Chapter 65 I didn't betray him, I can't see her sad

DANIEL'S POV

What was happening right now? I looked at Alexander, who was in an intense make-out session, and couldn't help but feel confused by his actions.

Yes, I was thinking about drugging him earlier and sending him to Robert, but seeing how much Victoria and Alexander loved each other, I had finally dropped the idea.

To be honest, I wasn't even thinking about it. Seeing how Robert was well-informed about every minute detail regarding what is happening in the mansion and the pack, I was sure he has other men, who were living with us and were reporting everything to him and to make it look like I was on their side, I was deliberately acting against Alexander and was acting closer to Victoria.

I was going to tell Alexander about the potential danger lurking in the woods in the name of Robert today.

Did Robert think I would betray my best friend and Alpha King just because I was in love with a girl who didn't even look at me that way? I wasn't pathetic like that. I loved her with all my heart and knew that her happiness was in Alexander only.

But the scene in front of me was confusing me. The only reason I didn't betray Alexander was that I knew he was the right choice for both Victoria and the pack, but seeing how he was acting, I couldn't help but question my decision now.

Turning around, I looked at the girl in front of me who was on the verge of tears and looked pained by what Alexander was doing.

It broke my heart to see her trembling form like this, as my hands trembled while holding her with the amount of sadness that was flowing out of her.

I was feeling her every emotion clearly, and though it was a mystery to me that why I feel her emotions, I couldn't help but engulf her in an embrace to stop her trembling form from falling on the ground.

It broke my heart when she looked at me with tearful eyes as if asking me a thousand questions about why Alexander was being like this, and I hated that I didn't know the answers to them. That I didn't know how to ease her pain.

Turning around, I looked back at Alexander, who was still busy in his make-out session, and I don't know why but it felt like he knew we were here and was deliberately Kissing Laila to hurt Victoria.

Looking at him, I clenched my fists as my wolf edged to take over. I can't make any rash decisions right now. It could be just some spell of a nasty witch or any other reason for all I know.

VICTORIA'S POV

Pain. Immense pain and agony was the only thing I was feeling right now.

"Step aside, Daniel. I need to confront this and face him on my own." I said softly.

"I can't. I won't. I won't let you see this heartbreaking scene when I know it'll crush you from inside. And it is crushing you." Daniel said, his hands still firmly placed on my eyes.

"I said, step aside!" I screamed my witch powers edging to take control. However, what I wasn't able to understand was why Carla wasn't responding anymore.

Hearing my authoritative voice, Daniel whimpered a little before stepping aside.

I looked at the duo, who was soo busy in their make-out session that they still hadn't noticed me standing here.

"Alexander! Get down this instant!" I shouted as loudly as I can to gain his attention.

I saw few of the pack members or maids, who were allowed to live in the mansion starting to come out of their rooms, but one stare from Daniel rendered them unable to move as they quickly rushed inside their respective rooms again.

"Victoria? Dear? What's this commotion?" Alexander's mom asked as she came outside from her room with Theodore Roosevelt tailing behind her.

Theodore was about to say something, however, when he turned to look towards my line of sight, he immediately stopped himself from saying whatever he wanted to say.

I searched for Carla inside my mind and felt more broken when I saw her state.

Carla was in pain right now, and she was barely handling herself as I saw her silently crying.

Alexander, who had my attention now, descended the stairs as a royal king, with Laila plastered to his side without a shame in the world.

"Why are you screaming like this? What is it? Speak fast. I don't like people interrupting my pleasure." He said, making me tremble as a drop of tear fell from my eyes.

"What is this, Alexander? You said you protect her, take her side, and everything because you are indebted to her, but what is this! What is the meaning of this? Please tell me this is all joke. This is not real, right?" I asked as I rushed to his side and held his hand, waiting for him to say it was a joke.

Holding his hand, I didn't notice any energy engulfing him, which means he was not under any spell.

As I looked at him earnestly waiting for his explanation and reasons, what I didn't expect was for him to jerk his hand away as he pushed me to the ground, making my leg that had started to heal a bit dislocating again, and I couldn't help but scream in agony.

"Alexander! What's this attitude!" Theodore yelled from above the stairs with Rosaline beside her as she had a hand on her mouth as if she was barely keeping her tears inside.

"What attitude? I don't see anything wrong with my attitude. Why are you all shouting like I committed any sin? Okay, she is my mate, I get it, but is it my fault if she can't satisfy me? I fucked her all night, and I didn't felt appeased, so I came to Laila, who can fulfill my demands. Is there anything wrong with that? Besides I am the king, I have the right to decide. Who are you to shout at your king?" Alexander said, and every word he uttered broke my heart into millions of shards.

So he is doing all this because I couldn't satisfy him? Was this some kind of sick joke? As far as I know, only a mate is truly able to satisfy his mate in the whole world, no matter if he is weak or strong.

"So, when you said that you loved me, was it all a joke?" I asked, hating that my voice shook at the end.

"Of course it was. If I hadn't said that, would you have allowed me to have my way with you? It had been two freaking months, and you were still not allowing me to sleep with you. I had to do something about it." He said as I looked at him with disbelief.

"Why? Why do you like her and not your mate! What's so good about her!" I couldn't help but screech.

"What's so good about her? She is powerful than you. She is sexy and seductive. Moreover, she will become a great Luna Queen and will help me lead the kingdom with a stronghold." He said, making me laugh at him in mockery.

She is stronger than me? Let's see if she is stronger or I am stronger.

"If you are so believing in her, then how about we have a duo, and then you can decide who is more powerful?" I asked, wanting to do anything to keep Alexander by my side.

I love him, and I don't know what spell or words Laila has used to lure him, but I was having a feeling that if I show him how powerful I am, he might believe me and come back to me.

"Victoria! Are you out of your mind! The doctor told you to rest. You have a broken leg, and you are thinking of having a dual with her?! Has your brain being fried?" Daniel shouted as he ran to my side before helping me to stand.

"Did you see that guys? She is such a bitch. Appearing so righteous in front of me while fucking my beta when I am not around. Do you guys think I don't know that you both love each other? I am sure you'll let him fuck you at the first chance you'll get when I am out of the picture. What are you acting for? Go on." He said, making me look at him in disbelief again.

Was he the Alexander that I had fallen in love with?

"Tomorrow 7 am sharp. I am ready for the duo, if your so-called perfect strong bitch is ready, then come to the ground, or I'll take that you guys got scared." With that, I limbed out of the mansion with great pain.

To be honest, the pain that I was feeling in my heart was far greater than what I was feeling in my body.

"Victoria, is everything okay?" I heard a female voice and turned around to look at Katie with the best smile I could muster in this situation.

"I am fine." With that, I walked straight into the woods.

Both my powers and Carla weren't reacting anymore, and it was making me a bit worried, but more than that I was feeling this constant weird feeling like something was wrong. And why wouldn't I feel that when my mate was making out with some other wolf and was even proud of that? What am I supposed to feel if not for that?

DANIEL'S POV

Looking at her brokenhearted expression, I was about to follow her when she started walking while struggling with her broken leg. However, the beeping of my phone stopped me in between.

"The mission is adjourned. You were smart enough to not do the work when you were given a chance. Well, it was a bad choice, Daniel. We will find someone else for our work, but we can't promise you the safety of your beloved anymore." The message said, and I couldn't help but look at Alexander, who was hugging Laila while whispering something in her ears that made her giggle.

Spotting Theodore who was looking at his son with a weird expression, I couldn't help but feel loathing towards him. He was the council head, if he wanted, he could've stopped Alexander earlier, but he just stood there enjoying the view while Alexander was insulting Victoria.

Shaking my head at Rosaline, who was crying while looking at her son, I was about to turn around and follow Victoria when Theodore called me.

"Daniel, I would like to have a moment with you. I want to know why you were spotted on the other side of the border quite often in the last ten days." He said before walking upstairs in the direction of his study probably.
