When will I get my happy ever after ?

Chapter 10

Oliver's POV

'This is the place where it all happened.' is what came to my mind when I first stepped through the door. Marina endured more pain then I can ever imagine in this very home.

'A home is where you feel the safest and where you shouldn't be afraid to relax and be your true self. This is not a home, its merely just a house that's never blossomed into a home' recites Striker.

'when did you become such a poet?' I asked him 'The second I met her' and our conversation was over. The more I thought about it the more I knew he was right. Marina walked through this very door everyday scared of what may happen to her next. She was most like likely tortured in every part of this house. I'm loosing control over Striker more and more by the thought of what could have happened to her in the very spot I'm standing in. The stench in here isn't helping me much either. It just reminds me that this pack couldn't manage the upkeep of this house without her because she did everything for so long that they forgot how to do it themselves.

I am making a promise to myself right now. From this moment on, Marina will not have to lift a finger unless she wants to because in our pack she will be treated and protected like a princess. It will be my life mission to make up for all the normal moments that she's missed out on because of the man right in front of me.

Speaking of which has been talking this whole time and I haven't heard a single thing. I've been to busy controlling Striker;but, I occasionally nodded my head when I assumed he was talking to me. I did;however, tune in on just the right moment to hear him say,

"Well thanks for bringing my slave home to me but as you can see she has a lot of work to do." it became almost impossible for me to keep control. Marina defending herself helped calm us down but what he said next pushed us over our limit. "Of course, what else are you good for?" and that is when I blacked out. I wasn't in control of what was happening anymore but I did know that it could not be good. I don't care if I'm hurting Marinas father because it's obvious that he deserves everything that's coming to him.

I am afraid of two things however. One is a war that could soon be declared between our packs and two,the one I am most afraid of, is how Marina will react to all of this. Will she hate me for attacking her father? Will she fear me because she is seeing the violent side of me? I hope she trust me enough to know that I would never lay a hand on her. I can, unfortunately, understand why she wouldn't.

What snapped me out of my trance was loud screaming. Thankfully, Marina wasn't the source. I still don't have full control though and Striker isn't allowing me to see what's happening. It was then that I heard an angels voice, "Striker, I need you to give Oliver control again" Marina says, "I promise I will be alright just give it back to him." then I felt sparks ignite on my right shoulder, " please " she whispers slowly. Slowly but surely I gain back control and sight of what's happening around me.

What I saw was an unconscious and bloody alpha being held by a very scared luna. Lily, Xavier, John, and Mathew were in the doorway with both confusion and anger clouding all of their faces.

"Dude what's your problem!" screams John but before I was able to answer Lily had to cut in. "I know what this is about" she says while flipping her long silk like black hair off of her shoulder. Any guy would tell you that she was hot and I would be blind if I didn't recognize her beauty. She has silky ink black hair with clear skin and perfect complexion. Her eyes are a pale ice blue and she has an adorable button nose. At first look you would think that she has a baby face and seems cute and innocent but when she walks and you look at her body you will say otherwise. She walks to show off every curve she has and has gained a lot of male attention because of it. She had my attention when I first met her but I lost interest when she began to talk. Let's just say that she gets a lot of action in the lower region and not enough in the upper region. If you didn't understand what I meant then what I meant was she's a slut with no brain.

"You came to ask daddy if you could marry me and when he said no you fought for me!" she squealed and tried to run into my arms but my mate stopped her.

"You better back up or I swear to goddess that I'll do to you want Oliver just did to your 'Alpha'." Marina growls lowly.
Surprised isn't the word I would use to describe everyone's faces except for mine of course. I couldn't help but smile. 'our little mate is jealous' purrs Striker.

"And what gives you the right to speak to me like that?" asks Lily crossing her arms and sticking her hip out. "um no reason....." come on Marina, don't back down don't be afraid to say what you feel. "yeah I thought so, because we both know from experience who would win in a fight between the two of us." scoffs Lily. "Actually you know what...I'm tired. I'm tired of caring for people who are supposed to be my family when they haven't even shown one ounce of love for me. I never deserved how you treated me yet I never complained because I thought it would get better someday. I even came back here out of pure concern for my family and pack only to be insulted by them. So guess what I'm done! Flirting with my mate was the last straw! I won't come back here. I don't care if you are starving and need a meal because guess what? You would be experiencing how my regular day was. If I see you In school don't you dare try to talk to me nor my mate unless its a true heartfelt apology" she started walking closer to them and I swiftly followed. "because when you get beaten up everyday of your life you tend to pick up a few things. The only reason you beat me is because I never fought back, but next time don't expect to win because I'll be ready for you" she pauses "Let's go Oliver they're not worth our time" she says while walking out the door. Before I left I looked at their shocked faces and said, " if it wasn't obvious by now you the alliance between our packs is officially over. If any of you come near my mate then I will consider it as a declaration for war. I think we all know who would win" I say with a knowing smirk. My packs reputation for destruction in battle is very well known. It would be in there best interest to avoid it at all cost. Secret, I wouldn't mind wiping out there pack but I would never risk the casualties. I then left with a smile on my face thinking about how unbelievably proud I am of my mate.
