Goddess’s Design His Fated Mate by Pooja

Willow

Balancing a tray of freshly baked cookies, I observed three figures in the

backyard: one large and two small. It was Thanksgiving, and Reuben was playing

football with Wyatt and Lori while I prepared the Thanksgiving meal. Since the

pack feast was scheduled for the evening, everyone was enjoying Thanksgiving

meals with their families at lunchtime, and we would all gather for dinner later.

Reuben, clad only in football shorts, glistened with sweat as it trickled down his

well- defined eight–pack abs. Ceri melted at the side of him while I felt my

throat a little dry. His sweaty hair and chiseled features were breathtakingly

attractive as he dashed after the ball. A sudden tingling sensation filled my

heart. I could not tear my eyes away from him no matter how much I tried.

As the goal neared, Reuben deliberately slowed down, allowing Wyatt and Lori

to chase after the ball. With a swift kick from Wyatt’s short legs, the football

soared into the net. Wyatt and Lori erupted with excited cheers, exclaiming,

“Yay! We won the game! Daddy, you lost!”

“Oh no, I’ve lost again,” Reuben lamented dramatically, collapsing onto the

ground and covering his eyes with his hand as he lay on the grass.

Forgetting about the football, Wyatt and Lori hurried closer to him and settled

on either side, concern etched on their faces. “Daddy, are you sad?” Wyatt

inquired.

“Daddy, are you crying?” Lori asked with a furrowed brow.

Reuben glanced at them affectionately and then enveloped both of their little

bodies in a tight embrace. “No! Daddy is happy!!” he declared with a grin, before

launching into a round of tickles.

The children giggled and squirmed in Reuben’s arms as he chuckled and

embraced them, rolling around on the ground together in joyful laughter.

Unbeknownst to me, my l*ps had been curled into a smile all this time. My heart

warmed at the sight of the three of them, their happiness palpable and

infectious.

Prior to this day, the three of us would celebrate Thanksgiving among ourselves,

and I would go to great lengths to ensure that my children never felt the

absence of their father. Yes, we were content, and each year was memorable in

its own way. However, I had never witnessed my children having so much fun.

With Reuben, they found themselves immersed in unbridled joy, experiencing a

sense of normalcy they had long

yearned for. Growing up without a father for five years, they had finally found

the fatherly love they had always lacked.

Lost in my thoughts, I pondered how long this newfound happiness would last

for my. children and what twists and turns awaited in Reuben and my

relationship during my remaining days in Emerald Bright Pack. But for now, all I

wanted was to see them. happy and together.

As I drifted in contemplation, I noticed Reuben pouring a bottle of water over

himself. The droplets cascaded over his head and down his sculpted ch*st so

perfectly that it stirred something within me, summoning Ceri to my eyes. I

swallowed hard, feeling a rush of emotions surge because of him, until I realized

his gaze was fixed on me. We locked eyes for a fieeting moment before he

fiasheda devilish smirk that caused my heart to skip a beat.

My cars fiushed with heat as I hastily placed the tray of cookies for them to

enjoy and made my way inside the packhouse, only to be suddenly ensnared by

two large hands. from behind.

“Was someone peeking on me?” Reuben inquired, his voice tinged with

amusement.

Startled by his question, I glanced over my shoulder at him. “Who was pecking

on you? I just cto give the children cookies. Don’t get lost in your fantasies.

I don’t have bad habits like peeking on others “I retorted, trying to mask my

own surprise.

“Really?” He abruptly turnedto face him, his arms coiling around my waist

like a snake. “Then who was that girl who used to peek atwhen I played

football on the school grounds, and who would wait forobediently in the

locker room to make love with her?”

A sudden blush spread across my face in shame. “That’s in the past!”

Why was he bringing up our past actions so suddenly? And why the hell did he

remember everything so clearly?! Now, as I thought about it, I realized I had

done a lot of shameful things out of love. One of those was having S*x with

Reuben in the locker room. It was indeed thrilling, and it used to turnon.

There was hardly a day when we kept our hands to ourselves,

“Past?” he raised his brows, sliding his hand down to my ass. “How about we

relive those memories, Willow?” whispering seductively, he slid his one hand

inside my loose top and the other inside my shorts. I was taken back by his

sudden bold move.

“What are you doing?!” Surprised, I grabbed his hand. “Children are outside!”

Instead of growling at him for touching me, children being outside the house

mouth that sounded like I wanted it if children were not there. And Reuben’s

evil grin suddenly make it obvious! Shit! He took it in wrong way. Before I could

explain myself, he made another move.

“Let’s head up to our bedroom,” he pulledinto a deep k*ss. My eyes widened

as I felt his l*ps already started softly caressing mine between the k*sses.

“Our bedroom?!” I broke the k*ss in surprise.

“Yeah, our bedroom, where you’ll be moving very soon,” he liftedup, took a

few steps, and gently pinnedagainst the near wall. “My bedroom, in other

words, our bedroom,” he added seductively, only to capture my l*ps again.

My heart raced wildly when he referred to his room as “our bedroom” and

mentioned that I would soon be moving in. He didn’t seem to be just saying it

casually; he sounded absolutely certain about it. I had already spent a few days

in his room and had shared. his bed a couple of times, which had been

challenging for me. Even if I would control my heart and desire, my b*dy would

betray me. I had even went into the heat becasue of him. So, I couldn’t imagine

how permanently moving into Reuben’s bedroom would play out, especially

when I had a clear idea of his intentions. He desired me. My b*dy and soul. He

yearned to possess me. And my wolf echoed those dark desires. But I feared the

repercussions if I allowed my wolf and heart to follow the path that I had closed

off for myself.

The more I dwelled on it, the more complex my feelings became.

I locked eyes with his closed ones and closed mine as well, his k*ss engulfing
