"Alpha, as you've ordered, all the guests are made to stay in the palm hotel. The rooms are allocated according to how Ms Melissa referred. Most of the alphas are already here. Would you like to meet them now or during lunchtime?" Chris asked, walking behind Damien Hunter with a notepad in his hand.
"I would like to freshen up before I decide something," Damien said, entering his car.
"Turn on the Ac to its maximum. It's little stuffy today." Damien ordered as soon as Chris entered the car.
Since all of the guests were resting in the Palm hotel, as a king, he had arranged his temporary residence in the penthouse of the same hotel.
"About the problems with rogues Alpha, I think we should talk with your brother regarding the matter. He understands them best and those rogues also talk to him more calmly than any other Royal." Sean said, driving the car to the palm hotel.
"Hmmm… I'll talk to him about it. Since the celebration is big enough, he'll be coming back to the country today or tomorrow." Damien said while looking out of the window.
Today he was indeed not feeling well. His heart was feeling a bit stuffy and he was having this weird intuition emotion in his heart, like something big was going to happen today.
Looking casually at the pedestrians, his eyes caught something, or someone to be precise.
"Stop the car! Stop the car! Quick! " He ordered, making Sean stop the car with a screech, avoiding an accident by a mere second.
Without waiting for anyone, he rushed out of the car to the other side of the road with lightning speed.
Turning around the girl that he thought was Victoria, his bright eyes immediately dimmed when he noticed she was someone else.
"Alpha king?" The girl asked, confused and horrified.
"Nothing. You can go ahead." He said before turning away and walking back to his car. Chris and Sean, who knew what caused him to react like this, could only sigh at him.
Walking towards his car, he couldn't help but think about a past a little.
Almost a year back, when those spears had plunged into his chest, he thought he would die that day. But his wolf hunter, who had shunned him out because of the loss of Victoria had taken over the body, almost risking his life to save Alexander.
With his wolf healing powers, he had used all his energy that day and was on the verge of dying if not for Azrael, who had made him drink the healing potion for two weeks straight.
No one had thought that the woman who had threatened him to make him pay for the loss of her God granddaughter would come to save his life at such a crucial moment.
When Alexander woke up and asked her why didn't she let him die and put an end to this miserable pain that he was feeling, her answer was,
"I want you to suffer alone for the rest of your eternity."
Since then, Damien Hunter had taken over this body. He was a wolf that was always in control of Alexander body, and thus, everyone thought that Alexander went through a dramatic change after Victoria.
Nobody knows that Alexander was not in control of his body anymore.
For everyone, he was the cruel alpha with a stone-cold heart. The alpha would treat everyone who would try to get close to him with harshness. The same alpha who loathed any girl who would try her ways with him to seduce him.
"Let's go," Damien said after some time of sitting inside the car.
Both Chris and Sean, who was afraid to anger him was mum for the last 15 minutes and sighed in relief only when he ordered 'Let's go'.
Tilting his head back to support it on the seat, Damien closed his eyes to think about the only girl that was able to make his heart move.
Remembering the first day when he had seen her for the first time after that party when Alexander was shouted at by her, and she had ventured into woods all alone which was both dangerous and funny, he couldn't help but smile inwardly.
He remembered the way she knelt in front of him even when he was a wolf and talked to him like he was some kind of human. It was too cute for him to handle, and if he wouldn't have been in his wolf form, he would've laughed at her then there.
The funniest being when she had said, "She was too skinny for a big wolf-like him and she would give him an address where a party was going and he can go there to feed himself."
"Alpha, we are here," Sean announced after some time.
Opening his eyes, slightly annoyed that he was interrupted like this, he got out of the car with an annoyed expression.
Jasmine and her friends, who were coming out of the hotel to go shopping after a lot of persuading from Tiffany happened to exit the hotel at the same time when Damien got out of the car.
"But seriously Tiffany, are you serious about getting a gown, I mean, aren't you exaggerating a bit. You even dared to look for the most expensive store here." Jasmine talked while she walked back to face all her friends at once.
Since she was moving in a backwards motion, she didn't notice anyone who was behind her as she expected everyone to avoid bumping her when they would look at how she was walking.
However, Damien, who had just gotten out of his car, didn't notice her arrival and paused when he smelled a strange scent in the air.
Closing his eyes, he breathed in the scent one more time and couldn't help but feel a strange familiarity with the scent.
Remembering what happened a few minutes ago when he pulled the wrong girl thinking it was Victoria, he was about to open his eyes, thinking that he was being delusional again, however, before he could do that, Jasmine, who wasn't looking behind her bumped hard into him, making both of them stumble as she fell on top of him.
"Aish! Are you blind!! Didn't you see how was I walking?" She said as she looked at her scratched hands while still laying on top of Damien as if she was lying on a sofa without any care in the world.
Chris - "…"
Sean -"…"
Brittany, Tiffany, Milly, - "…"
"You! Why don't you say anything now! You deliberately-" Jasmine words got stuck in her throat when she gazed in the eyes of the man on top of whom she was still lying.
Widening her eyes when she saw the familiar amber coloured eyes, she was about to touch his face when she was interrupted by Milly, who pulled her off Damien roughly.
"Sheesh! What are you doing!" She whispered yelled at Jasmine, making her pout as all her attention was now on her scratched palms.
"Alpha," Chris said, extending his hand, praying for the girl inwardly, who dared enough to talk back to Damien.
Damien, who was still in a daze, hurried up when he heard Chris calling him.
Once Damien was standing, Chris turned to warn and threaten the girl who made such a severe mistake, however, when both Sean and Chris looked at the face of the person standing in front of them, they couldn't help but gasp inwardly.
"Victoria?" Chris said as if afraid that she would vanish in thin air if he said that word loudly.
When Damien heard the name from Chris's mouth, he knew that he wasn't imagining things, and this girl indeed looked somewhat similar to his Victoria.
"What are you waiting for! Apologize!" Milly said more like berated her, confusing Damien's constant stare as his anger.
"Why should I, he was the one who wasn't looking!" Jasmine said, not wanting to back down as she looked at Damien with a glare.
