Filed To Story: Goddess's Design His Fated Mate (Willow & Reuben)
“WILLOW!”
I screamed at the top of my lungs, desperately when I couldn’t find her scent anywhere.
“REUBEN!”
Oran blocked my path with a shout. “WILLOW ISN’T HERE!”
“She’s not here?”
My mind went blank. “Where is she?”
I angrily grabbed his collar. “Where the hell is she?!”
I yelled.
A profound sadness overtook Oran’s eyes. “Willow is gone,”
he whispered.
“Gone?”
My heart nearly stopped beating, still grappling with the echo of her goodbye in my mind, hoping it was all a terrible dream. “Where did she go?”
My breath grew labored as my wolf lost control. “WHERE THE HELL DID SHE GO, LEAVING ME AGAIN?!”
I roared.
Oran looked at me helplessly, his face filled with sadness, guilt, and regret. “When we arrived at the Wade Moon Pack, everything was engulfed in flames. We found you, other than that Alpha Benjamin was half burnt but Willow was gone. Dark took her away with him,”
he revealed.
My grip on his collar tightened in shock. “He took her? That’s impossible ”
I violently shook my head. “Willow can’t leave me. I will go and find her ”
I declared, striding past Oran.
“You can’t find her, Reuben,”
Oran intervened once again.
“What the hell are you saying!”
I growled, my breath heavy and furious. “I will bring her back!”
With that I stormed out of my bedroom, only to halt when Oran spoke again. “You cannot find her because it has already been three days.”
My entire body froze in shock. Three days? Oran stepped in front of me and continued, “It took you three days to wake up, Reuben,”
his voice filled with sadness as he looked into my anguished eyes.
I collapsed to my knees, my entire world crumbling before my eyes. My soulmate, my Willow, had been gone for three days? While I had been sleeping?
“I love you ”
Her last confession reverberated in my mind, each word piercing my heart and bringing tears to my eyes. She had gone with Dark to save me. She sacrificed herself for me.
She entrusted our children to me.
She saved me and destroyed herself in the process
“WILLOW!!!”
I screamed with all the agony of my wolf, my heart shattering into a million pieces.
A single tear traced down my cheek, but I felt numb. Her cries, her shattered heart, her pain-all of it merged with mine, crushing my soul under the weight of our shared sorrow.
“Reuben,”
Oran’s hand rested on my shoulder as he knelt before me. “Stay strong for your children, who you could lose too,”
his voice was soft, filled with concern.
My face drained of all color, “What happened to my children?”
I demanded, my heart pounding with fear. Oran could only offer a helpless stare in response.
I rushed to Wyatt and Lori’s bedroom, my mind racing with dread. “Wyatt! Lori!”
I burst into the room, my voice tinged with panic.
“Reuben,”
Bix, who was checking on them, called out.
“What’s wrong with them? Why are they sleeping at this time?”
I questioned.
Bix’s eyes brimmed with sadness. “They have been in a coma for three days and nights,”
he revealed.
“What?”
My mouth fell open in shock. “How is that even ”
“It appears to be the work of Dark,”
Bix interrupted, his voice heavy with concern. “Neither doctors nor my powers have any effect on the children. The day that they briefly woke up-it wasn’t a miracle, it was a deception. Dark has done something to them, I suspect Mia played a part in bringing them to this state before that bitch died in the fire at Wade Moon,”
he explained, his tone grave.
My eyes turned red in anger, “that fucker, he not only stole my Willow but hurt my children.”
“Yes, he left nothing untouched or behind,”
Oran entered the room.
I closed my eyes, clenching my fists, “Is that old wolf still alive?”
