My Personal Lycan King

Chapter 119 - Book-2 -34 It's Carla Who Had Sacrificed The Baby?

“Let me start from the very beginning. On the day of the sacrifice, you know what happened, right? Victoria took the spell on herself. It’s the rule, or you can say the demand of the sacrifice spell that whenever it is performed, a soul is needed to be sacrificed. That was the reason why Victoria decided to sacrifice herself in your place.

If Victoria had fallen into the river at the right time, then the sacrifice spell could’ve been denied, and she could’ve been saved. However, she didn’t fall in water on time. She had denied Carla’s interference because Carla decided to sacrifice her witch powers, and thus, even when Carla wanted to help her, she couldn’t and neither witch powers. Even after not falling in the water, she is alive, do you know why? Because the soul that was sacrificed in the spell at that time was of your unborn baby.” Azrael finished, making Alexander look at her with widened eyes. ??

“What did you say? Come again?” Alexander asked, his wolf hunter edging to take over.

“She was three weeks pregnant when she was almost dying. She came to know about the truth when she woke up. And since then, she has been feeling guilty about it. When she came to know about it and that the mate bond has broken, she had shunned herself, and that was the main reason why Jasmine had been in control of her body for so long.” Azrael said more like explained.

“Miss Azrael, there is a question that I was intending to ask you since I came to know that our mate bond has broken. Like Carla is her wolf power and has Damien as her mate, then does that mean that Jasmine also has a mate somewhere out there? And since our mate bond has been broken, is it possible that there will be a new mate for Victoria soon?” Alexander asked, making Azrael widen her eyes in shock as she didn’t expect him to ask such a question.

“That I am not sure about. This is the first time, a hybrid has been alive for so long. Currently, she is the only hybrid in the world, and everything about her is a little bit unpredictable. What will happen the next day, it is hard to tell beforehand because her destiny and fate can’t be predicted that easily.” Azrael said, not looking into Alexander’s eyes because she was ashamed that she was lying to him like this. But, she also knows that the less they both will know, the happier will they be able to live.

“Honestly, Alexander, she didn’t know anything about it. Without the guidance of anyone, she is trying to fight this off all by herself. Her parents, who should've taught her how to cooperate with these things, left her because they were afraid that her grandfather will find her and will come to kill her. She is strong, she will be able to manage even without us, but the thing that she will be needing is someone’s support. Today, she sat on the throne, and it won’t be long before her grandfather will come looking for her, wanting to meet her, and probably kill her. She is not strong enough to face him off alone, and I don’t know how much will I be able to help you guys because it is my husband we are talking about.” Azrael said, making Alexander nod at her words.

“Also, I know that you both want to protect each other and want to save everyone, especially your people, but sometimes, it’s okay to be a little bit selfish. Cherish her, Alexander. Cherish the time you both have with each other. Cherish every single second because even you might not know what is going to happen in the next second.” Azrael said, and Alexander could not help but look out of the window, hearing her words with complicated thoughts running inside his head.

Meanwhile, in the room, Victoria sat beside the bed and looked around the room, her eyes moving and almost scanning every part of the room.

It looks exactly like how she has left it two years ago. Smiling a bit, she looked at the photo frame on the bedside that had the image of Alexander kissing her on the day of his throwing and couldn’t help but smile at the memories.

Picking up the photo frame, her eyes landed on the bracelet that was placed in a box behind the photo frame.

Isn’t it the bracelet that Alexander had given to her on the day of her birthday? She thought before picking it up. It was as beautiful as ever. Feeling a strange kind of attraction to the bracelet, she placed it in her hand before deciding to wear it, her eyes immediately widening when she felt an excruciating pain in her body.

“What is happening to me?” She thought, panicking.

Thinking that it was all this bracelet’s doing, she tried to remove the bracelet from around her arms, however, no matter how hard she tried, she wasn’t even able to budge the bracelet from her wrist, let alone take it off.

“Victoria? Don’t panic. Your panicking will cause you more pain. It’s nothing. It’s just this bracelet recognizing me as its soulful owner.” Carla said from inside her subconscious, making Victoria’s eyes widened who was shocked as to how Carla can speak to her even after she has blocked her.

“It’s because you’ve blocked me that you are feeling this pain, Victoria. I know you want me out. And the only reason you are not allowing me in the subconscious of your body is that you are afraid that I’ll create havoc when I’ll come to know that it was our child that was sacrificed in the spell, right?” Carla asked, making Victoria widen her eyes in shock once again.

“How do you know about it? I-” Victoria started but stopped when she didn’t know how to explain herself.

“Victoria, I knew that there was a baby in your womb when it appeared on the first day. Remember getting dizzy when you were trying to get to the mansion on the day when Alexander was replaced by a fake one? You didn’t have any idea about it, but I had. And honestly, I was going to tell you about it along with Damien. However, things happened, and we were not able to meet our mate after that. First, he was replaced by the fake one, and when we came to know about the truth, you took the sacrifice spell on yourself.” Carla said before taking a deep breath to calm her aching heart.

“That day, I know you were hurt, and you hated me because I was trying to sacrifice your witch powers without you knowing about it, and that's why you had blocked me. But the truth is that I was doing it because there was a baby in your womb. Before I could tell you the truth, you had blocked me and didn’t even let me help you by sacrificing myself. After that, you were about to die on the steep hill because you didn’t fall on the water, and at that time I had asked Jasmine to direction the spell to your womb as much as possible so that the soul that is sacrificed was of our baby.

Since you were only three weeks pregnant, there was no heartbeat in the baby, and that was the reason why you had to suffer so much even when the soul was sacrificed. For a mother to let go of her unborn child, I know how hard it is.” Caral said, her eyes brimming with tears.

“When you came to know about the truth and you had shunned yourself, I wanted to tell you the truth at that time also, however, because you had shunned me out, and then shunned yourself with Jasmine in control, I couldn’t even reach you, let alone tell you the whole truth and console you. It’s not you who killed our child, Victoria. It’s me. It’s all of ours problem and fault and not yours alone. So stop blaming yourself about it.” Carla said with a sad smile on her face.
