Chapter 36
Willow
“I love you Reuben,” Ella confessed, stabbing a sword right through my entire being.
It was a living nightmare to witness Reuben and Ella kissing first hand. Her body flattened against his, lips pressed firmly against his. All of my strength, sanity, and emotional control immediately abandoned me in that instant causing the tray to fall from my hand, leaving me miserably smothered. Unable to bear seeing them together, I fled in the direction of my room.
“WILLOW!” Reuben yelled, chasing after me.
I put my hand over my mouth to stifle any noises that might escape, my breathing uneven, and my head was spinning, unable to forget what I had seen. They were engaged, soon to be married. Kissing and touching was expected, but a sense of disgust. had risen in my very being. Reuben’s lips…they were the same lips that he had pressed against mine countless times in the past when we had been together then once again. over the past two days. I was the only one that had a claim over them all this time but now they had been touched by another woman.
“WILLOW!” When I did not stop, Reuben chased me upstairs. Not wanting to see hist face, I just ran inside my room wanting to lock myself in. Before I had a chance to do it,
Reuben pushed the door hard, forcing it open.
“Why are you running?” he charged at me growling furiously, triggering my flight response. “Don’t do that with me, Willow!” He grabbed my arm.
“Get out!” I screamed, pushing him away before he could get any closer to me.
I did not want him to see how broken my heart was. I felt betrayed once again, event though I knew that it was wrong for me to feel this way. When I discovered the information about Ella being Reuben’s fiancee and their impending wedding, I had prepared for worse when moving into the packhouse with Reuben. I had turned my heart to stone so that unnecessary feelings would not get in the way as this journey was supposed to end at the sacred cave and rejection. However, witnessing that kiss between. the two of them was more than enough to steal all the strength that I had managed to accumulate over the past six years.
“Listen to me,” he begged, grabbing me tightly by the arms.
“Let go!!” I screamed, struggling in his grasp.

“It is not what you think!” Reuben’s voice rose as he pulled me closer to his chest. He looked into my eyes with his wolf’s eyes and tried to clear up the matter, “Whatever you saw was not true. I did not know Ella was going to kiss me. I also did not kiss her back. There is nothing between us…
“She loves you!” I cut him off, tears threatened to spill over my lashes. I clutched at hist chest, dug my nails in and whispered, “Ella… loves you…”
