Chapter 108 - Book-2 -23 It's Time You Come Back
'Do you think what you are doing or thinking of doing will bring my Victoria back?' Alexander suddenly spoke in Damien's conscience, making him stop abruptly.
"If not this, then what? She doesn't remember you or what you did for her, neither the time you guys had spent together. Nothing. What am I supposed to do?
Do you think I am happy doing all this? Guess what, I don't have any choice in the matter either." Damien retorted, an angry look on his face.
'If it was Carla who had lost her memories and didn't remember you, would you've done the same thing with her? You say you don't care whether Jasmine dies or not, all you care about Carla. But don't forget, if not for Jasmine, then Victoria and Carla would've died a long time ago. What you would've done at that time? Wait for another 600 years for your unrequited love?' Alexander said again, his sensible words making Damien annoyed and frustrated.
"What do you know? All you've been doing from these past two years is sit back in the conscience and just watch everything. Do you have any idea how hard it has been on me? How can you blame me for being selfish when it's everyone's fault?" Damien hollered, crashing the vase on the nightstand.
'Hard on you? That girl had almost suffered an unbearable pain because she had sacrificed herself for us, and it was you who has suffered? Were you the one whose body practically decayed itself and came back to life only after buck loads of spells were performed on you? When did you become so selfish, Damien? Weren't you the great king who was always righteous, who thought about others more than himself? Then what happened now?' Alexander asked, making Damien sit on the bed with his head hung low.
'If it's all because of Carla, then have you forgotten that you ceased to exist 600 years back, and all that you are right now is a mere wolf power? My wolf. Similarly, Carla and Jasmine, that you think are Victoria's different personalities are nothing but her powers. You are thinking of killing Jasmine, can you do it without hurting Victoria, without hurting Carla?' Alexander asked, and for the first time in 600 years, Damien felt tongue-tied.
Alexander was indeed right, he ceased to be alive as a person 600 years ago, and now he was nothing but a mere wolf power. If it wouldn't have been for Alexander, who wasn't willing to live without Victoria, and he didn't want to wait to find out the whole truth, he wouldn't have been in control of this body. This body, that belonged to Alexander.
"So what do you suggest I really do? How can I call back Victoria and make her remember that we are her love that we are not just her crush, that she isn't a witch, that she is the queen of this kingdom? How do I make her realize that she is a luna, that she is our luna?" Damien asked with his head bowed in defeat.
'You have done enough. You took care of my body and my kingdom for two years, and I think what you do was great. I'll ignore the fact when you've threatened my family and pack with your power. But it's high time you come back. Let me take over my body again, and I'll sort out things my way. The only way to make her realize who is she is, is by the way of making her fall in love with me again.' Alexander said.
"But what if-" Damien started but was cut off by Alexander's next words.
'Either you come back willing, or I'll have to force my way back. The choice is yours. But if I force my way back, I'll make sure to not let you take over me when Carla is around.' Alexander threatened, making him sigh in defeat again.
Though Alexander was the human counterpart of Damien, being the current alpha king, he was still more powerful than Damien because that's what he was, the only power of his.
"Whatever you say, Alex," Damien said before closing this eyes as he felt himself being sucked away back into Alexander's subconscious.
Coming back into control, Alexander looked at his hands and legs before smiling at the photo frame that was placed on the nightstand.
"I am back, Ria. And I'll make sure that you come back to me too." Alexander whispered before evening cuffs and gelling his hair.
Looking at his reflection one last time, satisfied that Damien took good care of his body, he nodded at himself.
'If you've forgotten, it's my body too. Of course, I would take good care of it.' Damien said from his conscience, feeling awkward since he was back there after two long years, making Alexander roll his eyes at him.
"Don't pout like a girl. Don't worry, I'll take you out on a walk every night. It's been two years since you changed back into the wolf. I want to see if you can still run as fast as you used to, or you've grown fat and rusty." Alexander commented, making him scowl before he growled in displeasure for being insulted like this.
"Ah... it's been so long since I last heard your growling. It feels like homecoming now." Alexander muttered.
"But right now, it's time to woo my girl and make her smitten with my love and desire," Alexander said, making Damien chuckle, happy that alexander was finally back in action.
