Willow

Guests were a rare sight in the Emerald Bright Pack, especially those from other

first-ranking packs that had the fortune to meet with Reuben. However, I never

make an appearance in our pack. Well, considering

expected the King’s Beta ould have been expected.

Reuben’s royal bloodline,it

Preparing refreshments, I walked into the backyard with a tray, debating on

whether or not to send an Omega to serve the King’s Beta would seem rude.

As soon as I stepped into the backyard, my eyes landed on the handsome

middle- aged wolf with a strong aura, Beta Jin. He and Reuben were standing an

arm’s length away from each other, engaged in what looked to be a serious

conversation.

“Please, you have to cto the palace with me, Alpha Reuben,” Beta Jin

requested. As soon as I heard that, I stopped in my tracks. My hand tightened

around the tray at the mention of the palace. Why did Reuben have to go there?

It disturbedso much that I failed to notice Beta Jin’s eyes were already on

me.

He lookedup and down with emotionless eyes. Reuben turned to look at

me, blocking Beta Jin’s view from my line of sight when he walked over to me.

“Reuben, is there a problem?” I asked.

“It’s nothing,” Reuben shook his head, dismissing any concerns.

“Then why do you have to go to the palace?” My heart grew restless.

“It’s just that the Alpha King wants to meet with me,” he remarked casually, but

my heart drummed in my ch*st more wildly.

“Why does the King want to meet with you? Is it because of the marriage

contract with Ella? Or because of me?” I didn’t know much, but I was sure that

breaking the contract with Ella, which had been under the watchful eyes of the

royals, was a huge scandal. While I was a woman whose death decree had been

dispatched six years ago, who had given birth to the children of an Alpha with

royal blood. I was still alive and a criminal in the eyes of the royals. “Do they

want to kill me?” I asked quietly, looking into Reuben’s eyes.

Reuben’s expression faltered as he stepped closer to me. “No one can touch

you, Willow,” his voice was low, but the obsession in his tone and eyes went

beyond anything I could have ever imagined. “Whether it was a storm or

blustering wind it has to passfirst before it even has a chance of touching

your hair. Do you

understand me?” he tucked a strand of hair behind my ear, gazing deeply into

my eyes. I nodded in response. “I will be back,” he k*ssed my forehead.

I looked up at him with a smile, “Cback soon.”

He nodded and left with Beta Jin, leaving Oran and Bix to look after the pack. I

kept staring in the direction he had gone, feeling sad. I didn’t want him to leave.

“He will be back,” Oran stated, pullingout of my thoughts. I blinked up at

him and nodded. “Those look delicious. Mind if I have some?” He eyed the

cookies on the tray.

“You can have them all,” I smiled, passing him the plate of cookies.

“Wow, these are as delicious as they used to be six years ago, Willow,” Oran

grinned, quickly eating all of them one after another.

I giggled, “Thank you, I have two jars at home, I will send you one of them over

for you if you’d like.”

“Really? Now are you sure I can’t talk you into lettingsteal the kids’ share

too,’ he teased with a laugh.

“Sure,” we both laughed together.

“If they’re that delicious, how about you eat the plate too,” Bix’s voice our happy

conversation.

interrupted

Oran froze mid-bite and glanced at Bix’s unpleasant expression for a couple of

seconds, only to awkwardly put the cookies back on the tray. I blinked at him,

giving up on eating the cookies. What was going on? I looked between them with

confused eyes. Why was Bix unhappy? Was it because Oran ate the cookies?

Could it be that he wanted stoo and was annoyed that Oran had eaten

them all?

Clearing my throat, I picked up a cup of coffee to offer Bix. “Would coffee?”

like some

He looked at the coffee then back to Oran. “Give it to him, he seems to be very

hungry,” he said before walking away with a frown, completely puzzling me.

“Did I do something to annoy him?” I murmured but I had a feeling that he

actually was not pis sed off atbut Oran. Not that I could understand the why

of it?

Oran rubbed his cheek. “Don’t pay attention to him,” he advised.

Chapter 76

I nodded, wanting to put the cup back on the tray, but I stumbled while turning

around, and the hot coffee was about to burn my hand. The cup slipped from

my grasp, I braced myself for the pain of the burn. However, neither the cup nor

the coffee fell from my hand. Instead, they remained suspended in mid-air,

surprising

me.

How was this possible?

That’s when I turned my attention to find Bix’s hand that was shining. My eyes

widened to see him using magic! He had stopped the coffee from burning my

hand at the exact right moment.

“Are you a hybrid?” I gasped. How had I never known about this? Yet seeing

Oran’s expression was enough to confirm that I was the only one that did not

know about it. Reuben likely knew about it too.

Bix took a step back, clearly surprised that he had accidentally exposed his

powers. However, that was the moment that his nose started to bleed.

“Your…” I gasped but before I could say anything a wind passed bythat was

none other than Oran. He had already dashed closer to Bix at lightning speed

and pressed a handkerchief to Bix’s nose.

Put

“Calm down,” Oran whispered as Bix’s surprised eyes locked on Oran’s sudden

move. Oran’s smiling face that had been put on display in front ofhad

completely changed at the sight of Bix bleeding. In reality he looked exactly the

sas Reuben at that point.

Bix looked atwatching the two of them closel

and pulled away from Oran. “I can do it.” With that he left with the piece of cloth

pressed over his nose, but Oran still followed him.

I watched as both of their backs vanished while my thoughts whirled. What was

this tension between the two of them? It turned out that Bix was half werewolf

and

half wizard!

Later that day, after I had finished working on my designs, I got ready to leave

for the Wade Moon Pack before going to the restaurant to meet Walter.

As soon as I parked my car in front of the packhouse and got out, Sky-showed

up out of nowhere and huggedhappily. “Willow!”

I giggled, “Were you hiding somewhere and waiting for me?”

“Of course! After I received your message that you were coming to visit, I

couldn’t

stay calm!” he exclaimed, he started chatting about my escape, return, and my

issues with Reuben as we entered the packhouse together.

After understanding everything I explained, Sky commented, “I still don’t like

him seeing he cawfully close to killingthe other day, but as long as he

loves you I’m fine with it,” he dryly remarked. I chuckled, shaking my

head.

“Where is the Alpha?” I asked, noticing Sky’s expression immediately change. “Is

something wrong? Did you two have another argument?” I raised my brows in

concern.

“Actually, I feel like Dad…” Sky began, but before he could finish his sentence,

Alpha Benjamin’s voice called out from the dining room. “Willow, chere,

girl.”

“Let’s go,” Sky ledinside, and he didn’t finish his words anymore.

Upon entering, Alpha Benjamin and Beta Ken warmly welcomed and hugged me.

As expected, the Alpha had no intention of lettinggo without having lunch

with him. Despite the tensions of the past few days, the conversation was lively,

and the dining room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

“Willow, why is it that you have suddenly cto visit this old man? There has

to be a reason, right?” The Alpha knowingly raised an eyebrow.

“You are right,” I smiled sheepishly. “Actually, I remembered something from the

“Actually, I remembered something from the past, Alpha,” I confessed, only to be

startled by Alpha Benjamin suddenly dropping a spoon on a plate.

I looked at his wide eyes as he slowly looked at me. “What did

you remember?”

“Actually, I only remembered a little bit where Dad and you were playing chess.

Mom cin with refreshments and I accidentally knocked the glass of water

onto the chessboard that you two were playing,” I explained.

Alpha’s eyes color changed and his eyes widened, “Do you remember anything

more?” his voice was low.

I shook my head. “Honestly, it’s the first tI remember something from the

past, and it also helpedrecall what my mom and dad looked like,” my voice

held excitement at finally recalling my parents’ appearance. Though I did not

see the sexcitement in the Alpha’s face. “Is there something wrong, Alpha?”

“No…” he shook his head and managed to smile, “It’s just I am shocked that

after forgetting nearly everything you suddenly recalled something…”

“I am shocked too,” my heart beated wildly in my chest, “Seeing you there in

memory was really unexpected, Alpha. You seemed really close friends with my

dad!”

Sky and Beta Ken watched the both of us in silence. Alpha Benjamin’s lips also

curled lightly. “Yes, your dad George and I were best friends.

“Alpha, can you tellmore about my parents? Maybe it will help me

remember smore things!” Over the past few years, whenever I met with the

Alpha, I always asked him different things about my parents.

He was silent for a couple of seconds then continued eating while replying,

“Like I told you, your parents were a very peace-loving couple. There is not

much to tell. During the daytime, George would be driving and doing small tasks

for me, but at night we were drinking partners and played chess. The day I

tasted the delicious food made by your mom, Eloise, I immediately hired her as

a full-tcook in the packhouse. She was a kind and beautiful woman, just like

you,” he smiled at me.
