“I finally found you, Willow.”

I gasped as Walter pulledinto a sudden hug. The heat burning inside me

was extinguished as if I were thrown into a river of ice, but it wasn’t because of

my proximity with another man. It was due to my suspicions that I was going

into a heat coming true because of Reuben. The extremely cold, dangerous, and

deadly aura I felt behindmade my heart drop into my stomach. I froze in

that two–second hug, realizing the ominous presence cfrom Reuben. When

I pulled away from Walter and turned to stop Reuben, it was already too late.

Reuben had acted.

Reuben roared, “WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU’RE HUGGING HER?!” He

shoved Walter away frombefore pullinginto his chest. My mind

screamed at how quickly I was back in his embrace and at the force with which

Walter was thrown.

off me.

“No! Walter!” I gasped, desperately wanting to pull away from Reuben and

assess Walter’s condition. My mind raced with countless possibilities, had he

been fiung into something, sustained a severe injury or worse? Perhaps impaled

on a jagged object? However, I didn’t even have a chance to act as Reuben

gripped my chin firmly. Dex’s fury burned in his eyes as he forcedto look at

him, overriding my immediate concern for Walter.

“Eyes. On. Me,” he growled, each word punctuated with a dangerous intensity.

The madness in his dark green eyes betrayed the possessive obsession that had

been sparked by Walter’s embrace which was something that he absolutely

could not tolerate. His gaze demanded full attention, overriding any concern for

Walter’s well–being.

Back then, Reuben had almost torn the man’s hand off, the guy had

mysteriously vanished after being taken to the hospital. It was insane how even

after six years apart Reuben’s obsession hadn’t diminished. Instead, it seemed

he’d beca ticking tbomb, and I was the trigger.

“Well, well. Looks like we’re onto something, aren’t we?” Walter’s voice tinged

with amusement emerged from behind me. It was clear he wasn’t exactly

pleased with what had just transpired. Reuben redirected his focus, his gaze

locking onto Walter’s, hist demeanor growing darker in response to Walter’s

demeanor. Although I faced Reuben, I glimpsed Walter’s figure refiected in his

eyes. Walter stood, untouched, and at a

Walter wasn’t an easy man to overpower. He wa not back down either. I swiftly

made

a decision to step in before things escalated further, but I paused in my actions

when I noticed a shadow materializing behind Walter.

“If something’s truly starting how about I join the fun, human…” Bix’s voice

whispered into Walter’s ear as he loomed behind him, gradually pressing his

long claws into Walter’s n*eck.

The gradual slide of Bix’s nails against his throat seemed like a threat that

would end the game, yet Walter’s expression remained unchanged as he

addressed Bix, “I’d love to have snew people join the fun, but labelinga

human might be a tad premature, don’t you think?”

As Walter spoke, Bix felt something brushing against his abdomen. Lowering his

gaze, he discovered a sizable silver dagger, exuding a thirst for blood, poised

against his abs, seemingly ready to strike at any moment. “Ohh.., so you’re a

hunter, Bix remarked dryly, his eyes devoid of emotion. However, Oran’s gaze

held a dangerously intense look at witnessing Bix’s life being threatened.

shifted.

“That’s enough!” I yelled, whirling around to face them all, unwilling to witness

this madness any longer. “No one is starting anything here. All of you, stop it

this instant. There will be no fight, no killing, and no bloodshed!” I stated firmly,

trying to bring an end to the escalating tension. It was unsettling to see even

Oran, who usually handled matters quietly, becoming violent at a moment like

this.

I strode over to Bix and Walter, placing a hand on each of their wrists. “I said

stop,” I reiterated my final order firmly, casting a decisive look at both of them.

Bix frowned in displeasure but complied, retracting his long claws from Walter’s

throat Simultaneously, Walter obeyed my command, withdrawing his blade from

Bix’s stomach, all the while sporting a charming smile.

“Willow, you’re as dominating as ever. That’s why I have fal-

“Shut your mouth before I punch it,” I interrupted sharply, shooting a deadly

glare at Walter. I knew if I didn’t stop him, things would escalate beyond my

control and whatever nonsense he was going to say would fall on Reuben’s

cars.

“Alright,” he acquiesced, fiashing another handssmile as his weapon

vanished neatly into his high–end jacket.

Oran, Bix, and even Ella, who had silently observed the scene from the front

yard, fixed their gaze on me, their unspoken questions scratching at my resolve.

Slowly, I pivoted to confront Reuben. He was the one I needed to handle at this

point or the things were

over.

“Walter is not an enemy. He’s my friend, I asserted, locking eves with Reuben.

“You’re friends with a hunter?!” Bix’s displeased voice cut through the air. “I

wonder why I’m not f**king surprised!” he taunted venomously.

“Yes, he’s a hunter, but…” I began to explain.

“Walter Abbott, one of the rich*st men and successor of the largest hunter

organization. in Britain,” Ella spoke out of the blue. All eyes turned to her as she

stared at Walter, seemingly peering into his soul. She had been an encyclopedia

on information related to supernatural creatures and their adversaries since we

had been in school, she had discerned Walter’s identity through his name.

The revelation shifted everyone’s expressions once they realized the magnitude

of who Walter was. It also dawned on them that this man was a walking talking

bomb with legs when it cto this pack and he was already standing on their

land.

“Yes, you’re correct, but Walter isn’t here to initiate a war or anything of that

sort. There’s a major fashion show that I have been invited to participate in here

in this country. Walter is my model, and that’s why he’s here… I trailed off when

I got to the last line speaking slowly, and glanced meaningfully at him, silently

confirming that his presence was indeed for that purpose.

“Indeed, I’m here as Willow’s model,” he grinned broadly. “Actually, I lost the

address of the hotel where I was supposed to stay. So, I tracked your location

and chere,” he explained, eliciting nothing but a blank stare from me. Did

he honestly think I’d believe he genuinely lost the address? Judging by Reuben’s

emotionless gaze fixed on Walter, it was evident he didn’t buy Walter’s lie

either.

“However…” Walter paused, directing his sea–blue eyes at Reuben. “I didn’t

anticipate. such a warm reception,” tension crackled in the air as they

exchanged unfriendly glares. “Who might this man be?” he inquired, turning

towards me. I glanced over my shoulder at Reuben before returning my gaze to

Walter.

“He is…” My l*ps parted, but no words escaped. At that moment, I realized the

dilemma. of how to introduce Reuben. Should I call him my Alpha? The problem

was that I

soulmates but not committed to each other. I resided in his hbut not as his

partner. We even shared a bed, but I wasn’t his lover. I was the mother of his

“She is my wife,” Reuben’s voice reached me, yankingout of my thoughts as

his strong arms encircled my waist from the side.

What did he just say? Wife? Walter’s shock mirrored my own as my eyes

snapped to Reuben in surprise.

When did I becyour wife?” I mind–linked him, utterly confused and

speechless.

He smiled and lightly k*ssed my l*ps, “The moment you entered my life.”
