Alpha Derick's POV
''Mate.'' My wolf howled in pains while a sharp pain pierced through my heart.
''Goddess.'' I exclaimed in pains and held unto my chest.
The pains were severe, it felt like multiple of knives were piercing through my heart.
''Mate.'' He howled again, and this time he pushed me forward, and I had to control my body.
''What's going on.'' I exclaimed, while my heart continued burning in pains.
''Mate.'' He whimpered in pains and this time I knew something was wrong.
Quickly I turned around and hastily walked towards the direction of the cell while my wolf howled in pains and pushed me forward.
I was almost getting to the cell, when I perceived her alluring and fascinating scent, which meant she was nearby.
I hastened my footsteps as I felt my heart beating in fear because deep down I knew something was wrong.
I was taking the path that leads to the cell when I saw Anthony rushing towards my direction with a lifeless female figure in his arms.
I stood still and took a better look at the figure and realized it was Victoria.
For a second I couldn't breathe, neither could I move from the spot I stood.
''Mate.'' My mate cried out in agony as Anthony got to me.
''Alpha, we have to do something, she is almost dying.''
''What happened.'' I demanded in panic.
''She stabbed herself with a knife.'' Anthony responded.
''Shit.'' I grumbled those words and did not know when I hurriedly grabbed her from Anthony's arms and rushed towards the direction of my office.
I could feel my heart racing in fear and my wolf howling in pains for his mate, and I couldn't look her in the face.
''Clinton.'' I called out through mind link, but got no response from him.
''Shit.'' I yelled and rushed into my office
''Clear the table.'' Quickly, Anthony cleared the files and everything on my desk before I placed her on my desk.
''Clinton.'' I yelled through mind link
''Alpha.'' He finally responded
''Where the fuck are you, Victoria is injured and bleeding, come quickly.'' I begged in anger.
''I'm on my way.'' He responded quickly.
''Shit.'' I grumbled and stared at my blood soaked hands.
I stared at her and noticed her eyes were slightly opened
''Victoria.'' I called out in fear.
But she replied me with a soft, bitter chuckle.
''I've won, I did not give you the pleasure of seeing me begging for death, I won't give you that.'' She whispered those words and smiled bitterly to herself.
''I hate you, from the bottom of my heart I hate you alpha Derick, and my blood will forever be in your hands.'' She murmured in pains and slowly began closing her eyes, but I shook her vigorously.
''Hey.'' I called out in fear as my heart torn into pieces, while my Wolf howled in pains.
''Victoria.'' I called out to her, but she wasn't responding.
''What should I do.'' I murmured in pains and fear as the thought of she dying brought in an extreme pain in my heart.
''Clinton.'' I yelled through mind link and just then the door of my office came wide opened.
Clinton ran in and stood beside her
''What did you do to her.'' He asked in anger as the color of his eyes changed while his wolf howled angrily to me.
''There is no time to waste.'' Anthony spoke up.
Quickly, Clinton took out the knife in her stomach and threw it on the floor, while her blood began rushing profusely.
He drew in a deep breath, placed his right hand in her hair and tenderly caressed her hair while his other hand was on her injured stomach.
Slowly he closed his eyes and kept murmuring words to himself which I couldn't hear.
I fixed my gaze on her injured stomach, waiting for the injury to vanished like it was supposed to, but rather nothing was happening.
I moved my gaze back to Clinton and noticed there was a frown on his face while his eyes were still shut.
''What's happening.'' I asked in fear as the thought of she dying flashed in my head.
Clinton ignored my question, but rather he continued mumbling and murmuring words I couldn't hear or understand.
With my heart beating in fear I stared at her injured stomach and noticed nothing was happening, rather she kept bleeding more.
''She is resisting my healing, how on earth can she do that.'' Clinton grumbled and opened his eyes.
''Vicky, I know you can hear me.'' He begged while he gently stroked her hair with his fingers.
''I assure you, nothing will happen to you, no one will kill you, anyone who dares to touch you will have to kill me first.'' He muttered out those words while meeting eyes with me.
''Please stop resisting my healing, it will kill me to know that you died in my arms when I can actually heal you.'' He begged, while I noticed his eyes were filled with tears.
Seeing all this, My wolf howled in pains and shut himself away from me.
Slowly, Clinton closed his eyes and kept murmuring Words to himself and this time the Injury vanished within few seconds, and Only the mark was left.
''Thank Goddess.'' Anthony exclaimed in relief.
Clinton opened his eyes and a small smile creeped his face, but it was later replaced by a frown.
''She will be out for some hours, I think you should send her back to her room, or I'll take her with me.'' Clinton suggested, but I quickly spoke up
''She will rest in her room.'' I spoke firmly, as the thought of she staying in Clinton's home made me jealous and insecure.
''Very well then.'' Clinton said those words and lifted her up from my desk
''Can you show me the way to the servant's quarters.'' He directed those words to Anthony, who waited for my approval.
I nodded my head as an approval to Anthony before he led Clinton out of my office.
I stared at her blood on the table and groaned in pains as the smell of her blood passed through my nose.
''What's going on, Eric.'' I called out to my wolf, but he totally ignored me.
Groaning angrily, I Moved away from the desk and sat on my couch while I tried to process everything.
This was becoming confusing and complicating for me. I've never felt this attached to Emma for the past three years since I've been with her.
I could still feel my heart clenching in pains as her words kept ringing in my head.
''Please talk to me.'' I begged my wolf, but he was totally silence.
''Alpha Derick.'' Dad yelled my name as he walked into the office.
''Can you tell me what's going on.'' He demanded angrily as he stared at my blood stained desk.
Groaning softly, I stood up from the couch and tried to walk out on dad, but he violently held my wrist.
''I'm not done talking.'' He declared firmly
''Let go of me.'' I declared annoyingly, but dad tightens his grip on me
''You maybe be a powerful and strong alpha, but I'm still your father, and you will stay here and listen to me.'' He yelled angrily, while I noticed the color of his eyes were changing.
Angrily I groaned at him, but I couldn't do a thing to him. We glared at each other for a while before dad let go of my wrist.
''Tell me what is going on.'' He asked angrily
''Nothing for you to worry about.''
''Don't you dare lie to me Derick, what is really going on.'' He yelled angrily, which angered me the more
''Fine, since you want to know then I'll tell you, my wolf sees Victoria as his mate and not Emma.'' I yelled out in anger and frustration.
''What?'' Dad asked with a furrowed eyebrow.
''Yes Father, at first, I thought she might be using charms and spell on me, but right now, I don't know what to think anymore.'' I groaned tiredly, moved away from dad and stood by the window.
Everything was becoming confusing and frustrating for me.
I noticed father did not say a word, but rather he went for the door and left, like I said nothing to him.
''Alpha, she is still unconscious, but Clinton assured that she will be fine.'' Anthony announced those words to me as he walked in.
I turned around and thought for a while before leaving my office, while Anthony Followed from behind.
I walked towards the servant's quarters and noticed how the servants were trembling with fear while they lowered their head to the ground.
Without asking for direction, I took a deep breath and perceived her fascinating scent. with hasty footsteps, I followed the direction of her scents until I got to a room made of wooden door.
Quickly, my beta rushed and opened the door while I stepped into the room.
The moment I entered the room, I noticed her mother was standing beside her.
''Greetings Alpha.'' She greeted with her head lowered to the floor.
''You may leave.'' Anthony directed those words to her, while she slightly bow her head in respect before leaving.
I walked away from the door and took few steps towards her.
I stood beside her and, for the first time, I could take a better look at her.
Her eyes were closed, but I could see she has curly and long lashes which I found spectacular. Her pointed nose fit her v shaped face, perfectly, and her lips were swollen, maybe from the cry she had cried throughout the night.
''Anthony.'' I called out,with my gaze still on her
''Yes alpha.''
''Set a meeting with the seer.''
