Reuben
Around midnight, the drizzle that had been hanging over the pack intensified
into heavy rain. The cold wind crept through the window, opening and closing
the curtain. in front of it, as I remained engrossed in the document in my hand,
unfazed by the lightning and thunder outside. While the entire pack slumbered,
I found myself unable to sleep, instead I delved into work.
Six years ago, Willow had not run away alone. She stole my heart, mind, soul,
and sleep. I was lucky to catch a few hours of sleep, and whenever I dreamed, it
was always about her. Now that I had finally found her, I could not get even a
wink, as my wolf was agitated by the distance separating us. The thought of her
staying in someone else’s pack and hwhile ignoringwas unbelievably
nerve-wracking.

Clenching my fists, I tightly closed my eyes, attempting to rein in the urges of my
side that sought to act upon thoughts that I shouldn’t even entertain. A couple
of seconds later, just as I gained control over myself, my entire being was struck
by a familiar sensation. My eyes shot wide open and my wolf cto full
attention in my mind.
I stood up, rushed out of my study then out of the packhouse at lightning
speed. The growing feeling inside ledout into the heavy rain, soaking my
entire b*dy in at second, but all my attention was focused on the figure
emerging from the woods ahead.
A slender figure with a beautiful face with clothes that were soaked through
cinto view, causing my heartbeat to quicken.
‘Mate, Dex’s voice was barely above a whisper in my head, he was completely
mesmerized by Willow, just like me.
A wolf guarding the borders mind-linked me, “Alpha, a she-wolf that fits the
description you have been giving us for the past 6 years has intruded into the
pack just now.”
‘I know…” We drew closer to each other until we were merely a hand’s breadth
away from each other. That was when she locked eyes with me, my heart began
to race like crazy. She was not a figment of my imagination. She was really
standing there in front
of me.
“Why did you do it?” she asked, her l*ps trembling from the cold and glistening
with raindrops.
“I did nothing.” I replied, meeting her slightly reddened eyes, rimmed with rain-
soaked
lashes.
“Liar!” she snapped, lifting her hand as if to slap me, only to hesitate halfway

when I neither evaded nor attempted to stop her.
“Hitif you want,” I stepped closer until we were inches apart. “But my
answer will remain the same,” I whispered.
Willow’s blue eyes snapped with fire as she looked deep into mine. She lightly
bit her l*p, knowing that I wasn’t one to hide my actions, be they good or bad. If
I did something, I’d admit to it without hesitation. Slowly, she lowered her hand.
“Then is it a lie that you hold the papers for the Wade Moon Pack?” Her voice
was soft, but her eyes were filled with sparks.
“I do have them,” I confessed.
“Even though just now you said you did nothing,” she frowned.
“Cwith me,” I grabbed her hand and started leading her inside.
“Where?” she panicked.
“Inside the packhouse.”
“I am not going in there,” she protested, trying to break free from my grasp.
“Whatever you want to say, say it out here!” She stubbornly stood her ground. I
stopped and stared
at her.
“I don’t mind talking out here in the rain, but I can’t guarantee how long I’ll be
able to control myself,” I stated, my gaze drifting down her b*dy. Confused,
Willow followed my line of sight, only to realize her wet clothes were clinging to
her figure, outlining her curves and bra. Alarmed, she quickly adjusted her
clothes with her free hand then looked atwith wide eyes and a fiushed face.
“Let’s go,” I tore my gaze away from her and resumed walking toward the
packhouse. This time, she followedquietly. Upon entering the packhouse, it
was dark, with no moonlight filtering in. When we reached my study, I stopped
at the doorstep and gestured for Willow to enter first.
She stood still for a few moments, seemingly contemplating something.
Eventually, she lifted her legs and walked into the room. My eyes traced her
slender, wet figure as I followed suit, closing the door behind me.
The click of the door locking resonated in the silent room, drawing Willow’s
immediatel attention. The two of us were alone in the packhouse, and her
expression conveyed her awareness of this fact.
“Why did you bringhere?” she asked as I took slow steps toward her side.
“Why do
you
think?” I halted, facing her, my hands buried in my pockets.

Chapter 12
Unconsciously, my gaze fixated on a few droplets of water that cascaded from
her wet hair down to her glistening chest. A surge of heat shot throughas I
found myself captivated by her allure.
Willow’s l*ps parted slightly, sensing my intense scrutiny. “Reuben…” she said
my name, drawing my attention back to her face. “Why did you… take over Wade
Moon Pack?” She asked as she drew closer to me.
“What did I do?” I raised an eyebrow.
“You know exactly what I mean. The Wade Moon Pack, it’s under your control
now,” she pointed out, her tone laced with anger. “Why did you claim it? Why?”
she demanded.
I stared at her for a moment before reaching for a tablet on my desk and
picking it up.
“Here,” I selected a video and handed it to her.
“What’s this?” she hesitated but took it.
“Footage from a werewolf gambling house,” I explained. As the words left my
mouth, Willow’s eyes widened in surprise.
She immediately played the video, it revealed Sky gambling with a group of
shady individuals. He continued playing, cursing, and growing increasingly
frustrated as he lost every penny. Eventually, he was left with nothing,
completely broke. He engaged in a fight and eventually wagered the Wade Moon
Pack papers in a final gamble, only to lose them as well.
Willow’s hand trembled as she watched the video. “Sky was drunk…” Her grip
tightened on the tablet. “He gambled away years of his father’s hard work like it
was…” Since Sky was the heir to the Wade Moon Pack, his signature held legal
weight, it meant the pack was now truly no longer in Alpha Benjamin’s
possession.
“Sky toldthat Wade Moon now belongs to the Emerald Bright Pack,” she
murmured, puzzled.
I retrieved the tablet from her hand and handed her a paper that legally stated
that the Wade Moon Pack now belonged to Emerald Bright.
“How is this possible?” Willow looked up atin surprise.
“Later that day, I bought Wade Moon from that criminal wolf,” I slowly took the
paper from her hand.
Her eyes grew wide in surprise, “Why did you acquire it in the first place?”
I took a step closer to her and lifted her chin up, “Because I wanted to.”

Willow’s eyes shook in realization. “Did you… do it because I am staying there…”
I released her chin and stated sternly, “Since you are here, inform Alpha
Benjamin that

“No! It’s their home. Where will they go?” Willow’s face turned pale.
“Why should I care?” I raised my emotionless eyes to her. “Those that protest
will be taken care of,” I added.
“No, you can’t do that, Reuben!” She stepped closer to me.
“Why can’t I? I am the legal owner of the Wade Moon Pack land,” I stated.
“Nyour price! I’ll buy it back,” her eyes showed determination.
I chuckled darkly, triggered by her love for the Wade Moon Pack. She was ready
to offer up years of her savings and fortune for a stranger?! My wolf growled in
my mind as 1 replied, “Then payten times the original price.”
“Ten times?” Her face turned white in horror.
“That’s the amount I paid to obtain those pack lands,” I revealed. Willow’s eyes
blazed at the additional papers on my desk then back toover the obscene
amount I had paid.
“You paid ten times the land’s original price just to get Wade Moon land?” Her
eyes were perfectly round in shock as she stared at me.
“Yes, ten times. Payback.”
“Are you insane? Where am I going to get such a sum?”
I raised my hand and pulled her closer to my chest. “Pay it or accept the
inevitable, Willow,” I whispered close to her face.
The room fell into dead silence as Willow stared into my eyes with slightly teary-
eyes. “Why are you doing this, Reuben?” her voice shook in defeat. Her eyes
were full of self blame.
“You know why, Willow,” I caressed her cheek and brushed my thumb across her
lower. l*p.
Her heart rate quickened with our close proximity and she closed her eyes
briefiy before asking, “What do you want fromin exchange for Wade Moon?”
“Move into Emerald Bright Pack,” I wrapped my arms around her slender waist,
pulling
her closer to me.
