A different scent

Victoria's POV

''This is the like the tenth times he has been calling you, and you don't want to pick.'' Sonia muttered those words when she noticed I was refusing to pick up DOM Tim's call,  

I released a soft breath and ran my hands on my body to warm myself from the cold I was having. 

The blinking of my phone got my attention, I picked up my phone and read through the message  

'' Are you okay.'' he texted  

By the look of the text he has been sending me it was obvious he was genuinely worried about me. 

I kept back the phone on the bed, I can't speak to him, if I pick up his call he will notice something is definitely wrong, and I don't want to tell him right now. 

The ringing of my phone got my attention, I went for the call and noticed it was Eric calling, quickly I ended the call with anger. 

''Who was that.'' Sonia asked while going for my phone, she checked the caller and knew it was Eric calling. 

''Why don't you pick up his call and hear what he has to say.''  

''He has nothing to say to me.'' I barked out in anger,  

''You are just being unfair to Eric, he hasn't done anything wrong to you.'' I did not let those words finished for her mouth before I cut her off,  

''Really??'' I asked in disbelief 

''This guy hates me, he wished I never showed up in his life, he almost killed me on two occasions and here you are saying I'm being unfair to him.'' I shook my head in disbelief to her words  

The phone rang again and this time she handed the phone over to me  

''pick up his call and hear what he has to say.'' she muttered those words as a plead  

I sighed and took the phone from Sonia and placed the phone on my ear. 

''Why are you calling.'' I barked in anger,  

The line was silent for a while before he spoke up,  

''I just wanted to check on you.'' He spoke those words almost like a whisper, different from the Eric I knew,  

''I'm fine, can I end the call.'' I did not wait for his answer before I ended the call and threw the phone on the bed  

''That wasn't right, who knows you might be carrying his child'' 

''I'm not carrying his child.'' I yelled out 

The thought of carrying his child brought an uncomfortable feeling in my chest and a cold shiver through my body  

''So you've given the baby to DOM Tim, a man you know nothing about?''  

''I'm not giving the baby to anyone.'' I replied and stood up from the bed,  

''So what are you going to about this.'' Sonia asked,  

''I don't know.'" I ignored her and took out a bottle of water from the fridge and drank all at once. 

I heard my phone ringing but did not bother to pick it up because I knew it was either DOM Tim or Eric calling, and I wasn't ready to speak with either of them. 

I went back to the bed and laid on it with Sonia's curious eyes on me, she was angry with me and I don't blame her for it. 

A soft knock got my attention, quickly I stood up from the bed and rushed to the bathroom. I could hear Sonia murmuring words before she stood up from the bed and went for the door,  

I could hear voices but couldn't tell who it was. 

Within a minute, I heard footsteps walking towards the direction of the bathroom,  

''Come out, Kelvin is here to see you ''. 

Hearing those words from Sonia, I sighed in relief and opened the door of the bathroom. 

Sonia gave me an irritated look before walking away. 

I took in a deep breath and calm down my nerves before opening the door of the room  

''Hey Vicky.'' he smiled at me  

''Hey Kelvin, I never knew you were coming '”. I tried speaking in a calm voice, so he won't notice my mood, but he did  

''Are you okay?you look sick.'" he asked while staring at me with curious eyes. 

I realized he was trying to meet with my eyes, but I quickly looked away because I noticed the color of his eyes changing,  

''I'm just under the weather.'' I lied and moved away from him,  

He kept quiet for a while before he spoke up  

''Can we go out for a cup of coffee ?'' 

I thought for a while and wanted to reject the offer, but I thought it would be good to go out and get some fresh air  

''Sure, give me a minute.'' I beamed at him before closing the door  

I approached my closed, brought out a simple wear and kept it on the bed  

''Are you going somewhere?'' Sonia asked when she noticed me pulling off my clothes.  

''I'm going out to take some fresh air with Kelvin'' 

''Is Kelvin also in the picture.'' she asked while rolling her eyes at me  

''I beg your pardon.'' I frantically asked,  

She rolled her eyes and looked away. 

I shook off the words she said to me and picked up my bag before leaving the house  

I went outside and saw Kelvin standing in front of his car. 

I smiled at him and walked up to him, he opened the car and I went in. 

I'm few minutes we were in a coffee shop sited before each other  

''You are worried, what's wrong.'' he expressed those words like he was so sure about it  

Hearing those words from him, I smiled at him and took a sip of my coffee while looking away  

''It's nothing.'' I flashed him a weak smile, but I knew he did not believe me,  

''Can I ask you a question ''. 

''Yeah, sure '' 

I thought of a way to bring up the topic before speaking up 

''Are you friends with DOM Tim.'' I asked in curiosity, at least I can get few information about DOM Tim from Kelvin. 

He stared at me for a while with a curious look before taking a sip of his drink 

''We are good friends only in the club.'' he murmured  

I sighed and shook my head disappointed at his word. 

''Is something wrong.'' 

''No, everything is fine.'' I murmured nervously and looked away. 

He stared at me for a while in disbelief before speaking up  

''Did he do anything to you .?'' he asked while locking eyes with me  

''No, I'm just curious to know more about him.'' I flashed him a weak smile, and looked away. 

I noticed Kelvin murmuring words I couldn't understand while his gaze was at the door of the coffee shop,  

''Are you okay.'' I asked while looking at the direction of the door. 

He nodded his head to me with his gaze still fixed at the door. 

I stared at the door and noticed a familiar man standing by the door while his gaze was on us. 

I took a better look at him and realized he was kelvin's mate,  

He met eyes with me and I could notice the color of his eyes changing as he walked towards us. 

He got to our table, and kept on staring at me with so much anger in him, and he wasn't hiding it. 

''You are in the country.'' he muttered those words calmly to Kelvin, but I could notice the anger in his voice  

''I came in last night, have a seat.'' he brought out a chair for the younger man, but he groaned angrily and sightly kicked away the chair  

''I have somewhere to go, I just perceived your scent and decided to come check if it was really you.'' 

''I have to go.'' He stared at me with a killer look before walking away. 

''He likes you.'' I murmured those words as I watch him angrily walked away  

Kelvin chuckled softly and shook his head in disbelief before speaking up  

''That can't be true, he has already rejected not once or twice.''  

''Maybe he likes you now because I can see how jealous he was, seeing us together.'' 

''I wish you were right, but you are wrong Vicky, he doesn't like me his wolf is just controlling him ''.he murmured sadly, this was the second time I'm seeing Kelvin this sad whenever he talks about his mate. 

Not wanting to further the discussion I nodded my head at him and took a sip of my coffee  

''You are keeping a secret from me, what's that.'' he muttered those words while staring into my eyes with his piercing eyes. 

''Why do you think so ?'' I chuckled nervously and looked away. 

He stared at me with disbelief but did not say a word,  

I remembered the discussion we were having before his mate came in. 

''Do you know his real name ?'' I asked  

''Who ?'' He lowered his eyebrows, confused. 

''DOM Tim ''. I murmured. 

He shook his head before speaking up  

''It's the rule of the club, we don't expose each other identity, I'm sorry Vicky I can't tell who Tim is, even if I want to.'' he muttered those words in a serious tune.

Hearing those words from him, I knew I could never get any information from him, angrily I stood up and picked up my bag.  

''I need to go home, can you please take me home.'' I did not let those words finished from my mouth before I left the coffee shop.

I went outside the coffee shop and was about walking away when I noticed Kelvin calling out my name, angrily I turned around to face him 

''Let me drop you home.'' he took hold of my hand and took me to the car, we got in, and he drove off 

''I wish I can tell you Tim's identity, but I can't.'' he muttered those words like was begging me.

Hearing those words I sighed softly and looked outside the window in disappointment, maybe I'll just have to wait until next week when he promised to tell me his identity.

After a few minutes we were in front of my apartment, I came out of the car and noticed Eric standing by my door with a furious look on his face.

He stared at me for a while like he was trying to pierce through my soul before he moved his gaze to Kelvin.

Staring at Kelvin, aI noticed the color of his eyes changing, and I knew something was wrong 

"I'll call you later.''  Kelvin whispered those words into my ear before entering his car.

I stared at Eric, who stared back at me with anger as I approached my door.

Eric's POV 

Seeing her with Kelvin I was jealous, really jealous to the fact they were too close, too close for my liking.

''What are you doing here.'' she muttered those words while staring at me with so much anger and hatred towards me, 

''What were you doing with him ?'' I asked, jealous, 

She chuckled softly and clapped her both hands together before speaking up.

''I hold you no explanation with what I do with my life.'' she went for the door, opened it and tried closing it against me, but I held the door and pushed myself inside the room before locking the door 

''And what is the meaning of this ?'' she frantically asked 

''What were you doing with Kelvin.'' I yelled out jealous 

'"Like I said, it's none of your business.'' she barked at me

''Leave.'' she pointed the door angrily at me 

''You are my mate and I have every right to you.'' I yelled out 

"Never, I have nothing to do with you, you've gotten what you wanted from me, now leave.'' she pointed the door angrily at me, but I did not move an inch 

''Eric.'' she angrily called out my name 

seeing her behave this way it was obvious she really hates me now, and I wondered how I could make the hatred she has for me gone.

"I'm your mate, we can't separate from each other.'' I declared those words and moved closer to her when her words stopped me.

''I can never be your mate Eric, I'll prefer to be with Kelvin than be with someone as heartless as you. ''

Hearing those words from her, I took hold of her and forcefully hit her back on the wall, she exclaims in pain and tried setting herself free but my grip on her were too tight 

''What did you say.'' I asked again, this time staring at her with so much anger and jealousy in me 

''Are you deaf, I said I will prefer to be with someone like Kelvin than to be with a heartless person like you.'' she barked those words to me with no atom of fear in her

hearing those words from her, I noticed my wolf howling in anger and jealousy, and it took everything in me to keep my wolf at bay.

I groaned loudly and closed my eyes in order to control the anger in me before opening them.

I met eyes with her and noticed she was staring at me with a terrified look 

''let me go.'' she gulped nervously and tried releasing herself from my grip, but I tightened my grip on her, 

I stared at her and was about saying something when I noticed goosebumps all over my body and an uncomfortable feeling Bloom in my chest.

I moved closer to her and noticed an overpowering scent in her, this scent was different from her scent. Because she smells like fresh honey,, but this scent was that of honey mixed with nutmeg.

I moved closer to her neck and inhaled the scent deeply, indeed it was a fascinating scent and I wondered why she was having a different scent.

''Stay away from me''. She yelled in fear 

I moved my nose from her neck and stared directly into her eyes before speaking up 

''You smell different, why?'' 

Hearing those words from me, I noticed her eyes widen in fear as she swallowed nervously 

''Where you with another man.'' I asked, 

She swallowed nervously and moved her gaze from me.

Seeing her react this way I knew I was right, she was with another man, different from me 

''Who is he.'' I took hold of her arms and shook her angrily

''You were with another man, I can smell him all over you, was it Kelvin are you sleeping with kelvin.'' I demanded in anger 

''What.'' she spoke angrily 

''Answer me did you sleep with Kelvin as well, are you that cheap.'' I did not know when that left my mouth.

Before I knew what was happening I felt a hot slap on my cheek, 

I touched my cheek before staring at Victoria, shocked and confused.

''Get out.'' she yelled in half tears 

seeing those tears from her, I realized I have made a huge mistake and this time nothing can be done.

"I'm sorry '' I tried holding her, but she moved away from me with anger and hatred boiling in her.

''Leave before I do something that you and I will live to regret.'' she muttered those words as a threat.
