Willow
In some small corner of my heart I had known that waiting three months for the rejection was just anexcuse from Reuben. He never planned to reject me tobegin with. However, what I was unaware of was that he only wanted to keep me around for the sake of his wolf. After listening to everythingthat Ella had to say, I really appreciated the fact that our bond. would be dead the moment that they marked each other. The need for rejection had suddlost its value, Reuben had known that from the beginning but I was naive.
“Mommy,” Wyatt and Lori raced over to me, each clutching a handful of colorful candy. “I bought it myself!” Wyatt declared proudly, handingme back the change.
“Good job,” I smiled, affectionately ruffling their hair. “What do you want to do next?”
“I want to go play by the water!” Lori exclaimed, pointing eagerly toward the ocean ahead of them.
“Alright, then let’s go!” I grinned back at them. Both children jumped up and down in excitement, ready for their seaside adventure.
I had brought the children to Miami after abruptly leaving the Emerald Bright Pack far behind us, with no luggageand nowhere to go. Thankfully, I had left my purse and card in my car. I booked a hotel room then purchased some clothesand other essentials. Of course, I had switched off my phone after confirming the safety of the Wade Moon Pack through some trusted sources.novelbin
Going to the Wade Moon Pack was definitely a tempting option, but I didn’t want to bring trouble to Alpha Benjamin’s doorstep. I believed they were alreaon high alert and upset after the destruction of their three
neighboring packs all at once. The recent attacks concerned me greatly as well. Adding my situation to the mix would only bring more troublefor the Alpha. More importantly, I knew that Reuben would find me too easily there. Reuben would likelysearch Wade Moon for me first, if he found me hiding there it could put the Wade Moon Pack in jeopardy. So, I decided to avoid the possibility of that sce
I sat in the warm sand, watching Wyatt and Lori digging in sand and making a sand castle. “Mommy, why didn’t daddy come on vacation with us?” Wyatt
I discreetly curled my toes deeper into the sand while maintaining a neutral expression. No matter how hard I tried to forget, little things kept reminding mwas just using me.
I just didn’t want to think abouthim. I didn’t want to see him. I just wanted to close my eyes and erase those memories that I had made with him over the past few weeks. I wished I cou
“Mommy, when will daddy come and join us?” Lori questioned this time. When we left the Emerald BrightPack I had lied to the children telling them that we were going on vacation. It had only been a day and they had already asked me so many times about Rclose to the children, and now they were missing him every second. “He’s busy,” I lied.
“Then will he come when he’s finished with work?” she asked again.
My heart squeezed in my chest at her innocent question. Soon, I would have to tell them that he was never coming to meet us, that we were never goingPack. But for that to happen, I had to be able to escape this country as soon as possible. I just needed time to think and figure out how
to do it without getting caught. The custody case was
still filed, if I got caught there was a good chance that I would lose Wyatt and Lori. I decided to spend a few days here, calming my mind, then creating msafely return to Britain.
As I was lost in thought, my phone that was sitting beside me rang. I recognized the number as Sky’s. It was my new phone and SIM card, I had purchas
As soon as I picked up the phone, his panicked and impatient voice came from the other side, “Willow, where are you?!”
“Don’t worry, I’m fine,” I assured.
“Honestly, I’m in no position to worry about you when everything here is so incredibly messed up,” he replied anxiously.
His statement instantly worried me, “What’s wrong?”
“Alpha Reuben Emerald came looking for you!” he exclaimed, the tension in his voice clearly audible.
My head abruptly snapped up as I looked straight ahead at the water. My suspicions had been correct. Reuben had actually gone to Wade Moon looking

“Oh ho ho! Trust me, that insane Alpha arrived here at midnight without warning and broke our laws! Dadand Beta Ken had joined a meeting of the second–ranking powerful packs after the mysterious attacks, so I was handling the pack. He already hates me because of our previous heated argument and encme when I said you never came to Wade Moon. He personallychecked every corner of this pack himself and when he didn’t find you, he dipped even further into the pit
of insanity. The entire encounter was nothing short of a government raid of a criminal’s hideout! If he had found you in our pack, then trust me, he would
I clenched my fist at my side. “I’m sorry for everything, Sky. I’ve caused you guys so much trouble.”
“It’s okay, Willow. Don’t worry about us, everything is fine here. I just want to advise you that now that you’ve run away, don’t get caught! I won’t ask you the anger, insanity, and obsession in Alpha Reuben’s eyes, I advise younot to get caught. Don’t contact people you know, or they’ll get into trouble. I admire that you dared to run away from him knowing how dangerously insa
I was already aware of those facts, and that was the reason that I had avoided seeking any help from Walter. He had no relation to my problems, and I d
“But you can contact me anytime if you need help or anything. I’ll be there for you,” he promised.
“Thank you, Sky,” I smiled. After exchanging a few words, I hung up the phone. Now after there wasno way that I could call Sky. He had seen only a little of what Reuben was capable of.
My hand tightened on my phone when I realized that Reuben was after me so that he could snatch my children from me. He wanted to steal my reason fgoing to keep them with me at any cost.
“Children, let’s go,” I took both of their hands, as we started to walk off the beach.
“Mommy, what are we going to eat for lunch?” They looked up at me, clearly hungry after playing for so long.

“What do you two want to eat? I’ll buy it for you,” I offered.
A bright smile appeared on both of their lips. “I want some of that yummy Cuban food!” Wyatt said excitedly, and then Lori chimed in, “I want churros with
“Alright, then let’s go and fill our stomachs with lots of delicious food!” I exclaimed as we leftthe beach and headed back to our hotel room. After changing into nicer clothes, I drove us to a restaurant close to the hotel.
I quickly found an empty tableand ordered the food. Surprisingly, the food arrived earlier than I expected, and we started happily digging in. Another reason for coming to Miami was thby the time they realized I was gone, I was already in another city. No one could track me here.
At the same time, I had carefully chosen a hotelthat only catered to humans. Everything had gone smoothly so far, I felt slightly satisfied after so much turmoil in my mind. My children were safewith me, and I knew I could quickly find a way forward.
I finished my churro while leaving a few messages for Lola. Wyatt and Lori were eating slowly, but I needed to use the restroom.
“Wyatt, I’m going to the restroom and will be back in a minute. Take care of your sister and yourself, and don’t goanywhere. Sit here quietly until I return, do you understand?”
“I understand, mommy,” he nodded obediently.
“Good,” I smiled, getting up from my seat and leaving my purse and phone on the table before I turned to walk towards the restroom.
As soon as I took a few steps, I slowed down becauseI realized the restaurant was completely empty. When we arrived it had been full of humans. There werenot even any waitresses, there was just an alarming
silence that had spread throughout the whole restaurant.
That’s when my nose caught the scent of something that wasn’t human. My wolf’s senses immediately kicked in, and I froze in my tracks. It was… a wer
I immediately turned around to run towards Wyatt and Lori. I had to get them and run away as soon as possible but just as I took a few steps, someone’swatched Wyatt and Lori, who were watching me. I tried to kick and thrash, aiming to freemyself, but another pair of hands grabbed my arms, preventing me from breaking free. Then, the unmistakable scent of chloroform overwhelmed me, the
“Mommy!!” Wyatt and Lori jumped out of their seats to run towards me as I slipped into the darkness.
“No… my children…”
The last thing I felt was someone roughly throwing me over their shoulder as I heard my children calling out for and chasing after me.
