VICTORIA’S POV
I woke up in a comfortable room and with bright lights. I could tell that I wasn’t alone in the room even though I hadn’t opened up my eyes yet. I could hear the male and the female voice as they discussed how I was doing and wondered how I had ended up in the situation that I had found myself in. Even though I couldn’t see where I was, I somehow felt very safe. I didn’t know who I was with or what their intentions with me where but I didn’t feel like my life was threatened.
The brightness of the room was making my eyes sting each time I opened them and my chest was burning. I was struggling to breathe and I wondered why it was taking this long for my body to heal.
“Relax…just breathe slowly” the guy standing next to me said. I couldn’t identify his scent. He didn’t smell like a wolf and he didn’t smell human either.
I panicked and tried to get up but struggled. How could I tell relax when I didn’t even know what kind of a creature I was dealing with
He helped me lie back on the bed again and then checked my temperature.
“You need to relax, you are safe here” he said “do you remember what happened to you?” he asked me.
How could I not remember the betrayal? The betrayal i felt when I realized that my uncle had been planning this from the day my father died? How could I not remember the fact that my life was doomed from the moment I was born all because I was a girl? How could I forget the outdated customs that my kingdom followed? I couldn’t control my tears at that point and the doctor seemed like he didn’t know how to deal with my outburst.
“Please call the boss” he said to the nurse and I suddenly felt like I was in trouble.
What the hell was wrong with me? I was a wolf, I highly trained wolf and there was no way I could ever get in trouble with humans or whatever specie they were. If I wanted to, I could easily kill all of them and it wouldn’t be anything. But they had saved my life and I was grateful for that.
“oh…she is awake” I heard a man say as he walked in. I could tell that he was the man that had found me from the sound of his voice. I had been eager to see the face of the man who had saved me and how now that I was looking at him I couldn’t stop staring at him.
He was everything that any girl would as their night in shining Armor to be but at the same time he wasn’t what I had imagined him to be. He was a big muscular guy with tattoos that were covering both his arms. He was quiet tall and I was certain that if I was standing next to him I would be up to his shoulders. The wolf in me immediately started sizing him up and I couldn’t help wondering who would win if we were in a fight.
Even though I was a girl and I was now living as one I still had the tendencies and habits that I used to have when I was supposed to be a boy.
“Did she tell you what her name is?” he asked cutting through my thoughts and that is when I remembered that I never had a girl name. My father refused to give me a girl name because he always thought that would make me attached to an identity that I couldn’t never assume. My mind started racing as I tried to figure out what name I could give him but I had nothing.
“No she didn’t tell us, she was struggling to get any words now but I think she is fine now” the doctor said.
“What is your name?” he demanded, his voice roaring with authority. I always an alpha wolf but his voice made me want to somehow recoil and bow down to him. There was something authoritative about his voice
“my name is…. I don’t remember” I instantly lied. I wasn’t about to tell him what my name is because that was embarrassing. I couldn’t introd8ce myself as Wyatt because I didn’t intent to continue living my life as Wyatt
“Oh that is normal… it is to be expected especially after what she has been through” the doctor said.
“Well that just won’t do, how long will this before?” the bossy guy asked.
“it could be a few days but that depends on what she went through prior to almost frowning” he said.
“Then we need to give her a name, how will I speak to someone who doesn’t have a name?” he asked seemingly annoyed by the fact that I didn’t know my own name. I had to keep reminding myself that I wasn’t an alpha wolf here, I couldn’t even identify the kind of creatures I was surrounded by and not only did I have to act like one of them to fit in but I also had to learn how to act like them.
“well I think I will leave that decision to you” the doctor said.
“Victoria.. she looks like a Victoria. That is probably her name anyway. Did you see the clothes she was wearing? What kind of young beautiful woman dresses like that?” he asked and I wondered what was wrong with the way I was dressed. I wanted to be offended by what she was saying but at the same time I was distracted by his icy blue eyes. They made me wonder what kind of person he was and why he seemed like he wanted to keep me here.
“I think Victoria is a perfect name for her” the doctor said looking at me as if he was expecting me to disagree with him or say that I didn’t like the name. I actually like the name because it was no where near to being similar to the name that I had been using my whole life.
I wanted to distance myself from my old life as much as I could but at the same time I didn’t want to just give up on kingdom. Everyone back home probably felt betrayed and hated me for the betrayal but I was also a victim. James had inly told them half the story and he hand stole them that he had contributed to this whole situation.
I was going to stay here Intel I gained back my strength and until I had a solid plan on what to do and how to get back what was rightfully mine. There was no way that I was going to allow James to get away with everything that he had done to me and all that he was stolen to me. I was going to punish him the way thieves deserved to be punished. He was no better than a thief because what he had done was thieving and I was going to cut off his hands after taking back what he stole from me.
