Goddess’s Design His Fated Mate by Pooja novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36 

Willow 

“I love you Reuben,” Ella confessed, stabbing a sword right through my entire being. 

It was a living nightmare to witness Reuben and Ella k*ssing first hand. Her b*dy flattened against his, l*ps pressed firmly against his. All of my strength, sanity, and emotional control immediately abandoned me in that instant causing the tray to fall from my hand, leaving me miserably smothered. Unable to bear seeing them together, I fled in the direction of my room. 

“WILLOW!” Reuben yelled, chasing after me. 

I put my hand over my mouth to stifle any noises that might escape, my breathing uneven, and my head was spinning, unable to forget what I had seen. They were engaged, soon to be married. Kissing and touching was expected, but a sense of disgust. had risen in my very being. Reuben’s l*ps…they were the same l*ps that he had pressed against mine countless times in the past when we had been together then once again. over the past two days. I was the only one that had a claim over them all this time but now they had been touched by another woman. 

“WILLOW!” When I did not stop, Reuben chased me upstairs. Not wanting to see hist face, I just ran inside my room wanting to lock myself in. Before I had a chance to do it, 

Reuben pushed the door hard, forcing it open. 

“Why are you running?” he charged at me growling furiously, triggering my flight response. “Don’t do that with me, Willow!” He grabbed my arm. 

“Get out!” I screamed, pushing him away before he could get any closer to me. 

I did not want him to see how broken my heart was. I felt betrayed once again, event though I knew that it was wrong for me to feel this way. When I discovered the information about Ella being Reuben’s fiancee and their impending wedding, I had prepared for worse when moving into the packhouse with Reuben. I had turned my heart to stone so that unnecessary feelings would not get in the way as this journey was supposed to end at the sacred cave and rejection. However, witnessing that k*ss between. the two of them was more than enough to steal all the strength that I had managed to accumulate over the past six years. 

“Listen to me,” he begged, grabbing me tightly by the arms. 

“Let go!!” I screamed, struggling in his grasp.

“It is not what you think!” Reuben’s voice rose as he pulled me closer to his chest. He looked into my eyes with his wolf’s eyes and tried to clear up the matter, “Whatever you saw was not true. I did not know Ella was going to k*ss me. I also did not k*ss her back. There is nothing between us… 

“She loves you!” I cut him off, tears threatened to spill over my lashes. I clutched at hist chest, dug my nails in and whispered, “Ella… loves you…” 

He paused, staring at me as our emotions, specifically my pain entangled. He loosened. his grip on my arms, only to sink a hand into m 

hair, and pull me closer to himself. So what if she loves me?” he asked in a very deep voice. 

yes widened at his words. “How could you take Ella’s confession so lightly? She even k*ssed you…” I choked on my words, unable to say more. He…he brushed that k*ss. aside like…it was a normal thing. Or could it be that it was not the first time the two of them had…after all they had been together for six years. The way Ella had confessed to him with a k*ss it did not seem like it was her first time doing something like that. Another blow was delivered to my wounded heart, I was unable to hold back my tears any longer. 

“Willow…” Reuben ran his thumb under my eye where my tears flowed freely. “Does it really matter who loves me when you are the only woman that I have ever loved?” he whispered, looking deep into my eyes as if he were reading my mind. “Does it really matter, hm?” 

More tears rolled down my cheeks at my confession, “What do you mean?” my voice shook. 

“Nothing else matters when we love each other, right?” He lifted my chin and k*ssed my tears away. “Reuben has always loved Willow and will continue to only love her until his dying breath,” he whispered, wrapping me in his arms. “Can’t you trust me this once?” I closed my eyes, the tears continuing to escape as I listened to his frantic heartbeat, Trust…that was something that I had done all my life. That was something I had put completely into only my soulmate until that one word turned into a form of abuse. 

“I can’t forget…” my voice was barely above a whisper. “I can’t forget what I saw…” Reuben pulled away from me a little to look at me, “I can’t forget you and Ella…” I could not bring the word k*ssing to my l*ps. 

“So that’s your answer?” With our gazes locked, I watched Reuben’s heartbreak the same as mine. The only difference was I could shade tears while he…he was drowning in them yet did not shed a single one. The last two days of our being together had been a dream
