I could kiss Victoria's perfect lips forever, and I don't want to end our kiss. But she stopped kissing me back when she realized I had her in my arms, and we had been kissing for a while. She pushed my chest hard, and the next thing I knew, she ran towards her room and closed the door with a loud bang while I was left dumbfounded, and I was still touching my lips, and I didn't expect I would be able to kiss her again.
I could feel the heat in my entire body as I got inside my bedroom, still thinking about the hot kisses we shared, and I was smiling as I undressed my clothes and l walked towards my bathroom. I let the cold water take away the heat that enveloped my entire body.
I can feel the burning desire and the urge to claim Victoria as my mate, and my wolf self is screaming to have her, and I could tell Victoria was making me so nuts that I didn't know what to do anymore.
I know she is mine, and the way she kissed me back with total abandon was telling me that she wanted me to, but because of the things I have done to her, she was trying her best to control her emotions because she doesn't want to be humiliated once again. I promised I would never hurt her feelings, and starting today, I would be Victoria's slave.
I will be good to her, and I will show Victoria that I am not the man she thinks I am. I will be her protector, and most of all, I will have her as my girlfriend, and I will show her the real Oliver Prize. She still hates me, but I will make sure she will learn that I can be the most gentle werewolf in the entire community, and I couldn't wait for her birthday to come.
I got dressed feeling so happy, and I realized I hurt the elders' feelings when I insisted to them love is not real; it was only a state of mind, but on the first day that I laid my eyes on Victoria's lovely face; I realized what a fool I had been for having that kind of principle when I felt the intense emotion from deep inside my core. It was new, yet I knew right then, and there it was, love, and it made me realize it does exist.
I was standing in front of the wide-opened window of my room when I heard the ringing of my phone, and I walked towards my bed and picked up my phone from the side table, and my forehead furrowed when I saw Nicklaus name on my screen, and I wondered what Victoria's father wants from me this time.
"Hello, Niklaus!" I said the moment I answered the phone.
"Good evening, Oliver!" He responded.
"What can I do for you, Mr. Winner?" I asked.
"We will be coming home, Oliver; I heard you and my daughter are not getting along, and it was the opposite." He said, and I knew his men must report to him the status of my relationship with Victoria.
"How could you not tame your mate, son? I know my daughter is a fine young lady, and I am sure she likes you." He added.
"I know you, Oliver; you don't want anyone to dictate your life. And I get that, but your father and I promised each other to become in-laws in the future, and I hope you will fulfill that for us. It would be best if you let go of your pride, Oliver. I was once like you, and resisting your mate would be torture." He said.
I took a deep sigh as I realized Niklaus knew what was going on with my life. And I wanted to tell him I already conceded, and I will do everything I can to have his daughter.
"Don't worry, Nick, I am on it, and I promise I will win your daughter's heart," I responded.
"That would be great, son." He replied, and I could hear the happiness in his voice.
"I needed to intervene because her birthday is coming up, and she needs to deal with it, and I was expecting you to be there for Victoria to guide her, it would be your responsibility since you are Victoria's mate, and I know you will make her transition easy for her." He sounded so confident.
"I will do my best, Nick, but I wanted to remind you that as Victoria's father, you need to be here on her eighteenth birthday. I heard you always travel abroad that you have forgotten special occasions, and it made her feel unhappy. Your daughter is lonely, and she wished to see her parents more often." I declared.
"Thank you, Oliver. I could feel your concern for my only child, and I felt overwhelmed with happiness that you would be there to take good care of her." He responded.
"Don't worry, son, and we will be there for Victoria. We need to have a vacation together, and I am sure she will get closer with you when we go to the island." He said, and I know he was referring to his vacation home located on one of the beautiful islands not so far from Zenith city. I had come to his beautiful vacation house once when I attended one of the meetings of the Alphas all over the country.
Victoria's father is the wealthiest among the Alphas' in the werewolf community. And I know my mate is filthy rich since she is his only child.
"Be sure to come home, Nick, don't give your daughter false hope," I said, and he laughed.
"Of course, Oliver. We will be there, and please do your best to make her fall for you, son. You should be her boyfriend before she turns eighteen, and I want you to make sure no other Alpha from another pack comes near her." He said with authority.
"Yes, I will, and don't worry, Nick, I will protect your daughter with my life," I responded.
"Good, I know a time will come when war between werewolves will arise, and I want Victoria to be with you when that time comes. I know my daughter has abilities, and she doesn't know all about it yet, and I am confident you will help her accept who she is, Oliver." Nicklaus declared.
"I know the moment Victoria found out what she is, it would be harder for her to accept reality, and that is why I need your help. You are the only one I trust, Oliver, and I hope you will not disappoint me, son. I know your father was so proud of what you are right now, and I feel the same way, and I couldn't wait to have you as my son-in-law." He added.
"I need to go now, Oliver. Goodbye." He said before I could answer him, and I ended the call after saying goodbye to Nicklaus.
I got out of my room and proceeded to the dining hall. And for the first time, I felt so excited to come down to the dining room to eat dinner with my future bride. I will never let any man have Victoria; she was the only girl for me, and I couldn't think of anyone who made me feel this way. She awakened a different side of me, and that is knowing how to love.
And I felt so anxious as I waited for Victoria to arrive since I wanted to know her reaction to the searing kiss we shared. And she took my breath away when she got inside the dining hall, and I wanted to come near her, but I didn't want to ruin the evening since I could see the excitement on her face
I loved how her face blushed when she found out I was already waiting for her in the dining room. I got up from my chair without taking my gaze away from her, and the moment I came closer to Victoria, her sweet smell wanted me to hug her.
But I didn't want to ruin our moment together, and I wanted to have a chance with her, and I could feel the electricity that traveled on my entire body the moment my arm brushed hers, and I know she could also feel the sparks.
When I got back on my chair, I couldn't stop myself from staring at her face, and my entire body was ignited with fire when she was looking back at me with the same intensity I was giving her. I wanted to go back to her side and take her into my arms, but I didn't want to scare her away.
We looked at each other for a long time until I heard someone clear his throat. And Victoria turned her head at the end of the table, and I realized it was Art.
I could see the happiness on Victoria's face when Art told her that her parents would be coming home this coming weekend, and I could see her disappointment when she informed Art she doesn't want to hope because of how many times her parents said they would be coming home. Still, they will cancel at the last minute.
We ate our dinner in silence, and we kept on stealing glances at each other; when she was done eating, I followed behind her as she made her way to her room.
"Victoria," I called her name, and she stopped in her tracks and turned her head to look at me, and I could tell she felt nervous as she stared at me.
"Can I come to your room later? I think our teacher was right; we need to study together.." I said, and it took her a while before she nodded her head, and I could feel my heart skip a beat when I saw her smile before she got inside her room, and I opened my bedroom feeling so happy and hopeful that things would turn out the way I want it to be.
