When will I get my happy ever after ?

Chapter 15

Marina's POV

"Hey little sis, I am so glad to see you! We really miss you at home." I look at her in confusion. There is clearly more to this story. She couldn't have had a change of heart in just a couple of days. She has always been the master of deception. Its part of how she can get anyone she wants to sleep with her so easily. It doesn't matter if they have a mate or not. If Lily has her eyes set for a boy she is going to get him one way or another. It's a trait she had inherited from our mother over time. I realized years ago to not talk when she is talking even when getting spoken too. It's just easier that way.

"How is Oliver doing? Its been a while since I played around...I mean talked to him. He is H.O.T. hot. Completely opposite of you. You are so lucky the moon goddess brought you two together." okay... " Is he being the mate you waited your whole life for? Is he giving you all the love and attention you're so desperate to get?" Still waiting on the catch. "Or has he finally realized that you're a disgrace for a mate and is ready for a real woman like me to rock his world? Think about it, Do you really think you can run a pack? Your an omega. You will crack under the pressure." There it is!"Don't worry Marina, you always have a place in our home and we will welcome you back with open arms." Bull crap "And whenever Oliver is done with whatever he is using you for I'm sure he will come running back to me. So enjoy it while you have it because it won't last." She smirks. I heard a growl from the back of the classroom. I guess my mate has been eavesdropping.

I open my mouth to reply but as if on cue the teacher decides to start the lesson. It's okay though because I honestly don't know what I would say to her. She was the best sister I could have asked for when I was younger. I know she isn't completely gone. She just can't be gone. The girl I once knew is still in there somewhere. Even if it is deep deep deep deep DEEP inside her. There is still some hope...Right? She is still my sister. Even though I strongly dislike her at the moment...I don't hate her. The girl that she appears to be is just how she was taught to act. Kids mimic what they see grownups do and she definitely went off everything mother did. But she was naturally a sweet girl and that can't just completely go away.

But is she right? I was an omega in my last pack. Can I really not help run this pack. I know I have alpha blood in me but I haven't learned anything related the role of leading a pack. All I know how to do is cook, clean, and take a beating. None of that is luna worthy qualities. I wouldn't be able to do anything helpful for the pack. If anything I would be a target. I need help.

We need to talk. I texted Oliver where and when to meet and waited for the bell to ring and darted out of the classroom. Oliver stayed close behind but gave me some space. I kept my head down as I walked down the hallway out of habit avoiding eye contact with both old and new pack members as I rounded the corner to the cafeteria. It isn't lunch time so the café is empty except for the workers getting the food ready for the lunch rush. Looking down at his phone Oliver plops down at one of the tables expecting me to join. The world is going to pass by and he won't even realize it. I clear my throat to try and to get his attention but it still took him a second to pay me any attention. I can't help but wonder about what is so interesting about his phone that he has to have his nose in it all day. Oh well.

"Is this about what your sister said?" he asks guiding me to the seat in front of him. I shrugged not really giving him a straight forward answer.

"What do you want me to do in this pack?" I ask. He looked at me like I just asked a stupid question and answered. "Be my luna of course." I shook my head and continued "Yeah I know you want me to be luna but what responsibilities will I have?" he paused to think. "Uh stand by my side as I make important decisions. Be the face of the pack and provide me an heir." I don't like that. In my opinion a luna is supposed to be more than an image. She is a female alpha! She should be able to do everything the alpha does and more. I want to fight for my pack and be the strong luna they deserve. The only question is can I do it?

"Train me. Help me get stronger and teach me how to fight." I look at him ready to make a stand and get what I want no matter what it takes. This is not an option.

"Why do you need to know how to fight? Nobody is ever touching you again so you don't need to know any type of self defense. I want you to just relax and enjoy life baby. The way you were living in your old pack was a fight on its own. I don't want you to have to do anything like that again. You are safe and you are mine. You don't need to worry your pretty little head about anything."

I understand what he's coming from. And its sweet that he wants me to relax for the rest of my life considering that my life has been hell but its still not what I want.

"I'm tired of not having confidence in myself. I can do more. If I'm going to take on this role I need to know that I'm doing it to the best of my ability and just sitting around and watching everyone do all the hard work just isn't going to cut it for me." I pause to take a breath. This is the most I've talked in a while. "so will you train me?"

He looks to be having an inner turmoil within himself but once he exhaled and shook his head I knew I won this battle. I'm going to start training!
