Chapter 73
Willow
In the afternoon, I had set the dining table with all of Wyatt and Lori’s favorite
foods. Since we had cto Emerald Bright pack, they had learned to eat food
made by omegas, which was a good development in their habits, but they still
craved the food made by me. Just as I finished with the salad and juice, both of
their voices echoed throughout the pack house. “Mommyyyyy…”
I immediately turned to look at the door, where they both dashed inside the
dining room, following my scent. I immediately knelt down and spread my arms
to hug both of them tightly.
“Mummy, you’re finally back!” they exclaimed together excitedly, hugging me
back.
“Yes, I’m back to my babies,” I smiled, squeezing both of their soft little figures
tightly againstto calm my heart after losing them in the restaurant in Miami.
Only I knew how scared I was when I was taken and my children were left
behind alone. Thankfully, Reuben showed up in time, and they were back in safe
hands. They were living and going to kindergarten well in my absence without
knowing any mess that was so good to know, “Did you miss mommy?” I k*ssed
both of their foreheads, hardly holding back my emotions.
“Yes, we missed mommy a lot,” Wyatt spread his short arms to showhow
much he missed me.
I laughed, rubbing his head. “Mommy, missed you two too,”
“Mommy, where is daddy?” Lori blinked her big watery eyes.
As she asked about Reuben, my eyes slowly went to the stairs. Since Reuben
broughtinside the packhouse, he had been in his office with Oran and Bix.
He had askedto stay at home, so I did not know what was happening
outside or what happened to Alpha Adam or Ella. However, after what took
place outside, the whole pack had turned silent, as if everyone was dead. It was
an obvious reaction from others after seeing Reuben’s dark side.
“Daddy is busy upstairs with Uncle Oran and Uncle Bix,” I glanced back at my
children and smiled. “He will cto meet you soon. For now, go and wash your
hands and change clothes. I have made tasty food for both of you,” I grinned.
They nodded and obediently left for their bedroom upstairs. Later, when they
returned to the dining room, they started tellingabout their kindergarten
activities while eating, and I sat there listening to them while waiting for Reuben
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtso we could eat together.
“Mummy, how was your vacation?” Lori excitedly asked.
“Vacation?” I blinked.
“Yeah, daddy said he couldn’t join us in Miami, so he was taking you for the
vacation. How was it? Did you have fun?” she explained what Reuben had told
both of them while dropping them back at the pack that day.
The memories of our running, chasing, and steamy night crossed my mind,
causing my ears to turn red. I cleared my throat a little and nodded, “Yeah, it
was fun.” My cheeks turned red and hot, and I quickly grabbed a glass of water
to calm myself. He was really a good liar and it helpedthis time.
After the children finished their food and left to play, I continued waiting for
Reuben for lunch. However, even after three hours had passed, he did not come
downstairs. Realizing he was busy, I decided not to mind-link him and went to
my bedroom to fold my laundry. That’s when I heard impatient footsteps
approaching my bedroom, and the next moment, Mia burst into the room.
“Oh my G od. You’re finally back, Willow!” Mia exclaimed, pullinginto a tight,
happy hug. “You’re really good at running away and playing with Alpha’s heart!”
She teasingly blamed me.
“I’m sorry to worry you again,” I said, pulling away from her a little and giving
her an apologetic smile.
“It’s alright, my dear Luna!” She grinned evilly, glancing at the mark on my n*ck.
My hand instinctively moved to the mark on my n*ck, and I felt my cheeks heat
up as she addressedwith a title that seemed far beyond my reach. “Stop it.
Don’t callthat,” I protested.
“Girl! What do you mean, stop?” she exclaimed dramatically, pullingto sit on
the bed with her. “It’s not just me; the whole pack is now calling you Luna!”
“Really?” I gasped.
“Yeah, everyone saw that Ella and the Alpha are no longer engaged. The Alpha
has marked you, and he brought you to this pack house. That’s enough for any
sane person to understand your position in the Alpha’s heart and in this pack,”
she explained.
I bit my lip, feeling a mixture of panic and restlessness swirling in my heart. I
never imagined I’d have to face such a situation in my life. My goal was simply to
be with Reuben from the start, nothing more. Growing up with a lot of
uncertainty, I had learned to be content with small things and not to harbor
grand dreams.
“Why do you look so nervous? If it were any other girl, she’d be on cloud nine,”
Mia laughed, clearly seeing through my façade.
managed a nervous, barely audible laugh in response. “I just… I’m not ready for
this much change, Mia. It’s all happening so suddenly. I mean…” I trailed off,
unable to articulate my feelings, but she nodded in understanding.
“I know. You’re not prepared for such big changes, but you were destined for
this path from the beginning, Willow,” she said, smiling and squeezing my hand.
“When the goddess paired you with the Alpha, she had big things in mind for
you.”
Her words carried a simple yet profound meaning, weighing heavily on me. I just
gave a slight nod, my mind swirling with too many thoughts and emotions to
fully grasp at that moment.
“By the way, it seems the misunderstanding between you and the Alpha has
been resolved. What are your plans now?” There was a hint of curiosity in Mia’s
eyes.
“Yes, the misunderstanding has been resolved, but there’s been a six-year gap
in our relationship, and the definition of it has changed too. There are a lot of
things I need to figure out, and without them, I can’t fully accept this reality. I’d
feel like something was missing between Reuben and me. That’s why I’ve
decided to take it slowly,” I explained, pouring out what was in my heart.
Mia nodded in understanding even though she could not grasp the full meaning
behind my words. In reality, I wanted to figure out the events and truth of these
past years that I had missed about Reuben’s life. “Alright. You and the Alpha
know best. The third person has nothing to say. And that third person is already
gone. Actually, she’s disappeared,” she added, clearly indicating Ella.
“She disappeared?” I gasped. Ella wasn’t someone who would just run away
from a situation.
“Well, actually, I wasn’t in the pack when Alpha Adam and Ella’s confrontation
took place in the clearing. I was at college, and then I went straight to pick up
the kids. But I heard from spack members that after Alpha left with you to
the packhouse, Alpha Adam was taken back to Opal Moon Pack by his Beta. He
should be alive, but there are also rumors circulating that Alpha Reuben didn’t
burn down
the Opal Moon Pack. However, no one knows where Ella is. She just vanished,”
Mia shrugged her shoulders, adding to the mystery surrounding Ella’s
disappearance.
Ella actually owned a grand house in the Emerald Bright Pack, so her
disappearance was just as strange to me. As for Reuben’s decision not to burn
down the Opal Moon Pack, it didn’t surprisemuch. No matter how angry he
might be, he wouldn’t resort to taking innocent lives or destroying their homes.
I believed that later he probably communicated through the mind-link with his
wolves to ensure they understood not to harm the pack, after he showed Ella
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe consequences of her actions.
“Now, don’t dwell on Ella. Focus on yourself. The pack now has their Luna, so get
ready to face their excitement,” Mia chuckled.
Something in her words triggered a memory within me, and I looked up at her.
“Mia, how cpack members are cool and accepting ofas their Luna when
I’m an Omega?”
“So, what if you’re an Omega?” Mia blinked, puzzled for a moment, before
something triggered her memory. “Ohh… you haven’t been in the pack for six
years, so you’re not familiar with a lot of changes. Actually, since Alpha Reuben
took over five years ago, he’s made a lot of changes to the laws, including those
related to Omegas. Now, Omegas are equal to every other pack member. They’re
not seen as low-ranking like they were six years ago, and they can even be in
relationships with higher-ranking wolves. Things are completely different in the
Emerald Bright Pack now.”
My eyes widened in disbelief. “How is that possible? Weren’t those rules and
laws made by Reuben’s father, Alpha Louis? Even though Reuben took over his
position, how could he just remove those rules for Omegas?” I gave Mia a
puzzled look, but her expression suddenly changed. She looked away from me
and remained silent. She was definitely hiding something from me.
“Mia,” I called her.
“Hm?” She looked up at me.
“Since I’ve returned to the pack, I haven’t seen Alpha Louis around. I’ve only
seen Alpha in the mall one day, I was honestly afraid of his reaction when he
saw Wyatt, Lori, Reuben, andtogether, but Alpha’s response was very strange
to me. I understand he passed his position to Reuben, but this is still his home,
right? So why doesn’t he live here? And why does no pack member talk about
him like he doesn’t exist? I wonder why,” I expressed all the doubts and
observations that had been nagging at me.
Mia’s lips parted slightly, and she gavea guilty look for a moment before
biting her lip and shaking her head. “There are a few things that we’re not
allowed to talk about, Willow. And AlphLouis is one of those topics. I’m afraid
you’ll have to uncover the past on your own her voice was low and filled with
fear.
For sreason, when she said it, my heart was unsettled.
