My Personal Lycan King

Chapter-68

VICTORIA’S POV ​​

“What did you call me?” I asked, my eyes widening as I looked at him with disbelief.

“I called you a filthy hybrid. A filthy hybrid that I know is going to be the death of me. And I would rather you stay away from me because being touched by a hybrid that I need to kill is the last thing I want right now. Got a problem with that?” My grandpa said, and I looked at him for a few seconds before smiling evilly at him.

“A filthy hybrid? Is this what I am to you? Just a filthy hybrid? Am I not your granddaughter? The granddaughter that you should love and cherish? Fine! Yes! Yes, I am a filthy hybrid, and this filthy hybrid has decided to hug her grandpa. Got a problem with that? If yes, then you can leave from here. Leave me alone so that I can drown in the sorrow of the pain and-” I started, wanting to annoy him with my emotional drama, and it indeed worked.

Squinting his brows, he looked around the room as if in a great dilemma, and it wasn’t long before he sighed and looked at me helplessly. I know he couldn’t resist my puppy face no matter how much he tries. He has been like this since we met.

Opening his arms in invitation, he looked at me encouragingly.

“Fine, come here. Hug this old man,” He said, and I smiled at him before rushing towards him and hugging him tightly.

Feeling secure in his arms as I felt his arms tightening around me, I couldn’t help but look at him before smiling more.

“I don’t want to say this, but I kind of missed this old man,” I said, and he chuckled at my words, his chuckle reverberating through my body.

“Well, I don’t want to say this either, but I kind of missed my naughty little granddaughter too. The one who always has a way to make me bow down to her. You do know you would’ve been long dead if you weren’t my granddaughter, right?” He asked before ruffling my hair adoringly.

“I would’ve still survived. No one can resist my charm. Not even an old man who is the king of the witches,” I said, and he smacked the back of my head lightly before forcing my face back into his chest.

The old man was too proud to say that he was fearing what is going to happen next. He was too proud to say I love you to me, and even though he never says anything like that, I know he loves me more than he loves himself and would readily die in my arms when the fight will take place, which was something, I would never let happen.

Meanwhile, downstairs in the living hall of Ashton’s mansion, the three kings were looking at each other, an awkward tension between them.

“Fine, I am sorry, okay? I was scared for her. I don’t know what came over me, but it felt like she was in some great trouble, and I couldn’t help but call Azrael the first thing I could reach her and ask her to teleport me where Victoria was. You also didn’t mention to me that she killed a rogue so brutally, and if Azrael hadn’t shown me what had happened in the forest, I would’ve never known about it,” Alexander said, and Daniel looked at him for a few seconds before turning away.

It was indeed his fault this time. He had promised Alexander that he would keep him informed about any major event with Victoria, but he didn’t do his duty properly.

“Everyone has been talking about this major forest event, but nobody is going to tell me what’s going on, right? Victoria also mentioned something regarding her being unconscious in the car ride yesterday, and Daniel had told me that we will discuss the matter later, but he didn’t tell me.” Ashton said.

Turning around, Daniel looked at them before he narrated what exactly happened in the forest and what he saw there. He also narrated how Victoria blasted his car because she was annoyed.

“That’s a whole lot of things, no?” Ashton was the one to speak, and all of them chuckled at his words.

“I am sorry I blamed you for bringing Azrael here. It’s just that I don’t trust anyone around us anymore. Anyone could be a pawn of Christopher and telling him about our plans would be the last thing I will want. The thing is, no matter how much we try to find a second clue that will not include risking Victoria’s life, we come with nothing. It feels like someone is deliberately trying to close all the doors for us.” Daniel said, making the other two nod their head.

“Daniel, when Victoria had felt the presence of Madeline for the first time after she had awakened from her seven days long coma, you had said something about having a solution for all of this. What was that?” Alexander asked, and Daniel looked at him troubled, not knowing whether he should be telling them about his plan or not.

“Yes, I am curious about the plan as well. You keep on saying about this only solution to the problem you have found and that it will risk Victoria’s life, but you never say anything about what the plan is. Don’t tell me you don’t trust us either,” Ashton said, and Daniel shook his head in denial.

“It’s not like that Ashton. Madeline was a powerful hybrid. If you think that Victoria is powerful, then multiply her powers with ten. If her soul is around Victoria, there are great possibilities that she is roaming around us too. She is keeping her eye on everyone. She is waiting for us to reveal our plan so that she can find a way to nullify our plans. That’s why I am wary of disclosing the plan, even to you guys. It’s not about trust.” Daniel said, and Ashton started looking around himself with a panicked gaze.

“Look, I might be a vampire and a king at that, but the thing that I fear in this world is a ghost. Though it is not my greatest fear, my greatest fear is losing Victoria, I am still wary of ghosts, okay? And you are saying that an evil ghost is roaming around my mansion?” Ashton said to make the environment light and less tense and it indeed worked as all of them shook their heads after he said all of it.

“I don’t know, okay? I am still trying to find more. The clue Victoria has given us about the water thing is also a kind of hope because she has great faith in it. It’s not like we have any other option, thus, I have started my investigation on the matter already. I have asked my trusted team to go there with some evil witches and good witches to see if a water body like that exists in the world.” Daniel said.

“Hey, why didn’t you-” Ashton started but stopped when Daniel raised his hand in the air.

“What?” Alexander asked, looking at him with squinted brows.

“I sense a strong witch around us. The Magna is too strong. Like a twelfth tier witch or maybe a-”

“King?” Ashton completed for him before all of them rushed towards Victoria’s room.

Opening the door, they looked at the sight in front of them and couldn’t help but widen their eyes.

This wasn’t something they expected to see.
