Filed To Story: Goddess's Design His Fated Mate (Willow & Reuben)
Then, a looming shadow fell over me from behind and panic gripped my heart. Glancing over my shoulder, I saw the man right behind me, his hand outstretched to grab me once again. Despite my desperate sprint, he seemed to close the distance effortlessly which was impossible for a normal werewolf.
Stretching my hand to grab my unconscious children in my arms, I tightly closed my eyes as I had no where to go and I got caught again, “Reuben ”
I whispered his name under my breath, holding onto his memory in my heart as my only solace in the face of being taken by another man.
Just as the man’s hand touched me, I felt the unmistakable presence of Reuben’s hand and his powerful aura surrounding me, even though I couldn’t see him. In the next moment, the man was thrown away from me as if struck by lightning, and I was pulled into an unknown darkness.
The shock of it all left me breathless, my heart ceasing to beat in my chest. Stuck between life and death, my mind stopped functioning. My eyes grew heavy as a tear rolled down from the corner of my eye. Was this the end for me?
Just as I was about to succumb to the darkness, I felt Reuben’s presence behind me. “Willow ”
His voice whispered into my ears, suddenly I was pulled back from the brink, from darkness into the light. Gasping for breath, I found myself in an unknown place, cradled in Reuben’s arms.
“Willow ”
Reuben’s face came into focus, his expression filled with worry as he repeated my name. He was covered in blood, but his eyes held a deep concern as he looked at me. Was I dreaming? How could Reuben be here, when just moments ago that man
My vision blurred and darkness encroached once more as I fainted in his arms.
Dark
Thrown away by the unexpectedly powerful energy surrounding Willow, I found myself crashing into hundreds of trees, my body tearing apart and every vein feeling as though it was being sliced open, causing blood to drip from my wounds. Eventually, my body landed heavily on the ground.
“What was that?”
I asked myself, raising my hand to bring it in front of my eyes. I stared at the badly burnt, torn, and bleeding hand, still feeling the remnants of the sacred energy that had ripped my Rose away.
“A Royal divine power?”
Surprise flashed in my eyes. Every wolf born in the royal family was blessed with a different divine power. I recalled this divine energy emitting from my Rose’s mate mark. That could only mean that
“So he is one of the royals ”
The corner of my lips rose into a furious yet amused smile. My Rose had been marked by a royal wolf. My large claws dug into the ground as my skin began to heal itself. Standing up on my half-bleeding legs, I stared at the torn piece of handkerchief tied around my hand. “You should not have escaped from me again, Rose. Especially with another man. I honestly thought of forgiving you, but now it is going to be really messy and bloody just like you like.”
I shifted my gaze from the handkerchief to the place that she had disappeared from. “had I heard her calling the name Reuben?”
Reuben
She fainted in my arms, lying naked appearing to have cried a lot out of fear. Her unimaginable terror still lingered on my skin, a sensation I had felt earlier through our mate bond. How could she be so scared of him? And why? I stared at her closed eyes and gently touched her soft cheek with my bloody hand.
I sensed another man’s touch on her, even though I couldn’t detect even the slight trace of his scent or aura on her. Glancing at her arm where she tightly clutched our unconscious children, her body shaking and cold, I clenched my fists at my side barely holding Dex back.
“Reuben ”
the Alpha King, who witnessed everything, called me, his voice full of surprised disbelief. “What the hell did you just do? You wasted your divine energy on this woman ”
I quietly wrapped Willow in my coat, threw her over my shoulder, and grabbed the children with my other arm before standing up and turning to peer over at the King. “She is not just any woman, She is my soulmate. She is mine, so when faced with a choice between her and using my power, saving my divine energy holds no value to me.”
“What the hell are you saying?”
he gasped. “Have you lost your fucking mind?!”
“I haven’t lost it, I was born this way,”
I replied, shifting my gaze to the wall then back to uncle. “And to answer your question, I will never give up on my mate. I understand that you want to protect your Kingdom and throne, and I get it. Be that as it may, I don’t want anyone interrupting my or my mate’s life when I am not getting in anyone else’s way. From this moment on, anyone that tries to hurt my mate, will instantly become my enemy. No matter who they may be ”
I declared, turned around, and left with my mate and children.
The King watched my vanishing figure with wide eyes. “That boy has gone insane. He doesn’t fear death. If that girl died or was taken away by that evil chasing after her, then I don’t know what he would do Louis,”
he stated, turning his attention to the wall. Behind the wall, a figure sat smoking the entire time.
“Tell me something I don’t know,”
Alpha Louis put out the cigarette and closed his eyes. “I wish I could go back in time ”

Without caring about traffic laws or anything else for that matter, I drove at full speed from the palace to the Emerald Bright Pack. The brakes were close to failure, but I couldn’t afford to slow down. My eyes continuously darted to Willow, who was shaking and behaving strangely in a way I had never seen before. Meanwhile, Wyatt and Lori were scarily motionless, as if they were
“Fuck!!”
I slammed my fist into the steering wheel, angry at myself. If I had not left for the palace then all of this would not have happened. If I was with Willow, that fucker would not have
As soon as my car entered the parking lot, Oran and Bix, who were waiting for my arrival, sprang into action. The moment I stopped the car, they opened the back doors on either side and swiftly pulled Wyatt and Lori into their arms.
“We are taking children to the hospital,”
they said over their shoulders’ having already turned towards the hospital.
I quickly opened the passenger door and pulled out the extremely cold body of Willow as she continued shivering in my arms all the way to the hospital where doctors were already waiting for me.
“Quickly check her!”
I ordered, placing Willow on a hospital bed.
The senior doctor glanced at Willow,panic crossed his eyes, “Quickly prepare to stabilize her condition!”
he ordered as everyone scattered to complete their assigned tasks. I watched everything in panic.
Everything had grown abnormal about her. Her whole body was drenched in sweat and she clenched the mattress scratching it with her long claws. Ceri seemed to have lost complete control, not even Dex could make any connection with her. My heart shook at the sight of her, “What’s happening to her?”
I demanded walking closer to the doctor.
“Alpha, please, I request your cooperation and that you trust in us. Please, leave the Luna in our care,”
he pleaded as he hurried to attend to Willow. I caught one last glimpse of Willow through the gap in the door before it closed in front of me.
Dex had already lost his composure at the sight of Willow’s condition when we brought her back to the palace. With the door closed, I couldn’t hear or see her, which only added to my agitation. The thought of breaking down the door and holding Willow safely in my arms consumed my mind. She was surrounded by strangers. What if she got scared? I should be there with her. I raised my hand, ready to punch the door until it broke, but I stopped myself. Instead I punched the wall next to the door a few times to release my pent-up anger.
I could not fucking loose my mind when I had to take care of children too. My children They were alone
I turned on my heel and rushed to check on Wyatt and Lori in the children’s ward.
Oran and Bix were standing next to their beds as doctors checked on my children. “How are my children?”
I questioned the doctors as I hurried over to their beds. Their body temperature seemed normal, but their eyes were still closed.
The doctors quickly rushed to my side and informed me, “Everything is normal, Alpha. They are breathing, their heartbeat, and brain activity is all normal. They seem to have fainted due to some kind of shock.”
