Chapter 42: Losing Her

Oliver's POV

When I heard Declan ask Victoria to have a date with him, I wanted to stop him right away, but I knew he would only make a show since he loves showing off, and we both know we can no longer fight each other inside campus since the guidance counselor already warned us. I kept my anger at bay, and my wolf self was screaming since he wanted me to win Victoria.

"You need to relax, and control yourself, buddy," I mumbled to myself since I know sooner Declan will reveal his true colors. He was only trying to be good in front of Victoria, but I know she only wanted to use her since he was not in love with her. 

Declan would not do anything to please the elders and his entire pack. He came here to Zenith academy with one purpose alone, and that is to satisfy his hunger with women. I know him, he is not only a bad boy, but he is also a playboy. And he only wanted to have a mate for the sake of having a mate, not out of love. And he is also one of the Alphas who doesn't believe in love.

And I will never allow him to touch Victoria, not only because she is my mate but because of the love I felt for her. I am here to protect Victoria Winner, and I know I am such a jerk for hurting her, and now it is too late to make her understand my purpose, and all I can do is to watch over her even if it hurts me so much to see her having a date with another man.

She is too innocent to fall into Declan's hands. And it would be alright with me if she fell in love with someone else aside from Declan, I can take the pain, but I couldn't take the fear of thinking she would be Declan's bride.

Victoria's words pierced my heart, and when she asked me to leave her alone, I wanted to bring her closer to me, but I knew she was thinking I was ruining her beautiful moments with Declan. And it made me so pissed that I left school and didn't attend my afternoon classes, and I went to the mountain to calm myself while I shifted on my wolf form. 

I stayed on the big rocks on the mountain top and looked at the metropolis below, thinking about Victoria. I am sure she is now happy that I didn't show up for the rest of our class. I decided to come down and drove back to the city when I realized I needed to drop by at my place to get some clothes.

I put the clean clothes on my bag, and I realized I needed to do something so I could talk with Victoria and convince her not to go on a date with Declan. And I hurried up, and this time I used my new sports car since I wanted to impress Victoria, and I know she loved luxury in life since she grew up with it, and she loved every moment of it.

But the moment I arrived at the Winner mansion, I realized Victoria was no longer there, and I regretted that I went to my house first; I was surprised to find Keisha leaning against her car, and I could see how her face lit up when she saw me.

"Wow! Nice ride, Oliver!" She said the moment I got out of my car.

"What are you doing here, Keisha?" I asked in disbelief.

"Why are you asking me that question, Oliver? You obviously know why I am here." She responded.

"I am not in the mood right now, Keisha," I responded as I slung my backpack on my shoulder.

"I know, and that is why I came to your rescue." She replied, and I furrowed my forehead.

"Please, you need to leave, Keisha," I begged her, but she only smiled at me as she put her hands on her hips.

"Oliver, you have no idea where they will have their date, and I have an informant, so I know where Victoria is right now. You told me once that Nicklaus Winner was asking for your help to look after his daughter." She declared.

"I know you only felt obligated to watch over her, and what you feel for Victoria is not love Oliver. You only wanted to impress her father." Keisha added, and I wished to tell her what I felt for Victoria, but I didn't want to offend her more.

"I would appreciate it if you would tell me where did Declan bring Victoria." I was pleading, and I could see how she shook her head.

"I am sorry, Oliver, I will only tell you where they are if you allow me to come with you. Besides, you needed me because you don't want to be frustrated when you see Victoria having a good time with Declan. You needed me to face them with your head high." She declared, and I realized I didn't have a choice but to bring her with me since I needed to know the exact location of Victoria and Declan.

"You better get inside now, Oliver, if you wanted to be there with them on time. Don't worry, and I will be waiting here for you." She added, and I released a heavy sigh as I jogged to my room.

I changed my clothes, and I couldn't stop myself from looking at my reflection in the mirror; when I was satisfied with my looks, I got out of my room, and I could feel the heaviness of my heart as I walked back towards my car.

"How about your car, Keisha?" I asked.

"I already left my key to Jason, and I called our family driver to take a taxi and get my car." She responded, and then Keisha got inside my car, and I felt guilty that I didn't open the car door for her since I didn't want her to come with me.

"How did you know where they are?" I asked Kiesha after she told me the address of the restaurant where Declan brought my girl.

"I have my ways, Oliver, and I want to remind you, I am your better match. And I wanted to tell you that what you feel for her is not real." Keisha responded, tried to control herself, and allowed her to continue talking since I needed to focus my attention on the road.

" You only wanted her because you felt challenged that no one had said no to you, and same with the boys at the Academy, they all wanted to have a date with Victoria since she never said yes to anyone, and that is because she feels like she owned the world, and now the students at Zenith Academy were shocked when they heard Victoria agreed to have a date with Declan," Keisha added.

"And it is obvious, and she likes Declan since he is the first person she goes out with on a proper date." Keisha continued, and I gripped the steering wheel hard since I felt so affected by her words, and I wouldn't say I like the idea that she likes Declan. And I wanted to tell Keisha she was wrong since I already had a date with Victoria at her house.

I wanted to tell Keisha, we had dined alone together at the Winner mansion, and we also studied at the library mansion's library, but I didn't want to hurt her feelings, and I felt anxious as I drove fast on the highway. And the moment we reached our destination, I couldn't stop myself from feeling so nervous. 

I was clenching my fists when we arrived at the restaurant, and I saw them talking happily, and I could tell Victoria was having fun. And I couldn't deny that she took my breath away, and I had to take a deep breath when my eyes lingered on her lips.

She looked so beautiful right now, and I could feel the pain in my heart as I realized I was losing Victoria to my mortal enemy. She looked so hot with her black mini-fitted dress. And her light make-up emphasized every contour of her face.

I am impressed that Keisha was able to reserve a table for us not so far from them. After ordering our food, I could no longer stop staring at them.

I didn't take away my gaze from them, not even when our food arrived, and I was watching them like a hawk. I felt so afraid when I realized there was a possibility that Victoria would forget her feelings for me and divert all her attention to Declan, and I had to stop her before she fell for him.

"Hey, Oliver, I think we should eat our dinner first before you spend your entire time gaping at Victoria." I heard Keisha say, and I could listen to the pain in her voice, but I had already told her at the locker room earlier today that I didn't need her help.

We eat our meal in silence while I am still stealing glances at them, and when my gaze met Victoria's compelling eyes, I could feel my entire world standstill and the racing of my heart heightened. And Victoria's beautiful smile died on her lips, and her face turned dark when she realized I was with Keisha. 

I didn't turn my head away from her, but instead, I focused my attention on her perfect lips. And I could tell she felt conscious and so furious. I could see Victoria excused herself from Declan, and it was my chance to come after her.

My gaze followed her, and when I realized she was on her way to the lady's room, I stood up and made my way to the restroom. I felt glad no one was lining up to use the comfort room, and I felt restless as I waited for Victoria to come out; and she looked so shocked when she saw me waiting for her.

"What are you doing here, Oliver?" She asked sternly, and I moved closer to her, and she stepped back until her back hit the wall, and I felt glad she could no longer escape from me. 

"I came for you, Victoria," I said more than a whisper.

"To ruin my date?" She asked, and I shook my head.

"No, but because I am dying to kiss you, Victoria," I mumbled, and before she could react, I claimed her soft lips, and I kissed Victoria like there is no tomorrow.
