So that was why I could never find Willow, regardless of how hard I tried. “Did she change her name in Britain?” I inquired. I had even searched for Willow in foreign countries through packs connected to friends of mine, but no one seemed to have heard of a woman by that name. “She did not change her name, but I see she used a stage name everywhere. She never appeared in front of cameras or at any other fashion shows. She remained anonymous except to a select few higher-ranking people and models.” Oran relayed, reading from the notes, then hesitantly continued. “Reuben… she has been hidden incredibly well for six years with her two children… if this time she escapes then…” “She will never escape from me now, Oran!” I growled, the intensity in my voice shook Oran. “I would turn any place that she escaped to into ash until she returned to the path that leads her back to where she belongs, with me,” my wolf spoke with me, sending shivers down Oran’s spine. “I… I did not mean that,” Oran stammered. “You see… Willow thinks that you have betrayed her. She sees you as the one that abandoned after getting her pregnant. She was heartbroken. It seems that she has chosen a new life…” “She is my life…” I interrupted him sharply. “She can choose a new life but she will always be my choice and my life.” Oran remained silent for a moment before asking, “Then what are my orders?” I stared ahead at the dark road with intensity, saying firmly, “Get me all the information there is about Wade Moon and the Alpha family.” “The Alpha family?” Oran asked in surprise. I hung up the phone, speeding towards Emerald Bright Pack while my wolf kept growling in displeasure in my mind. “We can’t leave her in the Wade Moon Pack,” my wolf, Dex, grew increasingly impatient, aggressive, and loud, as he vividly recalled the six years we spent without our soulmate. “She has
to be with us!” Dex’s sense of impending actions from Willow mirrored my own. “I know,” my muscles tightened. “Then turn the car around and take her back with us,” Dex growled. “Forcing her will only cost us Wyatt and Lori, Even if I forced her to come to my pack, she’ll still scheme to escape at the first chance she gets,” I explained. “Then what’s your plan?” Dex probed, peering out of my eyes. 19:09 Wed, 28 Feb 27 Chapter 11 12% I remained mute but shifted my gaze away from the road. fixing it on the picture I had taken from her room. A photo of her. Wyatt, and Lori with Alpha Benjamin and his son. Willow The following day. I received a $10 million check from one of Reuben’s men. Beta Ken hesitated to accept it, but eventually relented when I mentioned it was for our injured pack members and damages to the pack. Over the next two days, I worked hard to quell rumors about an unknown wolf intruding on the territory, hoping to minimize Alpha Benjamin’s attention to it upon his return. However, what I failed to achieve was leaving the country entirely. I discovered I couldn’t book a plane ticket and was also barred from departing via transatlantic cruise liners. What shocked me most was my inability to leave in any direction-West. North, or South-each of which was controlled by different influential Alphas, all of whom were friends with Reuben. Sitting at the dining table. I stared at my coffee, teetering on the edge of fury. I couldn’t see any way to escape the country. Reuben had ensnared me from every possible angle, but I had decided not to give up. “Wyatt!” Lori’s voice drew my attention. I looked up to see them darting into the room, closely followed by Beta Ken. I smiled and stood up, You two are back. Did you have fun?” I asked.
“Yes! Uncle Ken took us to the training grounds, mommy!” Wyatt exclaimed. “There were lots of wolves, fighting and running around, then we went into the woods!” “After that brother and I caught fish!” Lori chirped. “Look, mommy, I caught this one!” She proudly raised a small fish in her hand. I chuckled. “Well done!” I used my handkerchief to gently wipe the dirt from their cute little faces, which they’d acquired while playing with Beta Ken’s wolf. Thank you, Beta Ken,” I smiled at him. Lately, he had been taking Wyatt and Lori around on his wolf’s back, allowing me time to focus on my design work and new ideas. “If you want to thank me, treat me to Wyatt and Lori’s fish,” he teased. “Of course, I chuckled. “Lunch is ready. You three, go and quickly wash up…” I started but stopped abruptly when I saw a tall blo ody figure entering the door. When curly blonde hair and brown eyes came to my view, I recognized him, “Sky?!” I gasped in horror. Beta Ken immediately turned to find the Alpha’s son standing there covered in his own blood, “Alpha… what happened to you?” Beta Ken panicked as we both hurried toward 19:10 Wed, 28 Feb 7 F b Chapter 11 him. He returned to the pack after a month away, his condition questionable. “Willow?” His brown eyes widened in surprise at the sight of me.. “Sky, why are you in this state? What happened?” My eyes scanned the blood trailing from his head to his cheek. A deep cut marred the side of his face, and his shirt was. torn. “It’s nothing,” he suddenly flashed a smile at me. “If I had known you’d returned, I wouldn’t have wasted my time on the wolf outside the territory.” 12% A “So, Alpha, you were fighting with a rogue outside?” Beta Ken frowned. “You should have informed me, Alpha. I would have sent a warrior to deal with it.” “It’s not a big deal, Beta Ken. I just happened to encounter a rogue on the way. You know how muchExclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
I despise them. Once I saw it, I had to get rid of it,” he chuckled, then glanced back at me.. I just forced a smile, sensing Sky’s lie. Despite being only a year older than me, as his best friend, I could easily read his body language.. My gaze shifted to his torn shirt, revealing numerous bite marks on his body, deep and still bleeding. There was no way a rogue could have inflicted such severe wounds on a powerful Alpha like Sky.If I were a betting woman I would say that Sky had been attacked. Simultaneously, I caught the scent of numerous wolves emanating from his body, a scent distinctly different from that of a rogue. Sky noticed my assessing eyes and quickly turned away. “I’m going to take a shower,” he hurriedly climbed upstairs then added without looking back, “Beta Ken, I need some rest, so please don’t disturb me. Enjoy your lunch.” I stood there, a mix of feelings swirling within me. This was the first time Sky avoided talking to me when our eyes met. He had eagerly awaited my return to the pack all these years, yet upon my arrival, he seemed indifferent. What was he hiding? Why the lies? “Am I overthinking things?” I questioned myself. “Mommy, I’m hungry,” Lori fugged at my clothes, seeking my attention. “Okay, let’s go clean up then eat,” I smiled. Later, I returned to the dining room to have lunch with Beta Ken and the kids. But when Sky didn’t show up for evening tea and dinner, I felt uneasy. After putting the children to bed, I decided to check on him. His room was on the second floor, as I 45 19:10 Wed, 28 Feb FD Chapter 11 approached I heard Sky talking to someone on the phone. 自12% “Didn’t I promise I’d pay you the money! Why are you calling me like I’ll run away?!” Sky shouted, throwing his phone to the floor in anger, where it landed on my foot. He slowly lifted his eyes to find me standing on his doorstep. “Willow…” His face paled when he noticed me.
“Sky…did you….did you start gambling again?” My voice trembled with shock as I stared at him with wide eyes. When I joined the Wade Moon Pack, Sky struggled with a gambling addiction. It had angered Alpha Benjamin, considering Sky was the future Alpha of the pack. Over time, as Sky and I became friends, he had ceased gambling for my sake, focusing on the pack and business. However, what I had just heard was a sudden and shocking revelation. “Willow… I’m sorry. I couldn’t stop myself,” Sky dropped to his knees. “My business was on the verge of bankruptcy. I’d invested so much in it and couldn’t afford to lose it. So… so I gambled at the shifters’ gambling house and lost everything,” his voice quivered, tears welling in his eyes. “What…” My legs felt weak. “What did you gamble, Sky? What did you lose?” I managed to approach him and I knelt in front of him. He slowly raised his gaze to meet mine, and my heart raced with anticipation before he uttered the most devastating outcome possible, “Wade Moon Pack.” “You lost the Wade Moon Pack?” My eyes widened, a chill racing down my spine. “You gambled your father’s pack?!” I gasped in horror. He gambled the land that he grew up on? Sky broke down completely, crawling closer to me. “Willow, please don’t tell my father. Please…” He gripped both my hands in his cold trembling ones. My entire body turned cold as I listened to his begging. I stared at him in shocked disbelief for a moment before asking, barely above a whisper, “To whom did you lose the Wade Moon Pack?” He looked at me with red teary eyes and said, “The Emerald Bright Pack.”
