Chereads / Mate. Me. Distance / Chapter 4 - Victor

Chapter 4 - Victor

I searched for her everywhere knowing she will be in danger if she's not on my side. I was about to helped her but to my surprise, they made her back from being a child. Though they can't get her power and ability, yet her memories bring her from her childhood days. She can't even remember me. She pushes me away not knowing what did I do to her. I felt so devastated knowing she can't remember anything not even a single detail of us. I felt that I lost her forever. I feel my heart turn into broken pieces knowing she thinks of me as the traitor of the Wol-pire community we both built together. Yet her heart was sealed on me from the very start. I come to think of to end up my life yet, I remember I need to bring her back to me. She is my soulmate, my everything, my ultimate happiness.

I can still remember how our love starts and how we both grow so in love to each other. She was just a simple vampire girl I've known. She even hides herself as a royal blood Queen. I only got to know she was the leader of their pack when I notice on our friendly compact event that she got a scar tattoo on her left knee – an indication of her vampire status. I never got the chance to see her before though I heard her name oftentimes how she manages her pack so well that they become one of the fiercest vampires living in the County. Until now when I remember our first meeting, it makes me realize we are not just meant to simply just friends. She came to me to give meaning to my life. Little by little, she made me fall in love to her. She doesn't treat me below what she can. But she treats me to do better things. Maybe this is really how love plays between two lovers who are meant to fall in love.

I am proud to say she was the love of my life over and over again. I want her to know that I love her so much. She had a strong, dark black hair, that makes her black eyes so attractive to see every time she speaks to me. Her body composure suits her tanned skin that makes her amazing whenever she passes by. It was not planned that I would meet her. If not because our wolf King introduced me to her as the Delta of the pack, I would never realize how she looks so beautiful right in front of my sight. Her innocent smile glows in the night that I find it hard to speak right after our King introduced me. All I did was to smile in reply and turned so speechless knowing that she is the Royal Queen. To me, she never gets old. She still remains 25 years old and forever she will be. The first time I saw her was all became the history of our love.

I got the chance to know her more when I seated beside her in the open atrium watching the exhibition of each brave fighters. She felt so comfortable and she got a guardian called Lady Amelia who can see the future ahead of it to happen. But I trusted less her linking guardian named Hansel. If I'm not mistaken, he had feelings to Chiara. But I try not to be get affected much of his intentions towards her though I feel jealous since they knew each other well. Gladly, she turned out to be friendly and good to accompany at. She makes me feel comfortable even if I felt awkward that I am surrounded with her guardians. I became so silent that I don't know how to start our conversation. All I did whenever she asked information about our pack was to nod and smile. Until she felt something was wrong towards me that she looked sternly and was surprised when she brought me away from the event.

"What did you do? Did you think that the wolf King will look for me?", it was my first utter statements towards her. I thought she would be gets mad at me knowing that I forgot to address her as the Queen. "Finally! You speak up! you really want to do this to you, huh?", walking nearer to me in spite I try to step back, I feel her power works upon me. "Well… my apology for doing this to you because you don't talk to me well from the very start and I really don't why. Don't worry I don't think of you that you can't talk.", she winks on me after saying that. I start to become feel okay as she makes me feel I'm not an inferior towards her position as the Vampire Queen. But before I could say my word, she interrupts me. "And oh! I like how brave you are for never addressing me as the Queen. It's been my first time to hear it from someone little less I know his life".

When she said this, I remember how rude I am for doing that to her. But oh gosh… how would I say anything when looking on her eyes I feel I'm dying?... but I know she's impossible to reach. That's why I go back to posture and said, "I am sorry. Forgive me for doing that your Qu---", she tried to stopped me by saying anything by putting her pointing finger to my lips. "Remember what I told you, you're free to call me without saying the Queen. Just simply call me by my name and we will be good friends starting from now. But if you don't, I won't never recognize your pleas nor even a single word. Got it?". I try to interrupt again but then I failed. "That's an order. Not a request". I end up nodding on her words. Because no matter what I do, she always wins over me (and no denial to that, my heart feels the same).

I thought it was just a simple attraction that I felt towards her. But deep inside, my wolf-soul told me that she was our soulmate. But I didn't believe on him. Maybe because it was only brought by the first impression when we saw her. But then my wolf-soul was unease inside my body. I feel he wants to get out from my body and try to control me. Luckily, I can still control him. "Stop it! how come she is our soulmate. See? She is a royalty. She is not meant to a wolf like me". "I don't think my aura got wrong. But she is really, Victor. I am not wrong for this. She is our mate!". I feel happy for knowing this. Though I doubt if she feels that same way too. Her strong aura makes me almost want to bow down on her. I try to adjust my composure when she noticed something in my mind links. "Anything goes wrong?", she said looking worried. "No, nothing. It's my wolf-soul. He said something to me". Knowing how she feel gets concern towards me, I feel grateful for that.

"Good to hear that. So… let's to get to know each other again. I'm Chiara Katerina Wuldumdore". She extends her hands to me for a shake. But before I could speak up, my hands already extended that I do know it was planned by my wolf-soul, Casim. "I am Victor Scattoe", offering my smile towards her. As we held our hands for a shake, we both said in unison, "Nice meeting you for the first time", we laughed on each other. I never thought she would dare to talk to me. Because I feel intimated and can't dare even to look at her straightly. I try to hide my feelings on her. Until my wolf-soul comes back again, "She really looks perfect for us, isn't she? Her eyes speak to me that she likes us too!". "Are you dreaming? She can't see our importance. And maybe like I said, you only feel it because you see her for the very first time", I try to deny the fact thinking that it's too early to come up with the conclusion.

"Hello??? Are you still with me?", she interrupted our mind link. "Oh… come on, Victor. Trust me. She had feelings for us. If you want my advices, I can give you. But for now, make her please with our presence. Don't ever try to disappointed her. She's our ma---". I ended up our conversation to focus my attention to Chiara. "Uhm… sorry I was talking to my wolf-soul, that's why.", trying to feel her everything is fine to me. "So, as of you Chiara, what makes you brings me here? I don't think this is not good. Knowing that I'm around with you", still I have some doubts if we do it for good since no one knows where we are. "Will you please ease your worries, okay?", she looks closely to my eyes that I swallowed my saliva down to my throat. "Or are you scared that I'm going to eat you?", saying this to me while she tries to step forward as she inhaled my scent. Instead of being afraid, my gosh I feel like I care less of it. All I know is being with her I forget what makes me get troubled. She laughed so loud that I was even more surprised. "Hahahaha geez… I won't eat you anyway. You're not my type of food. Although your blood is delicate to taste, yet it's inappropriate to eat you.

I heard my wolf-soul got confused to her. But I don't care. I'm grateful enough to be with her, just this time. "Whoa! I thought you really want to eat me", saying that to her while she remains closer to my chest. I can feel my sweat flowing down to my face and I hope she won't notice it either that way. She stepped backward realizing what she did to me and try to feel she didn't do anything like that and she put a few strands of her hair on her ears. "Okay, I brought you here for some reasons. I notice you feel uncomfortable and I want you to be comfortable to me. You didn't speak too. And the last thing is I feel you are silent type of guy", her words sinks in to me and I don't know how to answer it well. Her simple sweet action kills me again. I must be careful to tell my reasons too because if not, I might tell her directly that she is my mate though I am not sure for that. "I would answer your questions using a one description only. I am an introvert person", looking at her in her eyes while the moon is above us giving us both the shadows and lights.

I don't know what is on her mind but her facial expression makes my heart beats so fast. And I hear my wolf-soul keep on saying, "My dearest mate… I love you!". "You have a kind heart. I see that on you… the way you look at me is hard to explain. But I'm glad to know you. I hope I will get to know you more, Victor". She says my name! how sweet to hear it. Gosh! Do I hear it well? Oh yes! I hear it well. I'm not wrong for that. My wolf-soul feels jealous knowing that she appreciates me not him. "You're such a man, dude! I want her to see me what I look like. For sure she will like me more than you. Let me get out of here! I want to introduce myself to her, please!", I growl to him knowing that he will break our moments together. When she observed I got troubled to control my wolf-soul, she approached me by saying, "I guess your wolf wants me to see him. Will it be possible to see him too? I'll be glad for that". Since I cannot say no to my mate, I do her request. I distance myself feet away from her to take a good position whenever I transform to become a wolf. My wolf-soul feels so excited to show off himself to her. When I transformed right in front of her, I got surprised that I turned out to become a Bernese mountain dog. I went blush knowing that I failed her. I come to think that she might feel I fooled her. I bow down myself to surrender my sorry. But instead of laughing at me, she holds my jaw and rubs my forehead telling me that it's all fine. I concentrate myself to transform into a wolf but she hugs me that I went reddish again. "It's all okay now. Thanks for letting me show you this way. Now I know when you feel you're not in trouble, you transform this way". I wanted to say something but I forget to say anything when she hugs me so tight and feel so comfortable with me.

The first encounter we had brought us many moments to be together. I knew her to so sweet, and she becomes the sweetest from time to time. I feel there's nothing to be get jealous at whenever she's around with some other guys. Because I feel how important I am to her. Until she revealed her deepest secrets to me. It was a heavy rain before. And I brought her on this old Victorian house – the only inherited material thing that my parents gave to me when I was still a human being. I am not a pure wolf after all. The Alpha King once rescued me from the bandits that killed my parents for a long time ago. It was in the year 1864 when that massacred happened. The Alpha King together with his packs was in their hunting time outside the County. That's when they notice my parents screamed for help while they hide me inside the storage room only my parents know. That's when they realized I am still alive. Out of my safety, they brought me on their community pack and gradually I adapt their way of living.

They made me feel I have my family outside the life that I had before. They welcomed me and nurtured me especially the Alpha King who treated me as his son. Because of that, I decided to transform myself to become like them. Without hesitation coming from the Alpha King and with the approval of the Alpha's Queen, they arrange everything and do the wolf ritual to me. I thought

I find it hard to adjust myself for my new life. But I was wrong. It becomes easy for me and I feel so wholly complete. Until when I reach my wolf maturity, I look for my mate. I failed to see her and I feel I am going to die without having a mate in my life. But the Alpha King is not hopeless for me. He said it will to come to me one day. "When you fall in love, you will conquer everything. Even if it's against the odds. And you don't care if others will think you're crazy enough to be get obsess with your mate." I thought it was just only in dreams. But the Alpha King was really right. When you fall in love with someone else, you forget those people around you. All you see and think of is your mate forever.

I wanted to kiss her on her cheeks but it breaks my heart knowing that she will push me away because she had no memories about me, about us together. I long to see her every day. I long to look for her those days I thought I would never find her. She brings me hope. She is the reason why I continue to believe to impossibilities. I keep myself be like this knowing this is my only chance to guard her at all cost. I have to stay on foot on those villains searching for her to kill her heartlessly. But how am I supposed to do it when he sees me as her traitor? I look on her too closely that our nose meets each other. I smell her scent and inhaled it. I wish to talk to her but I don't have the chance to do it now. I feel my tears fall down again for sorrow this time. I don't want to fight her one day. I even don't want her have some little bruises whenever she encounters a fight. I didn't love her to hurt her. I am his man not her killer. I caress her cheeks with my hand feeling her tenderness towards me. She is everything and I will do anything to bring her back to me. I didn't sleep the whole night knowing that it's my only way to see her more. It made me fall in love all over again and takes me to our sweet unforgettable memories. When I noticed she starts to feel awake, I go back from being a dog yet I remain looking on her angelic face. This is my first time seeing her the most beautiful Queen who woke up in the morning beside me. Somehow, I wish our story will not like this. Of all the things we had, one of the things I miss on her is when she puts her head on my shoulders to hear my heartbeat and hear me breathing.
