VICTORIA'S POV
"Dear diary,
I know this is my first entry ever since the time I moved. Well, I've been trying to keep up and adjust to the norms here.
Tomorrow is my fourth day of university. I had never thought that I would be able to bear with it soo smoothly. Daniel and his friends have been keeping me company and have become is a good distraction for me.
They are great and I think I kind of like being around them. Today, they are going to throw a party to celebrate one of their friends coming back. I've decided to go to this party.
I know it would be my first party after 15 months. I am super nervous. I just hope I will be able to keep up my act.
Also, I think I am kinda liking this Daniel guy. He is super caring and attentive towards everyone. I like how he carries himself and would always find a way to take me out of my awkward situations.
Love
Vic."
After writing the entry in my diary, I stood up from my chair on the balcony to pick up the top I had left there to dry, and also to close the window, while I go to sleep now.
My balcony was west-facing, which meant towards the forest and thus, I have taken a liking to sit there and write.
Feeling a creep, as if someone was watching me, I looked back towards the forest, but the large and dense trees paired with darkness didn't allow me to see much further.
Maybe it was one of the hallucinations again. I'll have to stop Marla from telling me those weird stories.

Next morning.
Like the previous three days, I walked to the university.
Marla did try her best to talk me out of it and offer me her car, but I politely declined. Even Daniel and his friends had asked me numerous times to join them, but I think I am good at this.
Reaching the front of the university I saw a crowd forming around Daniel's friends. Deciding against the fact that it wasn't probably the best time to greet them, I started to move inside the university, when my idea was busted by Matt.
"Hey! Victoria! Over here!" He yelled while waving at me, and everyone turned to look towards me.
Smiling awkwardly, I started to move towards them.
Soon I saw everyone bidding their good-byes and leaving for their classes, apart from Daniel's group.
Reaching them, I think I saw the most handsome man in the world. Well, it appeared to me, momentarily.
Even though only his side profile and half of the face were visible, I could say that he was extremely handsome.
He was few inches taller than me and I almost had a nosebleed then and there.
Scrunching my eyes and nose at this weird feeling, I crossed my hands in defense, to control my thoughts and emotions.
As if sensing something, he stopped what he was doing and suddenly turned around to look towards me.
Caught in the act of sneaking glances, I stood there frozen for good seconds when my savior finally came to my aid.
"Alexander, this is Victoria I had told you about her. And Victoria this is the main member a.k.a head of our group, Alexander."
I nodded at him in the introduction and after giving a brief smile to Daniel and others, I left for the class. Though the guy was handsome and all, his stern gaze was creeping the hell out of me.
He looked like if he got a chance he would probably eat me alive. Was he thinking of murdering me?
"Hey! Wait up! We are also coming." Daniel and Aiden said as they both placed their hands on my shoulders.
"You guys are soo heavy. Get off of me." I mumbled.
"Hehe….yes we are. And you'll have to bear with it." Aiden said cheekily.
I don't know why I was having this constant feeling of someone staring at me and thus, I looked back but found no one.
Three lectures went in a blur, with me only thinking about that mysterious guy Alexander. Yes, he's been constantly on my mind since morning.
I get it, that he is handsome and all that stuff, but I was feeling weird with this newfound sensation of mine.
I don't know why I was feeling a strange sense of attraction towards him. I mean I have seen plenty of good men, but I never felt like this for anyone, not even for my favorite actor.
Spotting the empty chair beside Aiden and the creepy attractive Alexander not there, I heaved a sigh of relief before sitting beside him.
"Hey? You look zoned out today. Anything I can help you with? Are you thinking about today's party? Don't worry about it, you don't have to stress about it. We'll just gather around chat and have a little bit of fun, nothing overboard." Aiden said leaning closer to me.
I smiled at him genuinely before standing to excuse myself.
"Hey guys, I am gonna go and order myself something, do you guys want anything?" I asked.
"I'll go with you." Daniel immediately stood and his friends started whistling at this.
I know what they were implicating and I don't know why but I involuntarily blushed at that.
"Umm..okay," I said.
Before we could start moving, someone grabbed my hand and I felt electric shocks run down me. It felt like I was electrocuted for a good 2 seconds. But it felt soo good.
I looked up and saw none other than my new creepy attractive crush Alexander.
"I've got a few things to order too. Let's go." He said, not gazing into my eyes.
I nodded briefly before moving towards the counter, which was almost on the other side.
'Why am I letting someone else decide my emotions for me?' I thought of getting angry at my behavior before ordering two chocolate shakes with chocolate chips and two cheese sandwiches.
My tummy needs to be feed because he was upset that I let someone get better of me.
I took my things to an empty table because my seat on Daniel's table was occupied and I guess Daniel's too because he immediately sat on my left.
I looked at his order and I was truly amazed. There were 3 burgers, one medium-sized pizza, 2 overloaded pieces of cheese sandwiches, a banana shake, and a bowl full of noodles.
"You sure you can eat all of it? I mean I can accompany you if you can't." I said laughing at the end.
"No problem. Take whatever you want." He said before tugging my loose hair behind my ear.
I know my ears turned a bit red at this because I was feeling extremely warm.
Before I can react to it, Alexander came and sat beside me.
I looked at him questioningly.
"My seat over there is occupied." He stated the obvious in his velvety smooth voice.
Sensing my gaze at him, he turned towards me before smiling cutely.
I so wanted to pinch his cheeks or maybe bite them and suck them.
I shook my head shocked at the kind of thoughts I was having for a person I just met.
'Geez, Vic! What is wrong with you?' I wanted to shout at myself.
"So today's party, is it for you?" I started not liking the awkwardness.
"I am having a party? How come I don't know of it?" Alexander said looking at Daniel now.
Oops! Did I just spoil their surprise plan? I looked at Daniel apologetically.
"Alpha, I mean Alex, you know we wanted to have some fun and you coming back is just right for that purpose and thus we are celebrating." He said as a matter of fact, before smiling at me comfortingly.
"Will you come?" Alexander then asked me, his full attention on me now.
"I...I am thinking about it." I said not knowing where my confidence left.
"She'll come. I'll make her." Daniel said pinching my cheeks, before winking at me.
And I don't know if it was just me or what but I think I heard a loud growl coming from somewhere near me.
I almost spilled my chocolate shake at myself.
When I looked up after cleaning my mess, I saw both Daniel's and Alexander's seats empty.
I looked at their almost empty plates, and then I looked towards my plate that contained a slice of pizza and some noodles.
'Must be Daniel's doing.' I thought before digging in my food.
VICTORIA'S POVI looked towards my wardrobe and then at my bed at the mess that I've created.Currently, I was thinking about what to wear to this party, which I was invited to.Was I excited? No.However, due to some unknown reasons, I was feeling super nervous about this whole thing. I was not a nervous freak who would become nervous just because she was invited to a party.Maybe I was feeling this way because I haven't been to a party for more than a year and my friend from my home town wasn't here to give me some sassy girl motivation.Huffing in frustration, I decided to go with a washed denim thigh-length shorts with a white top and my favorite black jacket. Wearing my medium heel boots, I think I was ready to go after applying some lotion to my face.I didn't go with the makeup, because doing makeup wasn't my thing. For all I know, I might
ALEXANDER'S POVI met her today. My mate.It all began in the morning, inside the university.Everyone was happy because of my arrival and a huge crowd formed when I entered the gates of the university. My alpha-beta Daniel, Aiden, Sean, Matt and, their mates all were beside me. I was standing there talking with my friends about my not-so-good holidays, and that's when I smelled her. That same intoxicating scent that had been keeping me on edge for the last 3-4 days. The smell of whose trail, my wolf has been trying soo hard to find."Hey, Alexander, I forgot to tell you something. We have a new member in our group. Ummm... it's a human girl." Daniel said, immediately catching my attention."A human? Are you kidding me? Don't you know, that no human is to be involved in the group until and unless he/she is a mate of one of us." I asked utterly confused by his decision.
VICTORIA'S POV'Run!' That was the only thing going inside my head from the last 20 minutes or so since I woke up in this dark forest.Currently, I was standing in the same forest, in front of that same beautiful lake, that I had visited two days back.The only difference was the darkness.Everything around me was so dark and just black that I wasn't even able to pinpoint which way to go to reach back my home.Deciding that it was probably best that I wait for the sun to rise, I was sitting on this big rock, waiting for it to happen, while my mind was bugging me and telling me to run in any direction I could."Baby Vic?"I suddenly heard a whisper coming from a distance."Who's there?" I yelled back looking around me to locate the source of the voice. I turned to my right and saw some light coming fr
VICTORIA'S POVThe next day at university.Today I decided to wear an oversized hoodie that's covering more than half of my face to save my assI know what I did yesterday was a little bit exaggerated. I mean Daniel and his friends were so good to me these past days, even helping me get over my sadness unknowingly, and in return, I insulted the main member of their group, that they respected soo much, practically insulting them.Entering the University gate, the first thing that I noticed, was them standing in the parking lot, beside a red Bugatti.Pulling my hoodie down a bit, so that my face is covered properly I dashed towards the entrance of the university, with my eyes constantly on the group to make a sharp escape, however, my oh so genius plan as always, didn't work and before I could even take 10 steps, my hoodie was pulled back by someone."Geez! Look at you
VICTORIA'S POVWaking up early in the morning I decided to take a quick run to the lake, to enjoy its magnificent view.Since today was a Sunday, there was no hurry to going to university. I still had plenty of hours before Alexander would come and pick me for the day out.It's been quite a few days since we became friends, and let me be very honest with the fact, his friendship was the best feeling in the world.He had been taking care of me as a boyfriend, loving me as a friend, and was always there if I needed anything. After a lot of courage, I also told him about the death of my parents and the real reason why I was here.There had been times when things became heated between us, like when it comes to choosing between him or food, I'll always choose food and he would get angry over that, but to be very honest, I don't think I can choose anything over him anymore.
VICTORIA'S POVReaching the Carnival the first thing that I noticed was the large Ferris wheel and the huge roller coaster, making everyone scream in fear, wanting to ride it already."Let's go beautiful," Alexander said opening my door like a chivalrous man.'Huh? When did he even leave the car?'"Looks like chivalry isn't dead yet." I laughed along with him before exiting the car."Of course, my lady." He replied laughing along.Closing the car door behind me, he placed his hand at my back, just above my waist, leading me towards the entrance of the carnival, making pleasurable tingles run down my body."Uhh..can you not place your hand on my back like that? It's uncomfortable" I shyly said, while walking."I am sorry, I made you felt uncomfortable, it's just-" I had to cut him off in the middle, to not create any m
VICTORIA'S POV'Victoria? Victoria? Are you alright?Hey?' I faintly heard someone calling me, however, all I could see was pitch black darkness surrounding me.Soon I saw a light shimmer of hope when I saw a door like something lightening in the darkness. I didn't know what it was, but my mind was telling me to run through the door if I want to gain my consciousness back.Now that I see, my consciousness or should I say the lady inside my head has been getting more active these days, than anytime before, talking to me like she is a part of me now.I opened the door with a large force, my eyes immediately blinded with the bright white light, that felt like piercing my eyes.Opening my eyes slowly, I winced at the bright light of the sun, before looking at the person who was calling at me."Thankgod Victoria, you woke up. What happened? Just now, yo
VICTORIA'S POV"What? No obviously. I just thought that you wouldn't be interested in riding-" I wasn't even finished with my sentence when Alexander completed my words for me, "rides like these?""Well yeah. That." I awkwardly laughed, deep inside feeling thankful that I wasn't riding it alone or this would've made me feel bad the whole ride back home."Well now that I am here, you don't have to feel bad," Alexander said."Did I said that aloud?" I asked and his expression was telling me that I did, making me look another way in embarrassment."I don't ride, these things, but since it's you, I am riding it with, I thought of giving it a try. I heard people get mushy-mushy inside these when they are together." Alexander said winking while smiling at me with a knowing look.I don't know if he was really saying those words in a double-meaning way, but I felt like he was hinting at som
