Goddess's Design His Fated Mate

Chapter 10

Chapter 10 Willow Beta Ken’s office “You don’t really have to do this, Willow,” Beta Ken reluctantly signed and sealed the documentbefore him that I had requested. “It’s okay, Beta Ken,” I neatly picked up the paper from his desk. “My friend showed up out of theblue and caused a lot of trouble for the pack. He always had a few screws loose. There wouldn’thave been so much chaos if I had informed you in advance of his arrival. So, I’ll take responsibility,”I smiled. Since Reuben hadn’t disclosed our mate bond, Beta Ken assumed that he was my friend given mydisinterest in love and relationships. Since he formed his own conclusions, I just refrained fromclarifying the situation for him. That way my secret remained hidden from the pack members. Beta Ken chuckled, “As always, once you make up your mind, it’s impossible to change it, huh?” “The pack and its pack members are a priority, Beta Ken,” I replied with a sheepish smile. After abrief exchange, I left Beta Ken’s office and made my way toward my bedroom. It was situated in aquieter part of the packhouse, seldom frequented by others. But as I approached the room, I hearda lot of noise. “Daddy, you’re too tall!” Lori complained, stretching up on her tiptoes to reach Reuben’s face. Ipaused by the door, observing everything that was unfolding in the room. She had a first aid box inher hand as she tried to apply medicine to Reuben’s wounds. Reuben chuckled and scooped Lori up into his arms, “If daddy’s too tall, then he cant have hisprincess sit on his lap,” he said, settling Lori gently onto his lap and planting a kiss on her softcheek. “Daddy, you were so cool when you fought those wolves!” Wyatt’s eyes shone as he watchedReuben. “Please teach me to fight like that. I’ll join you in beating the bad next time!” “Of course,” Reuben chuckled, ruffling Wyatt’s hair. “Grow tall quickly, and I’ll teach you.” novelbin

guys “Really? Wyatt’s excitement soared as he climbed on Reuben’s arm. “I will beat all the bad guyswith daddy!” I was taken aback by their conversation. It was unusual to see Wyatt and Lori so at ease 14 19:09 Wed, 28 Feb FD Chapter 10 with Reuben. They were usually quite protective and reserved around men who showed interest inme. Yet, with Reuben they seemed entirely comfortable, as though they had grown up around him. “But mommy says fighting is bad,” Lori puckered her lips, turning to Reuben “Daddy. why did youfight if you knew you’d get hurt?” Wyatt rolled his eyes. “Isn’t it obvious? Daddy’s chasing mommy.” Lori thought for a while then nodded with all seriousness. “Yeah, women fall for bad boys, after all.” My eyes widened listening to my children talk. How did their innocent minds think up such things?More importantly, did they already know Reuben’s true identity? Were they calling him “uncle just todeceive the pack, but were secretly aware that he was their father? Had Reuben disclosed the truthto them at the shifter hotel? The realization hit me hard, Reuben seemed to have intentions towardWyatt and Lori. a desire to claim them as his own. He was attempting to steal my children!” I entered the room, quieting everything in an instant. Reuben lifted his gaze, meeting mine alongwith the children. “If I recall correctly, I asked you to remain in the living room,” I stated firmly. Reuben held Wyatt and Lori close, defending himself, “I’m injured and weak. The kids brought mehere to rest.” I couldn’t help but feel a bitter twist in my expression. His claim of being injured didn’t match thetruth of the situation, he’d put fifty wolves in the hospital! Some had suffered broken bones from hisassault. While Reuben had slyly taken advantage of my innocent children to gain entry into mybedroom. “Here,” I extended the paper toward him

“What’s this?” He raised an eyebrow, taking the paper from me. The amount of compensation that you owe,” I replied. His easy intrusion and single- handedconfrontation with numerous wolves jeopardized the pack’s safety. As an apology, I requested BetaKen to double the compensation amount. Reuben silently reviewed the paper, noting the ten million in coinpensation. He looked at me. “I washurt too,” he abruptly stated as he rose and approached me. “I don’t care,” I glared at him. “Mommy, can you please treat daddy’s wounds?” Lori walked over to me with the first aid box, herblue eyes full of concern. I glanced at Reuben from the corner of my eye. 19:09 Wed, 28 Feb FD- Chapter 10 D 12% He was an Alpha and had a very strong constitution. He did not need first aid to heal. his wolf couldeasily heal those wounds, they wouldn’t even leave scars on his body. Yet, he was sitting therepitifully on the bed, playing at being weak and pitiful in front of the children. “Lori, how about you and your brother go downstairs?” I squatted in front of both of them and tookthe first aid kit from her hand. “Beta Ken said that he is going to take you two to the pack’s river toplay.” “Play at the river?” Wyatt’s face instantly lit up. “Yes,” I smiled with a nod. “Go quickly, or he will leave!” I exclaimed. They nodded excitedly then raced back to Reuben, “Daddy, we are going to play with Uncle Ken.From here on out, you are on your own in chasing after your mate,” Wyatt stated. “Don’t worry, daddy will handle it.” Reuben smiled and gave both of them a hug. Listening to what Wyatt said, I was too stunned to react for a couple of seconds as Wyatt raced outof the room holding Lori’s hand.As their steps faded away down the stairs, I put away the first aid box and turned to Reuben. “Didyou tell them about us being soulmates?” I demanded.

“Do you really think I had to tell them such an obvious thing?,” he raised his brows, moving closer tome, “My children are smart enough to come to that conclusion about the two of us themselves.” “They are not yours, they are my children, Reuben!” I snapped at him. “I know what you are trying todo. Stop manipulating my kids or trying to get close to them. You cannot steal them from me. I willnever allow it!” “Who said I was trying to steal them?” Reuben wrapped his arms around my waist. “What do you mean?” I gasped. Could it be he was planning something worse? “My target is not our children but you. Once I steal you, they will also be mine,” he whispered, hiseyes overflowing with possessiveness. I was stunned for a long time after hearing his plan. For a second, it felt like I had gone back in timeeleven years to when Reuben had ambiguously declared his pursuit of me. However, at this pointhis words only made my blood boil, “Is this the reason you broke into Wade Moon?! Don’t think for asecond that I don’t know that it’s you who is stopping me from leaving the country,” I gritted myteeth, breaking free from his hold. “Let me tell you something, Reuben. I will leave this country nomatter what. I will get far away from you, to a place that you can never find me. You cannot stop…” Wed, 28 F Chapter 10 CH 12% Before I could finish my sentence. Reuben grabbed my arm and pulled me close to his chest. “Don’teven think about escaping. Willow,” he let out a very low and threatening growl, his voice was deep,his eyes as dark as storm clouds. “You will never be able to escape me now, Willow. I am not thesame Reuben you left six years ago. You can no longer trick me and escape like you did in the past.I would go so far as to dig a hole to the center of the earth to search for you. So don’t even thinkabout trying to make a run for it. Even if you try to escape, you’ll only end up losing Wyatt and Loriforever.” I felt a sudden chill make its way down to the marrow of my bones when he mentioned. to me aboutlosing Wyatt and Lori. “What do you mean?”

“The moment you try to escape in any way, I will file for sole Wyatt and Lori’s custody,” his voicewas low as his eyes fixed on watching my changing expression. “Custody?!” My face went pale. “You can’t do that. Reuben!” I screamed, hitting his chest. “Wyattand Lori are mine. You can not steal them from me!” “Try me, you know what I can do,” he grabbed my hand and pulled me closer, causing my breath tofan against his hard chest. “You should not have run away from me, Willow. You owe me so much,”he whispered, looking deep into my eyes. “I don’t owe you a thing!” I growled, pulling away from him. “I owe you nothing!” I pushed him away. “Nothing?” Grabbing my hand, he pinned me against the nearest wall and pressed the length of hisbody against mine. “Let me tell you what you owe me,” he slowly spread my legs with his knees. “What are you doing?” I gasped in horror. “Let me go!!” “Shhhh…” he hushed, softly weaving his fingers into my hair. “You owe me 2,190 days, Willow,” heleaned in close to my ear as his hot breath kissed my sensitive skin. My wolf suddenly awakened inmy mind as I felt a forbidden feeling inside me that I hadn’t experienced for the last six years, “Youowe me 72 ruts and countless f ucks,” he whispered. “Dream on!” I snapped, shoving him away, only to be pinned against the wall under him. again. “Oh… did I forget to add six babies?” he added. The room fell into a dead silence as it took a couple of seconds to understand what he meant.Shocked and angry, I wriggled in his hold but failed to break free when confronted with his insanestrength. “Let me go!” I demanded, taking short frustrated breaths. His eyes subconsciously went tomy rising and falling chest, my slightly exposed cleavage drawing his attention. 色 12- Chapter 10 “Since you owe me so much…” he trailed off, glancing at my breasts then locking eyes with me.“Get ready to pay me back for every single one. Willow. So, don’t run around and make me returnagain.” he whispered. “Like I said. dream on. I stared straight into his eyes. “If you are not the same Reuben that I knew

six years ago, then I am not the same old Willow you knew. There is no way you can get me back.Even if it costs me my life to escape from you. I am willing to pay that price!” I declared. Reuben’s grip on my wrist tightened as his expression turned blank and emotionless. He hatedchange and challenges as usual he was easily triggered by them. “You are no longer the same oldWillow?” he chuckled softly. “Don’t you understand that only increases my craving for you?” Heslowly let go of my hand and pulled me closer by my waist. I put my hand on his chest in alarm ashe said, “So I will love tasting this new flavor of yours.” SEND GIFT
