Victoria's pov

Just as expected, I woke up with a massive headache.

I groaned in agony as I attempted to get up, but the pain shot through my head ten folds at the slightest movement.

I noticed that I was alone, and it was already bright outside so I knew I must've been sleeping for a while. I searched for my phone on the night stand without moving my head, being met by a bottle of pills instead.

I mentally thanked Luka for being so considerate. I needed this.

Slowly getting up, I gulped down two pills with the water that was there, then gently laid back down until they took effect.

I noticed it was 12:30 in the afternoon, making me feel extra lazy for sleeping this long. I guess I deserved it though. I had a long night.

Some people forget everything that happened when they wake up the next morning. Me on the other hand, I remembered everything.

I remembered how I told Kera about them being wolves, I remembered going to Charlette's, I remembered almost outing Ashley's pregnancy and I remembered telling Luka about my dad.

Well screw my life.

I groaned as I pondered how he'll be taking it. I heard when he said we'll talk ,and he didn't sound angry. But maybe he didn't think it was rational to take out his rage on me when I was drunk.

Sighing, I dragged myself to the bathroom to shower and changed in comfortable clothes.

I was skeptical about going downstairs, just in case he's there; also, if he told everyone else they might be resentful towards me too. But I was starving.

I thought about staying in the room and asking Lincoln to bring me food, but a bigger part of me told me to face my fear.

I slowly crept down the stairs, not wanting to startle any angry wolf around. I entered the living room as quiet as possible, seeing Emma and Lincoln on their phones.

I knew everything with Lincoln was fine, but I wasn't sure about Emma, so I awkwardly stood to the side without saying anything.

"You're up early" Emma said with her eyes still glued to her phone. I silently cursed their sense of smell and hearing, but I knew they would've seen me eventually.

Lincoln finally looked from his phone as I made my way over to them. He offered me a toothy grin which I returned despite my uneasiness.

"Yea I was tired I guess" I fiddled with the end of my blouse without looking at her.

"You okay? " She asked. I made eye contact with her, seeing that her face held only concern.

Relief flooded me knowing she held nothing against me. It was either that Luka didn't say anything, or Lincoln was right.

"Yea I just need to see Luka. Is he here? " I asked as I glanced around as if he'd just appear.

"He left this morning, he didn't look too happy" Lincoln informed me, making me uneasy once again. I sighed, deciding to go get some food to drown my sorrows.

"Vic? "

"Hmm? " I stopped walking to look at Emma.

"I know you probably still don't feel well, but I left my laptop in the music room and I have some work I promised Ty I would finish for him. Can you go get it please? I'll make you something to eat in the meanwhile"

I simply smiled and nodded as I mounted the stairs. I knew she didn't like stairs so I figured why not. Besides, she's the one who kept me safe last night.

I stopped to catch my breath as I reached the third floor. I walked to the door or the music room, noticing that it was locked. That's weird, I thought with a shrug as I turned to leave.

But before I could head back down, something caught my attention. It was a single rose petal, but it wasn't alone.

More petals followed all the way down the hall, turning the corner and down the second hall, stopping right at the door that opened to the balcony.

I stopped when I registered what was happening, my heart rate increasing by the second. I slowly opened the door, immediately left in awe at the sight in front of me.

I was standing before a small table sitting on the balcony, filled with food and fruits of different kinds. The petals stopped right in front of the table, where the centerpiece was a cute white vase bundled with red roses.

The cutest thing though, was Luka with his head on the table, looking as if he was sleeping.
