“Nothing.” I whispered, locking my eyes with Reuben..
Hearing me his eyes darkened, his expression turning devilish. “Oran!” he suddenly yelled for his
Beta, who had been standing at a distance like an invisible presence all along. rmed, I looked
toward Oran to find him swiftly picking up Wyatt and Lori in his arms and striding away.
“Mommy!”
“Mommy!!” Both Wyatt and Lori screamed, squirming to get free from Oran’s firm grip. But they were
no match to a tall strong man. Oran effortlessly carried both children as though they were feathers.
“Wait! I won’t let you take them!” I screamed as I desperately tried to free myself from Reuben’s
grasp. My attempts were futile, his hold on me too strong and tight, “Let me go! Let me go!!”
“Let you go so that you could run away from me again?!” Reuben’s voice boomed, resonating
across the balcony with an ecric intensity. “How dare you run away from me, Willow?” His grip
tightened as he drew me closer, his eyes burning with intensity. “How could you ignore my love and
leave without a word? You fled even after seeing me at the airport! Do you have any idea what the
past six years have been like without you?!”
“It was you who betrayed me, Reuben!” I screamed, wrenching myself free from his grasp. “You
chose to obtain the Alpha position over being with me. You couldn’t ept my unexpected
pregnancy and basically used me of cheating on you,” I pointed out, my emotions in disarray.
Never in my whole life had I expected that I would be talking about the most painful moment of my
life.
“What?” His brows furrowed.
“I was betrayed, rejected, and abandoned. What else did you expect from me?” My voice trembled
with the hurt of the past. The memory of that full moon night, discovering Reuben’s engagement to
an Alpha’s daughter still haunted me. The dreams. that I had woven with him six years ago being
shattered, left scars so deep that I hadn’t been able to forget it for even a second. My soul was
wounded and having him reappear in my life only opened those old wounds again.
“When did I ask you to leave me? Did I even reject you, Willow?” Suddenly, he was close to me
again, his voice turning into a growl, “You should have waited for me!” His wolf eyes bore into mine,
filled with intensity. “You should have waited for my return

instead of leaving me. You shouldn’t have hidden from me all these years, Willow. More
importantly…” he paused, gripping my hair and pulling me closer to his face. “You shouldn’t have
hidden my children from me,” his breath warm against my skin. When he mentioned Wyatt and Lori
his eyes held very different emotions.
“They are not your children,” I retorted, staring right into his eyes.
“They are…” he murmured, feeling the bond with Wyatt and Lori the moment they met. Now, seeing
them with me, he was certain. “They are my flesh and blood. They are a part of me. They are my
children…”
“That you rejected from before they were even born,” I cut him off sharply. Reuben froze, his grip on
my hair faltering as my words struck a chord within him. “You rejected your own child before they
were even born, Reuben. You lost them at that moment when you said that they were not yours.
You lost any opportunity that you had to be called their father!” I pulled away, my eyes slightly moist
and tinged with red, “So let me go.”
“Impossible…” Reuben murmured, closing the distance between us. “There’s no way I’m letting you
go, Willow,” he growled, his aura bing sharper.
“I’m already gone.” I dered, stepping back. “And I’m nevering back…” I whispered, holding
his gaze for a moment before turning to leave.
This whole diabolical plot on his part had to end here. The story that had concluded six years ago
couldn’t be restarted. I needed to get away from him. As I neared the doorway, two strong hands
turned me around and pinned me against a nearby wall.
I gasped in surprise, meeting Reuben’s eyes. “If you’re gone, I’ll bring you back, Willow,” he gently
pressed his body against mine. “If you’re nevering back, then I’ll steal you away from yourself,
Willow,” he softly trailed a hand behind my neck, whispering near my lips. “I’ll do anything to reim
you, but you can’t run away from me now, mate…”
My eyes widened, my heart racing at his words. I tightly clutched my dress, trying to steady my
heartbeat as his obsessively possessive gaze met mine. My wolf was also stunned in my mind
when she heard him call us mate.
Tearing myrge eyes away from him, he nced at my parted lips. Just as his breath brushed my
lips, I lifted a hand to his chest. “You can never win me back, Reuben,” I shoved him away. “I hate
you,” I dered, then turned and walked away from him.
Walking down the empty hallway and quickly returned to the ball. I closed my eyes for a moment,
trying to rein in my emotions. What did he mean when he said that he would not let me run away
again? My fists clenched at my sides. We meant nothing to each other. Why did he want anything to
do with me six years after he rejected me anyway, especially when… when he was married to
someone else?

My wolf growled within my mind, furious. No, I couldn’t let myself be yed by him again. I refused
to let Reuben take Wyatt and Lori from me!
Following Wyatt and Lori’s scents, I arrived at the banquet area where I found them seated in
chairs, Oran offering them a ss of juice with a smile. They shook their heads, not wanting to
ept anything from a stranger.
“Mommy!” Wyatt and Lori noticed me approaching and rushed over to me.
“Are you okay?” Wyatt asked.
“I’m fine,” I smiled, holding their heads to my chest. “Let’s go,” turning away, I left the ball without a
backward nce. Having them back in my arms brought a sense of relief. Once we were back in
the hotel room, I couldn’t help but hold my children tightly.
“Mommy, we only came to the ball so that we could give you the invitation that you had dropped in
the room,” Wyatt rified. “We were not being naughty and were going to return to the room right
away!”
A small smile appeared on my lips. I just remained silent, hugging their warm little bodies. N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.
“Mommy…what’s wrong?” Wyatt and Lori asked together, hugging me back with their little arms.
I pulled away from them and shook my head, “Nothing, mommy is just so happy to have both of you
in her life,” my voice shook with emotions. I kissed both of their heads. and said, “Let’s grab our
luggage and go to grandpa’s pack now.”
“Yay! We are finally going to grandpa’s pack!” Lori jumped in excitement as they both raced to grab
their bags. I smiled at the sight of them bringing out my luggage. We were supposed to stay at the
hotel tonight but not anymore. I couldn’t risk staying in this hotel any longer and couldn’t wait for
Beta Ken to show up in the morning to take us to the Wade Moon Pack.
Grabbing my luggage, I exited the hotel with my children. Outside the hotel, the taxi stood waiting
for us as I had called in advance. Wyatt and Lori jumped into the taxi while the driver put our
luggage in the trunk.
Still standing outside, I messaged Beta Ken about our impending arrival before putting the phone
away then I felt someone’s eyes on me. I slowly turned to the hotel, unconsciously my eyes went to
the terrace where I found a dark figure standing dangerously close to the edge, watching me.
“Mommy, let’s go!” Lori called out. I tore my eyes away from the terrace and climbed into the taxi
without looking back.
