Goddess’s Design His Fated Mate by Pooja

to take note of his surprised expression from the corner of my eyes.

“So you knew,” he felt embarrassed. “I am sorry for treating you like a tool at

the time. I was mistaken in thinking that Bix loved you and that’s why he could

not accept my love. When in reality it turned out he was protecting you because

you were his cousin. I also very aggressive to you after Willow returned to the

pack. I… I really feel like a shit…”

“It’s okay,” I clasped his hand and locked eyes with him, “I have done some

unforgivable things in my life, that are nowhere close to any of the silly things

that you were responsible for in order to gain your

mate’s attention and love, Oran. At this point in life when I have nothing left to

lose except myself, I have learnt a lot of things from you guys. On

of them is to forgive and move on,” I smiled to lighten the guilt.

He nodded guiltily, givinga hug, “I will miss you. Keep in touch with us,” he

remarked.

“I will,” I smiled, hugging him back happily. We chatted a lot for a long time

before he left.

As soon as I finished checking over the room to make sure I hadn’t missed

anything, Wyatt dashed

“Aunt Ella, I have brought you a farewell gift!” Wyatt excitedly showedthe

sweet berries he was cradling in his chubby little palms.

“Wow! They are my favorite!” I excitedly squatted down to his height and tested

one of them, “They are absolutely delicious. Thank you!” I rubbed his little hand

lovingly. Over the past few days I had a collection of great interactions with

both of the twins thanks to… Walter. Since he was staying at my place the

children would cover to play and that’s how they had grown a little closer

to me. Spending all that twith them, I felt as if I also wanted one for myself

but it was just a crazy thought given my current situation.

“You are welcome, Aunt Ella,” the little guy’s ears turned red at the compliment.

“Please cto visitagain.”

“Of course I will cto visit you. You are so cute after all!” I lovingly pinched

his cheeks, regretting deep in my heart that I had not interacted with these

cuties more when I had the chance.

“Aunt Ella!” That’s when Lori cin with a rose in her hand for me. I gave both

children a hug.

“Are you sure you don’t want to stay a little longer?” Willow stood in the door

frwatching me.

“It’s already too late. I even stayed a week longer than I intended,” I chuckled,

getting up from the fioor and grabbing my luggage. During those days the two of

us had talked a lot and had grown as comfortable with each other as we had

been in the past.

“Okay but have you decided what you are going to do next or where you are

going?” She asked worriedly as we both made our way out of my bedroom to

the living room.

I was silent for a moment before I revealed, “I will go abroad.”

“Are you sure?” Willow was surprised as I expected.

I nodded, “I want a fresh start that is impossible in this country where my past

will continue to haunt me. Thanks to Reuben, no werewolf pack will bother me

but I still can’t bring myself to stay You could say that I am starting a new life,” I

explained.

“Starting a new life? I thought you and Walter were together,” Willow

commented.

When she mentioned Walter, my feet abruptly paused of their own

accord. “We… we are not like that,” I found myself stuttering when I recalled his

ki*ss from days ago. His touch and lips had been so tender on my skin that I had

spent more than one sleepless night since he confessed his impure- intentions

towards me. I had forgotten my pain and sorrow while living with him. He filled

that empty void in my heart but then… “He has disappeared for a couple of days

without a word. He was just staying at my place, that’s all,” I forced a smile,

being careful not to meet Willow’s eye.

After that Willow did not askabout it again but she knew what was going on

in Throughout my been I did not know why I had allowed Walter to beca

part of my life knowing the eventual outcome. I was not upset with him. He had

every right to leave. There was no commitment between us and it was just a

ki*ss…

It should not affectlike this when I was not a virgin. I had a lot of experience

with men. On top of that we were just a man and woman that had kis*sed and

touched each other in the heat of the

moment.

Approaching the living room, I hugged Willow for the last time. “Reuben did not

come?” I asked.

“Umm… Reuben wants to speak with you upstairs,” she gestured towards one of

the bedrooms.

“Upstairs?” I thought it was strange but I went upstairs.

Unbeknownst toafter I left, Reuben cout of the kitchen to the living

room and hugged Willow’s waist from the side, watching my vanishing back.

“Did we do that right?” Willow looked at him worriedly.

“Yeah, don’t worry,” he smiled at her concerned face and gently nipped her

nose, “Let’s go.”

Later, when I entered the room looking for Reuben, I froze in place when the

person in front of him was not Reuben but…

“Ella…” Alpha Adam calledlovingly.

I felt my emotions fiuctuate all over the place when I saw his face after so long.

He looked so messed up that he could have easily been mistaken for a

homeless person.

“Why are you here?” My voice was barely above the whisper.

“I requested this favor of Reuben,” he gently placed a hand on my head. It felt

so warm that it maderealize that I had been wrong all along. Not everyone

had left me. There had always been one person that was watching out for me

even though I had told him that I hated him and did not want anything to do

with him. He put his ego aside and had been living in Emerald Bright just to be

close to me. “Ella, I know you hate me, and don’t wish to seeever again but I

just wanted to see you this one last time, my girl.” The guilt of his crimes

againstand my ignorance had broken his heart. He looked like someone

that had given up the will to live. My heart grew heavier as my eyes watered.

“Dad is… I mean… I am really sorry for being such a horrible father to you. I

destroyed your life with my own two hands. I deserve your hate but you do have

a bright future ahead. So I want to make sure you don’t get discouraged.

Everyone makes mistakes, there are only a few people that are willing to accept

them and seek redemption. You are one of those precious gems, Ella,” he

smiled, k*issing my forehead. “Go and find your happiness, my girl.”

Listening to him, I broke down into tears and could not stop myself from

hugging him. “You too, I don’t want you to feel guilty. I forgive you.”

He could not stop his tears either as he huggedtightly but no words came

from his mouth. I pulled away from him and wiped at his tears. “I don’t want to

be sad right now. If you wantto move one then please move on with your

life too,” I requested. requested.

He nodded, his eyes red and teary. I held his hand and looked deep into his

eyes, “I am not leaving you. I am just going to do something that will secure my

future. One day, I will return and then we will live together,” I stated, surprising

him.

“Are you sure? You will chto dad… I mean you will return to me?”

I nodded with a smile, “Yes, I will be back soon so wait forin this house. Stay

safe and be happy.”

His lifeless face and eyes beamed with hope. Something that I craved to see.

Stlater, I walked out of my house with Alpha Adam. I had already called

a taxi that was waiting forin front of the house. Reuben, Willow, and Oran

stood by the taxi waiting for me, their lips spread in wide smiles to see the two

of us together.

“Don’t forget to dropa message once in a while,” Willow remarked, hugging

me. I nodded.

“This hug is from Bix and I,” Oran gave a big hug. I giggled.

Reuben and I did not hug each other. “Take care,” he remarked, as we shook

hands.

“Thanks,” I smiled, then gave one last hug to Alpha Adam before I got into the

taxi.

As the taxi began to pull away, I could not help but look back at everyone. I was

so thankful to the Goddess that I had so many beautiful people in my life.

Especially… my father. I smiled at him, waving goodbye.

He was surprised and immediately waved in return but this this face was

filled with happiness rather than tears.

I wiped my tears away and calmed my emotions as the taxi finally exited the

Emerald Bright territory. Now my path was set for the airport. I looked out of the

window the entire way, unable to shake the feeling that something was missing.

I didn’t even realize forty minutes had passed when the taxi halted at the

airport.

I got out,once I stood outside the airport with my luggage, I finally realized that I

didn’t really want to go. I felt lonely…

“I am not late, am I?” A familiar voice entered my ears. Surprised, I immediately

looked over to find Walter standing there with his luggage.

“Why are you here?” My eyes were wide and my heart was beating faster.

“Is it not obvious?” he drew closer then pulledinto his chest. “We are going

together.”

“Together?” I gasped, my voice barely above the whisper.

“Yes, after all lovers live together, right?” He touched my cheek, his eyes filled

with emotion when he confessed, “I love you, Ella. Do you love this hunter that

can’t live without you?”

My heart drummed rapidly in my ch*st out of shock as the world around us

seemed to disappear. “I am a werewolf and you are a hunter,” I whispered.

“We are just lovers,” he whispered back, leaning closer to my face.

“People will not accept us,” I felt my breathing becerratic with our

proximity.

“I don’t give f*uck about what others think. This is something we decide. This is

about eyes with me, “Now tellElla. Do you lovetoo?”

ne locked

I held my breath but failed to get my heartbeat under control. My wolf appeared

in my eyes to see the man that truly loved me. I tore my eyes away from him

and started walking away with luggage.

Walter’s expression morphed into one of rejection. I stopped on my tracks,

glancing back at him. “You are not coming? I thought you wantedto come

with you?”

His face brightened as he ran over to hug me. “You naughty girl. You were

teasing me!”

I giggled, hugging him back, “You deserve it.”

He looked at my smile and pulledinto a k*iss, “I love you, Ella,”
