Chapter 6 OLIVER

Chapter 6

OLIVER.

Winter is also when the Blue Moon realm is most vulnerable to humans and vampires, and even other wolf packs' attacks. So, the strongest men outside were required to come back home to help protect the realm and the packs.

Every August, when Oliver returns for the Winter, he would always bring something from either the human realm or the Vampire realm for Megan. There is hardly anything in the human realm that isn't in the wolf realm, but some things are unique to each realm. Things like cuisine and Art. What Megan loved to get from the human realm was their books. Unlike the books on Blue Moon, the human books are filled with wide imaginations. From reading their stories, one could see that over the centuries, the ordinary person has completely forgotten or never heard of the existence of werewolves and vampires. It is reflected in their fantasy stories. Megan found reading these blasphemies they call novels and storybooks.

Megan also loved their music. Soulful and empathetic. Then there are the movies. Especially the Romance-based ones. Among the wolves, the Moon mother already selected mates for each wolf. All you have to do is meet your mate and your happy family is set for life...or not. There are wolves who will never meet their mates, but it is believed that they never got to meet their mates not because the Moon mother didn't create one for them, but because their fates were jinxed either because of the death of one of them or distance. This is why when a mateless wolf gets to a certain age and he or she is convinced that their mate is not within their park, they are allowed to cross over to other parks with the permission of their park's Alpha.

Humans are not like this. They have no predestined mate. They have to fall in love and out of love several times to get a mate. Then, they can divorce the mate if things don't work out. Wolf couples might separate, but they never divorce. Once you are recognized as a couple among the wolves, you will be a couple for life.

On his last visit, Megan had given her father a list of books to get for her, and she was now hoping that the thing he got for her would be either everything on that list or at least some of the books.

"You know what to do to get what you want." He scolded her gently.

Megan's eyes shone at his words. She hurried round the large desk and jumped into Oliver's hands. Oliver was ready for the embrace and didn't hesitate to catch her frame in his large arms as he felt his bones relax. He held on to Megan tightly as the girl showered him with kisses.

"I love you, Dad. Welcome back home." Megan beamed after kissing Every part of his face, including his lips.

Even though wolves will not go as far as french kissing their kids, a kiss on the lips is considered a show of affection and love among nuclear family members. Since they are hardly in wolf form where they can get as much skin-ship as they want, - this level of skin-ship in human form is what they use in making up for that.

After his precious daughter finished giving him a dose of her love, Oliver held on to her for a long time. Father and daughter were silent and very content, breathing in each other's scent and recommitting it to memory.

Listening to her father's heart beat, Megan's will wavered again. But when she thought of how her father was actively looking for a good mate for her, she resolved her heart to carry on with her plans.

Since the mate Moon mother gave me doesn't want me, I will rather go with who wants me and not some wolf my father paid into taking me. Megan thought to herself.

"Dad." Megan began with her right hand's fingers, crossed where he couldn't see them.

"Hmm."

"I want to leave the pack after Winter."

Oliver's body stiffened. He was unable to say he didn't know what his daughter had been going through these past several months. It's been more than a year since her mate rejected his precious daughter. In these months, he had tried to get another wolf for her, but someone had maliciously spread the rumor that she wasn't a proper wolf.

Therefore, no matter how big the dowry he presented, he was always rejected. Oliver couldn't blame the other wolves who rejected his daughter. He was sure that if he was in their shoes, he would definitely do the same.

Megan was a wolf without a wolf's form. Despite everything they have tried, Megan was unable to transform into a proper wolf. Unlike other wolves who completely turn during the full moon, Megan would remain in her physical form with just her feet and her hands growing out with wolf claws while her eyes turn blue. No other part of her body changes. Even her face retains its human look. If not that Oliver trusted his late wife, Emmy, he would have doubted that Megan was his.

When Megan was eight, Her grandfather and members of the pack, had concluded that she was a bastard. To keep his daughter, who is a clone of his late wife, Oliver had reluctantly agreed to let the pack's shaman perform an ancient ritual on her. This ritual is a 'No-way-back' kind of ritual. If during the ritual, the child turned out to be a bastard or half human or half vampire, the child would be instantly killed by the Moon mother.

Megan survived, and everyone was forced to shut their mouths and mind their businesses.

As Megan grew older, Oliver watched as the mockery and bullying among her peers increased. He had wanted to take her away for a long time, but it was against pack rules. A wolf can only leave his or her pack after they turn 21 and yet couldn't find a mate. They can only go to a pack their pack leader approves of.

Megan would be 21 by Spring, so Oliver wasn't shocked when she said she wanted to leave the pack. But where would she go? The situation would be the same everywhere. The only place Megan can go and not have any problems was the human world. But there was no way their pack leader would agree to this.

What should I do? Oliver mused in bitterness.
