Chapter 40 Time is approaching
Victoria’s POV
A knock on my door woke me up from my sleep. Grumbling with annoyance, I went to the door, opened it and saw that it was Sonia. “Woah girl, I’ve been knocking on that door for ages.”she murmured, but I ignored her, rolled my eyes and went back to the bed.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Don’t you have your keys?” I asked in annoyance. “I forgot mine.” She said those words as she began taking off her shoes.
Groaning Tiredly, I tried to go back to sleep, but Sonia wouldn’t let me. “Aren’t you curious about where I spent the night ?” She asked. “We will talk about that when I wake up, but right now, I need to get some sleep.” I murmured those words and covered my body with a blanket.
”So…” Sonia was about to say something when a knock came on the door. “Are you expecting anyone?” She asked, but I lazily shook my head and closed my eyes.
Sonia mumbled words I couldn’t hear and stood on her feet. I noticed she went for the door, but I did not pay attention to it. “Hey, Vicky, Eric’s dad is here to see you.” Sonia announced. Hearing those words from Sonia, I grumbled and left the bed. Tiredly, I went to the bathroom to wash my face.
“Please have a seat, sir”. I could hear Sonia’s voice from the bathroom. Quickly, I washed my face and brushed my teeth before staring at myself in the mirror and left the bathroom. I stepped into the room and saw Eric’s father staring at me with a big smile on his face. “Good day, sir “. I smiled at him and sat on the bed. “Good day Vicky, how are you “. “Very fine sir”. I murmured.
“I’m going to get the stuff I told you about, I’ll be back “. Sonia made that excuse and left the room.
“I’m a very straightforward person, so I will get to the point”, he spoke firmly. I nodded my head and did not say a word. “I know you already know who we are.” he spoke firmly. “How did you know,” I asked, confused. “I read minds.” he replied with a smile. “Oh!” was all I could say.
“You are Eric’s mate, his soulmate and his other half.’ he expressed those words happily. “Eric is connected to you, so are you connected to him by the moon goddess.” He explained further. “The full moon is fast approaching and Eric will have to claim you as his mate on that day, and you should get prepared.” he added.
“What ?” I asked, confused.
“I know all these are too hard for you to process, but with time you will get used to it”. He assured me with a friendly smile. We sat there in silence for a while before I spoke up. “Is there a way I could no longer be his mate? Maybe he can choose someone else”. I asked curious, “No.” he slowly shook his head
“He can decide to pick someone else, but you are his mate and will still be connected to him”, he spoke firmly. “This is ridiculous because this man hates me with real passion.” I murmured in anger.
“It’s just for the moment, once he marks you as his mate, all that will be over.” he expressed those words like he was so sure of it. I groaned at his words and roughly ran my fingers through my hair.
“Please think about it.” he pleaded as he stood on his feet. “I believe Eric will get in touch with you very soon.” he moved closer to me and gently tapped my left shoulder. ”Take care of yourself.” he muttered out those words and smiled at me before leaving the room. I groaned in frustration and lay on the bed. How on Earth could I be a mate to Eric? Of all people, it’s this cold and heartless man who hates me with passion.
“He left so quickly “. I heard Sonia’s voice at the door. I sighed softly and tried to close my eyes, but I couldn’t.
”What did he say ?”. Sonia asked, curiously, which made me grumble and sit on the bed. ”He said the full moon is coming, and I have to be mated with Eric.” I murmured with a frown.
“Really”. She asked, excited.
“Why are you excited?”. I asked, irritated.
“Because it’s going to be exciting.” She murmured
“If you are so excited about this, why don’t you take my place.” I asked while rolling my eyes in annoyance.
“I wish I could.”she chuckled and lay on the bed with her back.
“So, what will you do?” She asked,
“I don’t know”. I murmured,
“You know these people are really dangerous, and you can’t run from them, Vicky.” she said those words in a serious tone.
I sighed in frustration and took in a deep breath. “I won’t “. I murmured,
“You what ?” She asked in disbelief.
“I won’t do it, I can’t give a cold-hearted man my body just because of some silly ritual, and to make things worse, he hates me.” Saying those words I remember how he almost killed me in his father’s house the other day.
“His father said he could choose a girl and make her his, then he should do it, and they should let me be.” I murmured,
“That will be up to him to decide. You can’t decide that for him.” Sonia spoke firmly. “That’s bullshit, who made this law “. I spoke angrily.
“Does the government know about this “? I asked in anger, while Sonia chuckled loudly and stared at me with a mockery look.”Do you want to report them or fight against them?” she asked with a scoff.
“Yes, if doing that will make them leave me alone, then I will have to.”I murmured, while Sonia laughed loudly at my words and said,
“Let me make one thing clear to you Vicky, you can’t fight against them, and also, you can’t use the government to fight against them because they are in top positions in the government.”
“What the fuck!” I groaned.
