Goddess’s Design His Fated Mate by Pooja

Chapter 58

“Why is her phone switched off?” Walter murmured to himself, frustration

mounting as he repeatedly dialed Willow’s number. For the past fifteen minutes,

he had been searching all over the pack territory, but neither she nor the

children were anywhere to be found. He had only returned this tto bid her a

proper goodbye, yet she had vanished without a trace.

Continuing his search, Walter soon found himself re-entering the Thanksgiving

party, despite his disdain for being among werewolves. His concern for Willow

outweighed any discomfort as he scanned the gathering in hopes of locating

her.

However, amidst the festivities Walter noticed an unusual level of excitement

among the pack members. They were discussing something fervently, but he

hadn’t paid much attention until a key phrase caught his ears.

“Alpha Reuben and Alpha Ella’s wedding date is set for this coming full moon!”

Those words struck Walter like a bolt of lightning, causing him to pause

abruptly. His mind went blank for a couple of seconds as he processed the

unexpected news.

“Reuben is going to marry Ella? But what about Willow?” Walter’s mind raced

with confused

anger.

Clenching his fists in fury, he muttered angrily to himself, “Reuben betrayed

Willow! All of his claims turned out to be lies, he chose another woman over

Willow.”

Walter had accepted the fact that Willow loved Reuben, but this betrayal was

too much to bear. His blood boiled with rage as his hand instinctively reached

into his jacket to grab a silver dagger. However, before he could follow through

on his actions a deafening roar shattered the party, freezing everyone in their

tracks.

“What the heck is going on, who is spreading these rumors?!” Bix entered the

party, glaring at the people.

A dead silence fell over the party, and everyone, except Walter, lowered their

heads.

“Ga mma Bix, no one is spreading rumors,” a man stepped forward. “The Alpha’s

wedding date to Ella has been announced. They are marrying on this full moon.”

Bix was stunned for a second before he demanded, “Who said that?”

Everyone started to look around for the man who had cout of the

packhouse with the news, but no one could find him. Then the man spoke again.

“An Elder from the royal family has arrived with an imperial decree containing

this news.”

“Imperial decree?” Bix frowned at the seriousness of the matter, “Which Elder?”

he raised his eyebrows.

“Elder Frank,” someone said./

“What?!”

aggressive and wild attitude scaring everyone around them.

Sensing that something was not right, Walter walked over to Bix and asked,

momentarily forgetting their prior hostility, “What’s wrong?”

Bix opened his mouth, but no words cout as he stared at the packhouse

that the Elder had disappeared into with Reuben, his eyes wide with shock.

Six years ago, Bix’s father held the esteemed position of being the G amma of

the Emerald Bright Pack while it was under Alpha Louis’s leadership. This role

entrusted him with the crucial responsibility of overseeing the entire security of

the pack, which included monitorin cameras strategically positioned throughout

the pack territory.

the CCTV

Aside from Bix’s father, only Bix himself had access to this security system. It

was through this access that Bix had stumbled upon the distressing footage of

Willow being abused and harassed by Elder Frank.

Everys, he would meticulously edit the footage of the area around Willow’s

house whenever

Reuben paid her a visit. However, his routine took a drastic turn when he

discovered the shocking footage of her being mistreated. He knew he had to do

something about it.

With no authority himself and Reuben’s current absence, he made the difficult

decision to confide in his father about the Elder’s reprehensible behavior that

had crossed the line. Unfortunately, even his father, who had his own sense of

justice, found his hands tied in this situation. The Elder involved happened to

be one of the royals, making the predicament even more complex and

challenging to address.

Bix was stunned when his father instructed him to handle the matter discreetly

and delete the incriminating cl*p himself.

Unbeknownst to Bix, the Elder had returned directly to the palace to confront

Reuben, revealing that he had seen him with Willow and was aware of their

relationship. Hoping to exploit this vulnerability, the Elder aimed to manipulate

Reuben. However, his schtook an unexpected turn, the Elder hadn’t

realized that Willow wasn’t Reuben’s weakness; she was his source of strength.

“Did

you tell

father about her?” Reuben’s voice cut through the tension, his gaze piercing

Frank’s soul.

Pressed mercilessly against the wall by Reuben, Frank felt the weight of

impending doom. With his n*eck in danger of being snapped in two, he

struggled to find his voice amidst the fear and pain. “N…no…” he managed to

choke out, his breaths ragged and desperate, realizing the enormity of his

mistake in that harrowing moment.

Reuben released his grip on Frank’s n*eck, causing Frank’s b*dy to plummet to

the fioor with a violent thud. Gasping for air and coughing uncontrollably, Frank

would have been dead. He had just narrowly escaped death’s door, the sudden

shift in his circumstances left him reeling.

How had things changed so suddenly? He had intended to exploit Reuben’s

secret relationship with

an Omega to his advantage, but now he found himself on the brink of death. As

the terror and reality of his pathetic condition sank in, Frank fiinched at the

sight of Reuben squatting down in front of him.

“Now that you’ve discovered her, letshare a secret with you, Elder Frank,”

Reuben’s voice resonated low and deep, sending a gaze away

“That woman is not an ordinary woman,” Reuben continued, each word

“She is my soulmate,” he concluded, his words carrying a weight that

reverberated through the tense air between them.

Reuben’s revelation left Frank paralyzed with shock. His eyes widened like an

owl’s, his mouth gaping in horror. Soulmate?! The realization hit him like a ton of

bricks, draining the color from his already wounded and blo ody face.

The woman he had labeled a wh ore was actually the other half of the royal

bloodline?! It seemed impossible, yet the truth stared him in the face, mocking

his ignorance. Suddenly, memories of his own actions fiooded his mind like a

tidal wave. The slap, the insults, the despicable acts of molestation he had

infiicted upon Willow ccrashing back, and he felt a surge of panic.

Thankfully, he realized that he hadn’t let any of his atrocious actions sl*p to

Reuben earlier. However, standing before the imposing Alpha, Frank couldn’t

shake the feeling that he might as well have surrendered his own soul to the

devil after his reprehensible deeds.

“Now that you know all my secrets…” Reuben paused, wiping the blood from his

hand on the trembling Elder’s royal robe. “From now on, if anyone-anyone,

including my father-finds out about Willow or my bond with her, I will cand

find you.”

“If even the slightest scratch appears on her b*dy, then I will cand find

you,” Reuben’s voice held a dangerously sharp edge.

“If you ever show your face around her, even accidentally, I will cand find

you,” Reuben declared firmly, his gaze piercing into the old man’s fearful eyes.

“Do you understand?”

Frank nodded his head repeatedly, his head moving like it was on a spring,

despite the pain coursing through him. He was so terrified of Reuben that, at

that moment, if Reuben had demanded his heart in exchange for his life, Frank

would have willingly torn it from his ch*st without hesitation to save himself.

Only Frank knew the sheer terror of surviving the beast’s claws that day. From

then on, he made sure to never cross paths with Reuben nor did he utter a word

about their encounter. With the blessing of the Alpha King, he swiftly transferred

his job to that of a pacemaker, a role that kept him away from the Kingdom and

beyond scrutiny unless the King personally wished otherwise.

Running inside the packhouse alongside Bix, Walter questioned, “So what’s the

problem now? Wasn’t that issue already settled, he never disclosed Reuben and

Willow’s relationship?”

Bix shook his head, “Actually, the problem is before my father deleted that cl*p

from the CCTV footage that day I had already saved a copy of it. When Reuben

returned to the pack two months later, I showed him that cl*ps

Walter was stunned into silence as they continued running, that was when the

realization hit him like a ton of bricks as they approached Reuben’s office. “Does

this mean that all these years, Reuben knew about Frank’s actions towards

Willow, and he had been waiting for the Elder’s return like a snake hidden in the

grass?”

Bix nodded, “The Elder actually walked in the devil’s den!” he said as both he

and Walter stormed into Reuben’s office only to freeze in shock at the sight of

Elder Frank’s b*dy partially strung up in the middle of the room with a large iron

rod stabbed through his throat. His entire face was disfigured, his intestines

were hanging out, and his figure could barely be called human.

In front of him a bl oody Reuben stood leaning against his desk, a smoking

imperial decree lay burning between them. Bix rushed into the room in panic,

“Reuben, you burnt the imperial decree!”

There was no one that did not know the consequences of disobeying or denying

the imperial decree let alone burning it!

“So what?” Reuben raised his dark eyes at him. “Nothing can forceto marry

someone that is not Willow,” his eyes filled with obsessive craziness.

His words left Walter confused, “What do you mean?! DId you not agree to marry

Ella, your wedding date is fixed for this coming full moon?”

“Who the f uck said that?” Reuben frowned. “Why would I f ucking agree to such

nonsense?! I have

Willow.”

Bix’s throat went dry and he took a step back that did not go unnoticed by

Reuben’s sharp eyes. “What’s the matter?” he demanded, his expression looking

more dangerously aggressive with the splashes of blood.

“Someone announced a while ago that you and Ella’s wedding date is fixed for

this coming full moon. That you take her, as your Luna on that day.”

Reuben’s expression darkened as he crushed the cigarette in his hand, “Where

is Willow?” His voice was low but the danger beneath it was clearly audible.

“Reuben!!” That’s when Oran raced into the room yelling, “Willow has run away

with children!”

Reuben’s expression changed completely at the news of Willow’s escape. He

raced out of the packhouse to the parking lot where Willow’s car really was

missing, he could no longer smell her in the pack. His eyes landed on the

broken n*ecklace on the ground, his mind went blank.

“WILLOW!!!” he screamed at the top of his lungs burning in anger and his eyes

red. Crushing the n*ecklace in his hand, he spoke, “You should not have run

away from me. You should not have!”
