Chapter 97: The Prey

Oliver's POV

I could feel all of Victoria's pain and her disappointments with me and to her parents, and I couldn't blame her for being so angry with me. I wanted to comfort her and tell my girl everything would be alright, but how could she believe me when I kept her real identity a secret from her. She wasn't prepared for this, and I hated her parents too for doing this to Victoria.

How I wish I had disobeyed Nick and told Victoria what she was, but I couldn't do it because I made a vow to Nick never to tell her daughter unless she was on her transition period. Victoria was yelling in pain, and the struggle she was having now made my heart pierce in too much pain as I watched her in her agony; there was nothing I could do to help her, and what made her transition difficult was her anger towards us.

I could see the frustrations on her face when she asked me what was happening with her. It wasn't easy on my part to witness the love of my life undergo such anguish. I was there watching her every injury as she shifted into her magnificent wolf form. She doesn't know how beautiful she looks right now on her wolf form as I watched her pretending to be asleep.

I understand by every beating of her heart that she is still wide awake. I know the worse was over; she couldn't sleep because of the betrayal that we had done to her. I started to get worried when she stopped talking with me, and I didn't care if she would be yelling at me as long as Victoria spoke to me. Still, she turned her head away from me, and I wanted to hug her badly and feel her warm body with mine, but I broke her heart, and I didn't have any idea how to get away from this mess.

"Oliver, how is Victoria doing? Is her transition successful?" Nick asked from the other side, I knew Zafirah and Nicklaus had arrived, and they were outside, but I was too distracted to mind them; what matters to me now is the woman I love who hates me with all her heart.

"She looks so gorgeous, Nick, and her transformation was a success, but you made a wrong move, Nicklaus. Your daughter hated us, and it was now her second day, but she ignored her hunger. And I give her credit for being so strong and brave, but I don't want her to turn into a wild animal if she doesn't sate her starvation." I declared, and I could hear him release a heavy sigh.

"I know the consequences, son, but believe me, it was for the best. I know how Victoria cares about humanity, and ever since she was young, and I if we tell her who she is, it will only lead her to run away from who she is, and I don't want my daughter to end up in the wrong hands." Nick responded.

"I couldn't allow anyone to touch and have my daughter and used her for their gain. She is more than a werewolf, son." He said, and I wanted to ask Victoria's father what she was, but I knew it would be useless because he would never tell me about it, which made me more frustrated.

"Thank you, son, for being there for Victoria, and I could tell your love for my daughter will make her feel safe and secure." He added.

"Nick, I don't have to know how to make her forgive me for lying to her, and I think her anger overshadowed her love for me," I replied, and he chuckled.

"How could you be so naive, Oliver? Don't you know after her transformation, her love for you will become stronger than ever? And no matter how she tries her best to hate and forget you, she can never fight her own heart. Her longings to be with you will be her greatest battle." Nicklaus responded, and I never felt so relieved my entire life.

"That is what you've got for trying to evade fate; you don't show any interest in having a mate for a long time, and look at you now; you are having trouble understanding your mate. Be there for her, no matter how often she yells at you or tells you she doesn't love you anymore. You've got to believe me, Oliver; her words will never mean a thing because she is your fated mate." Nicklaus stated.

"Thank you, Nick; I thought I was going to lose your daughter," I said as I released a sigh of relief. And I hear my father-in-law laugh.

"Don't be silly, Oliver; you can feel it; it became stronger than before, your connection towards Victoria." He replied, and he was right; after my mate shifted, I wanted to leap and be with her on the bed and removed the chain.

"You have done a remarkable job, son, and I am so happy, and I know your father would be so proud of you like what I feel right now for you. I am so grateful to you for taking good care of our daughter. I give you my blessings to marry Victoria anytime you want." He declared, and I couldn't stop myself from smiling as I thought of having her as my wife.

"But I suggest you need to wait for her to calm down before you ask her to marry you if you don't want to be rejected, we both know how sensitive she is right now, don't worry, Oliver, I will tell Victoria everything she needs to know in the right time. Trust me, and you have a hell of a mate." He added.

Nick said goodbye to me, and I wanted to wake Victoria up from pretending to sleep, but I was sure she would never answer me. On the third day, I couldn't take it anymore, and I knew she could survive without eating anything. Still, I don't want her to become a ravenous beast if she doesn't satisfy her anger now, and it would become more dangerous for her, and if she encounters humans, there is a possibility that she will attack them because of her too much hunger for food.

And that is why I made another lie, and I told Victoria if she won't eat, she would never turn back to her human form. I felt so glad she bought it, and I will tell her the truth later and explain to her the possible outcome if she continues with her hunger strike, and I am sure she will understand.

And I was looking at her wolf form in the rearview mirror as I drove my car, and I was excited to bring her to my favorite place. I hope everything will be fine, and I already called Zane to clear the area for a possible human who is trekking or camping in the forest of Gallant near my place, and I couldn't wait to bring her home and introduce her to everyone.

I could tell she was shivering because of her hunger. The moment we reached the foot of the Gallant Mountain, I smiled when she jumped from the back seat of my car, and I could tell she was so eager to eat her first prey, but I knew she was yet to face another ordeal after she satisfies her cravings.

I guided her towards the center of the forest, and I could see her eyes looking for her target and ready to attack at any moment. I was aware her animal instinct was taking control of her body and mind because of how hungry she was.

When Victoria saw the deer in front of her, I felt relieved that I could see my girlfriend prepare herself to attack her prey. I didn't need to help her because, with one fluid motion, Victoria struck her target, and she bit the deer's neck, and she killed it instantly, and I could see how she devoured its flesh without reservation.

She was eating her heart out without darting a glance at me or her surroundings, and then when she got so full, she suddenly shifted back into her human form. Victoria covered her sensitive parts right away when she realized she was naked, and I quickly moved closer to her while I pulled out my white t-shirt, and I put it on her, and she was shivering and crying. And I pulled her closer to me, and I secured her in my arms.

"I killed the innocent deer, Oliver, and I am a murderer!" She said while she was punching my chest with her fists.

"No, you aren't a murderer, Victoria; it was only a deer, and it is your instinct to kill your prey when you are in your animal form. And in this forest, it is a natural occurrence among the beasts. There would always be a predator and prey in our ecosystem, and werewolves in wolf form will do it for survival purposes." I said as I tried to comfort her, and this was the first time my girlfriend allowed me to soothe her ever since she shifted.

"Even so, that deer is a living thing, and mercilessly killing it made me a wicked person. I don't have any right to kill an innocent animal; how much more to savage its body," She answered while her voice was trembling.

And even if she was crying, I couldn't stop myself from thinking my shirt looked good on her. I wiped the recesses of blood on her mouth, and she looked at me with so much pain on her face.

"No, Victoria, you are not wicked, don't worry, I will tell you everything," I mumbled, and I didn't know how to appease her.

"Oliver, how could you lie to me? Why did you allow me to suffer like this? I hate you so much, but I hate myself more because no matter how I wanted to stay away from you, I can't." She said, and I brushed the tears on her face with my fingers.

"I know, and I am sorry, Victoria, if I have it my way, I will tell you about it, but your father will not allow me to be with you if I didn't follow his order, and I can't stay away from you either because I am falling helplessly in love with you," I said. I wanted to add because she is my mate, but there is time for that; I will not add to her burden right now.

"I don't want to go home." She mumbled in more than a whisper.

"I know, don't worry, I will not take you home unless you are ready," I said, and she averted her gaze from me when she noticed that footsteps were coming on our way, and I could tell we had an unwanted guest.
