she hesitantly informed as she continued to gauge my expression.
“It’s okay, I don’t have any problem with that,”
I gave her a small smile. Ella was not someone in the pack that they could ignore, so obviously she would be invited as well. At the same time we were in the same pack and encounters could not be avoided.
“That’s great!”
Mia’s face lit up. “Honestly, I can not bear the tension between you and Ella. It scares me. My poor heart is too weak to handle it. I just want to dance, drink, and enjoy your welcome home party. So, please don’t change your mind about the party no matter what happens and break my heart!!”
She held my hand dramatically with damp eyes.
I rolled my eyes at her theatrics, “I understand, drama queen. I promise even if there is a storm I will come to the party,”
I swore as we both laughed at our own stupidity.
“Then I am leaving,”
she got up from the other side of the room, “I am glad you are perfectly fine now. The Alpha took really good care of you. I wonder what he did to keep you alive during that steamy night?”
she smiled evilly.
“Nothing happened. Keep your mind out of the gutter!”
“Really? Then why is your face so red?”
she smirked.
My hands immediately flew up to touch my cheeks that were flaming hot. “That’s only because the room is hot,”
I reasoned.
Mia laughed, “Alright, I am not going to tease you anymore. I am going home,”
she turned to exit the room. I smiled, watching her leave until she stopped in the door frame and turned to me, “Willow, how did you thank the Alpha?”
“Thank him for what?”
I cocked my brows.
“Girl! Don’t you know that he ran to my house in the middle of the night to get me to come check on you the night you were sickest?!”
My eyes widened, “Reuben came to get you that night?”
“Yes, I was absolutely petrified to see the Alpha at the door too. The Alpha doesn’t show up at any pack member’s house but he did when your condition had worsened that night. I checked on you and suggested he use some home remedies to get your body temperature back up. He spent the whole night feeding you medicine, checking on you, and warming you.
“What’s the matter Ella?”
I hastily entered the office.
“It is about the treaty papers that we have to review together,”
she explained.
“Whatever it is, get on with it quickly,”
I took the papers from her hand as she pointed out the problems. I answered all of her concerns and pointed out the part that I did not agree with before returning the papers to her. However, she remained standing beside me in the same position. I looked up at her to find her staring at me.
“Is there something else?”
I raised my brows.
She smiled softly, “Yes, actually Alpha Jones asked me out for a date.”
I cocked my brows, “Why are you telling me?”
“I thought you would want to know,”
her voice shook slightly.
“Why would I? Date whomever you wish,”
I remarked, straightening some of the papers on my desk.
Ella suddenly took a step closer to me, “I thought you would be jealous.”
“Why would I?”
I frowned at her strange behavior.
“I am your fiance,”
she remarked, suddenly touching her lips to mine. My eyes widened, I was totally caught off guard for a second. “I love you Reuben,”
she confessed.
“What the fuck!”
I snapped, pushing her away. Why did she kiss me all of a sudden? That was when the sound of a cup dropping attracted my attention to the door.
“Willow ”
my heart was in my throat at the sight of her standing there. She took a few steps back before turning and running out of there.
Fuck! She saw Ella kissing me! She saw everything yet misunderstood it all!
“So what if she loves me?”
I grabbed her hair and pulled her face closer to mine. She looked at me with wide teary eyes, feeling betrayed. “Willow ”
I ran my thumb under her eye where her tears flowed freely. “Does it really matter who loves me when you are the only woman that I love?”
I whispered, looking deep into her eyes.
More tears rolled down her cheeks at my confession. “What do you mean?”
her voice shook.
“Nothing else matters when we love each other, right?”
I lifted her chin and kissed her tears away, “Reuben has always loved Willow and will continue to only love her until his dying breath,”
