Chapter 133: Please trust me

Chapter 133: Please trust me

Lyra smiled and went out of the castle to give her parents some privacy. She knew about her mother’s anguish when she learned about her father’s disappearance.

Sighing she darted her eyes at the entrance and felt worried. Killian’s unusual behavior for the past few days made her nervous. Someone was controlling him but she didn’t know who it is.

Then another thought entered her mind. If it was really true that Killian was manipulated then were her other mates too? Victor came to her mind as soon as she deduced that possibility. Lyra knew well about Victor’s personality. He was stubborn but not irrational. His frantic mood for the past few weeks was shocking for her, but she guessed that it might be because he was just feeling insecure.

"Is it really because of that?" She murmured to herself. Feeling jealous was alright to some extent but Victor’s case was totally different. ’Why did I not think about this!?’ She scolded herself. ’He suffered for so many days without her awareness?’

She turned around and went back inside the rose castle. Her parents just curiously glanced at her as she hurriedly climbed the stone stairs and reached Victor’s room.

Lyra frantically searched the room but the room was empty. She thought about turning around and finding him outside the castle but halted in her place hearing a painful groan from the room.

Her eyes flickered and she carefully stepped inside and narrowed her eyes at the figure in the corner of the room.

"Victor?" She gently called him and widened her eyes looking at his unfocused silver eyes. He was staring right back at her but his eyes seemed lost and devoid of life.

Lyra’s heart thundered inside her chest as she made her way to him. She kneeled in front of him and stretched her hand caressing his face, "What is happening?" Her voice trembled as she continued, "Victor?"

He looked at her tear-filled eyes and clenched his fists, "Are you going to abandon me, sweet girl?" His pained voice broke her heart, "I-I feel scared...I think I’m returning to the days when I was abused by my father. For years I was traumatized by him and only when I killed him did I feel free. But it did not last long, because those days that I spent with my father plagued me in the form of nightmares. That is until I met you, You brought me out of that hell, and now are you going to throw me back in there?"

Lyra took a deep breath and parted her lips, "Why do you think I will abandon you?" She wanted to hear the reason for her mate’s insecurity at any cost today. Was she the problem? Did she not give enough attention to him? If it was true.....if he really thought that she didn’t love him enough then she would like to try her best from now on. It was fine as long as he felt secure enough to trust her.

"Tell me honey" she gently coaxed him, "What is your reason for not trusting me?"

"I trust you" he immediately replied, "Sweet girl you are everything I could ask for, please don’t think this is your fault" He felt horrible putting her in such a dilemma. It was not her fault.....Nothing was her fault, it was him getting worked upon because of his petty jealously against Blake.

"Then what is it that makes you so insecure? Victor, I will not know the problem until you speak to me" she said wiping away his tears. Lyra noticed him struggling to speak something. He tried to speak, she could see that but then held himself back as tears pooled in his eyes.

"Can I hug you?" She asked surprising him. He unconsciously nodded and she encircled her arms around his neck and stroked his head.

Victor relaxed his body against her and hugged her back. Her fragrance soothed his frantic mind and his emotions unknowingly got stabilized.

Lyra kissed the side of his head and opened her mouth after sensing him calming down, "Are you scared that I will leave you for my other mates?" He visibly flinched and her doubt got answered, "Who in particular makes you feel like that?"

He hesitated but answered after what felt like an eternity, "Blake"

Lyra was not surprised by this because she too felt that mentioning Blake as her everything in front of her other mates was wrong. During that time, she was overwhelmed with anxiousness regarding Blake’s safety that she blurted out whatever came to mind.

She has to admit that Blake was really her everything but so were her other mates. Blake is her first love and the father of her first children. Lyra felt obviously close to him but that did not mean that her love for others was any less. Polyandry was hard and she knew that from the beginning. But she did not wanted to bring out her old beliefs in this new world, so she tried her best to love all her mates equally but it seems that she made a mistake.

Victor felt more nervous as she remained silent without replying to anything. ’Was she silent because she indeed loved that snake more than him? Was she thinking that it was not necessary to explain because he did not matter as much as Blake?’ He couldn’t help but think about all these negative thoughts because of her silence. He smiled sadly and was going to pull away until he heard her voice.

"I’m sorry" she closed her eyes as tears streamed down her face, "I’m sorry for hurting you like this...Please give me a chance to fix my mistakes, Victor" her voice filled with desperation as she continued, "I-i cannot live without you, I love you"

Victor’s heart clenched hearing her wailing. Her sobs became louder and louder as she struggled to talk, "Hate me all you want, but please stay with me"

He hugged her tighter and sniffled, "I can never hate you, sweet girl.....I’m not capable of hating you. I promise that from now on I will never doubt your love for me. It’s fine even if you like Blake more but please don’t blame yourself"

Lyra pulled away from him and frowned, "Do you still think that I only love Blake?"

Victor avoided her eyes, "Well he is your first love after all"

She cupped his face and made him look in her eyes, "But you are my best love" his eyes widened as she continued, "I feel more at ease around you, I like spending my time with you, I want to give birth to our babies that resemble you...Ah they will be so naughty like you" he blushed hearing her words, "And when we become old and weak, I wish that I will meet my end before you. Because I can’t bear to go on living without you"

Tears trickled down his face hearing her next words. She smiled warmly at him and pecked his lips, "Your smiling face is the only face I wish to see for my entire life. So, throw ways those insecurities and let me love you, Victor" she stretched her pretty hands in front of him, "Take my hand, and please come out of that mind control"

He wrinkled his forehead in confusion and took her hand but in the next second, a searing headache assaulted him, "Ah!"

Victor looked at Lyra’s calm face and glanced at her palm engulfed in blue light, "What....?"

She hugged him and continued pouring her power into his body, "It will be over soon" she uttered making him confused, "Listen to what I say properly, honey. Someone is currently manipulating your thoughts by controlling your mind. I want you to fight it.....fight it for you and us. My power will soothe you, but it is up to you to come out of your mind control"

Victor was stunned by her words. ’He was being controlled? By whom? And why? Was that the reason for his unusual fluctuations in emotions? He wanted to tear apart the ones controlling him. Only he knew, how much it made him vulnerable. Not only that, but because of this, his mate had a tough time too. The Hell! She was pregnant! How could he do this to her during her most crucial moment? He suddenly remembered Noah’s mother’s words saying that his sweet girl’s pregnancy is complicated. ’Did he just make it even more difficult by overburdening her with his erratic feelings?’

Victor wanted to punch himself for his foolishness. As she said, he could sense her powers calming him down and he felt even more guilty. His mate never even thought about leaving him but he stupidly gave in to some petty jealousy. So what if she liked that snake more than him? He could just make her love him more in the coming days. He suddenly thought that he was far too intelligent to just give up. Victor also did not want to blame everything on mind control because it was also his fault for giving space for someone to manipulate him.
