Filed To Story: Goddess's Design His Fated Mate (Willow & Reuben)
Oran barked furiously at her, but she didn’t care.
“You ruined him years ago, now you’ve completely destroyed what little was left of him by forgetting him all together!”
She accused me, her eyes teary. “If you just wanted to disappear, then why the heck did you come back into his life? You should have just disappeared! You should never have come back here, Willow!”
She screamed at me.
Listening to her I broke into tears again, for some unknown reason my heart hurt and even Ceri cried in my mind. I could feel Reuben’s heartbreak. I could feel his pain that I caused. I really had ruined him.
“ENOUGH!”
Walter grabbed her arm and forced her to look at him. He had not known what Ella was going to say but he did not want her to continue, “I will kill you if you say another word to her!”
“Then kill me!”
Ella’s tears rolled down her cheeks, freezing Walter in place as she revealed her vulnerability for the first time. “You’re free to do whatever you like, and I’ll do what I should have done a long time ago,”
she said, looking into his eyes. “She has the right to know every little detail about Reuben’s life that has transpired over the last six years “
Her voice was barely above a whisper.
Walter’s eyes remained fixed on her tears, her uneven breathing mixed with soft sobs.
Ella tore her eyes away from him, gently pulling her arm from his grasp, then turned to me.
Our eyes locked as I started walking closer to her, “What did you mean when you said that I ruined his life?”
I stopped in front of her an arm’s length away and asked, “Tell me please,”
my voice broke.
Both of us looked at each other in tears as I realized that Reuben’s story had ended with me leaving the Emerald Bright Pack. He stood at the door to my abandoned house, frozen and heartbroken at my disappearance. This had just been the beginning of our story.
Reuben
She had forgotten me.
She was scared of me.
She hated my very existence.
Closing my eyes and spreading my arms out wide, letting my body fall back into the river behind me. With a splash, my body dropped and was pulled deeper under the water. As I remembered that day six years ago when I failed her completely. Could this be my punishment?
Standing in front of Willow’s house, I stared at the wide open door in a daze. No matter how much I tried I could no longer smell her scent or sense her presence. She was gone
My whole body was paralyzed, frozen in place until I realized that the mind-link I shared with Willow had been severed too. My heartbeat had grown slower as if I was close to my death and my mind that was as blank as a white sheet of paper was consumed by a panic attack when I realized exactly what Willow had done. She had rejected me
“No ”
I shook his head, my muscles finally easing enough to move as I walked towards the woods. How could she leave me? I could not imagine the next second without her.
“Willow ”
I had to stop her. I had to get her back. I had to be with her
She was both my destiny and destination. Without her I was nothing. If she was not here, where would I go? I had to follow her wherever she was going.
“Willow take me with you ”
mumbling under my breath, I increased my speed ready to dash into the woods only to be grabbed by two sets of hands and pinned to the ground.
“Catch him!!”
“No.. let me go let me go. My Willow she is leaving WILLOW!”
I roared, struggling in their hold as all of those hands forcefully twisted my arm behind my back.
“Don’t let him escape!”
Dad ordered his men as they tied my wrists behind my back.
“LET ME GO”
I growled, using every bit of my strength, I was close to breaking free before Dad’s Beta, Vin sent more men to pin me down.
“Don’t let him go or he will kill all of us!”
Vin ordered them.
“WILLOW!”
I yelled again and again staring at the woods hoping to catch a glimpse of her. I had to go after her. I believed with every fiber of my being that she could not have gone far. I could catch her. “AHHH .”
I shouted, summoning my all strength ready to shift into my wolf.
The warriors flinched at the sight of me half shifted. They broke into the cold sweats, looking at Dad for the next order.
Vin gazed at Dad’s emotionless gaze that was fixed on me, “you want to abandon your family, your pack, everything for that woman? It is not happening while I am alive.”
Vin ordered next, “Inject him before he shifts, quick!”
“WILLOW!!”
my face turned red as blood from all the screaming as my head was held down by two sets of hands before the injection made its way into my veins.
“WILLOW!!!”
I called her one last time before the injection worked its way into my system and I slowly slipped into the darkness. Even as my vision blurred I was still looking at the woods hoping to see her but she never came
I had lost her
“Lock him up in the underground prison on the edge of the territory. He will not be allowed to come out until he accepts his fate,”
dad ordered.
That was the last time we saw each other before the Alpha King came to visit me, when I made that deal in exchange for the cancellation of the imperial decree against Willow. At that time cancellation had seemed like an impossibility, the law refused to let her escape so I accepted a punishment in her stead, receiving a hundred whips with a silver whip for six consecutive months. It meant nothing to me as long as they did not go after Willow.
I was locked in a dark prison where life and death, day and night, days and months had no meaning for me, especially without her.
“No matter how much torture we meet out, he does not move a muscle or sign those papers!!”
