    Alpha Benjamin?” I couldn’t believe my ears. My mind went nk, and I couldn’t think straight


    anymore.


    Alpha Benjamin testified against Reuben? How could that even be possible? I knew in my heart that


    Reuben was innocent, but I couldn’t wrap my head around the idea that Alpha Benjamin was the


    one who framed my mate. Why would the Alpha do such a thing? It made no sense to me.


    Moreover, I couldn’t dismiss the imperial decree that called for Reuben’s death.


    Just as I was grappling with confusion and emotion, the strange sound of clinking silver chains


    reached my ears. My gaze snapped in Reuben’s direction.


    “Where are you taking him? Let him go!” I yelled as I witnessed them dragging Reuben’s motionless


    body toward the exit of the packhouse. To my horror, Reuben was no longer responsive, and I


    couldn’t discern how long he had been in that state. What I could see was that his entire body had


    turned blue.


    “Reuben!” I screamed, shoving those wolves out of my way before rushing over to him. “What


    happened to you?” I fell to my knees and touched his face, which felt as cold as ice. “Reuben, open


    your eyes,” I begged, lightly pping his cheek. My entire body trembled in fear at his unresponsive


    state. “Reuben! Please…”


    I continued to call out to him, trying to wake him, while Ceri attempted to connect with his wolf.


    However, she failed, as Reuben’s mind was eerily empty.


    “REUBEN!” I cried, wrapping my arms around him. The absence of Dex through our mate bond only


    intensified my panic.


    “What the hell did you do to him?!” I screamed at ck, ring at him with eyes burning red as I


    clutched Reuben tightly to my chest.


    He crushed some purple leaves in his hand and dropped them to the floor. “I was always curious as


    to how it would affect a werewolf. Now, I finally found a chance to use it in a live experiment,” he


    replied callously.


    “What?” My eyes fixated on the crushed leaf, and as its rming scent reached my nose, my heart


    leapt into my throat. “Wolfsbane?”


    My wide eyes snapped up to ck, who wore an evil smile on his lips.


    The silver chains were coated with wolfsbane! That’s why Reuben was affected so severely by it his


    wolf had be nonexistent, and he became unresponsive!

    “Why are you doing this?” My arm around Reuben’s body tightened subconsciously out of fear of


    losing him, and my instinct to protect him with my life kicked in. “WHY THE HELL ARE YOU DOING


    THIS?!” I burst out in anger, tears threatening to spill from my eyes. But then, suddenly, the room


    turnedpletely ck.


    I came to an abrupt halt when all I could see was ck standing in front of me. He leaned down


    and grabbed my cheek in a punishing grip. “You brought this upon yourself!” he spat, ring into my


    eyes with deadly intent. “Someone has to be held responsible for your actions, right? By choosing


    him, you automatically substitute him for the punishment you are bound to receive…” he growled,


    his voice low yet filled with hatred, each word carving guilt into my heart and making me painfully


    aware of the crimes Imitted by loving Reuben and choosing him.


    He released my cheek, leaving it red and painful, his eyes devoid of emotion. Pulling away from me,


    he began to exit the packhouse while my eyes remained wide, unable to blink and struggling to


    breathe.


    Stopping in the doorway, he shot me a meaningful nce. “The game starts now,” he dered with


    an evil smirk before exiting the packhouse.


    What did he mean by the game starts now? With his departure, the dark that had flooded the room


    around me returned to normal.


    Suddenly, my body regained its strength, and I became aware of my surroundings. The monstrous


    wolves that had been holding silver chains were no longer present. However, as I looked down at


    my hand where I had clutched Reuben to my chest, he had disappeared too!


    “Reuben!” I panicked, staring at my empty hands in disbelief as the realization hit me that he had


    taken Reuben away. “REUBEN!” I screamed, rushing out of the packhouse in hopes of catching


    them, only to be met with an empty yard. How was this possible? The royal wolves and ck, none


    of them were there it was almost as if they never existed. Where did he take my Reuben?


    “REUBEN!” I screamed again, turning in all directions, but all I got in response was deafening


    silence.


    “Reuben,” I whispered, tears streaming down my cheeks as I covered my mouth with both hands.


    What had just happened? Everything had been normal, and we had been living happily together just


    half an hour ago, but now… “They are going to execute him…”


    I was going to lose my soulmate, and there was nothing I could do about it. His execution was


    taking ce under a royal decree. Even if I went to the King and exined that Reuben was


    innocent, no one would believe me, especially when Alpha Benjamin had testified against him.

    “How could Alpha Benjamin lie?” I eximed, gripping my hair as my heart pounded wildly in my


    chest. “Why would he do it?” My mind raced with a thousand possibilities for the Alpha’s actions, but


    no matter the reason, it had cost me my mate’s life. The mere thought of losing Reuben sent me


    into a frenzy.


    sping my fists at my sides, I refused to ept the idea of losing Reuben. He couldn’t die, I was


    determined to save him. Wiping away my tears, I hurried back into the packhouse and mind-linked


    Mia, instructing her toe to the packhouse immediately.


    I quickly searched for my car keys, and as I turned Mia had just entered the living room. “Willow,


    what’s wrong? You called me in such a hurry. Is everything all right?” she asked, her expression


    filled with concern.


    “Mia, I don’t have time to exin but I have a favor to ask,” I said urgently.


    “Tell me!” she eximed.


    “Please take care of Wyatt and Lori for me. Oran and Bix are not in the pack at the moment either,


    so please don’t leave my children until I return. You will be staying at the packhouse,” I instructed.


    “Alright,” she nodded, and I quickly passed by her.


    “But where are you going?” she yelled after me.


    I paused with clenched fists. “To Wade Moon!” With that, I stormed out of the packhouse and drove


    away at full speed.


    I had to visit Alpha Benjamin and ask him why he framed Reuben. I needed to gather evidence to


    prove Reuben’s innocence before it was toote. Once the Alpha King realized that Reuben was


    not responsible for those mysterious attacks, I could save him.


    “But what if we can’t find any evidence?” Ceri asked. As she asked, my hand tightened on the


    steering wheel.


    I took a deep breath and held my foot down on the elerator even more. “Then… the King better


    watch his back because I’ll bring Reuben back even if it costs me my life!” I growled, about to cross


    the territory in a matter of minutes when I received a mind-link from Bix.


    “Willow, I caught an intruder when I was reentering the territory,” Bix informed me, surprising me.


    “Please handle it on your own, Bix. I’m in a hurry, Reuben is…” I began, but Bix

    Chapter 94


    interrupted me.


    “I can’t handle it when the intruder is calling your name. They are refusing to speak to anyone else


    but you no matter the consequences,” he exined urgently.


    Frowning in surprise at the intruder’s insistence on meeting me, I asked, “Who are they?” Just as I


    questioned, Bix standing at the border, came into view but he wasn’t alone. He was with the


    intruder.


    My eyes


    widened when I saw who it was. I immediately mmed my foot on the brakes and got out of the


    car in a panic. “Sky?”Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.
