Chapter 92
Reuben
The Next Morning
Standing outside the soundproof window of the torture room alongside Bix, I
watched as Alpha Adam groaned in pain.
“You can’t trust anything he says,” Bix warned, his gaze serious as they rested on
Alpha Adam, even though Adam couldn’t see us. “He’s a hypocrite, a greedy evil
b a s t a r d. He would use and blanyone for his own profit, so we can’t trust
his claim when he says that Alpha Benjamin had anything to do with Dark,” he
added.
I nodded. “That’s why I haven’t disclosed this matter to Willow yet. Her respect
for Alpha Benjamin is beyond anyone’s imagination. That old man really went
out of his way to help my mate when she was pregnant and alone. It’s not like I
trust him at all, but first I need to confirm whether Alpha Adam’s claim is true or
not,” I stated, fiddling with a cigarette packet in my hand as I studied Alpha
Adam’s expression closely. He was full of guilt and sorrow over the loss of his
daughter, and he didn’t seem to have any motivation to live anymore. “In this
condition, Adam doesn’t have any reason to lie, and the sudden mention of
Alpha Benjamin in this matter doesn’t seem like a coincidence to me,” I shared
my thoughts, which Bix agreed with.
“This coincidence is really odd. If Dark’s power was truly used to switch Ella and
would be highly unusual because a man in his late twenties should have been a
toddler or only one or two years old at that time,” he pointed out. “So either
Alpha Adam is lying or Dark is really not in his late twenties.
That’s when I recalled Willow tellingabout her nightmare and the
remembered fragment of her past where she saw Dark. “What if he never aged?”
I stated, gazing at his surprised expression directed towards me.
“That’s insane if that’s really the case! He is turning out to be even more
dangerous than we originally imagined him to be. I bet he’s coming for us!” Bix
remarked.
“I agree, but I have something even more thrilling than this,” Oran entered
through the door with an ancient book in his hand.
His eyes first locked with Bix, who immediately looked away, but Bix’s ears were
red. I looked between two of them for a moment before I asked, “What did you
find?” I raised an eyebrow.

to Dark! he exclaimed.
Show me!” I took the book from him and started reading the line that really
explained the inhuman and insane strength, the control over fire, and
controlling the surrounding by sanonymous energies. Everything explained
in that book mirrored Dark’s energy.
“Okay, but what is so thrilling about this?” Bix murmured momentarily,
forgetting about things between him and Oran as he read alongside me.
“Actually the thing is, not everyone can have such powers but only…” Oran
paused and glanced at me.
My eyes got stuck on the book when I read the words, ‘royal family?

My mind instantly went blank.
“How is this possible?” Bix gasped and looked at me. “Does this mean that this
Dark person is connected to that… royal family?”
Oran and Bix both looked attogether as I nearly crushed the book in his
hand. Willow
“Why are you helping me?” Ella, curled up in the corner of the guest room, asked
“It’s not wise to willingly leap into a well,” I murmured, seated across from her,
my back against the wall. Yesterday when Walter brought her back to the
packhouse, he waited until I returned with Reuben and then he pushed Ella in
my arms and left without looking back. I did not let Ella leave the packhouse. I
talked to Reuben about her stay in our pack and he left the decision up to me.
No matter what our relationship was with Ella now, as a woman I could not let
her be violated by those monsters outside, “Predators await you outside. Don’t
sacrifice your life to punish yourself,” I advised.
She slowly raised her eyes where tears had long gone dry yet her nose and
cheeks were still reddened from crying.” Don’t you hate me?” she murmured.
“I’m simply trying to repay the kindness you showedby becoming my friend
when I was alone at a new school,” I replied softly and the mention of that time
surprised her. “I want to repay you for informing Reuben about Dark when I was
in danger, despite our differences. I want to repay you for revealing everything
that happened six years

ago and being honest withwhen others kept the truth from me,” I explained.
Despite her efforts to hold them back, a tear escaped from her eyes. “But I also
hate you for everything you’ve done,” I added, knowing she expected to hear it.
“That makes sense,” she replied, a sad smile appearing on her lips as she wiped
her tears
away.
She didn’t attempt to defend herself against the accusation, daying that she
had been infiuenced by the spell that had been cast on the marriage contract
that Bix had mentioned earlier. She simply accepted her actions without any
argument.
“I hate you for betraying our friendship, for betraying my trust, and for
attempting to steal Reuben away from me,” I continued, my voice tinged with
bitterness. “But above all, I hate you the most and can never forgive you for
lying six years ago about Reuben bringing a fiancée hwith him. Because of
your lie, I…” my voice trailed off, the weight of my unfinished sentence hanging
heavily in the air as Ella interrupted me.
“What are you talking about?” Ella frowned at my last statement. “I never lied to
you about Reuben having a fiancée,” she asserted firmly.
“Why are you lying to my face?” I retorted sharply. “Six years ago, the day I left
the Emerald Bright Pack, it was a full moon. As I was about to approach Reuben,
you interceptedon the way before joining the others in shifting and running.
You explicitly toldthat Reuben had brought an Alpha’s daughter has his
fiancée!” I insisted.
“How would it even be possible forto meet you on a full moon and lie to
you when you know very well that I celebrate every full moon night with the
Opal Moon pack members? Don’t you remember?” Ella pointed out.
I sat there, stunned and speechless. Ella did indeed attend her pack’s
gatherings on every full moon. Why hadn’t I noticed that particular day? “Then
how cyou said the sthing about Reuben’s fiancée at the Thanksgiving
party too?” I demanded.
“Me? I never said any such thing,” she claimed, never looking away from me.
A slight sense of panic rose in my heart in confusion. Could it be that she
unconsciously said those things and never realized? “Then was it not you who
sent the pictures of Reuben and I to Alpha Louis while we were in college to
make us break up? Were you not the one who had been secretly spying on me
since I returned a month ago, givinga creepy feeling?”
“What kind exactly are you accusingof?” Ella’s eyes widened. “I had no
feelings for Reuben prior to signing the marriage contract with him. Now that
the contract is gone, my feelings have nearly faded away and returned to what
they had been in the past. I admit Reuben is handsand every girl’s desire,
but not for me. Moreover, I was into

Oran back in the day, even though it didn’t work between us. So tell me, why
would I send photos to Alpha Louis to make the two of you break up?” She

“So it really wasn’t you…” I trailed off, my heart racing as Ella sensed the gravity
of the
situation.

“No…” She shook her head slowly, and my mind went blank with the unexpected
revelation. Ella had silently acknowledged all her mistakes, and she was not the
type of person to lie about her actions, especially not now when there was no
reason to do so. However, if it wasn’t Ella that day six years ago? If Ella was not
the one who sent photos to Alpha Louis then who was it?
Suddenly, a sharp knock on the door jolted both Ella and me. “Luna,” cthe
voice of the Omega standing outside, causing our hearts to race even faster.
Startled, we exchanged glances before turning our attention to the Omega.
“Please cwithto the children’s room. I’ve been trying to wake them up
for their evening snack, but they’re not responding,” she requested.
“I understand. I’ll go wake them up. You can go,” I replied, rising from the fioor
to leave the room. As I made my way to the children’s room, my mind was
consumed by confusion. I couldn’t shake the memory of Ella’s smiling face and
cheerful voice from six years ago. Suddenly, my steps halted as realization
dawned on me-someone had used Ella’s likeness to deceivethat day. But
who could it be? And why had they done it to me? A very frightening feeling
raised my heart and I did not know why but Dark’s face cto my mind.
That’s when a knock on the front door of the packhouse scaredto death.
Coincidentally, I was standing in the living room a few meters away from the
door when it happened. Though the knock on the door did not sound like a
knock, rather it felt as if someone was banging on it.
I fiinched at the banging and stared at the door while holding my breath. Who
could be on the other side? As far as I knew Oran and Bix never knocked, they
had keyes.
I knew Oran and
I slowly drew closer to the door but froze before opening it when I was
enveloped by the aura of the person standing on the other side of the door. It
was sharp, cold, and for sreason… scary. No… I had to be hallucinating.
Ceri suddenly faded away from my mind and for sreason I did not want to
open the door. Despite the fact that the longer I took to open the door the
harder the knock became. My b*dy grew colder and I felt a sweat forming on my
forehead before I raised my hand to open the door.

As soon as I did, a pair of beautiful green eyes that resembled Reuben’s locked
with me. Holding my breath out of fear, I looked at the over six foot tall
imposing figure of the handsyet unknown man looking atso intensely
that I subconsciously took a step back as he stepped forward entering the
house, matchingstep for step. His actions added fuel to my panicked state,
until my back bumped into Reuben’s chest.
