Filed To Story: Goddess's Design His Fated Mate (Willow & Reuben)
“Do you know what she said?”
a soft smile came over his lips that increased my heart beat at the thought of what Willow said.
Instead of replying, he pulled away from the wall and walked closer to me until we were face to face. “I thought that she would hate you. It turns out that she is a very special woman. She said ”
“I have only ever loved Reuben and I will die hating only him.”
My heart skipped a beat hearing Willow’s reply. I could not help but look down at her sleepy figure leaning against my chest as Walter remarked, “She rejected me back at the fashion show building yet I tried my luck with provoking you. As it turns out for her whether it’s love or hate there will only ever be you.”
Reuben
With a sleeping Willow sitting in my lap, I leaned back against the cold wall of the kitchen that I had slid down in surprise, my gaze never tearing away from her innocent face.
She only loved me and would die only hating me’
My heart drummed in my chest. I did not know whether I should be happy or sad. Happy that she loved only me and would not give even a chance to any other men. Or should I be sad that for her, me and my love were a painful part of her past. One that she would hate until her last breath
Our kiss from the previous night crossed my mind and I hugged her tightly. Willow, please don’t hate me,’ I mind-linked her even though she was sleeping. I just wanted her forgiveness but I knew I had a long way to go before I was granted absolution. My sins were not something that could be easily brushed aside but I did not want to give up otherwise I could lose Willow forever.
Walter sat across from me on the cold floor with a lit cigarette as he watched me the entire time.
“You seem to have a lot of regrets in life,”
he slowly pointed out. Refused to reply or even glance at him. “It reminds me of the day that I first saw her.”
When he said that I raised my eyes to look at him. He blew out a puff of smoke, his eyes were fixed on Willow as he began telling the story of what had transpired six years ago.
**
I had been born to kill werewolves. I had been born to kill them, to crush them under my heel without mercy or regret. That’s how I lived and I loved it. Blood and death had become an integral part of my life where I found peace and pleasure. That’s how I was raised, it was how I had spent twenty six years of my life, and how I believed I was going to continue on until my dying breath. Until the fateful day that my eyes fell on her.
The she-wolf that I was never meant to meet in this life.
A beautiful figure sitting alone in a classroom, engrossed in drawing something in her sketchbook. Looking all lonely yet extremely innocent. She looked like a life that was borned to be cherished. Seeing her felt like prior to that moment I had accomplished nothing in life, that all along I had been missing something. She unknowingly challenged my own feelings that I always believed to be satisfaction and pleasure. My heart tingled with this feeling, I came to the realization I was attracted to her. The attraction disgusted me. I was lost for a moment, to the point that I just wanted to get rid of her immediately.
“Hey,”
lifting her chin with the tip of my silver knife, I force her to look into my eyes. She was so lost in her drawing that she had not noticed my approach. Her drawing hand paused over her sketchbook. As soon as our eyes met, my heart skipped a beat at the sight of her beautiful blue eyes that were fearless despite having someone use a dagger to lift her chin.
Could it be that she was pretending to be brave? How could there be a werewolf that was not afraid of silver?
“How dare you enter my territory,”
I raised my eyebrow. She blinked long lashes as she continued to stare at me. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen but knew that her innocent face was just hiding a monster. A threat to all humans.
“I believe this college is not situated in hunter territory,”
she calmly spoke, never making any attempt to pull her exposed throat away from the knife.
“This entire country falls under my territory,”
I whispered, leaning closer to her face emphasizing the danger as I glared into her eyes, “including this fashion school where I sit on the trustee board.”
“So what?”
She raised a defiant eyebrow at me.
I could not help but chuckle at seeing this woman’ audacity, she was arguing with me when I could jab this knife through her throat at any moment.
“A werewolf has no place in my territory. Seeing you are new here, I am giving you a chance to flee before I change my mind and dig your grave right here,”
I glared down at her then added, “Get the fuck out of here and never let me see your face again.”
“I am not going anywhere,”
she countered, surprising me for a second.
“Care to repeat that so I can seal your fate?”
I slid the blade slightly further under her chin, letting her know the danger she was in, if she was mistaken about her current situation.
“I have paid my tuition fees to attend this college. I am here only to study and mind my own business. I don’t see any reason to withdraw from school,”
as she spoke, her fearless eyes never looked away from mine. Her boldness stole what little patience that I had left when dealing with this she-wolf. She was not scared of me. How dare she look me in the eye?!
I violently grabbed hair and yanked her closer to my face, “Fuck off before ”
I abruptly paused when the scarf that she had been wearing over her chest slid down, revealing her large pregnant belly.
I was so shocked that I froze for a long time. How could she be pregnant at such a young age? I would guess that she looked to be around twenty. My grip loosened on her hair subconsciously. Was this the reason she had not attacked or defended herself so far?
Confusion, surprise, disappointment, anger, and jealousy rose in my heart. It doubled when I could not find the source of my questionable emotions. Why was I angry and for what reason? Jealousy? That did not make sense.
I Immediately pulled away from her, I turned my heels to leave the classroom, frustrated with myself for some unknown reason. That she-wolf had really fucked with me without doing anything at all. I hated her! I hated her and I did not know why.
That day I left the college before my knife could taste her blood, she did not show up at the fashion school from that day on. I would visit that classroom daily only to find the desk and chair I had found her that day in empty. I knew I should have been glad that she had obeyed me or gotten scared for her life, but her disappearance left me more frustrated. I felt empty
Walter pasued as he ran his hand on his hair slowly watching Willow before he contiuned the story, “Then a week later, I spotted her exiting one of the lecture halls with a group of people. Immediately exiting the classroom, I rushed out only to watch as she disappeared into the crowd of students. After searching for her for half an hour I believed that it had just been my imagination. Until I saw her once again sitting in a small room that was a female cleaner’s room.
Curious to discover what she was doing there, I stepped into the room only to find her breastfeeding two small infants. I froze in place as the reason behind her disappearance was right in front of me. She was neither afraid of me nor had she run for her life, she had simply given birth then returned to her course work a week later.
The more surprising fact was that she had given birth to fraternal twins.
A few moments ago, I saw the female cleaner exiting this room with some cash. It turned out the cleaner was taking care of babies in the she-wolves’ absence. While I was lost in thought she had already sensed my presence in the room. “Why are you here?”
She questioned, hiding her children from my sight.
An evil grin formed on my lips, “did you think that you could hide them from me forever? How dare you bring them here? Don’t you know the rules?”
“I believe my babies are not disturbing anyone,”
she remarked, clutching them close to her chest.
Her over protective nature combined with the way that she had brought her children to college and hid them, clearly told the story that for some reason she could not leave them at home or let them be away from her for any length of time.
Another evil grin formed on my lips when I realized that she had run away. She had run away and was hiding from someone. She probably got knocked up by some random dude then was abandoned with those two little things that didn’t have a father. I picked up something in my hand to crush rather than that arrogant she-wolf.
“I wonder if you know that you have broken an important rule of my college,”
I walked closer to her in amusement. Her expression told me that she was afraid of being kicked out, “Sadly the fees that you spoke of the other day are no longer going to allow you to stay here, after your little decision to bring your babies to the college,”
