I am so pissed because I realized our enemies are now in Zenith, and no matter what I do to protect Victoria, they will try to find a way to mess with us. How could he cross the highway when he knew I was driving so fast, and I could still feel he was nearby. When I got up from the ground, I felt glad Victoria fainted because if she happened to be conscious, it would be a disaster.
I am sure she would wonder why her injuries suddenly disappeared, and it is not a good idea for her to witness something like that because she will immediately think she is not human. I find it hard to understand why she can heal her wounds even if she knew nothing about healing herself. And I could tell Victoria's healing ability is quite impressive.
I moved my big bike at the side of the road, and I felt glad no vehicle passed us by; I heaved my girlfriend's unmoving body from the hard ground and carried her behind the bush. I don't want any human to find us, for they might help us and ask us what happened. I could feel her healing herself, and I wondered what was happening with Victoria. And right now, I could tell she was sleeping like a baby, and I know all the pain she felt after the accident was gone, and her broken bones are now healed.
I am glad that werewolves nowadays can change into their wolf form even if it is not a full moon, but it will take a lot of training. Still, powerful werewolves, especially the Alphas and Betas, don't need to train because they can shift without a sweat even if until now we can still feel the pain every time we transform, breaking all your bones is not that easy. Still, since we are used to it, it feels natural for us. But for Victoria, it would be so painful for her because it would be her first time.
I slowly put Victoria's frame on the grass, ensuring she was safe before I searched the area, but I could no longer smell the wolf, and I realized he had left already. I got my backpack and pulled out some clothes of the same brand and color as I was wearing. I changed my clothes since I knew I would reek with blood, and I didn't want her to smell the blood so she would not remember anything, but I knew it would be impossible, she will still remember the accident, and I don't have a choice again, but making it look like it was a bad dream.
I want Victoria to have a peaceful life and enjoy her remaining days as a human since that is what Zafirah wanted for her daughter until her eighteenth birthday. Still, it seems like our enemies will never stop until they Can have Victoria, and I suddenly felt guilty. The pain she experienced was too much to handle, but the moment she gained consciousness, I am sure her extraordinary power replenished her energy, and she would no longer feel the pain.
I felt glad she didn't have cuts or bruises, I let her settle at my back while I used my long sleeve shirt to tie her body on my frame, and I curled her arms on my body. And I was thinking maybe she was still asleep because she drained her energy healing herself even without knowing about it, and all I have right now are only theories and opinions.
I felt so glad we arrived at the school parking lot, and we hadn't encountered any more wolves. I know Victoria will think she is getting insane because I am sure she didn't forget even a single detail of the accident, especially how hard she screams. She was silent most of the time the entire day, and she didn't even raise her hand during the discussion with our teacher.
I knew what was bothering her, and I was delighted when she received text messages from Lana; I could see the excitement on her face, and for the first time today, after the accident on the road, she smiled at me.
"Hey, is everything alright?" I asked Victoria the moment she got out of Lana's house, and I could tell something was wrong again because I could see the worries on her face.
"I am fine, Oliver; thank you so much for picking me up," She said after I helped her buckle her seatbelt.
"Victoria, please talk to me; I know you are worried about something," I responded, and she released a heavy sigh as I drove away from Lana's place.
"Something is wrong with Lana, Oliver. And I am so troubled about her." She stated.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"She told me, the one who attacked Tim is not an ordinary animal, but she saw him in human form, and he shifted in front of her before he lunged at her, and Tim was there, and he fought the wolf." She said, and my eyes widened. It was against our werewolf code to shift in front of a human, and we are not allowed to let any human know about our existence to avoid war between humans and werewolves.
Humans thought we only existed in books since it has been more than centuries since the last war, and some thought we became extinct.
"A werewolf?" I asked in more than a whisper.
"Yeah, please don't tell anyone about it, or they will think my best friend is crazy, and I pity Lana, and I hope she will get well soon, but she said she will report to class tomorrow. And I hope she will not tell anyone, or else she will end up as a laughingstock in our school." She responded.
"What if werewolves really exist, Victoria?" I asked since I wanted to hear her opinion about us, and she was laughing.
"Don't tell me you believe her, Oliver, that is ridiculous, and if it is true, then I wanted them to leave Zenith, and they should go to the mountains and be with their fellow beasts; they should not associate themselves with humans because they are monsters." She replied.
"And if ever what Lana had said was true, and the authority would confirm that one of their kind killed Tim, then I don't like werewolves. I hate them too, and it only means they are murderers, and I could say the Academy is no longer safe." She declared, and my throat was dry.
"But they aren't real, Oliver; we both know about that." She continued, and we both fell silent for the rest of the ride.
I couldn't stop thinking about my conversation with Victoria. Instead of going to her room, I lay on my bed alone since I felt so worried about her coming birthday, and I was so afraid how she would accept the fact that she is one of us, and she is a pure-blooded werewolf. And I didn't realize I had fallen asleep, and when I woke up, I could feel her presence right away, and when I opened my eyes, Victoria was already standing near my bed.
"I am sorry that I came inside uninvited, I had been calling your cellphone, and I was knocking on your door, but you didn't answer, and I apologize I disturbed you from your sleep." She muttered, and I smiled at her as I motioned her to sit on my bed.
"It is okay; I am sorry, Victoria, I planned to go to your room, but I doze off," I responded, and her heavenly scent made me close my eyes as I inhaled her natural fragrance.
"Can I sleep here with you?" She asked, and my grin widened.
"Of course, it would be lovely," I said as I moved to give her enough space, and she could lay beside me; I immediately pulled her closer to me, and I was kissing her forehead while she was giggling.
"Do you think they will attend my birthday this coming Sunday?" She asked, and I nodded my head.
"Of course, I heard them talking about it, and they are so excited to see your gown, especially the boys, and they make me so jealous," I said, and her grin widened.
"You don't need to get jealous, and I can't wait to dance with you until the party ends." She said excitedly, and I was thrilled about it too, and her face suddenly fell.
"And why do you suddenly look sad?" I asked her.
"Tim's burial would be on Saturday," She said.
"It is okay, Victoria, you can't change the date of your birthday, and I know Tim will understand, and we will attend his funeral service on Saturday, and we will say our goodbye to him," I responded as I caressed her back.
"I still couldn't believe it that he is no longer with us, and I felt so glad that Lana was alive, and she told me she would attend my birthday party." She said, and I could see how her face lit up with excitement.
"That is good to hear." I beamed at her.
"Do you know what makes me more excited?" My girlfriend asked, and I shook my head.
"What?" I asked, and I could see how her face blushed.
"I wanted to skip even for one hour during the party and be alone with you so that you can give me your gift. Don't you think it would be fun?" She asked, and I could see the mischievous grin on her face, and it felt like I was eighteen years old all over again.
And I could no longer stop myself from claiming her mouth as I realized what she wanted to tell me.. And it is about giving herself to me, and I am also thrilled to offer myself to Victoria; she didn't realize it was her who would be giving me a very special gift, and I couldn't wait to share that moment with Victoria.
