The Alpha And His Beautiful Monster - Chapter 117

Oliver’s POV

I felt so happy when I saw Nick’s car on my driveway, and I felt relieved that Victoria was still lying on my arms, sleeping, and I could tell the evening breeze lulled her to sleep. She shouldn’t be aware that Nick and Zafirah are here because I am sure she is not yet ready to face her parents, but things are getting intense lately, and I could tell Nick could no longer hide the truth from his daughter, and he has no choice but tell Victory what she needed to know.

“Oliver, I hope whatever happens tonight, you will stay loyal to my daughter.” He said before he walked towards the direction of the library of my house, and I was dumbfounded by what Nick had said, and I wondered what kind of secrets Nicklaus had that he needed to ask me to remain loyal to my girlfriend.

“Hey, why do you look like shit, Oliver?” Zane asked when he found me in the living room waiting for my girlfriend and her parents to get out of the library.

“Well, I am sure you knew who’s here, and I felt so nervous because Victoria and her parents are not yet done talking. And I could tell Nick secrets could turn Victoria’s life upside down.” I replied.

“I could say he nailed it, Oliver, he kept Victoria’s identity a secret, and it was enough to make her world in shamble when she learned she is one of us.” My best friend said as I slumped my back on the sofa while I closed my eyes, and I felt so nervous.

“What makes me feel so afraid if Nicklaus will keep her daughter away from me,” I mumbled, and I felt him tap my shoulder.

“Oliver, no one can separate you from Victoria, she is your mate, your other half, and you need to think positive, and whatever happens, I will be here for you.” My best friend replied.

“Yes, Zane was right, Oliver besides no one can stop Victoria from loving you, and I think Nick will never do that to you and her beloved daughter, he trusted you to look after his daughter for so long now, and he needed you to keep her safe,” Trixie interjected with our conversation.

And when I opened my eyes, Trixie was smiling at me, and I suddenly felt relieved, and I set aside my worries until I saw Victoria walking towards me. She never took away her gaze from me while out of the corner of my eye, I saw her parents holding hands, looking so calm and at peace, and I realized their talk went well; and I quickly got up from my seat.

“Oliver, I hope it will not be a burden for you if we stay here at your place for at least three days to be with our daughter,” Nick said right away while I was still gazing at Victoria’s beautiful face.

“That would be lovely, Nicklaus, I know my house is not as big as your mansion or any of your vacation houses, but I hope you will enjoy your stay,” I responded as I looked at him as I felt Victoria take my hand.

“You are so humble, Oliver, you’ve got a lovely place, and I could say you have a taste, and I am sure my daughter loves this paradise.” Victoria’s dad replied, and I helped them with their luggage and showed them to the guest room while I left my girlfriend with Trixie and Zane. And I smiled as I realized my house suddenly turned lively.

“I am sorry if I didn’t tell you in advance, Oliver; this is unexpected,” Nick added.

“It would be okay, Nick; we are family,” I responded, and he widely grinned at me.

“Of course, we are; you are our son too, and thank you so much for keeping our daughter safe at all times.” He stated.

“If you have time later, I wish to have a drink with you,” he added, and I nodded my head.

“Yes, I have all the time for you, Nicklaus,” I responded.

I found Nick waiting for me on the roof deck of my house, it was almost midnight, and I couldn’t wait to be alone with Victoria. Still, I needed to have a word with her dad, and I would not let this night pass without knowing his secrets because I have all the right to know what is going in with my girlfriend’s life since he entrusted me to protect her.

I handed Nick his scotch on the rocks, and he took the glass from me while he was looking at me with a solemn expression on his face. Before I could ask him about what he was hiding from us, Nicklaus told me everything what I needed to know, and I could say his secrets were beyond what I could imagine, and it involved Victoria’s safety.

“How can we break the curse, Nicklaus? What if Victoria suddenly turned into a black wolf during a hunt with my pack members?” I asked, and he looked at me with sadness on his face.”

“We don’t know, Oliver; my wife tried everything she could, but her efforts were futile. I always turn a black wolf every time I shift. She was able to hide my black fur using her magic for years. Still, it seems like after Victoria turned eighteen, my wife’s fairy magic couldn’t help me anymore.” He replied.

“And I could feel that my wife’s magic was fading away, and this time we both realized we needed to go to a safer place, away from the werewolves.” He added.

“And that is the only way we can protect our daughter. We can’t risk it, Oliver, and I am sure the moment the council and the rest of the werewolves find out I am a black wolf, they will automatically assume I am the wicked beast who loved killing and taking innocent lives.” Nicklaus added.

“And you know what will happen next, and I can’t let anyone hurt my daughter, and I wanted to ask Victoria to come with us, but I am sure my daughter will never hide away from anyone because she always wanted to be in the limelight, and I felt guilty that she couldn’t have that kind of life as of the moment.” Nick continued.

“She needed to avoid going in public places unless she will learn to master her fairy magic, and I am just hoping she is more powerful than her mother, and I am wishing the prophecy was all true, but if she is not that powerful, then we don’t have a choice but to bring her with us.” He said and looked at me, and I felt horrified.

“You can’t do that, Nicklaus; you can’t hide Victoria away from me,” I said, scared to lose her.

“Relax, I am not hiding my daughter away from you, but if she doesn’t possess a strong fairy magic, she can’t defend herself, Oliver, and with so many enemies, you can’t protect her forever, so the best option is to run away to a safer place, and we can create our own pack, and you must come with us, what can you say, Oliver?” He declared, and it felt like Nick was telling me to give up my life, but I realized Victoria is my life now, and I knew I couldn’t live without her.

“But she was the one prophecies as the savior of humankind, and if she will hide, how can she fight the black wolf?” I asked, and I drank my scotch in one gulp, and I didn’t answer Nick because I didn’t know how to answer him, and he fell silent as he looked at me waiting for my answer, and things became more complicated than I thought.

“I don’t care about that damn prophecy; all I want is to keep my daughter safe, Oliver. And I know it was too much to ask you to give up everything for my daughter, and I am aware of what is in your heart right now; good night, son.” He said as he got up and he left me looking at the waves hitting the shore, and I never felt so lost my entire life.

“Hi, is everything alright?” Victoria asked right away the moment I got inside our room.”Yes, everything is perfect, and it feels like we are getting married because your parents and my close friends, which I considered my family, are here,” I responded as I beamed at her to mask the worries that I felt because I could feel the anxiousness on her voice.

I strode towards her and took her into my arms, and I smiled when I inhaled her heavenly scent that always drives me insane while her face blushed.”You can’t lie to me, Oliver, did my father tell you what I am?” She asked, and I slowly nodded my head, and her face fell.

“No wonder you looked like you were carrying the world on your shoulders, and I understand if you break up with me, I don’t want you to get hurt because of our family secrets. I love you so much that I want you to be safe always.” Victoria declared as she looked at me with too many emotions.

“Hey, I will never break up with you, Victoria. I love you more, and you know I will cross the ocean and fly the sky for you, and I am willing to do everything to protect and keep you safe.” I responded as I brought her closer to me.

“I admit, I was shocked when I learned your true identity, and I already expected you to be a hybrid, but I didn’t expect your mom is a fairy and not a witch, and no wonder your power is different,” I added.

“Are you sure you wanted to be with me even if I am a black wolf?” She asked, and I smiled as I looked at her beautiful face.

“I am more than one hundred percent sure, my love. I wanted to be with you until the day I died. And we will be together until our hair turns grey, and I wanted to have many children with you,” I whispered, and I could see how her face turned redder, and she looked so adorable as I looked at the lovely smile spread across her face.

“You don’t need to worry, Victoria, you are stronger than you thought, and I know you can figure out how to break the curse,” I said in more than a whisper.

“Oliver, I don’t want to give you false hope…” I didn’t let Victoria finish her words as I put my finger on her month.

“I know we can face the world even if our enemies hunt us. I am sure our love for each other will see us through,” I said before I claimed her sweet mouth, and we shared a passionate kiss. And we made love as if it was her first time, and she slept in my arms with a beautiful smile on her face.

I know she trusted me her life, and I will do everything I can so we can stay here together, and she doesn’t need to hide from everyone else because she is my mate, and I know she will become the strongest Luna ever born…
