My hand moved slightly out of panic in his warm hold when he mentioned Dark. I nodded, placing my trust in him. “My mom asked me to hide my surname from the world at the last moment of her life,”
I finally revealed.
“Why would she ask that?”
he inquired.
“I still don’t know, but I followed my mom’s dying wish and never disclosed my surname to anyone until now. Other than Alpha Benjamin, who was my parents’ friend, no one knew about my surname or me,”
I explained.
“I thought you were an orphan and that you were captured by those rogues then hauled back to that trafficking ring when you were living in the woods?”
he raised an eyebrow in confusion. It was what I had told him when we met.
“It’s true that I was living in the woods, but only for two months. Before that, I had parents, I used to live with them before they died,”
I explained.
“They died? How?”
he asked.
“Honestly, I don’t remember. I’ve forgotten everything from the first fourteen years of my life, including my parents’ names and even their faces.”
“What?”
He frowned. “How could you forget?”
I took a deep breath before continuing, “I don’t know. The only thing I remember is when my mother asked me not to reveal my surname to the world, to live in hiding, and run away as far away as I could. I had nowhere to go, so I was hiding in the woods. I was captured by the trafficking ring while chasing a rabbit. Then I met you, when I left the Emerald Bright Pack six years ago, I met Alpha Benjamin who recognized me. He was best friends with my dad, so after finding me after so many years, he took me in as his adopted daughter,”
I revealed everything to Reuben.
He was silent for a moment, lost in thought. “You said your mother asked you to run away. Do you have any idea or even any memory of who you should be hiding from?”
he inquired, I could clearly sense where he was going with his line of questions.
“Do you mean that my mother was asking me to hide from Dark?”
I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.
Reuben nodded. “Honestly, I think so. This guy seems to be connected to your past, and if I’m not mistaken, all these mysterious attacks and fires that are occurring in different packs are the result of his search for you. All this time, he’s been looking for you within those werewolf packs ”
“I got caught because he found Wyatt and Lori,”
I finished the sentence, though I highly doubted it.
He nodded, “I think so.”
I fell into silence, his words bringing back memories of our encounter in the park, sending shivers down my spine. “Willow,”
Reuben brushed his thumb over the back of my hand and asked, “Tell me what exactly happened when you met him. Tell me everything, what he looks like and how he talks. I need to know every detail about him,”
he requested.
I nodded and recounted the entire story, including his appearance, mismatched eyes, and his calling me Rose. After hearing me out, Reuben took a deep breath, his expression far from pleasant. “So he’s someone with immense strength compared to a normal werewolf, some mysterious powers, and he wants to take you away,”
he summarized the main points of the story. “However, I wonder why he didn’t attack the Emerald Bright Pack in search of you when he already had your information from the children,”
Reuben murmured.
“Actually, I have always instructed the children to keep the Emerald Bright Pack and your name a secret from everyone, so that they could lead a normal school life with other children. So, I believe that when he asked the children about their father’s name or pack name, they must have said they were from Britain or Wade Moon Pack,”
I explained.
“So you mean to say he doesn’t know about me or where you currently are?”
Reuben questioned.
“I believe so, because I didn’t tell him who the children’s father was. He was furious with me for losing my virginity to you, being marked by you, and giving birth to our children,”
I explained.
Reuben’s expression immediately changed, his aura darkening. “What is the meaning of this?”
Reuben’s reaction was so alarming that I hesitated before revealing, “He called me his soulmate.”
Reuben
My fist pummeled the punching bag non stop, I hit it harder than the previous punch everytime as Willow’s words echoed in my mind again and again.
He was furious with me for losing my virginity to you, being marked by you, and giving birth to our children.’
He called me his soulmate.
SHE HAS ONLY ONE SOULMATE! AND THAT IS ME!!”
Dex roared in my mind.
“AAHH!”
Roaring, I hit the punching bag so hard that it split open and sand started to spill down on the ground.
SHE IS ONLY MINE!!’ I shouted, breathing harder and aggressively.
Oran and Bix, who were also in the middle of a workout in the gym with me, focused their attention on me together. “What’s the matter, Reuben?”
Oran questioned.
“Something is not right,”
I murmured, aggressively ripping the hand wrappings off of my hands.
“About?”
Bix asked.
“About that fucker Dark,”
I turned to face both have them.
