Chapter 31: The Truth

Oliver's POV

I know because of my damn pride, I am suffering right now, and I couldn't even get near to Victoria even if I wanted to because I know I hurt her feelings not only once but so many times. The truth is I don't want to hurt her, but I couldn't stop myself because of the realization that I had feelings for her; I tried to hide and fight everything that I felt for Victoria.

But right now, that Declan was in the Academy, I could no longer hold my jealousy. I need to have her trust, and of course, her heart. Even if I already know that she is my mate, her reluctance to have me is so apparent, even if I could feel her feelings for me through the kisses we shared together, and I am afraid if she will fall in love with the wrong guy, and it may be too late, but I need to make her mine.

"What's up, Oliver?" Zane asked the moment he answered my call.

"I like her, Zane, and the alpha of the Intrepid pack is here," I said right away, and I could tell my best friend was speechless.

"Don't tell me I told you so, because I know I was wrong to fight the elders; I should have found time to listen to them and followed what my heart wants, but I ended up hurting her feelings over and over again, and this time I don't even know how to convince her that I am the right person for her," I said, and I could no longer hide my worries.

"Don't sweat about it, buddy; Victoria is crazy about you, what you are feeling right now, she can feel it too, but because of what you did to her, I am sure she will never show her true emotions for you," Zane responded.

"And you know, Victoria will never accept defeat, and that is her personality, and that is the reason why she was predicted to be the strongest Luna, and that is why many came for her. Just make sure to mark her before other Alpha from another pack will do it to her." Zane said, and I released a heavy sigh.

"I think I am losing her to Declan," I answered, and my best friend laughed.

"I couldn't believe for the first time I will find you unsure about something, come on, buddy, you will have Victoria; all you have to do is stop making her upset, show her the real you, Oliver." He replied.

"And I am sure Declan was showing his fake self, and there is no way he will be gentle with her. You know him, buddy, when he is around, everything will be in chaos, and he could be a danger for Victoria's well-being." He added.

"Yeah, I know; that is why I needed you here, Zane," I said.

"You know me, and I can't enroll as a senior student, Oliver; I have a wife." He said, and I nodded my head even if he couldn't see me.

"Besides, I am running your company for you, Oliver." He added.

"Of course, thanks for the advice anyway," I said, and I ended the call after I said my goodbye to him, and I walked towards the cafeteria, and before I could walk inside, I found Keisha blocking the door, and her arms are crossed over her chest.

"Oliver, you can't just shun me away without explanation." She hissed.

"Keisha, I already told you, I am sorry, we can't be together," I responded, and I could see the pain on her face.

"If we can't be together, it is fine by me; all I want from you is an honest answer." She said.

"Are you sure you want to know the real reason, Keisha?" I asked, and she bravely nodded her head.

"At least I know where I stand in your life, and I want you to learn I am falling in love with you, Oliver." She said, and I closed my eyes since I didn't come here to the academy to break hearts; I am only here because of Victoria.

"I am sorry, Keisha, I don't feel anything towards you," I said in more than a whisper since I didn't want anyone to hear our conversation, and I could see the sadness on her beautiful face as her tears fell on her cheeks.

"Is it because of Victoria?" She asked, and I nodded my head, and this time I realized I didn't want to hide my true feelings for Victoria anymore, and I wanted everybody to know I would love to claim her as mine.

"She will pay for this," She retorted, and I don't have a choice but to do the right thing.

"Don't ever hurt her, Keisha; I will be here to protect Victoria. If you care about me, please stop what you are thinking. Don't ever lay a finger on Victoria, or else you will answer to me." I said as I tried to sound calm, and I knew she would get back at me by hurting the girl I liked.

"You can't dictate me what to do, Oliver, you don't have any idea how much you hurt me, and do you think I am afraid of you? You have no balls, Oliver, and I am sure that bitch will never like you. Can't you see how much she flirted with Declan?" She asked, and I suddenly feel hot all over my body, and I know I need to contain my jealousy in front of Keisha.

"No, she is not flirting with him," I responded, and she laughed.

"Oliver, you are also new into this Academy, and you don't know anything about Victoria Winner; she is a bitch who wants nothing from any boys, he loves playing with their hearts, and I could tell you are not an exemption." She said, and she was giving me a sinister smile.

"For the first time, she showed interest with a guy by volunteering herself to show Declan around campus; she didn't give you the same treatment, so it is obvious she likes him and not you. Good luck, Oliver, and don't ever beg me to have you back because I will never accept you again." She said and got inside the cafeteria without taking a second look at me.

I felt so relieved that I didn't need to avoid Keisha anymore since it was now finally over between us, and I didn't want to add to her injury if I told her, I didn't feel anything towards her, and I couldn't tell her I was only using her. And when I looked around, many girls were waving their hands at me, and when I gave them a weak smile, they all giggled.

I turned around and left the cafeteria in haste, hoping I could take a glimpse of Victoria's beautiful face. Still, as I searched under the trees, I found her best friend alone, and I realized she was with Victoria since I could see her things.

"Hey, can I join you?" I asked, and I could see Lana's face turned crimson.

"Sure," She replied, and I squatted on the grass across from her.

"Where is Victoria?" I asked, and I could tell she was avoiding my gaze.

"She was with Declan." She responded, and I could feel the pang on my chest, and I realized I needed to act now before it would be too late.

"Can I bring her things?" I asked as we both got up from the ground since it was almost time for our first period in the afternoon, and I know the idea of retaking classes was boring, but since I could see Victoria, I found it exciting and fun, but right now I know my heart is on the line.

Lana was silent the entire walk going to our classroom. As I settled myself next to Victoria's seat, I couldn't stop myself from feeling frustrated that Victoria and Declan were not yet around, and my heart skipped a beat when I raised my head and found her looking in my direction. I realized Victoria's face would always take my breath away. She is gorgeous and so hot that I couldn't stop staring at her beautiful face.

I know she can feel the attraction, but because I hurt her so many times, she tried her best to bury her true feelings for me, and as she sat beside me, I wanted to take her into my arms right away and claim her luscious mouth, but I could see she was glaring at me.

I know I need to control myself, and I didn't expect to hurt her again by accusing her of flirting with Declan. I saw how her face turned so red because of her anger towards me, and I couldn't take it anymore; I needed to show Victoria the real me; I didn't need to hide my feelings for her anymore.

I could tell she was surprised when I asked her to have a date with me, but she couldn't deny it; she loved the idea of us dating, and I tried to hide the smile on my face as I stood up and left her side, and I could tell she was blushing and I am sure it was because of her excitement.

And before I could take a seat, I could feel someone behind me, and just on time, Declan was throwing punches at me that made our classmates shocked, and I know he was strong, but I didn't want Victoria to hate me, so instead of fighting back, I allowed him to hit me so many times. I am a wolf, after all, and it doesn't faze me, but in the eyes of our classmates, I could tell they thought I was weak, but I was doing this for Victoria.

"Why aren't you fighting me, Oliver?" I know I pissed Declan when I didn't fight back, and a smile appeared on my lips when Victoria came to my side immediately. It made Declan angrier that he lunged at me, and he almost hit Victoria's face, and it was enough to awaken me. This time I curled my fist on his collar, and I carried him and pushed his body on the wall, and I heard our classmate gasp.

"I don't want to fight you, Declan, but you almost hit Victoria. I don't even know why you are so angry with me." I said as I pushed him hard on the back wall that I could hear the cracking of his bones, but I knew he would heal himself.

"Victoria is mine, Oliver." He hissed, and this time I hit his gut, and I could hear him grunting in pain while I could feel the taste of blood on my mouth, and I realized he had injured my face.

"In your dreams, Declan, I will never allow you even to touch Victoria, you are violent, and you didn't even care if you will hurt her as long as you can hit my pretty face, Victoria is not a toy, Declan, she is a beautiful young woman, and you can't just claim her as your own," I said. I could no longer control my anger, and even if he was big and strong, I was able to pin him into the wall, and I only released him from my hold when our teacher shouted and asked us to go to the guidance counselor's office.

I smiled even if I could feel the pain on my face, and Declan relaxed as he walked towards the door, and I was following behind him. Before I could finally get out of our classroom, I darted a glance at Victoria, and I could see the fear and worries in her eyes.. I gave her one of my sweetest smiles and winked at her before I walked out without taking a second look, and I felt so happy that I let everyone know I liked Victoria Winner.
