Goddess’s Design His Fated Mate by Pooja

gain power and status. “I can’t believe you think so little of me, Reuben,” my

emotions finally broke through. “For the sake of our love and mate bond, I

patiently waited for a year for you. We mated on the day we recognized each

other as mates, but I never asked you to markor reveal our mate bond. I did

everything as you wanted. Now, as the moon goddess has blessed us with a

baby, shouldn’t we accept it?”

My voice echoed in the room as he looked atwith tear-filled eyes.

“Blessing? You already decided it’s a blessing, but did you ever think about me?

Did you consider whether I want a baby or not?” He and his wolf spoke in

unison. I froze in my spot in surprise. Somehow, I felt myself growing distant

from him. It was as if the Reuben I knew had disappeared, as if he had become

someone else. This feeling was frightening for me.

“Reuben, don’t talk like that. Of course, I care about you,” my voice was like a

whisper as I stepped closer to him, but his stern glares tookaback.

“Nonsense,” he growled, turning on his heels to leave. His cold demeanor

alarmed me. He was walking away. The distance between us seemed to be

growing larger, to the point where I could no longer see the love I had once seen

in his eyes.

“Reuben, wait! Don’t go,” I ran after him and held his hand tightly. I couldn’t bear

to lose him. My voice shook, barely audible. “Let’s take a break and deal with

the situation together, okay?” I forced a smile to hide the pain and fear that was

rising in my heart. Reuben had never walked out on our conversations before,

and it scared me.

“Together?!” Reuben snapped, pulling his hand out of my grasp. “I’m thrilled you

even know the meaning of ‘together’ when you decide to becpregnant

without my knowledge,” he accused.

“Reuben…” I couldn’t hold back the tears and broke into sobs. How could he say

such things? Why couldn’t he see that I was also in pain? I could no longer see

warmth and care in his eyes. The happiness I had stored in my heart and

planned to share with him seemed to have vanished. “Please…” I moved closer

to him until our bodies touched. “Please, don’t do this to me. Let’s talk, okay?” I

cupped his face with my cold, trembling hands.

“There’s nothing left to talk about, Willow,” Reuben pulled his face out of my

hands. “I don’t want to see you,” his face showed no emotion as he mercilessly

crushed my heart with his cruel words.

“What?” I bit my l*ps, tears streaming down my cheeks. He did not want to see

me? He hatedthat much? As he turned to leave again, I cried, “Reuben,

please, no…” I tried to follow him.

“Don’t follow me!” he growled in warning and stormed out of the house.

I stood in the middle of the living room, a crying mess. My sobs were covered by

the sound of pack members eagerly shifting into their wolves and heading into

the woods to play and hunt. It was a full moon night, and the whole pack was

waiting for the moon goddess to rise full and bright in the dark sky and bless

them.

I gazed at the wide window where the full moon shone brightly. I touched my

belly. I couldn’t give up. My baby was also a blessing from the moon goddess,

and there was no way it could be unwanted. Wiping my tears away, I left the

house to catch up with Reuben.

He was my soulmate, my lover, my everything. I knew he was angry, but I

believed that once we talked, he would understandand our situation. No

matter how upset he was, he couldn’t ignore his child. He couldn’t ignore the

emotions and feelings of a father. I put on a smile and left my courtyard,

“Willow, where are you going?” My best friend Ella meton the way. She was

heading to join others.

“I’m going to see Alpha Reuben,” I began, but she cutoff.

“Wait, are you also going to visit Alpha Reuben’s fiancée?” She smiled. “She is

really beautiful! No wonder, Alpha fell for her at first sight,” she giggled as she

gossiped.

My face turned pale. “Fiancée?”

Ella nodded, “Yes, Alpha Reuben brought her with him. Didn’t you know…”

“Ella, con! The moon is about to rise. Let’s go into the woods!” She was

about to say more when someone called her name.

“Coming!” she shouted back, shifted into her wolf, and hurried away.

I stood there, frozen in shock. “Reuben… fiancée?” I gasped for air as I found it

difficult to breathe. I had never paid much attention to the rumors about

Reuben’s arranged marriage with the Alpha’s daughter that had been circulating

in the pack for months. I had dismissed it as just another rumor, but it had

turned out to be true. Reuben was… marrying someone else.

I fell to my knees on the ground, tears streaming down my face. From the

beginning, I was well aware that an Omega and an Alpha were impossible

together, but I had held a glimmer of hope in my heart that one day Reuben and

I could be together. I had hoped that all the patience and penance I had shown

towards our mate bond would eventually bear fruit. But now, all my hopes and

dreams were crushed by Reuben’s hatred towards our baby. The child that was

supposed to bring a new beginning to our lives had becthe end of our

mate bond. Reuben had chosen another woman over me. He betrayed me.

Betrayed our mate bond.

I stayed in that sposition for hours, listening to the howls of the pack

members as the moon shone brightly in the sky. I waited, desperately hoping for

Reuben’s return, but he never came. I was abandoned and indirectly rejected.

I clenched my chest, my wolf cried in pain in my head. Now, in my pregnant

state, I had neither a soulmate nor a pack.

Heartbroken, I returned to my house, packed my belongings, and left the pack

forever.
