DAMIEN'S POV
The fear in Victoria’s eyes was unmistakable, I saw it in her eyes the moment I mentioned that I wanted to see her wolf. I already knew that she was an alpha wolf, and I was pretty sure that she knew this. No wolf in the world would ever fail to recognize an alpha wolf. Their scent was nothing like ours, and this was why it was so easy to spot and submit to them. Everyone here already had an idea of who she was, and she was still trying to pretend as if she didn’t know who she was. I felt like she was pretending not to remember because she carried herself as someone who knew who she was.
I was cautious about her, I felt like there was more to her than met the eye. Something told me that all of my questions would be answered the moment I saw her wolf. I wanted to know why she was here, but she still claimed that she couldn’t remember anything, but I still didn’t believe her. The fact that she didn’t want me to know more about her past made me even more curious, I wanted to see what she was trying so hard to hide. I wondered if she was running away from something and if she was, what was it? It wasn’t like I could just dig I her past and start asking everyone in the wolf kingdom about her without getting killed. She was the only one who could tell me more about herself without me putting myself or my own kingdom at risk.
Another thing that concerned me was the fact that she was my second-chance mate. I was a hybrid wolf and being with an alpha wolf was almost unheard of. My kind was hunted and killed by her kind and yet here she was under my care. We had started our own separate kingdom in an attempt to keep ourselves away and safe from them. She was clearly in the process of the wolf kingdom
The funny thing is that I had heard that the former king only had a son before his death. All these inconsistencies were the reason why I just wanted this princess to be honest with me.
I could barely sleep at night as I couldn’t wait to finally see what she was trying so hard to hide from me. I wanted to see this wolf that she seemed terrified to show off to me. When morning came around I made sure that I got to the training grounds before she did.
A few moments later she came and I could see she was nervous.
“I don’t understand why I have to do this, do I have to prove to you that I really am a wolf?” she asked me
“I want you to turn right now” I ordered her
“why? What difference will it make? Do you think it will help me remember something?” she asked me and then scoffed “Because I can assure you that it won't ”
“Will you just do as you are told, or are you bad at taking instructions? ‘I asked her.
“I want to do as you are saying but my wolf won't cooperate, she doesn’t like being ordered around,” she said and I smirked.
“I thought you may say that,” I said glancing over at Mira who was ready for action.
“Who is she?” Victoria asked me
“she is your opponent” I stated
“my opp-“She didn’t even get to finish her sentence because Mira landed a quick blow to Victoria’s face and she fell to the ground
“what are you trying to “ Mira kicked her in the stomach before she could finish what she wanted to say or attempt to get up.
“you said your wolf needs inspiration and that is what I am giving to you,” I said nodding at Mira to continue and she did.
It was as if Victoria was refusing to fight Mira because she was just taking the beating and she wasn’t even trying to fight back. What was frustrating me now was the fact that I knew that she could fight and she was choosing not to. I could see by the way she walked and behaved that she was well-trained and yet she was choosing not to engage Mira. I hated the fact that I was doing this to my own mate but I had to get her to tell me the truth one way or the other.
“if you don’t…stop, I will….kill you” Victoria warned Mira and when I looked up at her I realized that her eyes had changed color and were now a shade of blue that almost glowed.
“Less talking…’ Mira said as she tried to kick Victoria again but this time Victoria caught her leg and got up to her feet.
“I told you to stop it” she commanded in a deadly voice that almost made her hard to recognize. There was something about this version of her that commanded respect from all of us.
I wanted to tell Mira to stop but Mira turned into her wolf form instead. She clearly thought that she could take Victoria on in that state and I decided to let it happen. After Mira turned, Victoria also turned into a huge black and white wolf that made Mira almost look like a domesticated dog. Victoria growled as Mira’s wolf sat down
What kind of an alpha wolf was this, Victoria was a female and there was no doubt about that. But her wolf was male, how was this possible? my mind was racing as I tried to make sense of what I was witnessing. I was trying to find reason and find a sensible explanation for this but there was none. Victoria was a female with a male wolf...
