CHAPTER Eight

Victoria’s POV

I thought that I must be dreaming. This hunk of a male had taken me away from the hell hole that I thought was my forever destiny. .he smelled so good, and I wondered if this was too good to be true.

How could he want me?

Eliza was much more suitable to him.

I held my breath and wanted this dream never to end.

Good things just never happened to me.

So why now?

It was madness.

“Victoria, you are awake. How are you feeling?”

Oh, my goddess.

He was staring right at me.

I must have looked at the correct state.

He smelled so divine, so delicious.

He would surely only be nice to me because he felt sorry for me.

He was gorgeous, and those eyes.

Oh wow.

My heart was going wild, thumping away in my chest while my stomach did flip over and over again.

“Victoria?” he spoke again, amused at my blushing.

I looked around and realised that I did not recognise this place. I was taken aback by how beautiful it was. The building in front of us was huge, like an old caste from the fairy stories you would hear about as a child.

“Yes. Yes, sir?” I quickly returned to my senses and felt guilty for staring so long at the building.

I could not help but feel like it was a happy place; good vibes radiated around me. Children laughed and joked as they ran freely through the massive green gardens surrounding the beautiful building. While their parents sat smiling and talking amongst themselves. Others were racing around in wolf form. I had never seen or heard of anything like this before, but I liked it. I felt comfortable.

“This is your home now. Please feel welcome to explore.” He wrapped his arm around me and whispered in my ear, causing an excited shiver to run up my spine.

“Are you sure?” I mumbled, not wanting to get my hopes up to high since it seemed too good to be true.

What had I done to deserve this?

“Of course, you are my mate, and for you, I will give you the world. Nobody will harm you again. Do you understand?” He lifted my chin with a finger so we were gazing into eyes of each other. I melted at his touch, and he stroked my neck right where my mark would be.

He turned his head to the side and gestured for someone to come to him.

It was a pretty-looking wolf; she grinned at him, showing off her dimples and bounded over.

I had no idea who she was but did not say anything.

She was stunning, with long blonde curly hair down to her backside, a lovely curvy figure and blue eyes that twinkled when she smiled. She wore a flowery dress down to her knees and black boots.

“Why, hello, stranger. Good to see you back so soon. And who is this?” she smiled across at me.

“This is Victoria. She is my mate. Victoria, this is Helen.” Alex said, glancing down at me proudly, and I suddenly felt uneasy at how I looked in my not-so-appealing clothes.

“Pleased to meet you.” I automatically bowed to show my respect.

She looked shocked, and I burnt red with embarrassment as she and Alex burst into laughter.

“Sorry.” I apologised but had no idea what for.

“Come with me. I will show you to your room.” Helen suggested, and I agreed, allowing her to take my hand. I turned back to see Alex staring at me with a massive smile.

Was this happening?
