My Personal Lycan King novel Chapter 76

VICTORIA'S POV

"Robert, you love me? Are you sure about that? What you feel towards me is not love, it's an obsession. Love is not about getting what you want. It's not about snatching the person you love from someone else and keeping her by your side. Love is a spiritual, blissful, and pure feeling. When you love someone, you find happiness in what that person loves.

If you would've loved me, then you wouldn't have tried to snatch me away from Alexander. You would've come to me, talk to me, and tell me about your feelings first before you thought of harming everyone.

You said you love me? Then what this destruction is for? You loved your family too, didn't you? So where is your love now? How can you hurt them just like this?" I asked, trying to incite the good in him and stop this bloodshed.

"How can I hurt them? You are asking me that Victoria? Have you forgotten, it was you who had told me to take revenge. It was you who had told me to pay them with tenfold of pain. It was you who had taught me tit for tat. It was you who gave me hopes that there was something I can look forward to. That I can get back what was mine by hook or by crook. How can you be so cruel to me now that I am on the verge of winning this battle? How can you?" Robert shouted, making me shudder as a little bit of fear crept inside me temporarily when I looked into his menacing crazy eyes.

I felt scared, impatient, and angry. I was scared because I couldn't feel Alexander near me anymore. I was impatient because this new turn of events was stopping me from going and check up on Alexander. I was angry because Carla wants to kill Robert but my conscience who always thought of him as my first friend was getting in the way of doing that. 

I wanted to hurt him when he said he deliberately took Alexander away from me, however, the determination to get him back on the right track was enough to keep me going. 

He was my first friend that I had made after almost risking my life, and I had bowed to him to maintain this friendship forever. I was not a coward to break my promise, I know I won't be able to bear with the pain and resentment, and thus, the only choice I was left with was getting him back.

"Robert, when I told you all those things, I didn't know the other side of the story. What they did is still wrong, there is no doubt in that." I said, holding his face in between my palms as I forced him to look into my eyes.

"But, do you really think that they never loved you? That Rosaline never treated you like her own child? That Theodore never trained you like Alexander? Just because I said those things to you, you agreed to it? You say you loved your family, but what are you doing? This is what you are doing just because they committed a mistake? 

There is no hate if there is no love. If you hate them, then that means you still love them somewhere. You are just hurt because of what they did. Theodore insulted you, but didn't you also tried to kill him?

Is this your so-called love? 

You say you love me. If someone comes someday and due to some misunderstanding I treat you badly, you'll do the same with me, no?" I asked, forcing him to look back at me when I saw him diverting his gaze from me.

"This is not about that Victoria. I would never do that to you." He said while he pulled me more close to him.

Carla was getting impatient because of this chit-chat, but I knew I need to do this if I want to save so many lives.
