A Forbidden Love

Chapter 2

Oliver's POV:

When school got out, I ran to find Angela. I was so excited to tell my mom about her. But, I was a little nervous to tell dad. He doesn't really like humans. And he hates hunters, so this could be interesting. I just hoped that dad would let her stay. I couldn't let her live with her father. Not when I know what he does to her! When I found Angela, I gave her a small kiss on her cheek and told her I would talk to my dad when I got home. After we said goodbye, I ran all the way home. Forgetting about my dad's Beta Tom, who was going to pick me up. Yea, this is going to be an interesting conversation with my dad. When I walked inside the pack house, I could smell the delicious aroma of meatloaf. "Hello, Oliver. How was school?" my mom asked me when I entered the kitchen. "It was really good mom." I said. "Come on son, what are you not telling me?" My mom knows when there is something I haven't told her. She says it's because she's my mom and she knows me so well. Which is true I suppose. "Well, ok I'll tell you. Just sit down mom." I told her. She looked a little confused but, she did sit down. When she did, I told her I found my mate. Then she got emotional. She gets that way a lot. For example, when I shifted into my wolf for the first time, when I mind-linked for the first time, my every birthday, and ect. I love my mom, but trust me, sometimes, it gets annoying when she cries about everything happy. Like shifting! When she meets Angela, she's gonna break down-I know it. Well, at that moment my future beta Daniel walked in with his mate, who happens to be my little sister. "Hey mom! Guess what?" Rose said excitedly. Yesterday was her birthday, but she shifted a day late. And it just had to be at school! Of course, if she didn't, I might not have found my mate.. "I shifted! And, I found my mate! Daniel!" Rose's words interrupted my thoughts as mom burst into tears again and hugged my sister. "My two children, all grown up. I'm so happy for you both!" "Are you going to tell her what you shifted into?" I asked my sister. "What does he mean, Rose?" mom asked. "Well, I'm a fox. Like you." Rose told her. "I was going to wait to tell you that part until I told dad about my shifting, but I guess it's fine." she smiled. "Well, your father should be home soon. So I suggest you two go wash up. And if possible, perhaps do some homework." mom said wiping her eyes. My sister and I nodded and went upstairs with Daniel. He went with Rose into her room. Now, you may be wondering why I'm not jealous. Or why I'm letting him do that. Well, I am jealous-a little. I used to be the only man in her life besides father. I used to protect her, hang out with her, and everything! Now, she has her mate. But, I don't think our relationship will change that much just because she's found Daniel. And, I'm letting him go because he's her mate and my beta. Also my best friend. I doubt he'd do anything extreme. But for now, I'm just focusing on my mate. How do I free her from her horrible father?! If I don't figure something out soon, I might not have a mate! I was just worried about telling father. He is not one to welcome a human. He might if he was in a really good mood, I ask nicely, and tell him she's my mate. But, she's the daughter of a hunter! I don't think tonight is going to end well. You may want to know why I'm trusting her. Well, not all people grow up to be like their parents. Some, are different than their mother and father. Because they have some kind of positive influence in their life. And I can tell, that Angela is a kind, gentle girl. And I am excited to share my life with her. At dinner, I told my mom and dad who my mate really was. And, let's just say, I had a right to be scared before. My dad was furious! He commanded me that I reject my mate and just find some pretty wolf to be my luna. However, I take after my dad, meaning I'm just as stubborn as he is if not more so. But, as much as I wanted to defend my mate, I loved my mother and didn't want to leave her. I had no idea what I would do. And no, I didn't say I would reject her and find somebody else. I just left the table furious at my father. I guess I inherited my kind heart from my mother..Because I'm always willing to give others a chance. Even a rogue! My dad definitely does not like giving others a chance. I honestly think if it weren't for mom, our pack would be pretty weak. So, I'd say one of the reasons we are one of the strongest packs is because of my mother, Christy. I went to bed that night, really upset. I couldn't even sleep! "You idiot! Why didn't you stand up for our mate?!" my wolf was angry at me. I was mad at myself and didn't need this. "Look, Gray, I don't need this right now. I didn't say anything because..I was afraid and I didn't want to lose mother. You know as well as I do that father is still the Alpha and he could kick us out of the pack!" I told him. My wolf, Gray, remained silent the rest of the night. Though all that week, I couldn't sleep. I barely ate. Even my favorite food, pork ribs I couldn't eat. Part of it was that I didn't see Angela all that week. She wasn't at school. I didn't know where she was or what to do. I knew I was getting weaker every day, but I was just so worried and ashamed of myself. Finally, I just didn't have any strength to even get out of bed. I'd finally made myself sick with all my guilt and worries. "Oliver, don't worry. We'll find Angela. We'll bring her to you! I'm sure she's safe." my Gamma Max told me. Katy, his mate, nodded. "Just rest and get well. Everything will be fine!" She said. But, they didn't know what happened the night I told my dad that my mate was a human and daughter of a hunter. My wolf was right. I'm an idiot! How am I supposed to forgive myself? What am I supposed to do?! "Well, you could start by getting your strength back." my wolf declared. I hate it when he interrupts my thoughts. I just blocked him out and didn't bother to listen. Yes, I know that was stupid, but that's what I did. Finally, my mom had had enough of my self- pity. Yea, she knew something was wrong. Like I said, she knows when I don't tell her something. Well, she asked me what was wrong. And, weakly, I told her how I felt. Ashamed, guilty, stupid, afraid. All these emotions were locked up inside me for a week and a half. I hadn't eaten anything or slept. I just thought. "Oliver, sweetheart, you will never lose me. And you should have defended your mate. I was disappointed in you that day. But then, each day I could see something was eating at you from the inside, my son. I suppose I guessed right, that it was about your mate." my mother replied. I felt better after that conversation with my mother. And, I slowly regained my strength. But, I did something stupid. Again. I didn't stand up to my dad. I waited about two weeks. After two weeks had passed, I saw my mate again. On the streets, in the rain. Alone. She was so cold. I immediately ran over to her and picked her up. I took her home and hid her in my room. I took care of her secretly. Only mom, my Beta Daniel, my Gamma Max, Rose, and Katy knew she was there. When I was able to return to school, mother took care of her. When I was at training with Max and Daniel, Rose and Katy took over. But, I spent most of my time with her and hardly ever left her side when I could get away with it. I know what your thinking. Stand up to your pathetic excuse for a father and Alpha! Well, I finally did. But, it cost me my role as his son and future Alpha.
