You can't fight against them.

Victoria's POV

A knock on my door woke me up from my sleep.

I hissed in frustration and went for the door, I opened it and saw that it was Sonia.

"Woah girl, I've been knocking on that door for ages ".she murmured.

I roll my eyes and went back to the bed.

"Don't you have your keys ". I asked in annoyance.

"I forgot mine at home ".she muttered out those words and started pulling off her shoes.

I hissed softly and tried to go back to sleep,but Sonia wouldn't let me.

"Aren't you curious about where I spent the night ?" She asked 

"We will talk about that when I wake up from sleep but right now, I need to get some sleep ". I murmured those words and pull the blanket on me.

Sonia was about to say something when a knock came on the door.

"Are you expecting anyone".she asked, 

I shake my head and closed my eyes.

Sonia hissed and stood up from the bed and went to the door.

I could hear voices,but I wasn't paying attention to it.

"Hey Vicky, Eric's dad is here to see you ".hearing those words from Sonia ,sleep immediately left my eyes.

I jumped out of the bed and rushed to the bathroom.

"Please have a seat, sir". I could hear Sonia voice from the bathroom.

I washed my face and brushed my teeth before staring at myself in the mirror and let the bathroom.

I step into the room and saw Eric's father staring at me with a big smile on his face.

"Good day, sir ". I smiled at him and sat on the bed.

"Good day Vicky, how are you ".

"Very fine sir". I murmured.

"I'm going to get the stuff I told you about, I'll be back ". Sonia made that excuse and left the room.

"I'm a very straightforward person,so I will get to the point".he spoke firmly.

I nod my head and did not say a word.

"I know you already know who my son is ".he spoke firmly.

"How did you know". I asked confused.

"I read minds ".he smiled at me, 

"Oh ".was all I could say.

"You are Eric's mate, his soulmate and his other half ".he expressed those words like he meant every word of if.

"Eric is connected to you, so are you connected to him by the moon goddess ".he spoke firmly.

"The full moon is fast approaching and Eric will have to claim you as his mate on that day, and you should get prepared”

"What ?" I asked, confused.

He hissed softly before speaking up.

"I know all these are too hard for you to process, but with time you will get used to it".he assured me like he was so sure of it.

We sat there in silence for a while before I spoke up. 

"Is there a way I could no longer be his mate, maybe he can choose someone else". I asked 

"No".he shakes his head 

"He can decide to choose someone else, but you are his mate and will still be connected to him".he spoke firmly.

I hissed in frustration and look away.

"This is ridiculous because this guy hates me with real passion ". I murmured in anger.

"It's just for the time being, once he marks you as his mate all that will be over ".he expressed those words like he was so sure of it.

I hissed softly and roughly ran my fingers in my hair.

"Please think about it ".he pleaded and stood up from the couch.

"I believe Eric will get in touch with you very soon ".he moved closer to me and gently taps his hand on my head.

Take care of yourself". he muttered out those words and smiled at me before leaving the room.

I groaned in frustration and lay on the bed with my back.

How on Earth could I be a mate to Eric, of all people it the cold and heartless Eric who hates me with passion.

"He left so quick ". I head Sonia voice at the door.

I hissed softly and tried to close my eyes,, but I couldn't.

"What did he say ?". Sonia asked in curiosity.

I missed softly and stood up from the bed.

He said the full moon is coming and I have to be mated to Eric"I murmured.

"Really". Sonia asked in excitement, 

"Why are you excited". I asked in irritation.

"Because it's going to be exciting".she murmured

"If you are so excited about this why don't you take my place ". I asked while rolling my eyes in annoyance.

"I wish I can ".she chuckled and lay on the bed with her back.

"So what will you do?" She asked, 

"I don't know". I murmured 

"You know these people are really dangerous, and you can't run from them Vicky".she said those words in a serious tune.

I hissed in Frustration and took in a deep breath.

"I won't ". I murmured 

"You what ?" She asked in disbelief 

"I won't do it, I can't give a cold-hearted man my body just because of some silly ritual, and to make things worst, he hates me ". Saying those words I remember how he almost killed me in his father's house the other day 

"The father said he can choose a girl and make her his, then he should do it, and they should let me be ". I murmured 

Sonia hissed softly but did not sit a word.

"That will be up to him to decide, you can't decide that for him ". Sonia spoke firmly.

"That's bullshit, who made this law ". I spoke angrily

"Dose the government know about this ". I asked in anger.

Sonia chuckled loudly and stared at me with a mockery look.

"Do you want to report them or fight against them".she asked 

"Yes, if by doing that will make them leave me alone, then I will have to ". I murmured.

Sonia laughed loudly before speaking up 

"Let me make one thing clear to you Vicky, you can't fight against them ,and also you cant use the government to fight against them  because they are in top officials in the government"

"What the fuck ".
