VICTORIA'S POV
"Hey, Are you okay? You've been staring at his room's door for quite some time. I don't even know why you are doing this. You are just hurting yourself, Victoria." I heard Daniel say, making me smile sadly at him.
Why I was doing this? I would like to know the answer to it as well.
Was it because I wanted to make him suffer? Or was it because I was having this intuition that something was wrong? Like there was something off about this situation.
Even if Alexander hated me and had said those hurtful words, but when I sat in the room thinking about it, I don't know why it felt like, he wasn't true to himself. Maybe it was just my wishful thinking, or it was what my heart wanted to believe, but the person I loved can't be like this. It can't be like what he is right now.
I can't believe that I made such a disastrous choice while giving my heart to someone.
"Oh, looks like we have a freeloader here." I heard someone say, bringing me out from my thoughts.
"Who is the freeloader, Alexander? Am I not the rightful queen here? Have you forgotten what happened this morning?" I raised my eyes cockily, challenging him to see if he had something to refute.
"Of course, you are the rightful Queen. So tell me, what room are you staying in? Let's make out tonight. You need to fulfill your duties as the queen and please the king." He smirked.
"I dare you to come to my room tonight," I said, knowing all too well that my eyes must've glowed dangerously, and the thing that I can control who is allowed to see my pressurizing aura was an added benefit.
I saw Alexander gulping before he looked down at the food with a complicated gaze.
"Look the bitch is here," I said, making everyone on the dining table chuckle as a maid helped Laila to the dining table on the wheelchair.
Strange enough, her seat was right beside me, and I couldn't help but smirk when I saw a tint of fear in her eyes.
"Take that bitch." I mouthed to her, chuckling when I saw her gritting her teeth.
"Don't you think you are having a bit too much fun?" Daniel said smilingly, making me shrug my shoulders nonchalantly.
"The dog and the bitch, what a pair. I heard your room is closest to Daniel? What a coincidence, no? I bet it will be easy for you guys to see each other at night. What queen, I am sure she is here just to get comfortable living with Daniel since it would be too inappropriate if she calls him at her home every night." Alexander commented, making me stab the steak in front of me in annoyance.
"Alexander, watch your words!" Daniel shouted while standing, making me look at him in horror when his form started to change.
"You dare threaten your king just because of her? Why? You seem to like the bedtime with her too much for your good, no? Talk about some shit loyalty that you've got towards the kingdom and your king." Alexander smirked, looking at Daniel.
I looked at Alexander's expression and couldn't help but feel like something was wrong with it.
It looked like, like-
Before I could think further, Daniel threw the chair aside before jumping towards Alexander taking his collar in his hands, about to punch him when security personnel rushed and held Daniel to control him.
Seeing Alexander's smirking gaze, I immediately understood that whatever I was thinking earlier was right. He deliberately angered him and made him furious because he knew he cherished his friendship and loyalty to the kingdom the most.
And when Alexander questioned it, Daniel's wolf became angry, and now that he had raised his hand at Alexander, which will be considered as the threat to the king and kingdom, and-
I looked at Daniel in horror, who has half turned into a wolf. I could see his wolf was in control now.
"Daniel, calm down," I said, fearing that they were trying to do what I think they were.
"Daniel, calm down for god's sake!" I screeched, making Daniel's wolf shift his attention to me now.
"Please?" I pleaded, almost on the verge of tears.
What I didn't expect was Daniel's wolf to push all the men away and rush to my side before he hugged me tightly almost lifting me in the air.
'No..no...this isn't right. I can't let Alexander win at this. I have to stop Daniel.' I thought but before I could say anything or do anything.
I heard Alexander speaking,
"Seeing how Daniel, the alpha-beta of Alexander hunter in a fit of anger tried to harm his king and kill his king in broad daylight in front of everyone, which is seen as a disrespect to not only the king but also the kingdom, and how he has hugged his Luna Queen intimately in front of his king, questioning the authority of the king and purity of the sacred mate bond, I Alexander hunter, the present king of The Wolf's species kingdom, bars Daniel from this pack, and cease the pack bond that he carries with everyone, making it null and void.
He shall be thrown out of the pack with immediate effect." Alexander said, making me slump in Daniel's arms.
Smirking at me one last time, Alexander dusted his clothes with invisible dust before sending a flying kiss towards me in mockery and exiting the dining hall.
I wanted to follow him and confront him about it, but the screaming sound from Daniel rendered me unable to move as I saw him falling on the ground in pain as the pack bond started to cease itself.
I saw him coughing out blood and couldn't help but hug him close to myself as he screamed in agony, making me tearful as I looked at his sorry state, which was all because of me.
"I am so sorry, Daniel." I sobbed while hugging him as I started feeling his pain in my body.
"Quick! Take them both to the pack doctor! This is not good." I heard Theodore's voice echoing in the room, but I was too far gone in my subconscious to care about it.
I could feel my powers taking over me as they created a protective shield around my mind, which was helping me numbing Daniel's pain that I was feeling for some unknown reasons.

STRANGER'S POV
"Boss, Alexander hunter has ordered to throw Daniel out of the pack." I heard someone say near me.
"Really? Such a pity. I had asked the boy to add the powder to Alexander's drink, but he was acting too smart for his own good. Did he think I won't be able to know why he was taking turns on the border patrol while asking his men to secretively venture out of the border so that he can search for my base? I warned him, but that's the most I could've done." The other man who was supposedly the boss said.
I don't know why I feel like I've heard this voice before.
"What about the king's mate? That half-human. When are we making a move on her?" The other man said.
"Ohh, I heard she is a beauty. I can't wait anymore to see her and have her in my arms. Let's do it as soon as possible, yeah? By the way, the witch is going to come to look at this guy soon. Keep him like this till then. I like how he is suffering. Did he think he will be able to come between me and my kingdom? Now all I have left to deal with is this king's mate, and then I'll be able to destroy this lousy pack. Huh... Looks like I am near the victory and I'll take back my kingdom." The boss said before I heard the sound of the door closing, and I was left in the pit of darkness again.
King's mate? Victoria?
