VICTORIA'S POV

Before I could rejoice in my happiness that Alexander was here and I might have a chance at survival, a thought struck my mind, that made me more scared than I already was. ​​

"Alexander was just a normal human being. How will he be able to fight off these men alone?" I thought and suddenly remembered the shrill scream filled with the agony that had echoed in the forest just now.

Opening my eyes from the bliss that I was feeling, I looked at the man that was holding me in his arms. However, his eyes were not on me. His eyes were trained on the men that were standing there while they looked at Alexander.

And wait, is that fear in their eyes, that I am sensing?

My eyes then followed on the ground where the man that was about to attack me earlier, was shredded to half.

I looked at Alexander in horror. Did he do that?

"Oh my god! How much strong is he, to shred a person in two? What is he hiding under that shirt of his?" I thought as my eyes widened in shock.

"Jesus, girl! Is that the only thing you are concerned about? You're more naughty than me!" Carla asked as she looked at the scene in horror.

I smiled awkwardly at her comment before I blocked my mind from the view I'm front so that she won't have to see this gruesome sight.

She might not be used to all this blood and human killing for all I know.

I must add if you guys were thinking that I am some weird psychotic murderer than Alexander was on a whole other level from me.

I looked back at the guy, and it was only then, did I noticed his clear hazel eyes that were shining in the dark. It made me want to touch his face, and grab his attention towards me.

"Alexander?" I whispered. Is that weird, that even after seeing such a gruesome sight, I was still not feeling any kind of fear from him. The sense of security from earlier only increased.

"Sshh...I am here. No one will be able to touch you or hurt you anymore, my mate." Alexander said, and boy did his voice felt so nice to my ears.

I don't know if it was just me but I felt like his voice was way deeper than the other times. It might be just my hallucination or because he was angry at the guys, but it was sexy none the less.

'Uhhh! Concentrate Victoria! Now is not the time for you to get aroused because of his voice and surface your love for him that you have hidden behind all those layers.'I reprimanded myself before I looked back at him.

Lifting me in the air, he made me sat behind a tree before he bent and looked at me,

"Now, we won't want these pretty eyes to see such dirty things and taint them, do we?" He asked as he tucked a strand of hair behind my ears.

Looking in his eyes that were so captivating and alluring, I just nodded before shaking my head in denial.

"Then, my sweet Victoria will keep her eyes closed until I say to open them, right?" He said as he gripped my chin gently, wiping the side of my lips.

I nodded in agreement, still dazed in his eyes, as I saw him retracing his had. I could see a little blood on his thumb that he used to wipe my lips. Still gazing at me, he put the thumb in his mouth, before he sucked on it.

'What in the actual hell!' I screamed in my mind, feeling more aroused than shocked at his gesture.

"Good girl." He said before he went behind the tree.

Do you guys ever get that feeling, when someone tells you to not look at something or do something, but then every cell of your body forces you and becomes curious as to why they denied and then you can't help yourself but want to peak at the thing?

Well, that's exactly what I was feeling right now.

Thinking that a small glance won't hurt, I turned around slightly, while still hiding behind the tree.

I tried to spot Alexander among the men of the opposite party.

I could hear the screams of pain and agony, and knowing that none of them belonged to my Alexander, I heaved a sigh of relief.

'Wait, did I just called him Mine? Where the hell did it come from?' I thought surprised at my feelings.

As I turned around again, to see what was happening I saw only 5 men were left standing and one of them punched Alexander in the chest, with a knife in his hand.

I was almost convinced to go there and start fighting again to help my saviour, but, then I saw him holding the hand of that person in his hand before he kicked the man away.

This resulted in that man's limb to separate from his body, as the man hit the tree while his hand was still in Alexander's hands oozing blood.

Throwing the hand away, Alexander took the knife from the ground, before he plunged the knife in three of them at lightning speed.

He was soo good at this!! And here I was, always acting proud because of my skills.

In front of him, my skills were nothing but like a newborn baby in front of his ancestors.

Seeing that almost everyone was down and Alexander was fighting off the last man, I turned around so that I can act like I didn't see anything, that included him dismembering the man or taking out limbs from a few.

I waited for Alexander to come to me, but when few seconds passed and I didn't hear any sound, I thought of turning and see what was happening, but as soon as I tilt my body, I saw Alexander face almost a few inches away from mine, which shocked me making me fall back, as I hit the ground with a groan.

"My naughty Victoria, don't you know, curiosity kills the cat," Alexander said in his same deep sexy voice that I have come to love before he chuckled and helped me get up.

Once I was sitting again, I looked at his body, for any wound, but didn't saw anything from above.

Taking his shirt in my hand I tore the shirt, exposing his chest to me. Placing my hand on the place where he was almost knifed, I searched for any wound and sighed when I didn't feel anything.

"What are you doing?" Alexander asked as he held my hand in place, by placing his hand on top of mine.

It was only then, did I realise, what I was doing, and how much of a compromising position were we sitting in.

Earlier, when I tore his shirt, it was done with a pure intention to check for wounds, but now that I have checked already, my eyes landed on his chest again, going down as I noticed his abs.

'Oh..oh..these lickable abs..oh my god.' I thought in my head, as my eyes explored his chest, looking at them like they were the best candy that I want to taste, forgetting all about how my hand was still on his chest under his.

Holding the hand that was on his chest, Alexander pulled me close to himself, before, making our body almost touch each others.

"You didn't answer me. What are you doing?" He asked as he leaned closer to me, placing his head in my neck.

Maybe he is tired after fighting soo many men.

"I was checking for any wound. By the way, thank you for saving me today." I murmured slowly, knowing all to well, how it would've turned if he wouldn't have come in time.

"It's my pleasure and duty to save my mate," Alexander said, as I felt his deep breathing on my neck.

"Wait, are you sniffing me?" I asked horrified when I realised what he was doing for the last few seconds.

"Mmm...your scent calms me." He said as he placed his left hand on my back before he brought me closer to his body.

"Yeah? Then smell all you want. I am free anyways." I said casually.

'Seriously? You horny girl! You just want him to keep hugging you, while he relaxes, no?' a voice boomed in my head.

Realising what I said just now, I coughed awkwardly,

"I meant to say, you can relax all you want because I am tired too. Let's go back later together, yeah, that's what I wanted to say." I said correcting my words.

Soon I heard his deep and sexy chuckle reverberating my whole body as we were still hugging.

"I know baby." He said before he hugged me more closer to himself.

Oh, how much I want this moment to last for eternity.
