Chapter 75 Willow In the morning, as soon as my alarm went off, I rolled over on the bed only to find Reuben was gone. His scent had almost faded from the bed. I quickly freshened up and headed downstairs to prepare some food. The kindergarten was taking the children on a small field trip and I had to prepare delicious tiffins for my babies. I had already decided on the menu in my mind, I was thinking about it as I entered the kitchen as I witnessed a small and a large figure wearing aprons standing next to each other looking so adorable. “What are you up to in here?” I walked in puzzled. The children were all dressed for kindergarten and a delicious aroma had taken over the kitchen. All of their eyes focused on me, “Daddy is preparing a surprise breakfast for mummy and we are helping daddy!” Wyatt and Lori chirped together then each grabbed one of my hands and led me inside. “Surprise breakfast?” I blinked in shock and glazed at Reuben who looked se xy as hell, standing by the kitchen counter wearing only an apron over his 8 pack abs that did nothing to conceal his strong arms. “Did you sleep well?” He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me into a kiss. My eyes widened and I was frozen under his kiss for a moment before my ears turned red and I broke the kiss in alarm, “What are you doing? he kids are watching!” I whispered, my face flushed in shyness. “So what? I am kissing my mate,” he pulled me closer to the point both of our bodies touched. “You…” I slapped his hand for being bold then glanced at Wyatt and Lori who obviously were not used to seeing me and Reuben like this, however I found both of them climbing up on their chairs in the dining room with their short little legs. Like little adults they served themselves juice without bothering to look at us. “Mommy, please don’t mind us,” Lori stated. “Yeah, don’t feel shy. It’s your mate and our daddy,” Wyatt added.
I was taken aback by their very adult remarks! How come their innocent little minds think such things? I looked at Reuben to find him smiling. 1/5 Chaprt 75 “The kids know that their daddy loves their mommy,” he lowered his lips to kiss me again. My face grew hot as a small smile appeared on my lips. Forgetting about everything, I kissed him back accepting this new life with Reuben where our children were with us. “Willow. are you still uncomfortable?” he asked between kisses, his voice only audible to me. “Uncomfortable?” I broke the kiss, looking at him puzzled but my lips remained an inch away from his. Suddenly his hand slid down to my as s where he gave it a squeeze. “This time I refuse to stop before I’ve gotten two rounds out of you,” he mind-linked me, playfully biting his lip. My face turned red and my heartbeat quickened understanding his intentions. Last night I had fallen asleep due to tiredness right after we ate dinner together so he could not make his move on me even though he had managed to move me into his bedroom. “You did not answer me, Willow,” he gave me another squeeze that was not visible to children at all and planted another kiss on my lips, “Tonight will be too long for us to wait,” he whispered. “I… I have to make tiffins for the children’s field trip!” I pulled away from him quickly and turned to the counter to hide my hot blushing cheeks and to avoid those shiny eyes that were boring a hole in my face. Sh it! If I blushed then it would only encourage him! “Don’t worry about it. I have already prepared tiffins for the kids,” Reuben came beside me and passed me a bowl of the delicious traditional breakfast sitting on the kitchen counter. “You know how to cook?” I blinked as we walked to the dining table with bowls in our hands. For as long as I had known Reuben, he had only known how to boil eggs and make coffee. “I learnt a few things over the years,” he replied, pulling a chair out for me. “Why? Don’t you hate cooking?” I asked, watching him sit beside me. “More like I hated to eat food that was not made by you. So I learnt,” he replied, serving me french
toast. My heart hurt when I noticed the pain buried deep in his eyes, “Without you, swallowing even a nibble was torture,” my eyes stuck on his lowered head as he kept serving me, “But I could not stop swallowing. I kept on 2/5 11.08 Thu, 21 Mar Chapter 75 living shamelessly. I kept waiting shamelessly. I…” I held his hand while he placed food on my plate and made him look at me. His eyes were full of pain but love as well. “Thank you for being shameless,” I cupped his cheek and placed a soft kiss on his lips. “Thank you for not giving up on me.” He smiled and pulled me into a hug. I hugged him back, my eyes watered no matter how much I tried to hold it in. Never over the past six years, had I ever thought that Reuben was in the same pain as me. He pulled away and we both smiled at our children that were admiring us. “Let’s eat. Aunt Mia will be here soon to pick you two up,” I smiled as we all happily finished our food. “Reuben,” Oran called. I looked at the doorway to the dining room to find Oran and Bix standing there. “Beta Jin is here to meet with you,” Oran gestured. “Beta Jin?” The name immediately clicked my mind as I looked at Reuben, “Is not that the Alpha King’s Beta?” “I will be back,” Reuben rubbed my head. I nodded, watching him go to the backyard with Oran and Bix. For some reason I did not get a good feeling about it. “Willow…” Mia knocked on the door, She had come to pick up the children just as I got a call from Lola regarding my work. “Don’t accept any new projects for a while until I finish the current one at hand,” I waved goodbye to the children as their car drove away from the clearing, speaking to Lola through the bluetoothConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
earpiece in my ear. “Are you sure you want to reject so many good projects, Willow?” Lola hesitated, seeing as winning the fashion show had brought me a lot of juicy offers that were perfect for my career. “It’s okay to reject a few and take it slow when I’m not there to handle things on my own. You already have enough to handle for me, so I don’t want to burden you with more. Besides, there are a few things happening here that I need to figure out,” I explained as I entered the packhouse. Even though I had safely returned to the pack with Reuben, I hadn’t forgotten about the danger looming around Wade Moon, the mysterious attacks on werewolf packs, and…Dark. 3/5 11.08 Thu, 21 Mar a CA Clupter 75 59% I didn’t know whether the rogue I killed had told me the truth about Dark or not. I wasn’t sure if Dark really existed, but I couldn’t ignore it due to the fact that I had been kidnapped because of it! I wanted to delve into it a bit in order to confirm whether Dark truly existed before telling Reuben about it. Otherwise, he might get possessive over nothing. “Honestly, I believe I can handle it, but how will you explain it to Walter? Some of those projects are for his upcoming fashion shows,” Lola pointed. “I will talk to Walter, don’t worry,” I assured her, hanging up the call and immediately dialing Walter’s number. That man had disappeared once again since the day he exposed Ella. His luggage along with him. However, Lola claimed that he had not returned to Britain yet. “Hello,” after four rings he picked up the call. “Walter, are you busy?” I questioned collecting children’s toys from the living room floor. “What’s the matter?” his voice sounded strange as if he had been running or something. “Can we meet? I have something important to talk to you about,” saying that I stretched my hand out to grab a car toy from the table only to accidentally knock a glass causing the water spill over onto a chess board that Wyatt had been playing with last night.
As it happened, sudden images of a woman entering a room where two men were playing chess, while I spilled water in the same way I did just now, came to my mind, causing me to drop my phone on the ground in shock. “I will meet you at City restaurant at one p.m.,” Walter replied, but I was too shocked to hear his comment due to the image flashing in my mind. What was that? Just now, I saw my mom, my dad, and… Alpha Benjamin. Was it a memory I had lost? My mind felt foggy, and for some reason, my body felt paralyzed. Dad… Mom… “Hello, Willow. “Did you hear me?’ “Willow” Walter’s voice came from the other side of the phone again and again, pulling me 4/5 Chapter 75 out of shock. Controlling my intense heartbeat and shaking limbs, I reached down to grab my phone from the floor. Taking a deep breath, I said, “Okay, I will be there at one p.m.” Putting my phone down, I remained frozen for a couple of seconds. After eleven years, that was the first time I had remembered something, and it was my dad and mom’s faces, which had slowly faded away from my memories. However, I hadn’t expected to see Alpha Benjamin there. Why had I suddenly remembered it? Clutching my phone tightly, I decided to go visit Alpha Benjamin and talk to him about it. Maybe I could remember more! 5/5 色
