I lay in bed staring up at the crescent moon all night long. Sleeping in the room that was next to Reuben’s was already distracting me, especially when we were only separated by a wall. Whenever I closed my eyes to sleep, Reuben’s words echoed in my mind again and again.

“There is nothing between Ella and I.”

“We are fiancee only on paper.

“Ella does not love me and I don’t love Ella.”

‘I only want you…”

I rested my hand over my crazy heartbeat as I sat up on the bed. Why was I not able to forget it? He has to be lying to me. The news of his marriage was all over the media. She was his fiancee, everything had been laid bare in front of my eyes, yet my wolf was suddenly calm after Reuben’s earlier claim. I had felt sincerity in his claim that he did not love Ella.

‘Lonly want you…’ his words echoed in my ears as my heart started to drum in my chest again.

“No… stop thinking about it,” I buried my face in my hands and wanted to scream.

The whole night, I had been struggling with diving into different pools of emotion that had been raised by Reuben’s claim. I was torn between the betrayal of the past, trust, and the present. The night felt as long as a year yet I had not managed to catch an hour’s sleep.

With the first ray of sun, I got up from my bed, stripped out of my clothes, and went for a run in the woods. To help keep my emotions in check, I let Ceri out. I had to let my wolf out otherwise I was going to go crazy with all the thoughts that I continued to turn over in my head.

Ceri ran so fast it seemed like she was riding the wind. We had missed the

greenery here so much. This was the first time I had let Ceri out in too many months to count. Back in Britain I had to be cautious. Shifting in your own territory was one thing but shifting in while in random woods was far too risky. If someone would have spotted a white wolf in the woods then it would have been huge news and incredibly dangerous for us so I had hardly shifted in the past 6 years. I had concluded that it was part of the

reason my wolf had gotten silent.

I passed the small bridge and entered another part of the woods. I was familiar with every corner of the Emerald Bright Pack territory including the woods. I had spent. some of my most formative years here after all. Enjoying the greenery, I ran for hours until I reached deep into the woods, ending up in a place that was normally avoided by wolves in the pack.

Slowing my pace, I glanced at the large sacred cave where I had only been once before. It was the place where the rejection ceremony was held. Since it was actually a location that was designed to be a place where sadness, tears, and broken bonds were laid to rest, people avoided even coming within eyesight of it.

I stopped in front of the cave glancing at it with mixed emotions. Three months from now, I would have to return here. So that I could complete the rejection ceremony. All the thoughts that had churned in my mind last night cleared when I saw the cave. It was like reality slapped me hard across the face, clearing my mind of all the nonsense I had been clouding it with.

“Did you come here to check if the cave is really sealed or not?’ A sudden mind-link surprised me. I had not received a mind-link for the last six years.

Startled, I looked ahead of me to find a big black Alpha wolf standing in front of me. It was Dex. What was he doing here?

But wait, had Reuben… actually mind-link me? Since I had abandoned the Emerald Bright Pack, breaking all ties with them in the past, it should be impossible for Reuben to mind-link me. So… how could he… have done it?

‘Because he is our soulmate, Ceri replied, surprising me further. She talked to me again!

When I did not answer why I was here, Reuben frowned, I could see his thoughts starting to run wild again.

“You came all the way out here. It seems you cannot wait for rejection,” he growled. Why was he so triggered by me being here? His dark green eyes were fixed on me, boring deep into mine like he never learnt how to blink. The more he stared at me like that the more I felt as if he wanted to swallow me whole.

Suddenly he started walking over to me. My heart quickened by his sudden action. What was he thinking? I quickly took a few steps back, doubtful of his intentions. We were alone in the woods, especially in this isolated area where he could do anything he wanted with me!

Chapter 201

I immediately turned around and decided to leave with quick steps but just as I turned a black wolf blocked my path. Reuben shifted into his human form and stood there as n*ked as the day he was born in front of me.

My eyes widened and my face turned red in shame, ‘What the hell are you doing?’ I yelled at him through a mind-link. Compared to six years ago his b*dy looked stronger than ever. My eyes subconsciously went to his eight pack abs then his manhood. My face turned scarlet and I looked away. Sh it! How was it that after all these years his manhood looked even longer and thicker.

He smirked at my reaction, “It is not like you have never seen me n*ked,” he knelt in front of me and brushed a hand through my fur, “Why are you being so shy, Willow?” he spoke softly as he locked eyes with me and whispered, “Remember, you have even touched, ridden, and f ucked it.”

My face turned redder at his statement. The memories of the wild S*x we shared in the past flooded in my mind, causing me to burn with embarrassment. “If your memory is weak, should I remind you?” his eyes shone with lust and desire as his hand boldly began roaming through my fur.

“You!” I wriggled and bit his hand hard but surprisingly he showed no sign of pushing me back or pulling his hand from my mouth.

That’s when I realized I had fallen into his trap. I immediately let his hand go and tried to run but he caught me. “Are you running after ogling my n*ked b*dy?”

My eyes widened, “Are you insane? Who said I was enjoying your n*kedness?” I snapped at his crazy words.

“Still you saw me n*ked right? I felt molested,” he accused.

“Molested?” I glared at him for such a low handed accusation. That shameless man was molested by me?!

“How about you shift into your human form too?” he suggested.

A chill ran down to my spin. If I shifted then… I would be n*ked in front of his eyes!

“Nonsense!” I growled and tried to run away but he caught me quickly in his large hands. The next thing I knew my wolf was lifted in the air.

“What are you doing?!!” I screamed through the mind-link struggling in his arms.

“Don’t move”

“Let go!” I did not obey him.

“I said don’t move,” he softly nipped my wolf’s ear, sending sparks all over my b*dy. Ceri let out a low moan and I felt like I melted in Reuben’s arms. What was that?

I froze in his arms, shocked by my own reaction. I was feeling hot all over my b*dy. That’s when I noticed the direction that he was walking in.

“Where are you taking me?” I asked in a panic.

“Back to the pack.”

My mind went blank at his remark. He was n*ked and holding me. If someone saw us together in this condition then…

“No! Stop. Put me down! Put me down, Reuben!” I demanded.

“Why?”

“We can’t enter the pack in this condition! Put some clothes on, Reuben! And let me put on mine!” I demanded.

“I thought you did not want to shift…”

I glared at him furiously, “I will shift. So put me the f uck down,” I gritted my teeth.

A satisfied smile appeared on his l*ps when I agreed to shift. He slowly put me down. “Don’t run away or I really will carry you into the pack like this,” he warned me.

“I ignored him and went behind a tree to don my loose shirt and shorts. The whole time I was sl*pping into the clothes, I felt Reuben watching the tree that I was changing behind. A few minutes later when I came out, he was already wearing jeans and a t-shirt.

Reuben glanced at my long bare legs then shifted his eyes at my sweaty n*eck. I acted as if I did not notice him checking me out and started to walk away. He followed me closely the whole time without making a sound, whenever I looked back his eyes were

set on me.

I ignored him and quickened my pace. Wyatt and Lori must have woken up by now. I had lost track of time, so I had to return to the packhouse soon. Yesterday they had eaten the food made by Omegas but today I had to cook for them.

An hour later, we finally made it out of the woods but once I stepped into the front yard. of the packhouse, some voices reached my ears. Reuben and I paused together at the sight of way too many people having crowded into the living room, my eyes fell on

Wyatt and Lori who were among them.

“What is going on?!” I raced inside the packhouse, passing by the crowd, and pulled Wyatt and Lori into my arms,

“Wyatt, Lori, are you okay?” I asked them in panic.

“Willow!” The group’s gasps entered my ears. I raised my head to find the pack. members that had once been my friends and neighbors six years ago were there.

“Willow, it really is you! The news of your return was true!” the girls excitedly exclaimed pulling me into a hug. I was surprised for a couple of seconds by the unexpected greeting. They were all happy for my return. “We missed you so much.”

I smiled and hugged them back. “I missed all of you too.”

“Are these two little ones your children?” one of my friends asked, attracting my

attention.

My heart started beating faster. If they also called Wyatt and Lori b asta rds then…

“Our little Alpha looks exactly like Alpha Reuben,” one of the women giggled, pinching Wyatt’s cheek and others agreed.

I was stunned to hear them. They… they knew Reuben was my children’s father?

“How do you know…” I opened my mouth to ask before someone replied.

“Last night Beta Oran announced to the pack the news about Alpha Reuben’s twins and your return! Why did you hide such beautiful children from us all these years, Willow? We were all so excited that we came to see you and your children.”

I blinked at their smiling faces and the love they were exhibiting towards Wyatt and Lori. Reuben…revealed it? The whole pack found out that Reuben and I had been in a relationship and that I had given birth to his children?

I looked past the crowd to find Reuben standing there watching me. Why… Why did he do that? My heart sk ipped a beat at the intensity of his gaze. What did he want from

me?
