Twisting Her Fate
Chapter 104

Oscar has never had a urge to hit a woman in a non-training environment, but he would love to slap some sense into this woman. Just listening to the vile hateful things that come out her mouth, he can only imagine what Maggie has said and done to Leilani. Maggie has always used her position, her supposed prestige over others, believing that everyone is below her, but it is Maggie that has been living in the borrowed position.

Oscar really feels like he owes Leilani so much, he should have been there to protect her, all he has ever wanted was to be a good big brother, calling that one of his most important jobs in life. Instead, he doted on a vile girl so much that all her putridness seeps into everyday life, poisoning everyone around her.

The girl that he was meant to protect and dote on has been left to fend for herself. He is not sure whether she will remember his name, his face or the short conversation that changed something in him. "She is my sister, she is Cora"

"How do you know that? Even if any of this letter is true, it is just the words of a crazy woman, there is no mention of a pack"

"If you can ask me that you are even more blind than I thought, she has mum's hair, she has my eyes, my father's eyes"

"Dad's eyes aren't that color"

"SIMON IS NOT MY F*CKING FATHER"

Oscar gets right in Maggie's face, Maggie shuffels back on the dusty sheet covered sofa with fear.

"Don't you ever say that to me again. He has never been a father to me. He robbed me of my father and then stole my childhood. He is your f*cking father, he has nothing to do with me. I want nothing to do with you either. How are you not more disgusted with your mother's actions? In your father's actions?"

Oscar takes a step back like he is disgusted to be in her presence, like he doesn't even want to breathe the same air as her, but his voice is just as loud as he continues.

"How can you not feel bad for the woman that raised you, for the way I was treated, that a baby had to grow up without her family, thinking that no one cared for her, thinking she was left on the edge of a pack without a care? Without a loving family, someone to take her in"

Oscar has tears running down his face as his heart clenches, he doesn't even know Leilani's story, yet his mind is conjuring up all sorts of bad things, really it isn't too far off the truth.

"You don't care about any of it, all you care about is your stupid f*cking blood, you want alpha blood so badly?"

Oscar extends a claw, tearing a slice down his arm and watching the blood drench his skin as it forms drops before falling to the ground.

"Here f*cking take it, a fat lot of good alpha blood ever did me, I haven't been able to protect who I should have, I don't want this blood anymore, I am undeserving"

Maggie watches with wide eyes as Oscar shoves his arm in her face. She watches as the strong man breaks down. Truth be told, if she could take his blood in such a way, she would. If she could take all the alpha blood from Oscar's body and transfer it to herself, she would without blinking. If she could drain his entire lifeforce and make herself just as powerful and important as she always believed she would.

Maggie feels dirty. She has always looked down upon omegas, always felt that she was so much better than them. That they didn't deserve to be in the same room as her, how can she be one of them? Hasn't she just fallen from heaven to hell? Hasn't she gone from a queen to a peasant? How can she possibly accept this?

"She isn't, I am not what she said, it isn't possible, none of this is real, it is all lies and you are just believing it"

"Tell me what you did to Leilani?"

"I did to her what she deserved, as she was below me she only got exactly what an orphaned peasant deserved" Oscar is so furious that he is shaking, self-blame surrounds him, burning his lungs.

"But she never was, was she? She was always above you. The fact is that if you were the one that was 'lower' by your own standards, if you were grateful, accepting, friendly, anything that you should have been, none of this would affect you. You would just shrug your shoulders and say oh well, I am omega blood, it wouldn't change anything, you would still be the same person, everything would still be the same except you would understand yourself a little better. Knowing might have been a relief. But it's the way you've acted your whole life. Thinking you're better than everyone else for your blood value. Let me tell you it makes no difference, blood doesn't even matter, it is our actions that matter"

"You can only say that because you are"

"No, I don't care what I am. All I ever wanted was a family, but your father wasn't happy with what he had. Your mother wasn't happy with what she had and you have never been happy with what you have. So, instead of being distant relative strangers. We are stuck in this wreck"

"You are blaming me for my parents fault. All of this happened before I had any say in it, before I could even possibly play a part in it"

"I know that is true, but don't you feel remorse? Don't you feel sad for your birth mother? Don't you feel sad for anyone else? All you care about is everything to do with yourself and how it will affect you. I've never met anyone as selfish as you" "Who cares? If I want to be selfish, I deserve to be selfish"

"Why do you deserve it? Have you thought about anyone else in your entire life? Have you made the world a better place? Have you done anything for the enrichment of anyone or anything except for your own quest for power?"

"I deserve to be Luna. I have worked hard for it"

Oscar throws his head back and laughs.

"But the stupid thing is that the moon goddess deemed you worthy of becoming luna. You have to remember that, but everything got so twisted and messed up. You live Lani's life and Lani lived your life and instead of ending up with the alphas that you should have ended up with, it all got tangled into what it is now"

"And is that my fault?"

"I don't know who's fault it is. It's everyone's fault. It's mostly Simon's fault, but Simon isn't here now. I want you to feel something, anything"

"I don't need to feel anything, Oscar. I'm the one that's wronged. I meant to be the beloved sister. Yet all you're doing is yelling at me. I meant to be the loved daughter yet, instead of caring about what I'm going through, Mum is just laying there doing nothing" "Don't you f*cking get it? She isn't your mum. Your mother died in this very cabin. The very cabin that you said you would never associate with no one that lived in a place like this. This was meant to be your home. Do you feel anything yet?" Oscar gestures at the cot in the corner of the room.

"That was your bed, you lived here, the house you are so far above, it was yours, it should have been yours"

"Yes Oscar, I feel something. I feel disgusted about being in this place. I feel disgusted for a woman that would allow herself to be in this place. I feel happy that I didn't have to live in this place, but now all I want to do is move on"

"And how do you move on with something like this? Tell me Maggie, because I am at a loss, how can you move on from twenty-one years of wrong-doings?"

Maggie's only thought is to get out of this place. Her and Oscar are just going around circles and it is not likely to have a good outcome. All she knows is she needs to get out of this place and get to Gabriel. She needs that mark. She needs to ensure her future. She can not allow this truth to come out before she has that.

"Just let me go. None of this is my problem. I don't care about the woman and you can do whatever you want with Simon. It's on him not on me"

"This is your father and your mother you were talking about in such a heartless way. I don't understand how you can be how you are"

Maggie stands up and moves forward with large strides. Hoping that Oscar doesn't stop her. Oscar just watches her leave. It doesn't matter what she says about Leilani. He will never believe her anyway. She is not willing to accept anything. Not willing to tell the truth about anything, so what's the point of asking her?

He will just replace Leilani himself and replace out the truth. Oscar just shouts at her leaving figure.

"Don't you feel remorse? Don't you feel anything? Are you really so heartless? You don't care about your birth mother that has died. You don't care about your adopted mother that has raised you and has had everything taken away from her. You are f*cking heartless. Maggie. There is no part of our relationship that is worth keeping. There is nothing about you that I want around me. You are toxic. You may not have anything to do with what happened originally, but it is your reaction now that matters. You are no sister to me. Our relationship is dead. The whole time, I've tried to be the best brother I can be and all it was was all about you the whole time. Now it can still be about you. It'll just be you by yourself. Don't come to me. If I never see you again, it'll be too soon" Oscar frowns heavily as his hands pull at his hair as he runs his hands through it obsessively. He is not this type of person. He is a good guy. The nice guy always. He hates saying all this stuff but he needs Maggie to know how disappointing he is in her. He needs her to know that every one of her actions disgust him.

"I hope you replace that power. I hope you become the luna, gain that title, and I hope once it's all done it is all worth it. I hope once it is all said and done that you are happy because, to me, a desperado that wants nothing more than a title will never be happy"
