Reuben
The Next Morning
Standing outside the soundproof window of the torture room alongside Bix, I watched as Alpha
Adam groaned in pain.
“You can’t trust anything he says,” Bix warned, his gaze serious as they rested on Alpha Adam,
even though Adam couldn’t see us. “He’s a hypocrite, a greedy evil b a s t a r d. He would use and
me anyone for his own profit, so we can’t trust his im when he says that Alpha Benjamin had
anything to do with Dark,” he added.
I nodded. “That’s why I haven’t disclosed this matter to Willow yet. Her respect for Alpha Benjamin
is beyond anyone’s imagination. That old man really went out of his way to help my mate when she
was pregnant and alone. It’s not like I trust him at all, but first I need to confirm whether Alpha
Adam’s im is true or not,” I stated, fiddling with a cigarette packet in my hand as I studied Alpha
Adam’s expression closely. He was full of guilt and sorrow over the loss of his daughter, and he
didn’t seem to have any motivation to live anymore. “In this condition, Adam doesn’t have any
reason to lie, and the sudden mention of Alpha Benjamin in this matter doesn’t seem like a
coincidence to me,” I shared my thoughts, which Bix agreed with.
“This coincidence is really odd. If Dark’s power was truly used to switch E and me years ago, then
that means that Dark was in power at the time as well, which would be highly unusual because a
man in histe twenties should have been a toddler or only one or two years old at that time,” he
pointed out. “So either Alpha Adam is lying or Dark is really not in histe twenties.
That’s when I recalled Willow telling me about her nightmare and the remembered fragment of her
past where she saw Dark. “What if he never aged?” I stated, gazing at his surprised expression
directed towards me.
“That’s insane if that’s really the case! He is turning out to be even more dangerous than we
originally imagined him to be. I bet he’sing for us!” Bix remarked.
“I agree, but I have something even more thrilling than this,” Oran entered through the door with an
ancient book in his hand.
His eyes first locked with Bix, who immediately looked away, but Bix’s ears were red. I looked
between two of them for a moment before I asked, “What did you find?” I raised an eyebrow.

Show me!” I took the book from him and started reading the line that really exined the inhuman
and insane strength, the control over fire, and controlling the surrounding by some anonymous
energies. Everything exined in that book mirrored Dark’s energy.
“Okay, but what is so thrilling about this?” Bix murmured momentarily, forgetting about things
between him and Oran as he read alongside me.
“Actually the thing is, not everyone can have such powers but only…” Oran paused and nced at
me.
My eyes got stuck on the book when I read the words, ‘royal family?
My mind instantly went nk.
“How is this possible?” Bix gasped and looked at me. “Does this mean that this Dark person is
connected to that… royal family?”
Oran and Bix both looked at me together as I nearly crushed the book in his hand. Willow
“Why are you helping me?” E, curled up in the corner of the guest room, asked me in despair.
“It’s not wise to willingly leap into a well,” I murmured, seated across from her, my back against the
wall. Yesterday when Walter brought her back to the packhouse, he waited until I returned with
Reuben and then he pushed E in my arms and left without looking back. I did not let E leave
the packhouse. I talked to Reuben about her stay in our pack and he left the decision up to me.
No matter what our rtionship was with E now, as a woman I could not let her be vited by
those monsters outside, “Predators await you outside. Don’t sacrifice your life to punish yourself,” I
advised.
She slowly raised her eyes where tears had long gone dry yet her nose and cheeks were still
reddened from crying.” Don’t you hate me?” she murmured.
“I’m simply trying to repay the kindness you showed me by bing my friend when I was alone at
a new school,” I replied softly and the mention of that time surprised her. “I want to repay you for
informing Reuben about Dark when I was in danger, despite our differences. I want to repay you for
revealing everything that happened six years

ago and being honest with me when others kept the truth from me,” I exined. Despite her efforts
to hold them back, a tear escaped from her eyes. “But I also hate you for everything you’ve done,” I
added, knowing she expected to hear it.
“That makes sense,” she replied, a sad smile appearing on her lips as she wiped her tears
away.
She didn’t attempt to defend herself against the usation, daying that she had been influenced by
the spell that had been cast on the marriage contract that Bix had mentioned earlier. She simply
epted her actions without any argument. Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“I hate you for betraying our friendship, for betraying my trust, and for attempting to steal Reuben
away from me,” I continued, my voice tinged with bitterness. “But above all, I hate you the most and
can never forgive you for lying six years ago about Reuben bringing a fiancée home with him.
Because of your lie, I…” my voice trailed off, the weight of my unfinished sentence hanging heavily
in the air as E interrupted me.
“What are you talking about?” E frowned at myst statement. “I never lied to you about Reuben
having a fiancée,” she asserted firmly.
“Why are you lying to my face?” I retorted sharply. “Six years ago, the day I left the Emerald Bright
Pack, it was a full moon. As I was about to approach Reuben, you intercepted me on the way
before joining the others in shifting and running. You explicitly told me that Reuben had brought an
Alpha’s daughter home as his fiancée!” I insisted.
“How would it even be possible for me to meet you on a full moon and lie to you when you know
very well that I celebrate every full moon night with the Opal Moon pack members? Don’t you
remember?” E pointed out.
I sat there, stunned and speechless. E did indeed attend her pack’s gatherings on every full
moon. Why hadn’t I noticed that particr day? “Then howe you said the same thing about
Reuben’s fiancée at the Thanksgiving party too?” I demanded.
“Me? I never said any such thing,” she imed, never looking away from me.
A slight sense of panic rose in my heart in confusion. Could it be that she unconsciously said those
things and never realized? “Then was it not you who sent the pictures of Reuben and I to Alpha
Louis while we were in college to make us break up? Were you not the one who had been secretly
spying on me since I returned a month ago, giving me a creepy feeling?”
“What kind exactly are you using me of?” E’s eyes widened. “I had no feelings for Reuben
prior to signing the marriage contract with him. Now that the contract is gone, my feelings have
nearly faded away and returned to what they had been in the past. I admit Reuben is handsome
and every girl’s desire, but not for me. Moreover, I was into

Oran back in the day, even though it didn’t work between us. So tell me, why would I send photos to
Alpha Louis to make the two of you break up?” She made a reasonable point that I couldn’t deny.
“So it really wasn’t you…” I trailed off, my heart racing as E sensed the gravity of the
situation.

“No…” She shook her head slowly, and my mind went nk with the unexpected revtion. E
had silently acknowledged all her mistakes, and she was not the type of person to lie about her
actions, especially not now when there was no reason to do so. However, if it wasn’t E that day
six years ago? If E was not the one who sent photos to Alpha Louis then who was it?
Suddenly, a sharp knock on the door jolted both E and me. “Luna,” came the voice of the Omega
standing outside, causing our hearts to race even faster.
Startled, we exchanged nces before turning our attention to the Omega. “Pleasee with me
to the children’s room. I’ve been trying to wake them up for their evening snack, but they’re not
responding,” she requested.
“I understand. I’ll go wake them up. You can go,” I replied, rising from the floor to leave the room. As
I made my way to the children’s room, my mind was consumed by confusion. I couldn’t shake the
memory of E’s smiling face and cheerful voice from six years ago. Suddenly, my steps halted as
realization dawned on me-someone had used E’s likeness to deceive me that day. But who could
it be? And why had they done it to me? A very frightening feeling raised my heart and I did not know
why but Dark’s face came to my mind.
That’s when a knock on the front door of the packhouse scared me to death. Coincidentally, I was
standing in the living room a few meters away from the door when it happened. Though the knock
on the door did not sound like a knock, rather it felt as if someone was banging on it.
I flinched at the banging and stared at the door while holding my breath. Who could be on the other
side? As far as I knew Oran and Bix never knocked, they had keyes.
I knew Oran and
I slowly drew closer to the door but froze before opening it when I was enveloped by the aura of the
person standing on the other side of the door. It was sharp, cold, and for some reason… scary.
No… I had to be hallucinating.
Ceri suddenly faded away from my mind and for some reason I did not want to open the door.
Despite the fact that the longer I took to open the door the harder the knock became. My body grew
colder and I felt a sweat forming on my forehead before I raised my hand to open the door.

As soon as I did, a pair of beautiful green eyes that resembled Reuben’s locked with me. Holding
my breath out of fear, I looked at the over six foot tall imposing figure of the handsome yet unknown
man looking at me so intensely that I subconsciously took a step back as he stepped forward
entering the house, matching me step for step. His actions added fuel to my panicked state, until my
back bumped into Reuben’s chest.
“ck?” Reuben’s voice came from behind me as he looked at the man in front of him.
The man stopped and nced at Reuben. However, I stared at him with wide eyes. The name
sounded familiar. It turned out the man was the Crown Prince ck Emerald!
The man that never ever appeared in public! What was he doing here?
