When will I get my happy ever after ?

Chapter 5

Third persons POV

Marina wasn't afraid of death at this point.She wanted to welcome it with open arms but what scared her is the fact that she wasn't falling anymore.She had closed her eyes the second she jumped so she is very confused on why she hasn't reached ground yet.She was also scared that if she opened her eyes it will reveal that all that happened that day was only a dream and she would wake up on the cushion of the soft green grass of the meadow with a mate just waiting to meet her.She didn't want to gain hope again.Deep down she wanted this to be a dream though, but it felt too real to be something she made up in her imagination. She was terrified of the truth but she had to know it.

When she finally got the nerve to open up her eyes she was surprised to see she was in fact dangling from the cliff.This confused her even further. Why isn't she dead yet, she wondered, but then she felt it. Tingles? When she looked up she was met with the beautiful but distressed eyes of Oliver. Why did he save her? She was certain that her death would make his life so much easier. She wanted to die but she didn't want him to die with her.

She pleaded for him to let go of her and save himself but Oliver was determined to save them both. Now that he wants his mate, he wasn't going to sit back and watch her die. He knew that if they were just on the ledge he could pull himself and Marina up with no problem but they aren't on the ledge. He grabbed some random ridge on the cliff as soon as he got a hold of Marina. He was relieved to find out that the ridge he held on to was sturdy enough to hold both of their weights. They needed help and he knew that but pride was getting the best of him. He wanted to be the big hero that saved his mate without any help but he had to choose between his and his mates safety and his ego. With her plea to let her fall he made up is his mind. He mind linked his whole pack of his situation and they should get there any minute.

Minutes past and they both began to hear the the pounding of paws from above them. While Marina was freaking out Oliver was smiling with relief because he knew that it was his pack coming to save them. He didn't know how much longer he could hold on before he was forced to let go; but, thankfully they were saved before it came to that.

Marinas POV

When we were pulled up to safety I was being stared at by his pack. Most of them glared at me with disgust and anger and the others were just laughing at me. That's when I notice I'm still naked from when I shifted earlier.This is so embarrassing! Is this why Oliver saved me? He wanted to to embarrass me in front of his whole pack? I'll have him know that I've been embarrassed enough to last a life time and this doesn't even faze me.

Just as I was about to tell him off I notice him pulling up his shorts and grabbing a shirt and handing it to me. While I put it on he stood in front of me to hide me from all of his staring pack members even though they've already seen me nude. When I finished he turned around and picked me up bridal style with out a word and started walking in the opposite direction of my pack house.

"Um where are we going?" I asked him unsure.

"Home" he said without emotion.

"But my pack Is the other way" I say in a duh tone.

"You're not going back there!" he growled scrunching up his nose In disgust like me going home is the foulest idea known to man. I don't want to go home but I don't understand why he doesn't want me to go home. He's the one who rejected me!

"And why the heck not!" I ask getting mad.

"Because you are MINE! I won't tolerate the idea of anyone in that house touching what's mine!"he says gripping on to me tighter. That made me furious.

"Oh so now I'm yours?! You rejected me then slept with some whore! Just because you saved me doesn't mean I would be jumping in your arms begging for you to take me back. If that's what you wanted then drop me off at the nearest ledge so I can hurl myself off again because guess what I actually wanted to die! Your heroic actions were a waste and so if you think that your going to get appreciation from me then you'll be sulking right next to Pooh bear when he doesn't get his honey because your not hearing an apology from me! You should be the one apologizing to me! You are the reason I wanted to die in the first place. I can live with abuse but to know that even my mate couldn't stand to look at me was the last straw. I'm still the same girl you rejected so what's different? Why come save me? I have other ways to end my life and I don't need you butting in!"I tried my best to wiggle out of his grip but he only grips me tighter.

That's when I finally look in his eyes. His honey brown eyes hold so much sorrow and regret but what really caught my attention was the non stop flow of tears coming out of them. I almost feel guilty for saying all the things I said but I know that he deserved to hear every word.

"I am sorry Marina. I wasn't thinking clearly when I rejected you. Yes I cheated on you but I never slept with her I only kissed her. I know its cliche for me to say this but I thought of you the whole time. In my mind I was kissing you and I was yearning for your touch but it wasn't you. I was planning on having sex with Barbie but I never went through with it because it wasn't with the right person. I want my first and last time to be with you, my mate. I don't want to have sex with you, I want to make love with you but only when the time is right. All I could see was your flaws but what I didn't know is that I am more flawed than you are. I am a rude stuck up jerk of an alpha who's power got to his head. Your scars and bruises will heal but you are beautiful on the inside and that's what really matters. The only one that can fix me is you. I don't care about what the pack thinks of you anymore because they'll either learn to love you or they can go rouge. I don't care as long as I have you. If you throw yourself off a cliff again I won't hesitate to jump after you again because without you I'm dead anyways so what's the point of living. You are my life now and I will do what ever it takes for you to give me another chance." He said clutching me a little tighter. I had stopped trying to get out of his arms mid way into his speech. My mind was at a whirl.  

Should I really forgive him and give him another chance? He has hurt me so much already today; therefore, I don't know if I want to risk it again. He sounds sincere though...Plus he said he would die for me and I can't have that happen. I would be no better than everyone else if I let that happen.

"I'll come back with you to your pack and give you another chance but that doesn't mean I trust you yet. You'll have to work for that."I say with the most sincere smile I could muster.His smile; however, was the biggest smile I've ever seen on him. It wasn't a smirk and it wasn't one of those fake smiles you see in pictures. No. This smile was genuine.I just hope I made the right choice.
