He called out to me,

''Yes, Derick.'' I responded and held his gaze

''The fight is taking place the day after tomorrow, and I'm really scared.'' He said and nervously bites his lips.

''I'll let you fight this battle, but once it gets heated, I'll have no option than to send you away.'' He said those words in a commanding tone that has no room for argument.

''Fine.'' I agreed to his demand and saw him sucked in a deep breath before getting up. He moved closer to me and gave me a tight hug. My head was rested on his stomach while I wrapped my hands around his waist and relaxed in his arms.

With closed eyes, my dream flashed in my head, but I did not shake it off, rather I made a promise to myself that I'll make sure I don't leave alpha Derick's side no matter what.

A knock came on the foot which made Alpha Derick groaned as he moves his attention to the door.

''Yes?''

''My lord. lady Emma and alpha Elliot are here to see you.''The male servant announced from the door.

''What are they doing here.''He grumbled, and pulled away from me.
