My Personal Lycan King

Chapter-61

VICTORIA'S POV​ ​

Ahh.. it hurts. Why was I feeling like I was floating in space while the asteroids and comets were hitting my body? Where was I that everything was so painful and irritating?

"How long before we reach our destination?" I heard someone speak near me.

It was Neptune's voice.

'Neptune! Why am I not able to open my eyes or move my body?' I wanted to shout at him, but no matter what I did, even my mouth wasn't moving, let alone words coming out of it.

I am sure he has chanted a spell on me, because of which, I am feeling pain all over my body, and neither can I sleep, nor I will be able to rest in peace.

"Victoria, can you see it? Can you see me? I know you have been trying to find my source, but you have come up with nothing. It's not your fault. Someone is trying their best to distract you all from finding the solution. Someone who doesn’t want you guys to live happily ever after. Since I am your energy, let me give you the only hint that I can help you with.

'The crystal red, purple or blue, lies in the deepest of the waters that have a lot of dew. The water is powerful, and the more powerful are you. Pure or not, the soul that is cursed with the beauty of the rose won't dare to go too close. She is afraid, and so are you. The only way to find it is by overcoming your fear and anxiety of loss.'

That's the only thing I can tell you. Now you are gaining your consciousness back. I hope you find your way through it. Meanwhile, say my greetings to the kings and your grandfather when you meet him." I heard before I felt a sudden pressure on the inside of my brain, making me groan loudly as I opened my eyes.

"Victoria, you are finally awake. Thank God. I thought you will be waking up in Ashton's kingdom only, and then he will think that I deliberately made you unconscious so that you couldn't enjoy his hospitality." Neptune said before smiling as I noticed that we were alone in the car this time.

He must be talking on the phone then when I heard his voice earlier.

"Victoria, you do know what you did, right? Do you remember everything? What the hell happened to you?" He asked again after a long pause.

Of course, I remembered everything.

"I remember. I know I killed him. I remember every bit of it. And strangely, I don't feel any remorse for it anymore.

I saw his deeds through the flashback of his memories. He was not a good man. He has murdered many innocent, and I don't think what my powers did was horrible enough for him." I said, not even knowing where it was coming from.

"That's not what I am afraid about," Neptune said before stopping the car in front of the boundary of what felt like an open field.

"I am afraid that your powers are trying to consume you and take away your rationality. I am afraid that the strength of your power will turn you into another Madeline. I know you are a pure soul, but the hallucination that you had about me being Madeline was enough of an indication." Neptune said, and once again, I started to feel that sudden urge to burn something igniting inside of me.

"I am nothing like her! Do not compare me to her, ever!" I said, more like shouted, the fire coming out from my hands as the car started to burn, making Neptune's eyes go wide as he jumped out of the car hurriedly.

Well, shouldn't he push me out of the car, first? Where has chivalry gone these days? What a decent move on his part, seriously.

Getting out of the car, I looked at my hand, which was still burning and oozing flames, and was about to complain about how he didn't care about me and only thought about himself, and what do I need to do with these flames when I was suddenly hugged by him.

"What are you doing?! Get away from me! You will hurt yourself. You will get a burn because of these flames." I shouted, wanting to free myself without touching him. However, as soon as he placed his palm on my hand, the flame immediately crystallized, and a sound of water pouring on something hot reverberated in the environment.

"If you are fire, then I am your ice." He said before placing his cold lips on my cheeks, and the heat that I was feeling bubbling inside of me, immediately dissipated into nothing.

Under normal circumstances, I would've found this moment extremely romantic, but seeing our car blasting in front of me, was enough for me to discard all my thoughts.

"I… I am sorry for this outburst. I didn't know something like this will happen." I said, one of his hands holding my palms and the other on my cheek.

"It's okay, sweetheart. Honestly, I was well aware that something like this would happen. I just didn’t know the intensity of it. At least, now we know that you are becoming stronger than before. I am sorry for saying those mean words to you.” Daniel said before brushing his knuckles on my cheeks.

“I think we should teleport now. I thought I will be able to enjoy a good time with you if we travel like this. However, who knew that you will act naughtily and burn our car. You are such a trouble maker." He said before pinching my cheek, making me swat his hand away from my face.

"Now that you know what a trouble maker I am, I think you should choose wisely if you still want a part of me as your mate or not." I joked, however, what I didn't expect for him to pick me in his arms and scoot me infinitely close to his body.

Looking into his turquoise tranquil eyes that had nothing but love and adoration, I sighed loudly before looking anywhere else. Gazing into his eyes always fills me with guilt, and I don’t know why does it happen.

"No matter how much trouble you make, I will always choose you. I won't lose you again, Victoria. If it comes to worst, then I am ready to fight the gods for you. This time, I won't let my love remain unrequited." He said, kissing the corner of my lips, and before I could protest, I felt a chilled swoosh of air, making me tighten my arms around him.

The process lasted for a few seconds, and suddenly we were standing on the gates of a large mansion that looked exactly like those dark mansions from Disney world. It was both scary and cool at the same time.

I waited for Daniel to place me back on the ground, not expecting the thing that happened next. As soon as he placed me down, the guards that were standing in front of the gate of the mansion fell to their knees before bowing down to us.

"You are welcomed, our queen," They said in unison, and it was the most beautiful thing someone did for me.
