Chapter 105: I Need To Lie

Victoria's POV

My gut was telling me I could trust the man standing in front of me, yet my mind was instructing me to run. I am new to this werewolf thing, and I don't know what I should do, and I am afraid if he had seen me devoured my meal for the day, and I am just thankful, I have already eaten, or else I could have attacked him already.

He looked intrigued, and the smile that I saw on his face was very comforting that I wanted to be in his arms. I could tell he was older than my father, and what fascinated me was he was wearing a suit early morning inside the forest, and I wondered if he could be Oliver's friend and if he was living on the other side of the mountain.

"Hello, my dear, how are you this morning?" He asked, and even his voice was soothing to my ears.

"Who are you?" I asked him with apprehension in my voice.

"Oh, I am sorry, I forgot my manners; I am Noel, and I am one of Oliver's friends. Welcome to Gallant, Victoria," Noel responded with a wide grin on his face.

"How did you know my name?" I inquired, and his smile broadened, and I've got so curious why he knew my name when I only arrived yesterday, and I hadn't seen anyone, and Carrie was the only person who knew I was here.

"Words travel fast in this place; besides, I know you, Victoria, and I am one of your father's acquaintances, and I am also aware you are my boy's girlfriend." He said, and my eyes got so big.

"Oliver told me his parents are dead, don't tell me he was lying to me?" I asked, and his laughter echoed the entire place, and I could see the amusement in his face.

"No, he wasn't lying at all; I considered him as my son, Victoria; he is so dear to me, and that is why I always referred to him as my boy." He responded, and I could see the love on his face for Oliver.

"Ever since his father died, he became my son, even if we are not related by blood, and he respected me as his father." He added.

"You know his secrets?" I asked like a little girl so eager to hear his answer.

"Of course, my dear, and you don't need to be afraid of me because I am also one of the beasts in Gallant, and I love raw meat, Victoria, when I am on my wolf form." He declared, and his confession made me walk closer to him.

"Are you sure you are one of us?" I asked, still unable to believe I would meet someone like us.

"Why would I know Oliver is a werewolf if I am not a wolf?" He asked, and this time he communicated to me through his mind to prove his point, and I relaxed for the first time, and I lowered my guard down.

"That's it, you need to trust me, and I am excited to know you more, Victoria, I have seen your pictures, but those images don't give you justice; you are more beautiful in person." He said, and I could tell I blushed.

"Thank you," I replied.

"And even if I don't see your photos, I am sure I will still recognize you because you looked like your mother now in her teens, and you even got her sweet voice, and no wonder our Alpha fell in love with you." He declared, and just thinking about the previous night with Oliver made me flush.

"If you want to learn more about our kind, don't hesitate to ask me questions, Victoria, I would be glad to be at your service," he added.

"I have so many questions that I don't even know where to start," I replied, and he laughed.

"Of course, you didn't have any idea who you are until recently, but I am so proud of you. I could tell you are trying your best to accept the reality that you a werewolf." He said.

"To be honest, I don't want to be like this; I want to stay human forever, and how I wished everything that happened to me was only a dream," I stated.

"If that would be the case, you also wanted to forget about Oliver? If what happened to you was merely a dream, then you will no longer see Oliver because he belonged into this world, Victoria, and I know how much you care about him." He said, and I fell silent, and he was right.

I couldn't imagine my life now without Oliver, and the only way to be with him is to live in his world and be with him. How I wished Oliver was only a human so things would not be complicated like these. My world turned upside down when I learned I was a werewolf, and almost all the things I believed that matter in this world seemed to lose their meaning.

"Is Oliver have a higher rank than you?" I suddenly asked because I didn't want to continue talking about how I felt for Oliver.

"Of course, Victoria, he is the Alpha of our pack, and it means he is our king. His words will always be final, and we will always listen to him, but when he was younger, I always punished him every time he committed a mistake." He said, and my eyes widened.

"You did? Is he a bad boy growing up?" I asked, amused, and I suddenly wanted to know everything about Oliver, including his childhood.

"He is not a bad boy, he wanted to protect the weak, and Oliver ended up beating the bullies at his school, and that is why humans thought he was a bad boy, even if his father was still alive; I had always been his second father. And his dad trusted and gave me all the right to discipline his son, and I ended up giving him punishment every time he didn't follow the rules." He answered.

"What was he like when he was a kid?" I asked, and he grinned at me.

"He has always been charming, Victoria, and many girls liked him even if he was a young boy because he was so tall for his age, and when your boyfriend shifted for the first time, he wanted to devour a lion or a tiger." He said, and I couldn't stop feeling so shocked, and I laughed.

"Yeah, everybody in his age group would talk about eating deer and rabbit on their first hunt, but he was so different from them," Noel added, and I could see how much he adores Oliver, and I couldn't deny I love my hot boyfriend more than I can imagine.

I was talking with Noel, and I admit he helped me feel better, and the nauseous feeling I had after eating the rabbits faded as I listened to his stories about Oliver's life. And right now, I wanted to see Oliver as a child.

When I felt Oliver's strong presence, I couldn't stop the racing of my heart, and I know I always feel this way every time he is near, and the moment he looked at me, I couldn't stop myself from feeling so guilty that I left without waking him up. I could tell right away that he was close with Noel, they talked to each other casually, and I could see the affection on Noel's face every time he looked at Oliver.

I felt so delighted when Oliver invited Noel to have breakfast with us because I can't deny I liked him, and the way he talked with me feels like he was only talking with his daughter.

Oliver held my hand as we headed back to his house, and I could feel the electricity travel from my fingertips down to my spine. I felt so hot all over my body, and ever since I shifted, I could feel that my feelings for Oliver intensified, and just thinking about losing him terrified me. 

And I know from now on I need to try my best to accept who I am to give Oliver peace of mind. I know it will never be easy on my part to accept everything with open arms and mind, but Noel's words lingered on my mind, and he was right; I couldn't imagine living my life without Oliver by my side.

"Hey, do you want to join us in the dining room?" Oliver asked me the moment we got inside his house.

"Yes, but I need to take a bath first," I said, and he gave me a quick peck on the lips, which made me feel so conscious because I know I reeked with rabbit's blood, but my boyfriend doesn't mind at all.

"See you in a while, Victoria," He mumbled, and I nodded my head at him, and I excused myself from them. I made my way to the grand staircase, feeling a little better, and the moment I opened my bedroom, I could hear the ringing of my phone; and my heart sank when I saw Lana's name on the screen.

I felt so guilty because I had received so many missed calls from her after my eighteenth birthday. For three days, I didn't get the chance to open my phone because I was in my wolf form, and Oliver made sure that my phone had enough battery even if he didn't answer any of Lana's calls.

I swiped my phone to answer her call because Lana is my best friend, and I know she needed me so much after what happened to her, and I couldn't stop feeling so sad that I could no longer be there for her, and I was speechless as I listened to her voice.

"Victoria, I know you are there listening to me; please don't hang up on me. I am aware you are upset that I didn't attend your birthday party, but not answering your phone and my messages were torture; I am sorry, I know I promised to be with you on your most awaited day, but I bailed on you because of what happened to Tim. I know you have all the right to hate me." She declared, and I could hear the worries in her voice, and I realized I missed my best friend so much.

"How could you leave me without saying goodbye? I don't deserve this, Victoria, I came to your house, and Celia told me she didn't have any idea when you would be coming back; I don't even know where you are, you used to tell me if you will go on a trip with your parents, and Oliver was absent for two days now, I don't know what happened why you suddenly left, and I felt so guilty. I hate it when you are angry with me." She added.

I don't know how to tell Lana about me, and I am not sure if it would be safe to say to her what I am; she is my best friend, and I don't want to hide anything from her, but I know I need to lie to my best friend for the first time for the sake of our friendship because I can't tell her I am a wolf because I know she will hate me forever.. I did the most unbelievable thing since I was not ready to speak with her yet; I ended the call without saying anything to my best friend as my tears fell down on my cheeks.
