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 blame anyone 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 me years ago, then that means that Dark was in power at the time as well, which 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 telling me about 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. 1/5 Ox Dreame Las mejores nuevas novelas para adultos las mejores aplicaciones de lectura de la historia 4.4 FREE Installed Open 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 some anonymous 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 at me together 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 me in despair. “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 showed me by 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.

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 influenced by the spell that had been cast on the marriage contract that Bix had mentioned earlier. She simply accepted her actions without any argument. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
“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 home with 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 intercepted me on the way before joining the others in shifting and running. You explicitly told me that Reuben had brought an Alpha’s daughter home as his fiancée!” I insisted. “How would it even be possible for me to 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 come you said the same thing 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, giving me a creepy feeling?” “What kind exactly are you accusing me of?” 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 handsome and every girl’s desire, but not for me. Moreover, I was into 3/5 Chapter 92
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 made a reasonable point that I couldn’t deny. “So it really wasn’t you…” I trailed off, my heart racing as Ella sensed the gravity of the situation. 45 “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,” came the 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 come with me to 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 floor 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 deceive me that 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 came to my mind. That’s when a knock on the front door of the packhouse scared me to 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 flinched 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 some reason… scary.
No… I had to be hallucinating. Ceri suddenly faded away from my mind and for some reason 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 body grew colder and I felt a sweat forming on my forehead before I raised my hand to open the door. 4/5 11:39 Tue, 9 Apr Chapter 92 48% 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 handsome yet unknown man looking at me so intensely that I subconsciously took a step back as he stepped forward entering the house, matching me step for step. His actions added fuel to my panicked state, until my back bumped into Reuben’s chest. “Black?” Reuben’s voice came from behind me as he looked at the man in front of him. The man stopped and glanced at Reuben. However, I stared at him with wide eyes. The name sounded familiar. It turned out the man was the Crown Prince Black Emerald! The man that never ever appeared in public! What was he doing here?
