Reuben
“Dark is going to marry Willow…” I stood there stunned as I watched Alpha Benjamin’s chest rise and fall, his breaths coming in shallow gasps. Suddenly, he stopped breathing altogether and the room fell silent except for the flat beep of the machines. Sky fell to his knees, his eyes wide with shock as he saw his father lying motionless on the hospital bed.
I stared at the scene in front of me with dead eyes, my wolf wanting to destroy everything in its path at this point. The only thing that he had been able to tell me was that my mate was going to be tied to
some other man.
6e only man who knew about Dark and his whereabouts was dead.
“Alpha Reuben,” Sky called. “Does this Dark have mismatched eyes? One green and one
black?” he murmured.
I glanced at Sky, who was sitting on the floor looking disheveled and horrified for some
reason.
“How do you know?” I demanded because Alpha Benjamin had never mentioned the color of Dark’s
. I had never seen them until three days ago in Wade Moon.
He looked up at me with wide eyes, his whole body sweating profusely. “I remember him now. The shadow that used to stalk Willow eleven years ago…
Willow was kind from the beginning, but that single act of kindness towards him cost her everything. She should have ignored the man when he was standing on the riverbank. She should have walked away when he was ready to throw himself into the water. She should have never grabbed his hand and saved him. She should have never crossed paths with…
Dark.
“Have you lost your mind?” Dark opened his eyes to find a girl with beautiful blue eyes, resembling those of a little white cat, holding his hand. Her eyes were filled with concern, completely unaware that he wasn’t committing suicide but merely wanted to taste what death felt like. However, upon seeing her he suddenly changed his mind. Her soft hand holding his large one felt cold as it trembled, as if she were the one on the verge of falling into the river. “You should never stand on the edge. You could die!” With both hands, she desperately attempted to pull Dark back to safety, unaware of the look in Dark’s eyes.
Dark’s heart quickened uncontrollably at the sight of her indescribable beauty, and the scent emanating from her made him crazy with need.
Looking at her flushed rosy cheeks, he tightened his grip on her hand and pulled her into the river with him. She screamed, thrashing her arms and legs in the water even though she couldn’t swim. Dark watched as she began to drown before his eyes. Stretching out his arms, he pulled her closer to his body. She immediately clung to him as if he were a lifeline. Her wet body pressed against his completely, until he could feel every curve of her. Her reckless

act ignited a flame inside him.

Taking deep breaths and panicking, Willow looked up at Dark, to find him eyeing her. “Why did you pull me in?” she scolded, but all he could see was her small face, mere inches away from him. Her big, fearful eyes were watery, her small mouth spewing scolds was juicy, and her voice was just seductive enough to make him hard. However, her scent… it was indescribably addictive and mouthwatering to him.
His eyes shone when he realized the scent coming from her was not ordinary. He couldn’t help but take a bite of her neck, tasting her blood. The metallic yet sweet taste of her mixed in his mouth euphoric as his mind was blown from the shock. She had evil blood in her, blood capable of attracting other evil, even rogues, to her.
He stared at her like a lunatic. The flower he had been looking for, for years, was finally in his grasp. Her mother or one of her ancestors must have had evil blood that she inherited, resulting in her having blood made just for Dark. She was his…
“Ow… that hurt!” Willow pulled away from Dark and swam to the riverbank with great difficulty. Once she stepped on the riverbank, she glared at him. “I tried to save you and you bit me! If you want to die then go die outside my pack. Don’t dirty the water!” With that, she turned around and quickly left, glancing back at him once with scared eyes. His mismatched eyes were frightening to her.
What really sent shivers down her spine was the smile forming in his eyes as he eyed her wet back. She immediately turned around and tried to run, only to bump into someone. She gasped and looked up, only to find Dark standing in front of her. Her eyes widened in shock as to how he appeared before her so suddenly.
“You… how did you…” she trailed off, frozen in fear.
He leaned closer to her face and asked, “What’s your name, Rose?”
“Rose?” Willow blinked at him, still frozen in fear. “Why are you calling me Rose?” His lips – curled into an evil smile.
“Beautiful yet wild, you are my… Rose,” Dark said.
That day Willow ran away, but before she could tell anyone about the creepy encounter, she heard rumors of Alpha Benjamin’s nephew having mismatched eyes and being mentally challenged.
Thinking him crazy like Alpha Benjamin had insinuated, she didn’t pay much attention to what happened with Dark. However, from that moment on, she started getting the feeling that someone was stalking her from the shadows. Of course, whenever she would turn, there was only darkness. She never realized that it had always been Dark hanging around wherever she was. He had become addicted to her scent, her beauty, and her, to the point he could not stay away from her.
“Why are you here again?” Willow frowned upon finding him on the riverbank for the third

consecutive day. She had no idea that he knew the entirety of her schedule by heart, “Aren’t you Uncle Benjamin’s nephew? Don’t you have a place to stay?”
Dark grabbed her hand and pulled her down to sit next to him. “Am I bothering you that much, Rose? Do you love this river that much?” Whenever he called her Rose, her heart squeezed in
panic for an unknown reason.
Dark looked deep into her eyes, realizing that she had never been touched by a man before because as soon as their bodies touched, she pulled away as if her body was on fire. It irritated him to no end. She was never supposed to move away from him, but he let it go this once, deciding to train her slowly. “I don’t like water,” she claimed, her eyes shining beautifully under the night sky.
“Then what do you like?” Dark asked, intentionally acting mentally challenged around her.

“I like fire,” her eyes held a different shine when she talked about fire.
“You like fire?” the corners of Dark’s lips curled into a smile. “How much do you like it?” he questioned.
She was silent for a couple of seconds before she replied, “So much that I wish that flames ignited and caught every part of the pack until the flames grew to such heights that they reached the sky,” she giggled at her own crazy words but her desire was stored in Dark’s mind.
“My Rose loves fire,” he murmured under his breath.
Whenever he stalked her, she could never find him even though she felt him and slowly she believed she had misunderstood the situation. She was like a carefree bird, lighthearted even when changing clothes. The time he saw her naked, he could not sleep for days. It was as if the was on a drug that made his cock never get soft as it begged for her tight little He wanted her…
pussy alone.
“Why do you always come here? You’ve been doing it for over a week now. This is my hiding spot,” she complained.
“Hiding spot? What is so special about it?” he continued his act of being mentally challenged like usual.
She threw her school bag down and sat on the riverbank a few feet away from him, “Whenever I am angry or sad, I come here. Whenever I want to get away from the world, I‘ come here,” she murmured, dipping her hand in the water. He watched her fingers move in the water, finding it seductive, struggling to control himself from throwing her to the ground and fucking her right there.
His cock hardened in his pants at the sight of her smooth long legs fueled by the image of her naked figure imprinted in his mind. “Who pissed you off then?” His voice was grave.
“Everyone! I just hate everyone!” She slapped the water. “I can’t go here or there! I can’t do

this or that!” Her face flushed as her eyes grew watery. “I just hate the whole world, even this pack.”
He moved closer to her, lifting her chin with a finger. “Want me to kill them?”
She looked at him in stunned silence for a moment, “What?! No!” Her eyes widened like an owl’s.
He felt a thirst burning inside him, “Why? Don’t you hate them?” he raised his brows, inching closer to her lips.
She froze under his touch once again, her eyes full of fear at their close proximity. “I…” she opened her mouth in panic, watching him getting closer to her before she pulled away in alarm. “I… hate
them but I don’t like blood or death!” she scrambled back.
“Then what?” he crawled closer this time, not letting her escape.
Her face turned white in fear when he touched her inner thigh as she nearly shouted out of fear, “I just want them all to disappear!!” With that, she got up and ran away without looking back.
Watching her retreating figure, Dark lay on the riverbank with an insane smile on his lips. “Disappear?”
Willow raced all the way back to the packhouse and shut herself in her bedroom. She had never been touched in the way Dark had. It triggered and scared her to the point that she started relating it to the dreams that she had been having for the past few nights. With shaking hands, she pulled out the camera she had installed in her room for protection at night. When she checked the footage, her mind was blown at the horror it revealed. Dark was in her room. The shadow that always seemed to be around her was Dark. He had not just been in her room, he had also stayed nearly the whole night, watching her and touching her however he wanted. Terrified, she dropped the camera. The dreams she had been having that someone was touching her were not actually dreams but a terrifying reality. Once she raised her eyes to look at the window, Dark was standing out there in the dark, smiling up at her, and the camera on the floor was destroyed.
She was so scared that she went to tell a friend about it, but whoever she tried to tell about Dark, that person started disappearing right in front of her eyes. The shock of it was too much for her to handle, combined with the fear of losing her parents if she told them about Dark crushed her completely. All she could do was keep her mouth shut and live in fear.
From that day forward, she began sleeping with her mother in her room. She stopped going to the riverbank and rarely left the packhouse. She would even hide if she crossed paths in the pack with Dark. Her actions of distancing herself just messed with Dark’s mind. He was on the verge of bursting into a frustrated tantrum, when the Full Moon party arrived. That same night he saw Willow
with a male friend. She had a little crush on that boy to begin with, so when they were together, she forgot about Dark for a short period of time and went for a walk to the woods with him, unaware that Dark was watching her like an enraged beast. The moment he saw them holding hands, the little shred of sanity that he had bee

snapped. Her blushing cheeks, her smiling lips were for that boy, not for Dark. All she had was fear in her eyes when she was with him. She did not even look at him with those eyes. She ignored him like the plague while having a love affair with some other random guy.
Just as she closed her eyes to let the boy kiss her, his pain filled screams echoed in her ears. She opened her eyes in confusion and was startled when hot blood splashed on her face. Her eyes met with the boy’s severed head.
“AHHHH….” she screamed in pure shock and fear. Her eyes and mouth grew wide at the sight of Dark holding the boy’s head. “How dare you let another man touch you?” He tossed away the boy’s lifeless body aside, clearing his path to Willow. Seeing such a frightening scene, she was bathed in her own sweat, unable to speak anything until he advanced closer to her.
“MOM!” Screaming and crying in fear, she tried to run away but failed.
“COME HERE BITCH!” He grabbed her by the hair and pinned her to the ground.
“LET ME GO!!” she shrieked loudly, unable to struggle and terrified of him pressing his hardness against her ass.
“If you were that in heat, you should have come to me, your mate,” he growled at her, lifting her skirt up. “Now I will fuck every bit of heat out of you.”
“NOOO!! DON’T!!” she sobbed uncontrollably. The more she cried, the harder he got. Just as he was ready to shove his cock inside her…
“Willow!” I arrived. Dark paused and raised his head to glance at me. I was rooted in place, seeing him pinning Willow to the ground, but what scared me to death was his mismatched eyes filled with rage. He… he was going to kill me. Willow took that opportunity to hit Dark with a sharp stone.
“FUCKKK…” Dark groaned in pain when the stone hit too close to his throat. Once his grip loosened on Willow’s body, she successfully ran away.
When Willow escaped, I also fled the pack in fear. I had snuck back to Wade Moon to meet with Willow after she had messaged me about a dangerous stalker with mismatched eyes. She had told me how she met him and what he had done to her. Of course, after seeing Dark first hand I returned to my grandma’s pack right away.
However as it turned out, Willow was not that fortunate. Dark killed her dad and our pack members in front of her eyes. Her mother tried to help he

make a run for it. She was half naked, bleeding, yet a running Willow watched her mother die by Dark’s sadistic hands. Despite all that Willow did as she was told, when her mother kept mind– linking her not to stop. Hide forever and never reveal her surname to anyone.
With the severity of the assault, all the deaths she witnessed first hand, and the fire that consumed the only life she had ever known, it’s no wonder that the trauma forced her to forget everything as a way to cope with the fact that she escaped.”
Sky was in tears when he ended the story.
All this time whenever I heard about Willow’s suffering, the image of her wounded and battered body from the last time Dark had tried to violate her crossed my mind.
I turned around and left the hospital feeling pain all over my body and soul.
“Reuben, where are you going?” Oran rushed after me.
“To get Willow,” I murmured emotionlessly.
He was stunned, “You know where Willow is?” Then he shook his head and changed the question instead, “Do you know who Dark is?” All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
When he asked, I stopped at the sight of the person Ella and Walter had brought back with them. Alpha Louis. He was already frozen at the sight of me.
I finally recalled where I had seen Alpha Benjamine in the past…. “I think I know who Dark is..” I replied.
