“I love you Reuben,” Ella confessed, stabbing a sword right through my entire

being.

It was a living nightmare to witness Reuben and Ella k*ssing first hand. Her b*dy

fiattened against his, l*ps pressed firmly against his. All of my strength, sanity,

and emotional control immediately abandonedin that instant causing the

tray to fall from my hand, leavingmiserably smothered. Unable to bear

seeing them together, I fied in the direction of my room.

“WILLOW!” Reuben yelled, chasing after me.

I put my hand over my mouth to stifie any noises that might escape, my

breathing uneven, and my head was spinning, unable to forget what I had seen.

They were engaged, soon to be married. Kissing and touching was expected, but

a sense of disgust. had risen in my very being. Reuben’s l*ps…they were the

sl*ps that he had pressed against mine countless times in the past when

we had been together then once again. over the past two days. I was the only

one that had a claim over them all this tbut now they had been touched by

another woman.

“WILLOW!” When I did not stop, Reuben chasedupstairs. Not wanting to see

hist face, I just ran inside my room wanting to lock myself in. Before I had a

chance to do it,

Reuben pushed the door hard, forcing it open.

“Why are you running?” he charged atgrowling furiously, triggering my fiight

response. “Don’t do that with me, Willow!” He grabbed my arm.

“Get out!” I screamed, pushing him away before he could get any closer to me.

I did not want him to see how broken my heart was. I felt betrayed once again,

event though I knew that it was wrong forto feel this way. When I discovered

the information about Ella being Reuben’s fiancee and their impending

wedding, I had prepared for worse when moving into the packhouse with

Reuben. I had turned my heart to stone so that unnecessary feelings would not

get in the way as this journey was supposed to end at the sacred cave and

rejection. However, witnessing that k*ss between. the two of them was more

than enough to steal all the strength that I had managed to accumulate over the

past six years.

“Listen to me,” he begged, grabbingtightly by the arms.

“Let go!!” I screamed, struggling in his grasp.

“It is not what you think!” Reuben’s voice rose as he pulledcloser to his

chest. He looked into my eyes with his wolf’s eyes and tried to clear up the

matter, “Whatever you saw was not true. I did not know Ella was going to k*ss

me. I also did not k*ss her back. There is nothing between us…

“She loves you!” I cut him off, tears threatened to spill over my lashes. I

clutched at hist chest, dug my nails in and whispered, “Ella… loves you…”

He paused, staring atas our emotions, specifically my pain entangled. He

loosened. his grip on my arms, only to sink a hand into m

hair, and pullcloser to himself. So what if she loves me?” he asked in a very

deep voice.

yes widened at his words. “How could you take Ella’s confession so lightly? She

even k*ssed you…” I choked on my words, unable to say more. He…he brushed

that k*ss. aside like…it was a normal thing. Or could it be that it was not the first

tthe two of them had…after all they had been together for six years. The

way Ella had confessed to him with a k*ss it did not seem like it was her first

tdoing something like that. Another blow was delivered to my wounded

heart, I was unable to hold back my tears any longer.

“Willow…” Reuben ran his thumb under my eye where my tears fiowed freely.

“Does it really matter who loveswhen you are the only woman that I have

ever loved?” he whispered, looking deep into my eyes as if he were reading my

mind. “Does it really matter, hm?”

More tears rolled down my cheeks at my confession, “What do you mean?” my

voice shook.

“Nothing else matters when we love each other, right?” He lifted my chin and

k*ssed my tears away. “Reuben has always loved Willow and will continue to

only love her until his dying breath,” he whispered, wrappingin his arms.

“Can’t you trustthis once?” I closed my eyes, the tears continuing to escape

as I listened to his frantic heartbeat, Trust…that was something that I had done

all my life. That was something I had put completely into only my soulmate until

that one word turned into a form of abuse.

“I can’t forget…” my voice was barely above a whisper. “I can’t forget what I

saw…” Reuben pulled away froma little to look at me, “I can’t forget you and

Ella…” I could not bring the word k*ssing to my l*ps.

“So that’s your answer?” With our gazes locked, I watched Reuben’s heartbreak

the sas mine. The only difference was I could shade tears while he…he was

drowning in them yet did not shed a single one. The last two days of our being

together had been a dream

that was coming to an end in this way.

“Reuben,” Oran’s voice broke into the room as he stopped in the doorway at the

sight of Reuben and I. He read the room right away, understanding that this was

not a pleasant situation and said in a lowered tone, “We have to leave for the

Alpha meeting right now,” before he immediately turned to leave.

Reuben never broke eye contact withthe entire time. Once Oran left he

loosened his grip on my hair and b*dy then took a step back, his gaze fixed on

the tears still rolling down my cheeks unchecked. A pregnant silence fell

between us, the only sound heartbeats echoing in the room as he stared at me

for a couple more seconds with dim green eyes before he turned to follow

Oran.

Watching his back vanish in silence left my heart cold and lonely. My legs could

not supportanymore and I sank to the fioor. The sound of Reuben’s car

driving away from the front yard was the last thing that my ears registered.

Sitting alone in my room,

I just closed my eyes and sobbed.
