VICTORIA’S POV
“What happened after that?” I asked, probing grandpa to finish the story.
“She was feeling betrayed by the gods. Although her mates had accepted the fact that they need to share her with two other men, the problems among them for her love and time persisted. She was so angry at her life, her mother, her mates, the gods who did her wrong, and the world increased so much that she decided to change all of it.
She decided to destroy everything. She decided to take revenge on the gods for her ruined and cursed life. However, for that, she needed energy. The most powerful thing in this world is love. Remember how Damien has used the mate bond between you, Alexander, and himself to save Alexander’s life? She did the same thing but in a negative manner.” Grandpa paused before looking at me in the eyes.
“When she turned twenty-two, and all her potential got unlocked, she killed her mates one by one to extract the energy from them and the mate bond. And as she had guessed, she became stronger. She knew that her life span was of a few more years, thus, the next thing she did was kill her mother, who was the reason for all of this. That day, she vowed to herself to make the gods kneel in front of her.
She was blinded by anger, ego, and her powers. After she was done with them, she started destroying humans and other species. She created three big monsters according to the abilities of the species that she wanted to kill. It was a disastrous event. And the gods who had done her wrong indeed had to come. They are proud powers themselves, and thus, rather than bowing to her as she wanted, they called all the powerful witches in the world along with the vampires and werewolves.
After tying her up with the coven spells, the gods segregated all the powers that they had incorporated in her themselves and prisoned them.”
“Those powers were none other than Jasmine, Carla, and Emerald,” I said, and my grandpa nodded his head in agreement.
“However, they weren’t done with that. I am not sure what happened, but my father told me that they didn’t kill her easily. It was a painful death that no one was allowed to see. Everyone was sent back, and after that what happened, no one knows about it. Now coming to your grandma’s story,” My grandpa said, and everyone sat on the couch.
I guess this one is going to be a long one.
“As I have told you, Azrael was born 12 years after Madeline. Though Madeline hated her mom Eva for what she did with her, she had a special connection with Azrael, and Azrael didn’t love her any less. It was a beautiful bond that both of them shared, and it won’t be wrong to say that Azrael had helped her in her destruction plan. When I had met Azreal and found out that she was my mate, she was spending her time in the juvenile center of our kingdom. After I convinced my dad that she was my mate, he released her when she was perfectly trained.
After that, we were married, and then we had Martha. I thought she was over this Madeline thing, but I found that she was trying to free those powers that were in the prison.
At that time also, she was on with her hybrid plan. However, all her plans came crashing down when your mom found her mate Nelson, ” My grandpa said before looking at me.
“Your mom tried to conceive for so many years but failed every time. It was something that Azrael hated a lot. I had debarred your mom from taking the throne, and at that time, even I had thought that she was doing all of this for the next heiress/ heir of the throne, and thus, I let her do anything. Your mom must’ve told you that your grandma sacrificed a she-wolf in the spell for you to be born. That she-wolf was none other than Alexander’s uncle’s mate, who was pregnant with three cubs. Do you think that a thousand-year-old witch won’t be able to know whether a she-wolf is pregnant or not? It was all her plan from the very beginning. It was a few days ago you were born did I came to know about the spell. To say I was furious at that time would be an understatement,” My grandpa said, and I looked at him in understanding.
So basically, my birth was a big mistake. I shouldn’t have been born in the first place.
“You can start your pity party once I am done with the story,” My grandpa said, and I looked at him with annoyance before nodding my head.
He is telling me that I shouldn’t have been born, and he expects me to stay all happy about it?
“They cunningly gave me that Daniel and thought that I wouldn’t know about it. I wouldn’t have found either if Daniel hadn’t cried. I knew that she must’ve put you under the spell, and thus, you shouldn’t be even blinking your eyes, let alone cry so loudly. I searched for you, but she did a good job in hiding you. It was because of Patrick that I was finally able to find you. Your first awakening as a hybrid occurred when you were born. Your second awakening as a hybrid was when you were six years old, and she made a mark on your palm. Your third awakening was when you were 18 years old and met your grandma in that club. Your fourth awakening happened when you were unconscious for six months because of that sacrifice spell.” My grandpa listed, and I listened to his words with closed eyes.
So these were the exact times when I was backstabbed by my grandmother.
“I am afraid to say this, but you are already in your transformation to become Madeline,” My grandpa said, and everything came crashing down for me.
“Your grandma must’ve turned on the transformation not long ago. Has she come to meet you recently? Because last time I met you, your powers weren’t turned on,” My grandpa asked, and everyone turned to look at Alexander, who was the reason, she had come to meet me recently.
“Don’t look at me like that. How was I supposed to know that she was the one who was causing all the problems? She was always protecting her when she was in the trouble, and I naturally thought that she was her well-wisher.” Alexander said, and I couldn’t help but sigh at him.
He wasn’t alone in that thought. Who would have thought that there was such a big conspiracy in all her actions? No wonder she always asked me to keep myself protected.
“Wait, so does that mean you guys have been meeting since she was little? Then all the hype about you wanting to look for her and kill her was fake? Besides, if you knew what Azrael was doing, why didn’t you ever tried to stop her? You could’ve sent her back into jail. Wasn’t she breaking rules by activating the hybrid part of her?” Ashton asked, and Neptune looked at my grandpa before answering the question from his side.
His question was indeed right. I was so busy with self-pity that I never thought why was the strongest witch in the world, the king, was not stopping all of this from happening.
