Different from the first time

Victoria's POV

"I'm sorry if my words might have hurt you ". She apologized sincerely  

Seeing the sincerity in her all the anger and pain I felt vanished away  

"It's okay, you were just being a curious cat". I smiled at her before looking away  

"Dinner is already served, please come join us". Eric's aunt smiled at me and led me to the table  

I followed her to the dining table and took a seat while I noticed Eric took the seat opposite me. 

I stared at the table and cloud noticed different type of appetizing dishes displayed on the table, and I wondered if we could eat them all  

"Please eat ". Eric's dad spoke up  

I smiled and nod my head at him before picking up the spoon. 

I put in a small quantity of food on my plate and slowly ate with the others. 

We ate in silence and no one said a word for a while before Jessica spoke up  

"It's my birthday next week, I hope you could come".she directed those words to Eric, who smiled at her but didn't say a word  

"Say something , hope you are coming".she murmured like a child 

"Of course I will be there, where are you celebrating it". Eric asked while taking a spoon of food in his mouth and chewed slowly  

I stared at him chewing and realized he was well-trained and disciplined.  

"I want to use the Loki hotel hall".she murmured nervously while staring at Eric who has no expression on his face  

"Can I use it?".she asked almost like a plead while staring at Eric with a pity look that I could swear she was different from the girl throwing words at me  

"You know there is nothing you ask for that I won't give you ". Eric muttered those words firmly  

"Thank you, you are the best".she giggled happily and stood up from her chair while she hug Eric slightly from the shoulder  

She smiled at everyone and even me before taking her seat  

"You spoil this girl too much ".his aunt spoke up with a big frown on her face . 

"Please mother allow me enjoy him now that he isn't married and have no child ".she murmured while rolling her eyes at her mother  

"Married or not, I will always see to your needs".he declared those words firmly. 

"Loki hotel ". I whispered to myself 

That name sound familiar, I must have heard that name from somewhere. 

"If you are not hungry, then you should stop eating, instead of playing with the food". Eric's voice caught my attention  

I stared at my plate and realized I was actually playing with the food in my plate  

"I'm sorry ". I whispered and started eating  

Eric stared at me for a while before he continued eating. 

We ate for a while until we were all through  

"Thanks for the meal ". I muttered, standing up from the chair  

"It's okay my dear, I should be the one thanking you for accepting our invitation".she smiled warmly at me and I wondered where Eric must have gotten his cold-blooded spirit from. 

We left the dinning table and all sat on the couch in the sitting room. 

"I think we should start going". Eric muttered those words while standing up  

"Give me a minute with Victoria ".his aunt spoke up, but Eric nervously spoke up  

"It's late aunt, you guys could talk some other time ".he suggested nervously, and I wondered why he was nervous. 

"Let's go, my dear ".his aunt ignored him and I followed her upstairs. 

"Please come In".she opened a door and we both went in  

When I step into the room I exclaim in shock, it was bigger than my flat, beautifully designed and all the furniture were in the right place. 

"Please sit".his aunt muttered those words again when she noticed I was still standing by the door. 

I smiled at her and sat on the couch, she smiled at me and sat beside me. 

"You must be wondering why I called you here". 

I nod my head at her,  

She smiled at me before speaking up  

"When I heard Eric has finally found his mate I was thrilled to meet you, and had so many expectations from you, and I'm glad you match up to my expectations, seeing you I knew the moon goddess selected you perfectly for my Eric".she smiled warmly at me and kept in talking 

"Ever since Eric turned eighteen it has been my prayer that he finds his mate, it took long but seeing you I knew the wait was worth it".she muttered those words while moving closer to me and took my two hands in her hands. 

"I beg you, Victoria". I did not let those words finish from her mouth  

"What are you doing aunt". I asked, shocked 

"Allow me to finish". She smiled at before she kept on talking  

"Please Victoria stay with him ".she begged  

"I know he might not be treating you in a way he should, but I promise you that he will definitely come around  because I already see his love for you in his eyes ".she spoke up firmly 

"Love for me ?". I asked in doubt 

Eric can never lover me, whatever his aunt saw in his eyes is the desire to have my body and nothing else. 

"Yes, I know you won't believe it now, but I took care of Eric, I raised him up, and he is my son and a mother knows her child more than anyone else ".she declared those words firmly. 

I shake my head in disbelief but did not say a word  

"Just be patient with him please?".she pleaded 

"Give him sometime, and he will come around, I beg you ". 

I stared at her and wondered why she was saying all this, Eric and I are complete different people and I know things will never work between us and besides I love someone else. 

"Promise me you will give him so time".She asked almost like a plead  

I stared at her and saw the sincerity in her and had no option than to nod my head at her  

"Thank you ".she flashed me a big smile before she hug me slightly  

"You are a nice girl Victoria, Eric's dad was right when he told me you remind him of his late wife my sister".she smiled warmly at me before getting up from the chair. 

"Let's go, I believe Eric must be in panic by now, wondering what we might be discussing ".we both chuckled softly and left the room. 

We went downstairs, and I could feel Eric's curious eyes on me, and it really made me uncomfortable. 

"Hope to see you again ". Jessica muttered out with a smile on her face before she gave me a tight hug 

"Once again I'm sorry for what I said earlier". She whispered those words to me and moved away from me  

"See you some other time ". Eric's father smiled at me before walking away. 

"Let's go ". Eric muttered those words and walked away while I walk behind him. 

Sensing the mood, I knew he had a fight with his father because I could notice he was angry and had a different mood. 

We got into the car, and he drove off in full speed and in anger. 

I put on my seat belt and calm down myself, but it wasn't working  

He was driving on a full speed and out of control  

"Slow down ". I begged  

But he ignored me and kept on driving  

"Slow down". I shouted and tried controlling my breath while I practice all the doctors told me whenever I'm in such attack or panic. 

He ignored me and kept on driving at full speed, but luckily for me, the distance wasn't a far one and within a few minutes we were in front of my apartment and parked the car. 

I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath to calm myself when I heard his voice  

"You can leave, we are in your house ". Hearing those words from him, I felt anger run through my blood, he gave me a panic attack and almost killed me, and he acted like nothing was wrong  

"Are you deaf, I said leave ". I did not let him finish his words when I raised my hand and slapped him hard on the cheek. 

He stared at me with anger and I could notice the colors of his eyes were darker, 

"What did you just do ?".he asked in anger  

"Never in my life ". I yelled in anger  

"I don't want to ever see you in my life ". I declared in anger and rushed out of the car. 

I went to my flat, open the door and quickly went inside. 

I rushed to my drawer, brought out my drugs and took out two tablets of the medicine and drank it with water. 

 I lay on my bed with my back and tried to calm down my nerves. 

I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath before opening my eyes. 

I touched my chest and noticed I was breathing normal again  

"Fuck you Eric". I yelled in anger.

I almost had a panic attack because of him, and he wasn't bothered about it not even a bit, 

I tried to get some sleep but just then I noticed my phone ringing.

I checked the caller and noticed it was Kelvin calling, I smiled and picked you the call, 

"Are you back ?". I asked, 

"Yes, how are you ?".he asked with so much care in his voice that I wondered why I wasn't fortunate to be his mate.

"I'm fine ". I murmured

"You don't sound fine to me, is everything okay?".he asked with curiosity

"Yes I'm fine". I said those words, but then a thought came to my head, Kelvin and DOM Tim know each other, so he must definitely know something about DOM Tim.

"Can I ask you something ?" I asked 

"What is it, is there a problem". Kelvin asked in curiosity

"No, everything is fine, I just want to get few information about DOM Tim from you ".

"DOM Tim ?".he asked, 

"Yes, at least can you tell me his name". I begged, 

He kept quiet for a while before speaking up 

"Why do you want to know about him ".he asked 

"Just tell me Kelvin it's really important " I pleaded.

He did not say a word for a while before he spoke up, 

"I'll be going for a friend's birthday party tomorrow, come with me, and we can talk about it over there".

I thought for a while and agreed to go with him, at least I will be working on morning shift tomorrow.

"So I'll come pick you up by 7pm".he stated

"Alright, that will be fine by me "

"Alright, have a good night rest".

"You too ". I replied and ended the call, 

I smiled at myself and kept back the phone, I can't wait for tomorrow to come.

Eric's POV

"What was that ?". I muttered out to myself while touching my cheek 

Victoria had the guts to slap me just because I drove on a high speed. 

I stared at her apartment and the urge to come out of the car and bang into her flat triggered in me, but I held it and controlled myself. 

I put on the car and drove off. 

I constantly hit the wheel of the car in anger as dad's words kept ringing in my head 

"Sometimes I regret having you as my only child, if only I had another son I won't be bothering myself with you ".dad muttered those words with all seriousness in him and I knew he wasn't joking, he meant all he said. 

I groan in anger as I kept driving in high speed until I got home. 

I parked the car and hand over the keys to my driver 

"Welcome sir". 

I nod my head at him and went inside my room, I pulled off my shoes and pants before pulling off my jacket and shirt. 

I sat on the bed and closed my eyes to calm down my nerves, but what happened few minutes ago in aunt's place flashed in my head. 

"You still haven't accepted her yet ".he muttered those words, staring at me with disappointment 

I groan but did not say a word 

"What is your problem?". Dad asked in anger 

"Why can't you just accept her, what is the big deal over this ".he yelled in anger 

"Stop it dad, stop it". I yelled, irritated, 

"Stop what ?".dad yelled in anger 

"What the fuck is your problem?". Dad asked in anger, 

"Nothing dad, I just don't want her, I've told you to let me do things my own way ". I muttered out in anger 

Dad stood up from the couch and walk up to me with anger in his eyes. 

 He stood before me ,and I could feel how angry he was  because I could hear his wolf howling in anger. 

"Do things your own way ?".dad yelled in anger 

"Sometimes I regret having you as my only child, if only I had another son I won't be bothering myself over you ".he expressed those words like he meant everything he said 

Hearing those words from him, I felt a sharp pain in my heart, this was the first time dad said such a thing to me and all this was because of her. 

I snap out of my thought and stood up from the bed. 

I went to the bathroom and step into the shower, I pull off my underwear and put on the shower. 

I hissed in relief when the cold water fell on my body, I closed my eyes and all that happened in the car flash in my head 

She slapped me, she slapped me because I was on a high speed .she has the guts to slap me and I couldn't do anything about it.

I came out of the shower with water dripping from my body and walked into the sitting room, I put on my underwear and stood in front of the mirror.

I stood in front of the mirror and could notice scratches all over my body, I turn my back halfway and noticed her fingers mark on my body.

I closed my eyes and could still feel her moans and screams in my head.

This was the second time I was having sex with her, but this it was different, it felt like we were connected this time and the feeling was different to me.

I left the mirror and lay on my bed while I tried to force myself to sleep,, but the ringing of my phone caught my attention.

I went for my phone and noticed the call was Sophie, 

I was expecting her call but not this early,

I groan angrily and kept back the phone.

I wasn't in the mood for her blabbering.

I lay on the bed with only one person in my mind, and that was Victoria.
