“But you are the heir. What will happen to the Opal Moon if you ”
She shook her head, “Opal Moon was never mine. I have legally returned the territory to its rightful owner the other day. Now it is up to Bix. If he wants to claim, create, establish, or abandon Opal Moon, it is all his choice,”
she explained.
I was surprised to witness this side of Ella. This was the Ella that I had been friends with six years ago-selfless, righteous, and kind. If only Alpha Adam had not forced her to sign those magical marriage papers, she might not have ended up in this situation. However, she seemed to have accepted responsibility for all wrongdoing without making excuses for her bad behavior towards me.
“Have you thought about where you will go?”
I questioned.
“I have not thought about it, but I am sure I will find a way for myself,”
she stated, gently biting her lip as she added, “Umm I just want to apologize to you for everything I did,”
she cleared her throat a little. “I know we cannot go back to being friends on the terms we used to be on, and we cannot ever be best friends again, but I wanted to thank you for giving me shelter even though I did horrible things to you. You were there for me when I needed support.”
I smiled at her and gave a nod, accepting her sincere apology.
“Are you girls going to cry? Should I come back later?”
Bix raised an eyebrow.
Ella rolled her eyes, “Did I say you could talk to me?”
He grinned, “You cannot stay mad at me for long, I know that.”
“Who said that?”
She snapped at him.
“Take a lesson from Willow, become kind hearted! No matter how much of an asshole I was, she was always kind to me!”
He suddenly dragged me into their argument.
Ella narrowed her eyes at me, “You are too innocent, Willow. You should never have forgiven this jerk for how much of a bastard he was to you.”
“It’s okay. It’s all in the past now,”
I smiled.
“Oh no! Girl, you are still too forgiving!”
She was annoyed.
Bix pleaded with me using his eyes, looking down right pitiful. It was the same look he used to give me when we were friends.
I felt bad for him and walked over to Ella. “You should forgive him too. He is your cousin, he had his own reasons for keeping things hidden. His intentions were good, so don’t make him feel bad for too long,”
I suggested.
Hearing my words, Ella was silent for a moment as she glanced at Bix’s guilty face. She seemed slightly moved by my argument. “Alright, I will think about it,”
she finally spoke, but I could see she was not truly mad at Bix. She was just teaching him a lesson.
“Yes!”
he grinned from ear to ear, hugging her, “I knew you were kind hearted, Ella,”
he started, loading her up with sweet talk. Ella just rolled her eyes.
“Willow, you’re wonderful! You helped me again,”
Bix excitedly hugged me then. I hugged him back with a laugh, while he stretched out a hand pulling Ella into our hug. Ella couldn’t keep up her pouting for more than two seconds as she returned Bix’s hug.
At this point, I couldn’t help but feel as if I had returned to the past when we were best friends. This feeling was so good that I didn’t want to let go of this moment.
“What the hell is going on here?”
Reuben’s voice interrupted our moment. All three of us raised our heads to look over where Reuben, Oran and Walter were standing together frowning bitterly at the sight of us hugging each other.
“What’s the matter?”
I raised my brows at Reuben.
“Why are you giving such a big tight hug to to ”
Reuben glared, his eyes full of jealousy before he ripped me away from the hug I had been sharing with Ella and Bix and drew me into his chest. “Don’t get so touchy with other people.”
“Bix, you get over here!”
Oran growled, rushing over to Bix and pulling him away from Ella. “Why are you hugging those girls?”
“Woman, what’s with all the hugging?”
Walter domineeringly towered over Ella.
“Have you gone insane?!”
Ella, Bix, and I all said to these insane males at the same time.
The three of us looked at each other, before we turned in the opposite directions and left all three of the males in the front yard.
I glanced at Reuben once before entering the packhouse only to find him right behind me. He closed the door shut and pinned me against the nearby wall, “What what are you doing?”
I gasped up at his still jealous face.
“I need a hug too,”
he pouted as he just held me tightly. “Let me shower you with my scent,”
he stated, kissing my face, neck, and lips.
I giggled at the level of his jealousy, I kissed him back, “You are such a child, Reuben.”
“Yes, but only for you,”
he nipped my lips as he slid his hand under my top. “I am hungry, Willow,”
he grabbed my breast, teasing my nipple.
