Goddess’s Design His Fated Mate

Chapter 8

Chapter 8 Willow “Alpha Alex is here, wanting to meet with you,’ he revealed. “Me?” Surprise flickered in my eyes. “Yes, it caught me off guard too. He showed up out of the blue at our borders, requesting an urgent audience with you. I presumed it was tied to the peace treaty, so I welcomed him in. Now, it’s in your hands, Willow. I’ll have him wait in the study while you swiftly prepare to meet him,” he clarified. Alright, I’ll be down shortly,” I affirmed, closing the door and swiftly making my way to the bathroom for a quick shower. The unexpected visit of someone as arrogant as Alpha. Alex, stepping foot into what was considered enemy territory, requesting a meeting with me, was certainly not something I had anticipated! This was my moment, a chance I couldn’t let slip through my fingers. No matter the circumstances, I needed to secure his agreement, so that he would sign the peace treaty. Clad in suitable attire, I made my way to the study where Alpha Alex sat straight on the sofa, seemingly indifferent to the refreshments arranged on the table. His sharp gaze locked onto me the moment I entered, as if he were on high alert. “Alpha Alex, what a surprise,” I remarked, displaying neither excitement nor surprise as I stepped into the room. Alpha Alex rose abruptly from his seat, his tone direct, “Luna Willow, let’s dispense with the formalities and dive into business. I halted in my tracks, taken aback. “Luna?” I furrowed my brow, caught off guard by the use of the unexpected title. I observed the seriousness etched across his face, noting the dark circles beneath his red, weary eyes. His appearance hinted that he hadn’t slept, it was evident by the fatigue reflecting in his demeanor. The fact that he still wore last night’s suit didn’t escape my notice. Without addressing my query, he strode closer. “I’ve already signed the peace treaty with the Wade Moon Pack,” he declared, extending the papers toward me.

The realization hit me like a bolt of lightning, he had already signed it! Surprised, I glanced at the papers I had left in his care during last night’s ball. AT that time, he had held them with an air of indifference. Now, as I looked at them again, his pack seal and signature sat neatly beside Alpha Benjamin’s. The treaty was official. This agreement meant the Shine Moon Pack was bound by its terms, they had to refrain from attacking 19:09 Wed, 28 Feb FD. Chapter 8 the Wade Moon Pack for the next decade. 912% “What suddenly made you change your mind?” I inquired, meeting his gaze. A thought struck me, and my expression turned to a frown. “It’s not because of Alpha Reuben’s influence, is it?” Alex’s demeanor underwent a sudden shift at the mention of Reuben, fear flickered in his eyes. As he drew nearer, his words cut through the air, “I certainly don’t want to risk tangling with Alpha Reuben because of you, Miss Willow.” His blunt words left me reeling. “I had wanted you in my bed to secure my signature on these papers, but I saw the fire in your eyes at that moment. I’m certain that if Alpha Reuben had not intervened, you were close to slapping or breaking my balls for requesting such a condition of you for the treaty. I’ve signed this contract because of your compelling argument about the treaty. You’ve earned it, Miss Willow. Additionally, I have no desire to face Alpha Reuben’s wrath for making advances toward his soulmate. So, I’m marking this meeting as our last to avoid an unfortunate fate,” he elucidated, holding my gaze steadily. Then, without another word, he passed by me. His transformation from the previous night was striking. “Wait, Alpha Alex,” I called out, halting his departure. He paused, turning back to face me. “Since this marks our final meeting, I request that you refrain from disclosing anything about Alpha Reuben and I. I can’t divulge details, but I’d rather keep my personal life out of the rumor mill,” I stated firmly. Alex’s eyes held a mix of surprised curiosity, yet he nodded in agreement. “Even without your request, I wouldn’t dare meddle in Alpha Reuben’s affairs, let alone his personal life, Luna Willow,” he replied respectfully before taking his leave.

I furrowed my brow in annoyance. Why did he keep addressing me as Luna repeatedly? Pushing aside the thought, I focused on the treaty papers with a faint smile. Leaving the study, I sought out Beta Ken, only to find he had left to attend to some pack matters. Handing the papers to the pack’s Gam ma for safekeeping, I made my way to the grand kitchen in the packhouse, intending to prepare breakfast for Wyatt and Lori. Dismissing the Omega to handle other tasks, I took charge of the kitchen. Wyatt and Lori were particular about eating only the food I cooked. I dedicated over an hour to whip up a spread of pancakes, eggs, home fries, and fresh fruit. Additionally, I prepared strawberry milk for them to drink. “Mommy!” Lori dashed into the kitchen in her nightdress with Wyatt trailing behind. her. “My little ones are awake,” I smiled, bending down to plant a kiss on their heads. “Yes, we’ve brushed our teeth already,” Lori chimed in proudly. 2.6 19.09 vveu, zo reu Chapter 8 12% “Good job. Now, go sit at the dining table. I’ve prepared pancakes for both of you,” I instructed. Lori and Wyatt hurried over to the dining table as I brought out the food, setting the platters out one by one for them to enjoy. “Mommy, when are we going to explore the pack?” Wyatt’s excitement was written all over his cute little face. It was the reason he woke up so early this morning. “Uncle Ken promised to show me the pack’s river and woods!” Both he and Lori gazed at me with hopeful shining eyes. Chuckling softly I replied, “First, finish your breakfast. Uncle Ken is occupied at the moment. When he returns from doing his job, he’ll take you both for some fun but you two are going to behave and obey him. No wandering outside alone and no running around, okay?” I served their food and settled into my seat, anticipating Beta Ken’s. return so that we could all have breakfast together. “Mommy, won’t you come with me?” Wyatt’s question held a note of curiosity, sensing something in

my words. I hesitated for a moment, quickly conjuring an excuse. “I have some work to attend to here, so I won’t be able to come along.” I explained, gently ruffling their hair. The thought of me appearing with Wyatt and Lori in the packhouse raised concerns. The pack members had long been curious about the identity of my children’s father. Their presence by my side might provoke gossip and hurtful comments. It was the one of the reasons I had wanted to leave the Wade Moon Pack all those years ago. I didn’t want my children to endure people’s judgmental remarks. Just five minutes later, Beta Ken’s enthusiastic voice echoed through the room. “Willow, you did it, girl!” His excitement was palpable as he held up the treaty papers triumphantly. “Beta Ken,” I smiled, rising from my seat, observing his jubilation that was akin to that of a child, embracing the papers tightly in his arms. “You have no idea what a tremendous feat you’ve accomplished, Willow! You’ve cleared. our biggest obstacle!” Beta Ken’s joy was infectious as he enveloped me in a tight hug. “Thank you so much, Willow! The Alpha will be overjoyed when he hears about this.” Returning his embrace, I chuckled softly. “Thank you, Beta Ken. The Wade Moon Pack is my home too. I’m always ready to assist whenever our pack needs me.” As he released me, a wide smile graced his face. “Alpha Benjamin’s surgery must be concluded by now in Britain. I’ll go and make a call to share this fantastic news with the Alpha,” he said, brimming with excitement, before hurrying off to inform the Alpha. “Beta Ken,” I called out, catching his attention. As he turned toward me, I approached him with a hesitant expression. “Ummm… there is something I need to inform you of.” 19:09 Wed, 28 Feb Chapter 8 “What is it?” He maintained a bright smile. Tm planning to return to Britain tonight.” I revealed. 第12%日 The smile on Beta Ken’s face vanished instantly. “Why? You and the kids just got here last night and you’re already planning to leave? Didn’t the Alpha request that you stay at least a month or two?

What’s the rush?” His displeasure was evident in his tone. “Actually. I have some pending projects that require my attention back in Britain,” I lied, feeling a pang of guilt but it was necessary. My initial plan had been to stay at the Wade Moon Pack for a few days, but circumstances had changed. Reuben’s presence and his discovery of Wyatt and Lori had changed everything. If there was anything that unpredictable and dangerous in this world, it was Reuben. Staying in America felt like dwelling in a tiger’s den. I needed to leave as soon as possible. I’ll inform Alpha Benjamin about the change in plans, I’m sure he’ll understand,” I continued, mustering an innocent blink. “Please, don’t be upset, Beta Ken. I promise I will visit the pack next year,” I promised, hoping to ease any disappointment Beta Ken might feel. He couldn’t maintain his displeased expression and reluctantly conceded, “If that’s what you want, then I won’t stop you. I just hoped you will stay until Sky returns,” he murmured with a hint of disappointment. I’m certain Sky will understand my situation as well. I promise to catch up with him next time,” I assured, flashing a convincing grin that seemed to sway Beta Ken completely. “Fine,” he finally relented, giving in to my playful insistence. Thank you, Beta Ken,” I giggled appreciatively. “But Mommy, we were going to have fun in the pack! How can we go home so soon?” Wyatt protested, hopping down from his chair. Beta Ken chuckled, scooping him up in his arms. “My little rascal, you’re in for loads of fun with me today. Let’s go. We’ve got plenty of time before the flight,” he enthused. “I’m coming too!” Lori dashed toward Beta Ken with quick little steps. “Mommy, bye bye!” I couldn’t help but smile at their infectious excitement as they made their the dining room. way out They deserved that much fun, at least. I took a deep breath, intending to head back to the bedroom and start packing our luggage while they were distracted. Just as I turned, 1 received a call from my assistant, Lola. “Willow, the airline tickets booked for you for tonight have been canceled!” Lola’s voice held a note of concern.

D 19:09 Wed, 28 Feb – Chapter 8 2 12% 0 “How and why?” My frown deepened. I had messaged Lola last night to book the tickets, as I usually did for my travels. While leaving the Alpha Ball. I had already planned. everything in my head, including my escape plan just to make sure that Reuben could not find me here at the Wade Moon Pack. “I’m not sure. The strange part is every time I try to book another flight for tonight or even for tomorrow, it keeps getting declined!” Lola explained with a hint of frustration in her voice. My grip tightened on the phone. Lola had been handling my travel arrangements for years, and this was the first time such an issue had occurred. A sinking feeling settled in my stomach, a sense of foreboding creeping in. “Book a ticket for yourself from America to Britain, I instructed firmly. “Okay,” the sound of rapid typing emanated from the other end before Lola’s shocked. voice pierced through, “It’s booked! But it keeps declining whenever I try to book for you!” The hand holding my phone trembled uncontrollably. How was it possible that only my tickets were being declined? I needed to fly back tonight, but now I was… trapped? But why? And who was…. Before I could process the shock, shouts erupted from outside. “BETA KEN!! BETA KEN!!” I hurriedly rushed out of the packhouse to find a warrior urgently approaching Beta: Ken. He sent Wyatt and Lori with the Gam ma back inside the packhouse and asked, “What’s wrong?” “Beta Ken, someone has breached our territory and overpowered all the wolves. guarding the borders when they tried to stop him!” the warrior exclaimed urgently. “He entered alone?” Beta Ken was shocked. “Only someone insane would attempt such a thing!” he growled in disbelief. Someone insane, breaking in alone? My heart raced at the thought. Stepping forward, I inquired, “Who is it?” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

The warrior glanced at me, then hesitated before responding, “I don’t know. He’s only calling out one name…” Before the warrior could finish his sentence, a voice resonated through the air, “Willow.” I gasped, my eyes lifting to see a figure entering the clearing, dragging two wolves by their fur. My gaze widened in shock, “Reuben.. 19:09 Wed, 28 Feb D.
