Oh No By Marina Novels & Stories

"Okay." Marina smiled. She leaned in, her forehead resting against mine for a brief second. "Keep your eyes open, my love." * * *

She’s practically in tears and this night is already fucked, I don’t need more drama so I just continue to speed walk away resulting in a few more cans to be kicked that had fallen on the ground. “Can you not get the hint?” Colin is almost in his Alpha tone which made me pissed. “Yes actually, I can get the hint and I am trying to leave. Sorry for making so much noise on my way out of your life. Enjoy the rest of your night with your true Luna, ALPHA!” I use our mind link just to drive home the fact that not only did I hear his little conversation, but his mate, that he just fully mated and marked is not happy at all.

Ara, just wait ......................................................

"But I will support you. I will be by your side, always." "I love you, Bella. Just like this. I don't expect you to go killing people." My heart still fluttered each time he said that. "I love you too." We sat in silence for a while, just listening to the sound of the waves, the muted hum of the insects there. Mariano got a beep on his mobile phone. He checked the text and wrote something back. "Who's that?" I asked. "Just the chef, wondering if we want to eat now."

She stepped right in front of her as if Maria owed her an explanation. A glint of coldness flashed through Maria's gaze. She hadn't expected someone to pick a fight over nothing so suddenly. Who did she upset by showing up and entering the competition? She kept her expression mild and smiled. "My name is Marina. There are videos online of the fire I was in. If you don't believe me, you can look them up." The woman's face changed. The others turned on her with disapproving glances and refused to let her keep hounding Maria. They turned their words on her instead.

Grayson added. Everyone nodded. Marina looked so innocent in a simple blue summer dress with capped sleeves that stretched past her knees and fluttered in the morning breeze. Without makeup, she looked younger than her age. “We will let her speak and plead her case.” Violet invited Marina to the middle of the stage. “My name is Marina Evergreen, the last of the Silvercreek Evergreens.” Her voice cracked. She brought dishonor to her family by standing up there in the first place. But she knew it was more righteous to face the consequences.

I could take some juicy pictures for my collection too. “Alright, I’ll try,” I said. I walked toward Marina. She was still alone. Maybe I had the wrong impression thinking she was that guy’s date. “Hey,” I said and tapped her on the shoulder. Marina turned around, and her face turned sour when she saw me. Jeez, am I really that undesirable to her? “Oh. Hey Logan,” she said dryly. “Expecting someone else?” I chuckled. “None of your business,” she snapped.

She heard the splash of the tires spilling right through the ground as the silence ensued them for a minute. "What are you trying to do? Not obliging my rules was enough to make me change my mind? No, Marian. I would not do that for just the sake of you being my daughter," Marina said while scowling at her and she glanced at her lap as she clutched her tote bag tightly. She saw the note that was printed over her bag and it said that she should follow her heart.

Slowly, I turned. A girl leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed. She was tall, sharp-eyed, with heavy eyeliner and a red dress that clung to her curves. I recognized her immediately—Marina. One of the favorites here. One of the ones who never had to beg for food or cry in the dark. “I don’t have time for this,” I said softly, trying to move past her. She stepped in my way, lips curving into a mocking smile. “Of course you don’t. You’re too busy running off to play pet for the Don.” Her eyes flicked to my trembling hands. “You danced for him, didn’t you? Everyone’s been talking.”
