Chapter 33

Marissa’s POV

2 Weeks Later

I guess what everyone back home wants to hear is that I want to come home, that I hate it here. Well half of that is true, this place isn’t really for me but I don’t absolutely hate it. I do miss everyone back home but I have made two friends, possibly the only people I really like here. I keep thinking about Zane though, I'm not sure whether to forgive him and move on with our lives together when I get back or be stubborn with it.

Does he even regret it? But I guess I shouldn’t even be thinking about that yet. I’ve been here for two weeks opposed to two years.

“Marissa!” I heard Paris whine. He was one of the two people I actually like here. He was friendly and he knows my story. I didn’t want anything holding me back so I told him. He’s funny and protective, he’s a good fighter and he can relate to what I have going on. his mate rejected him too but the difference is that he moved on and he doesn’t care about her anymore.

“Oh come on it’s not that hard, figure it out yourself” I waved him off. We were in my room studying right now, we had some sort of defense test in a few days and this was something Paris just didn’t get.

“But what does it mean?” he asked again.

“What does what mean?” I asked giving into him so I can just get on with my own work.

“What do you mean what does what mean?” he asked back

“What?” I asked, now confused.

“I don’t know anymore” he said. suddenly we both bursted out laughing.

“I think we’ve been studying for a little too long” he said in-between laughs.

“I agree, let’s go and get something to eat” I stood up and closed my books. This place was actually really big and it had a campus, which was good. In a way it was kind of like a collage. But instead our classes were mostly about how to defeat our opponent.

“Oh yea I figured I should mention this to you. Me and Sarah were talking a couple days ago and we were talking about this legend that graduated from here, his name was John and I remember you saying something about John from here. Is he the same person?” Paris asked. I winced a little, memories of home coming back to me. I didn’t really want to think about it much, I never really talked to john again after I was told I would be getting shipped off here.

“Uh I don’t know, I don’t remember his last name” I admitted.

“Oh well the famous John is coming here today to demonstrate in one of our classes. It’s kind of a special visit” He shrugged and said. He was clearly excited for it but I was praying to god it wasn’t the same John that I knew. He was still there when I left and it’s just going to be plain awkward.

“What class anyway?” I asked as we sat down at one of the tables in a restaurant.

“The offensive one in like an hour” He mumbled while looking at the menu.

“Oh” I mumbled. I picked up my menu and looked through it, trying to distract myself from the thought of home.

Zane’s POV

Two weeks without her was the absolute the worst. I don’t think I'm going to get closure until I can see her again, which will be on the next holiday or something when she’s actually aloud to come home or we’re aloud to visit her. I find myself always wishing I had said nothing to my dad that day, I wish that I stuck by her side and then maybe we wouldn’t have been in this situation right now.

Her ex Alex is over here a lot because of his new mate Laura. Cassidy has been a growing problem, she is convinced that since Marissa is out of the picture she gets me for keeps. But I'm growing tired of her. Why did I ever want her over my mate anyway?

“Zane” I heard my name being called from outside my room. I groaned in annoyance, couldn’t anyone simply wallow in my own pity for a little?

“What” I answered back. a second later the door opened to reveal my father. I hadn’t talked to him much in the last two weeks, only when I was forced too. I partly blamed him for this, he took my mate away and he was planning to the whole time. He should have let her get out of it and maybe if I stuck by her side then she would still be here right now.

“Zane this is madness! She is gone, get over it and get your life back on track. So god sakes it’s been two weeks and your still depressed” my father threw his hands up in the air as if he couldn’t believe why I was behaving like this.

“When you lose mom then you will feel what I am right now. you took my mate away from me dad and I don’t know if she’s ever going to forgive me for this” I seethed.

“Oh yea about that, when she was leaving I tried to talk to her and she mentioned something about you and another girl. How she won’t be leading beside you and how some other girl will be. Something you want to tell me about?” he asked. I hated that he knew all of my business especially when it was none of his business, he was acting like he cared when I knew he didn’t give a damn about any of it.

“She has this crazy idea that I’m going to go and find someone else and things won’t be the same when she returns” I explained to him. Maybe he will start feeling guilty of his action and realise this was a foolish decision. It went against everything an alpha was supposed to do. he made his son unhappy, made the pack sad and made someone go against their will.

“Well then maybe you should, there’s no use waiting for what you will never get” my dad said simply. I got up off of my bed in anger and stared him in the eyes.

“She was my mate; I don’t want anyone but her. No one can ever take her place. You did this to me, to us. You only helped yourself when you shipped her off and you hurt everyone else. “ I then pushed him out of my room and slammed the door in his face. All of that made me realise on thing. I needed to get Marissa back. I knew where she was and I loved her, why am I not there?

I could go there and try to get her to come back with me; if my father didn’t allow it then we would leave the pack. She is eighteen now and is allowed to make her own decisions. This was probably the best idea I’ve had all week.

I walked down the stairs to go and find my dad, I barged right into his office too see him standing directly in front of John. I ignored John’s presence for a second and said my peace.

“I need to go to that training academy”

“Zane” my father trailed off into a sigh. I could see the guilt on his face, I think he was finally realises what he had really done. “John is going there tomorrow so why don’t you catch a flight with him. He is there for three days, you have three days to take care of whatever it is with Marissa and then you will be coming back with him ok?” my dad looked at me softly for the first time in two weeks and I felt a smile come onto my face. He was giving me a chance now. “I understand Marissa is important to you and you could lose her but I am only giving you three days. And when you come back I expect you to be back to normal” he commanded. I nodded with a huge grin on my face. Three days was more than enough.

“Can I bring her back with me?” I asked with a voice laced in hope.

“The school has already enrolled her for the year so she cannot leave till next year but… I guess I could enroll you there too. it would do good for your alpha training and all and you would get to be with Marissa” my dad trailed off again. Well wasn’t he just full of great ideas today.

“I don’t care I’ll do whatever it takes” I exclaimed, when he gave me a disapproving look I then blurted out “I mean this will benefit the pack a lot” I rushed out.

“It’s ok Zane, I see what I’ve really done to you and Marissa and I'm sorry.” My father said, he looked genuinely sad and I managed to give him a small smile. At least he realised his mistakes before it was too late. I'm going to go and get Marissa back, she has to accept me. This is now our time to be together and I will have her. I will enroll in that academy if I have too. being away from her only showed my how much I needed her.

Alex’s POV

I sat with my arms around Laura while we watched a movie. This girl was so innocent, so hurt, so broken, and so beautiful. I can’t believe I was lucky enough to get a mate when I'm human. Although I still think of Marissa every day I know I'm happy with Laura. I was going to have a fresh start with Marissa and I would have if I didn’t meet the beauty I'm with right now. Marissa was a great girl and I hope she finds happiness whoever it’s with. I never got a chance to say goodbye to her but I hope when she gets back we can all still be friends.

I turned my head at the sound of Zane rushing down the stairs, that’s the fastest he’s moved all week. “What’s got you in such a hurry?” I asked as he reached the bottom.

“Oh nothing really” he spared me a glance and mumbled before going off on his way. In a way things have changed around here, most of the pack wasn’t affected my Marissa’s leaving but Zane was the most affected, which affected his dad, which affected the pack. I hope he can get her back in time.

“Alex” Laura said softly, most likely trying to get my attention. I turned towards her and gave her a smile. “Are you even watching this with me?” she asked irritably. Sometimes she can get irritated over some stupid things and that was one of the things I didn’t like about her, but I guess everyone has a bad quality.

“Of course I am” I kissed the top of her head and said. She simply rolled her eyes and went back to watching her movie, which I really didn’t know what the heck was going on. So I decided that I could take a nap and she wouldn’t really mind. I closed my eyes and leaned back, slowly drifting into sleep.

Marissa’s POV

I walked into class and thank god I did not see John there. There was no one out of the ordinary there actually.

“Good morning class, I know you were all expecting to see John today but he was a little delayed and will be here tomorrow. And yes you are all required to be here, although I don’t know who would want to miss it” the professor mumbled the last part before starting class.

“So you can all partner up and we will begin with a few exercises” I sighed in relief and then looked over at Paris who was already looking at me. I nodded and we began doing the training we were instructed to do.

“I was kind of wondering, I know we haven't known each other a while but do you want to go on a date with me?” he asked as I dodged one of his punched aimed for my jaw. To say I was surprised was a understatement. I stumbled and stuttered. I didn’t know what to say, I barely knew this guy and was I over the heartbreak of Zane?

But then my mind reminded me that doesn’t matter anymore. I was thousands of miles away from him and I won’t be seeing him anytime soon. I might as well try and move on. So I uttered the words I wasn’t even sure of yet. I gave Paris a small smile before replying.

“Sure that sounds great” I watched as a smile lit up his face. His short blonde hair was ruffled in a cute way and his bleu eyes shone with happiness. Paris was a decent looking guy and what did I have to lose? It wasn’t like I was going to be seeing anyone I knew anytime soon. I had to move on and make a life for myself here sometime so why not now?
