I wiped her tears and looked deeper into her eyes lovingly, “Your Reuben ”
I whispered.
She bit her lip and looked up at me with teary eyes, “Don’t touch me ”
she whispered, shaking like a dry leaf. “You scare me.”
“What?”
My heart dropped into my stomach as I stared at her in shock. “Willow, you are not scared of me. Look at me carefully, it’s me Reuben,”
I cupped her cheeks with both hands.
“But I am no longer able to recognize you,”
a fresh tear rolled down to her cheek. “I have forgotten your eyes, your smile, and your face,”
she stated, her voice shaking.
“Willow what are you saying?”
my eyes widened.
“All I can see is his mismatched eyes, evil smile, and his face,”
she confessed.
Hearing the impossible statement that had just come out of her mouth I stared at her with wide eyes. She she was unable to
Suddenly she took a step away from me. “Willow ”
I panicked, trying to reach out for her.
“DON’T TOUCH ME!”
she screamed in terror, her whole body shaking a she cried loudly, “if you touch me again ”
she raised her claws and put it next to one of the throbbing veins in her neck, “I will kill myself
As she said that, I froze in place, staring at her nails dangerously close to her neck. Her tears continued to wet her eyes as she looked at me fearfully but also with guilt.
I stared at her, watching as she lost herself while my own eyes grew damp. With a large step, I drew closer to her, pushed her hand away from her neck, twisting it behind her back, and pulled her into a hug.
She once again started to scream but I hugged her tighter and whispered into her ear. “It’s okay if you forgot me, Willow. It’s okay, if you don’t want me to touch you. It’s okay, if you want me to disappear. But ”
I paused and buried my face in her hair, “Never forget There is someone who will love you even when you have forgotten him. There is someone who is always waiting for you even if he can not touch you. There is always someone who is willing to disappear if it is the only way to have you ”

Amidst the foul stench permeating the cell that shared with common criminals, I indulged in a cheap cigarette, borrowed from a fellow detainee, paying no heed to Beta Ken’s scrutiny as he stood on the outside of the cell.
“Your bail has been granted. You’re free to leave,”
announced a police officer as he unlocked the cell. Retrieving my jacket from the floor, I rose and sauntered out of the police station, closely trailed by Beta Ken.
“Alpha,”
he called out. Alpha stop.”
Ignoring him, I inquired, “Did you bring your car? This is yours, right?”
I reached out to open the door of a red car.
“Sky!”
Beta Ken aggressively slammed the door shut. “What the hell do you think you’re doing, wasting your life like this?”
“Why do you care?!”
I growled, pushing his head away then attempted once more to grab the door that he swatted closed again.
“I care because you’re like a son to me! You grew up right in front of my eyes, I can’t bear to see you destroying your life like this. If you don’t care about yourself, then at least consider your father’s feelings before doing anything,”
he began his lecture, which I had no interest in. However, what he said next made me freeze in place.
“You have no idea how distraught the Alpha was when he received that call from the police station, saying his son had been arrested for assault due to his involvement in a bloody fight. That wasn’t even the worst part? It was with humans! The Alpha had to bribe all of those humans to get you out of prison! After losing the pack while gambling, I thought you decided to lead a decent life and focus on your future? So why are you once again walking down the wrong path? Another father would’ve kicked you out after you gambled away his house and land, but the Alpha loves you so much that he sent me to the police station to get you out. Can’t you see his love and appreciate it?”
“LOVE?! ALL HIS LOVE IS FAKE JUST LIKE HIM!”
I threw my jacket on the ground with a growl.
Beta Ken stared at me in shock. “What the hell are you saying about your father, Sky?!”
He grabbed my arm. “Your father raised you alone after your mother’s death. He was both a mother and father to you, he loves you more than his own life, and has never given up on you no matter how many mistakes you have made. How can you doubt his love? How can you call him fake?”
“If his love isn’t fake and he loves me more than anything, then tell me why the heck he’s sending me abroad?!”
I demanded.
Beta Ken’s expression immediately dropped as his face lost all color. “How do you know about that?”
The corner of my lips twisted bitterly. “Did you really think I’d never find out?! Dad wants to get rid of me, sending me abroad is the easiest way to do it. I’ve known all along, I’ve just been waiting for him to tell me but he never planned to. Soon enough, he’ll just throw a ticket in my face and ship me off!”
“No you misunderstand,”
Beta Ken protested.
I cut him off sharply, “When dad no longer wants me and I have to live a life on my own, then why does he care how I live or what I do? Just leave me alone!”
I yelled, opening the car door and sliding into the driver’s seat.
“Sky, wait! You’ve misinterpreted everything!”
Beta Ken desperately tapped his hand on the window. “The Alpha is sending you abroad for your own good. He’s doing all of this to protect you!”
“You don’t make sense, Beta Ken! What is he protecting me from?!”
I growled, starting the engine. “I’m done with dad and I’m done with you always taking his side! Now I’ll do what I should have done a long time ago!”
With that, I drove away at full speed.
