I cried out in apology, feeling terrible for everything I had made her and I go through.
It's ok. She said in a calming manner, "It's not your fault that you were a cowardly idiot.
Although I was deeply offended, I also realized that what she was saying was accurate. I've never advocated for either myself or us. She occasionally attempted to exert control over me so that she could defend us, but I always resisted her advances and put up with the beatings.

I am aware that she found it difficult. We both have experienced a lot, as I am sure you have. Both of us have wounds and bruises.
Thanks to my mending talents, we might not physically show the wounds we felt on the inside. I was aware that no amount of strength could heal us; instead, we had to work together to overcome this. Hopefully, we succeed.

She muttered with a sigh, "Our mate is a dick."
pout.
"I know," I said with a sad sigh.
He doesn't want us, but his wolf, Jax, wants; I can feel that. She groaned, "His wolf made him take us with him; that's why he brought us here."
I attempted to convince her that we didn't require him.
"We do require him! Our partner and another half, he is. She asserted that one could not exist without the other.
I replied, "I understand that, but I don't want you to get your hopes up only to have them dashed." She grimaced and let out a long, drawn-out sigh.
'Alana, just know that I love you," I added with a sincere grin.⁷
I love you too, Marina," she said with a smile before retreating to her cover, where I assumed she would mope.
She wasn't as upset with me now, which made me a little happier. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to use the facilities. After taking a shower, I quickly changed into the clothing I had brought with me because I desperately needed one.
I put on sweatpants and an oversized shirt. As soon as I lifted my head to the kitchen yesterday to eat something, that annoying bitch sidetracked me, and my stomach began to rumble.
A sandwich that had been produced previously was being examined in the bag when

abominable sandwich
"Hey, a debate.
"Maybe days, yes", the placement tray responded.
It still had an excellent flavour.
To her.
"She chuckled, "You're such a youngster.
I'm a kid. "I stood up for myself.
How old are you?
"18," I told her, and she widened a little.
Rather young. 25" when she said
I stared at her while she said this.
You look too young, no way.
"good genetics. Now, eat. "She chuckled. She answered, and I couldn't help but chuckle.
I consumed my meal as we engaged in idle conversation. I was talking to her openly about myself, excluding the part where I was the target of my pack's abuse. My responses were largely ambiguous. I didn't want anyone here to know what I endured at my previous collection.
Maybe she'd talk openly about such things one day, but not today. I completed my breakfast, and then we both went into town. Yes, I continue to receive strange looks from everyone, but I don't care. Most likely, their only motive was to find out who the new female was.
After exploring, we decided to have some beverages and sat on a park seat next to a fountain. When something or rather someone attracted my attention in the distance, I was sitting next to her, giggling and making jokes.
My blood grew chilly as I got a better look at the individual. I threw my cup to the ground and momentarily turned my head away.
Are you alright? Sophia enquired out of worry.
Just as I turned to look in the direction I had seen the individual earlier, they had vanished. It had to have been in my head.
That person couldn't possibly be natural.
Looking at her, he replied, "I'm OK.
I gave it one last look in the direction I thought I saw the person, and sure enough, there he was, waving and walking away with a grin.
Oh no.
Marina enquired
She shook my shoulder and inquired, "What's wrong?"
I got up and said, "No-nothing."
I said, not looking at her, "I'm not feeling good.
"OK. She advised that we return to the pack house as she stood up.
All I could think about was the individual I saw as we travelled back to the pack house. Ray was here, but why? I knew deep down in my heart that he was there for me, but I also wanted to think that he was there for some other. As soon as I entered the pack house, I tried to run out of there more than anything. A group of familiar boys stood in the foyer talking to Luna. To be more specific, they were flirting with her.
Their eyes shifted away from her and onto me as soon as the door shut behind me. I backed away from their homicidal glares as I gulped in terror.
"Marina, we have searched everywhere for you. Father has been quite worried since you left. Benjamin approached and hugged me.
Brotherly embrace.
He hugged me tightly as I awkwardly stood up. I had no idea what was happening or whether I was somewhere else. There was no way this could be happening in real life. No way in hell. He backed away from me while putting on a false smile.
He smiled and said through the mind link, "You are so fucking dead."
I gasped in terror as my wolf clawed frantically to break the surface. I tried to calm her down since I didn't want to start another argument.
"What's going on here?" I overheard a serious voice.
Voice query Those words. All day long, I could listen to him chat.
It's not your business. I'm only here for my sister, said Benjamin.
As the scene unfolded in front of them, some onlookers released startled gasps. I also felt shocked. How could he speak to pack members as though he owned the place, considering that this wasn't his pack or anything?
Now that I think about it, I haven't seen that alpha since I arrived here, which was strange. I would have assumed the alpha would have shown up by this point, but I didn't see him anywhere. Not that I was genuinely aware of his appearance.
Benjamin and Ryan quickly drew closer to one other before Ryan grabbed Benjamin by the neck.
Do you know to whom you are speaking, mutt? Benjamin was hoisted off the ground by his neck as Ryan spat at him.
Benjamin attempted to pry his hands off as his grasp only seemed to get tighter. I entered since Benjamin's face was red, and I thought he might kill him. Even though he's a total jerk and has harmed me more times than I care to remember, I couldn't watch as he killed the man.
When I nudged them apart, I was shocked that they both took off in different directions. I noticed a golden glow when I looked at my hands. I tried to calm myself down by taking a deep breath and closing my eyes before doing something I would later regret.
I saw everyone staring at me when I opened my eyes. I'm unsure if it was because of the mate bond, but my feet immediately drew me over to him. I knelt by his side to see how he was doing.
"So sorry again. Are you OK?" I inquired while scanning him to make sure he wasn't wounded.
He was positioned on the floor with his back against the wall. When he drew his hand back from rubbing the back of his head
There was blood all over.
"Dear God! I'm sorry. Let me repair this if you will," I began, but I was interrupted.
"Therefore, you came to see whether I was OK rather than being more concerned about a total stranger. For fuck's sake, he nearly killed me. Behind me, Benjamin jerked.
After hearing a snarl, Ryan quickly rose to his feet and prepared to strike. In preparation for possible self-defence, Benjamin stood with his companions while they scowled at Ryan.
I yelled, "Stop," and moved in between them.
"Nobody gives me instructions. Ryan growled, signalling that he was engaged in combat with his wolf by the change in colour of his eyes from blue to gold.
You'd better pay attention to Marina, remarked Benjamin.
Why was he unable to remain silent?
It shook the pack house with a thunderous snarl. As I observed Ryan transform into his enormous brown wolf, my eyes widened in horror and shock. He snapped at Benjamin with a growl and sprung into action.
I pleaded with him as I stepped in front of him and tried to block his way with my arms.
I wanted his wolf to pay attention to me even though I knew he could easily ignore me. He growled once more, but I remained steadfast. Before leaving the room in his wolf form, he shot Benjamin one more hostile glance.
He returned immediately wearing shorts that were far too short. His very noticeable v-line and well-defined abs caught my attention, making me feel something. There was a more pressing matter at hand; this wasn't the time to daydream about him.
"Why are you here, Benjamin?" I questioned as I approached him.
