Chapter 227 - What Do You Mean?
Victor blinked twice and slightly shook his head with a smile on his lips. "Oh, it's nothing. Just that, I can't help but notice your eating style." His eyes narrowed as he said, and her brows furrowed in confusion. "What do you mean?"
"Well, you're eating like a royal or should I say some classical women. I mean, the way you're handling the fork, knife, and all that." He shrugged as he replied and Selena instantly coughed violently as she choked on her food.
"Hey, you okay?" Victor, who was panic-stricken, grabbed a glass of water and handed it over to her, then gently rubbed her back to help her.
Selena gulped down the glass of water and took a deep breath after it subsided, then dropped the glass back. She used the white handkerchief to wipe away the tears that escaped her eyes, straightened up, and returned her attention to Victor.
She took a long, deep breath and helplessly pinched between her brows. She knew it was time.
"Victor..." She called him, and Victor raised his blue eyes to stare at her. "Is something wrong? Why the unhappy look on your face?" He inquired, a bit confused about her change in mood.
"I am not unhappy-" She shook her head. "- I just think that now is the time for me to tell you what I said I would tell you then." She half-smiled at him, and Victor nodded his head in realization. "Oh... okay. Go on then." He smiled as he fixed his gaze on her, and Selena nodded slightly before taking a deep breath.
"Um, have you ever... heard of supernatural beings?" She asked, and Victor spat out the wine he had taken as that question reminded him of someone. He cleaned his lips and raised his eyebrows at her in bewilderment. "What do you mean?"
"I mean... do you know about supernatural creatures?" She asked again, a bit reluctantly as she wasn't sure how all this would turn out.
"Um...yes, I do." He replied, his eyes intently gazing at her. "Why are you asking me about supernatural creatures?" He asked, a bit uneasy.
"Victor...um..." She paused reluctantly, as she wasn't sure how he would react to what she was about to tell him.
"Selena, are you hiding something from me?" He questioned, seeing the hesitant expression on her face.
Selena immediately swallowed hard and stood up from the chair, then moved to him and grabbed him by the hand. She pulled him up from the chair and gently planted a soft kiss on his lips. "I am one." She said it against his lips, and Victor instantly halted, unsure of what he just heard.
"What do you mean, "I am one?" I don't understand." He shook his head, clearly hoping that she was not trying to tell him what he was thinking.
Selena bit her lower lip and raised her gray eyes to stare into his blue ones. "Victor... I am not a human. I am a wolf princess."
"Fuck!!!" The moment the word exited her mouth, Victor yelled and snatched his hand from her, creating an instant distance from her. "Fuck! Fuck." He scratched his head in disbelief, and Selena walked up to him, turning him around so he would face her. "Victor, please let me explain."
"You lied to me!!! You fucking lied to me!" He stared at her with eyes that held deep hurt in them.
"No, no. That was not my intention. I couldn't tell you in the process because I was afraid you would never love m-" Before she could finish her words, Victor pushed her away from him and began to step back while ruffling through his hair in complete disbelief. "No Selena... this has to be a lie." He shook his head at her, hoping she would tell him it was a lie. However, Selena bit her lip and lowered her head.
"Fuck!!!" He yelled, deeply pained by her, and the next moment he raised his head, Selena flinched back, seeing the tears welling up in his eyes. "Why? Why did you lie to me?! " He asked in a cracked voice, and when he got no answer from her, he moved towards her, grabbing her harshly by the shoulder. "Why did you do this to me, Selena? Why did you make me fall in love with you? Just why?!"
"I have never fallen in love before... You were the first woman I fell in love with, and yet you lied to me! You fucking deceived me!" His grip on her shoulder tightened, and Selena hissed a bit in pain.
"Why? Why, Selena?!" He shouted in her face, and hot tears began to stream down Selena's cheek. "Victor, I am sorry for lying to you. I just couldn't tell you the truth then, because I knew you were going to react this way."
"React this way! Do you know how much I hate being lied to, especially by you?! Why did I ever fucking fall in love with you?!" He angrily pushed her away and furiously knocked the table down, scattering all the food on the ground.
He inhaled and exhaled deeply and shut his orifices for a few moments before opening them and staring at her with hatred in his eyes. "I will never forgive you, Selena. From today onwards, I don't ever want to see you near me or in front of me. Never!" He declared.
Selena immediately proceeded to explain to him, but he glared at her and stormed out of the area in deep rage. "Fuck it!!" He halted and pulled out a mini, black box of necklaces that he was going to give to her. He opened it and glanced at the golden pretty necklace, but as though his anger worsened, he furiously threw it away, then got into the car and drove off, leaving her there.
Selena's eyes blinked uncontrollably as she found herself unable to properly breathe.. She fell on her knees and clutched tightly onto her heart, then cried silently, with painful tears falling from her eyes.
