Opal Moon Pack

“Fuck!! Why the hell is that she–wolf still in Emerald Bright Pack?!” my uncle roared, tossing the photos of Reuben and Willow’s kiss from her welcome party away. “After being confronted with all of the evidence of her love affair with that hunter, he dared to embrace that dirty little whore! How dare he insult you in such a way?!” He banged his fist down on the desk in a burning rage that he could obviously not let out as the person. offending him again and again was Reuben.

“I see that he has gone blind under the glow of this woman’s love whether it is from a mate bond or not,” he scratched the photos with his claws, “It would have been great if that mysterious attack would have taken place on Wade Moon that day then she would have been killed by that mysterious fire!” He cursed non stop as if it were the only thing he could do.

“Uncle, you are being too loud. You are just making my headache worse,” I murmured, keeping my eyes closed and leaning back motionlessly against the chair.

“You have a headache because I am loud?!” He snapped at me, “My niece returned to our pack in tears and is unwilling to return to her own fiancee’s pack? A place that she is supposed to spend the rest of her life! Do you have any fucking idea how I am feeling at this moment?” his eyes were red. I was my uncle’s pride, when I was hurt, he could not bear the sight of it.

That night, I returned the pack after my encounter with Oran. Reuben had openly threatened and insulted me thanks to Willow. Then when that had not been enough humiliation Oran had added to my broken state by revealing the fact that our brief relationship in the past was a mistake in his mind. A mistake that he knowingly committed. Even though I could not understand the meaning behind his words, I felt utterly humiliated.

I left the party only to encounter Willow and Reuben kissing in the clearing. That had been when I reached my breaking point, as it was no longer one side kiss from Reuben. Willow had kissed Reuben back.

“It has been two days and he has neither called nor come to bring you back. Isn’t he dishorning his fiancee with his actions? I will not tolerate it! I will not fucking let this stand to pass,” growling, he picked up the receiver,

I opened my eyes slightly to look at him, “Who are you calling?” 

“Alpha Louis,” he remarked, dialing Reuben’s father’s number. “Reuben has to know that the marriage contract he signed is not a tissue paper that he can just throw away after using! He has tossed away his slut soulmate and bastard children. He has to know that you are putting up with him because of the love you bear him and that it is time. for him to wake i

It seems that he has fucking forgotten the year he spent caged up prison and beaten regularly, only earning his freedom when he signed this marriage contract. Now I will let him taste the power of the marriage contract!!” he spoke resentfully in one breath.

Before the call could be connected, I took the receiver from my uncle’s hand and put it down. “What are you doing?” he frowned bitterly.

“Alpha Louis can not help you, uncle,” I said quietly,

“If he can not then who will?” he raised an eyebrow then realized, “What is in your mind?”

A small smile appeared on my lips, “Frank has returned.”

“Frank?” Uncle’s eyes widened. “Do you mean…”

I just smiled and walked past him, my expression becoming void of emotion, “Now I am done being the one that is hurt!”

Willow

“I advise you to quickly take a bath otherwise I am afraid that I’ll be tasting every inch of you…”

His soft lick on my neck pitched me into a storm of memories of the intense sex we would have during my heat, his hungry touches, the inpatient thrusts, the soft bites, and lustful nights that we spent together in the past. After six years of living the life of a celibate my skin had grown ultra sensitive just like it had before only because of Reuben. I could not control my moan as long buried desire and heat threatened to crupt, inflaming the overwhelming sensation between my thighs causing the tray to drop from my hand.

Ceri got out of my control as my body grew limp in his arms. My reaction led to Reuben abruptly freezing as Ceri lured Dex in with her seduction, provoking Reuben to the point that he grabbed my neck and pulled me closer to his lips, “Willow… are you….”

He paused when the sound of someone’s running entered the room.

“Wi… Willow!” Mia rushed into the room shouting. My senses immediately knocked back into my mind. I rangled my wolf back under control, took over my slipping heat, covered it like it was never there, and immediately looked at the door where Mia stood. Her eyes were big and she was sweaty. Hiding her panic, she managed to give me a nervous smile and said, “You…you said…we would… we would go for a run!! Let’s go!”

The moment that my heat had started taking me over, I had mind–linked Mia to come and do something before I was exposed to Reuben.

The room fell into a dead silence as the two men standing in the room gave Mia a blank stare clearly picking up on her lie. I could not help but give her a tight yet thankful smile. She really was bad at lying but she showed up to help me at the right time.

“Yes, I am coming,” I pulled away from Reuben and turned to exit the office. When Reuben’s arms were left empty, Dex let out a dissatisfied growl. Mia flinched in horror, practically running out of the room but I kept my back straight and quickly walked out without looking back at him.

Unknown to me, Walter, who had been observing the scene the entire time, came over to Reuben. “What was that?”

Reuben remained silent for a couple of seconds as he looked down at his hand, “She is definitely hiding something from me. I can tell something is off, I just can’t put my finger on what it is,” he murmured.

“Does it have something to do with what you call the mate bond?” Walter looked at Reuben’s hand. “Why is your mate bond still so strong with her when you two were separated for six years? It should have weakened by now seeing that she hates you.”

Reuben raised his gaze to look at Walter, answering his question with one of his own, “What do you think?”

Walter blinked, realizing the answer on his own.

When Mia and I both made it to her house, Mia shut the door behind her and let out a shriek of fear, “Shit! I can’t believe I lied in front of the Alpha!” She pulled at her hair in fear.

On the other side of the room, I grabbed the pill box from her bedside table, sat on the bed quickly taking another pill. To avoid Reuben’s suspicion I had hidden the pills at Mia’s place. I groaned, closing my eyes, “This heat…it is really making me insane. I don’t know how I will make it through tonight,” I buried my face in my hand enduring the pain that was growing inside me. Pain that was a clear indication that my heat was going to be over tonight.

"You know what you did is extremely wrong, right?" Mia remarked, taking a seat across from me. She had calmed down slightly at the sight of my pained state. I look at her slowly feeling a deep guilt in my heart. "You are also aware that a she-wolf goes into heat when her mate is affectionate with her. And judging by your intense heat that is taking way long to dissipate, the preventing pills behind your obsession with you is clear. Taking heat back is so unbelievably wrong and against the Goddess's rules, Willow. Are you that scared of mating with the Alpha?" she murmured.

I fiddled with the pill box in my hand in silence listening to her while Ceri kept growling in my mind in displeasure.

"I cannot risk going into heat at this point, Mia," I could not help but give her a helpless. smile, "Yes, I am scared because you don't know what Reuben becomes when I go into heat," I got up from the bed and placed the pill box in her hand that I no longer needed. "There can be no mating between Reuben and I."

She pursed her lips turning mute for a long time. I knew she had suspicions that not. everything was normal between Reuben and I but she always played dumb, "I admit that I don't know what exactly is going on between you and the Alpha, Willow but I wonder if you know that you have to bear the consequences of preventing your heat, right?" "What consequences?" I cocked my brows, never learned about such things.

Mia tore her gaze away from the pills and replied, "I don't know but the Elders say that when we play with Goddess's rules...she plays with us.."

Mia's words left me silent before I replied, 'I am indeed going against the Goddess's rules but the Goddess will also see the reason behind my actions."

I could not cross that line with a man who was another woman's fiance.

I could not mate with a man that I was bound to be separated from in three months.

"Or is it that you do not want to get hurt? Wild preparing your heart for rejection?" "You are simply interrupted me

My hand shook at Mia's words. With that I left her house without looking back.

I was going to be rejected. The kiss that we shared that day appeared in mind only to tighten my chest. Over the past few days that I had spent with Reuben, I had forgotten that I had only returned to Reuben's life for three months. He wanted a rejection so that he could marry Ella.

What was this feeling? I placed my hand over my intense heartbeat.

"Why am I in pain at the thought of leaving Reuben when I had been prepared for it from the beginning?" I asked myself walking in the clearing. "Why am I so affected by Reuben marrying Ella? When he broke my heart six years ago when he brought an Alpha's daughter to the pack as his fiancee? Why did I believe him even after that betrayal? Why did I kiss him back?" "Is it not because you still love him?" A voice came from the side that froze me in place.

I raised my eyes to find Walter standing with his hands shoved in his pockets. "You still love him..."

My heart jumped into my throat at Walter's words, "1...I don't..." I took a step back, "I don't love him."

"If you want me to believe that then don't make your lie so obvious, Willow," he took a step closer to me then he added, "During the six years, you've accompanied me as my fake date, you even visited my parents as my girlfriend. We have spent so many good. times together but you always drew a line between us. Knowing my feelings for you, you never responded to my attempts at seduction and advances. You had ample opportunities during this time when you could have chosen me, the man who is ready and willing to die for you and wants to become the father to your children but you always turned me down," he paused and took another step closer to me. "All this time I thought that I was not enough for you but it turned out it was all a lie because now I have realized that you were stuck in the past with Reuben," a smile appeared on his lips. as a pool of tears gathered in my eyes. "You could never move on from him. You could never fall in love with me because you still love him."

Walter spoke a truth that I had been denying with all my might yet failed at miserably as I broke into tears. Unable to control my emotions, I shifted into my wolf, and raced off aimlessly into the woods.

How could I be in love with Reuben? I hated him. I knew it, so why..why I could not.

Stopping in the middle of the woods, Ceri howled up at the sky releasing all the pain that I had been experiencing in my heart. Whimpering. I curled up into a ball between some roots at the base of a tree and closed my eyes. My mind was blank and my heart was a mess. I just wanted to disappear from the world to escape from reality until I felt the same warmth on my face that I had been feeling whenever I used to fall asleep. The sensation used to vanish as soon as I would open my eyes. This time when I opened my eyes, I found a black Alpha Wolf standing behind me, lovingly rubbing his face against mine, sharing in my pain. He lay down beside me and cuddled me. "Willow...
