Chapter 102
Alpha Benjamin
Nothing made sense to me as everything became even more frightening. Though I knew that it was too late for me to do anything, all I could do was wait.
Dark was deeply in love with Willow for reasons unknown to me. I didn’t dare pry into his obsession with her, especially as I was scheduled to leave the pack in two days, coinciding with the full moon. George once again showed me kindness by inviting me to join the full moon party before my departure. I was consumed by frustrated impatience. I hadn’t trusted Dark from the start and decided to secretly kill George at the party and claim his position. Before I could take action, Luna Eloise’s furious screams shattered my plans.
At the party, I witnessed a tense and dangerous confrontation between Luna Eloise and Dark.
“Don’t you dare come near my daughter!” Eloise’s fury was palpable as she bravely shoved at Dark’s chest, shielding Willow behind her.
As I observed the scene, it became clear that Eloise had sensed Dark’s intentions toward Willow. Perhaps there was more to it than I knew, but one thing was certain: Eloise would not allow Dark to harm her daughter.
“Rose, come to me,” Dark addressed Willow, but she refused to obey him.
Tensions escalated further as George joined Elois used to obey him.
in protecting their daughter, demanding that Dark leave their
pack. Before I could fully grasp the gravity of the situation, Dark took a drastic step and killed George, who had been shielding Willow.
As chaos erupted around me, I watched in horror as the pack members turned on each other, driven by some
unseen force controlled by Dark. The realization hit me like a ton of bricks – Dark was no ordinary wolf. He had the ability to manipulate and control hundreds of wolves simultaneously.
The situation escalated rapidly as mysterious flames engulfed the entire pack territory as Dark’s sinister gaze fixed on Willow. It dawned on me that bringing Dark into the pack was a grave error on my part. He cared for no one and was willing to sacrifice anyone to achieve his own ends, even me.
With the pack consumed by madness and destruction, I knew I had to escape before Dark turned his attention to
me.

As I fled through the woods, desperation coursing through my veins, I tripped over Eloise’s lifeless body lying amidst the flames. The sight of her charred form sent a shiver down my spine, but there was no time to dwell on the horrors around me.
Suddenly I realized that I was the lone survivor other than Willow, who had escaped with help of her mother. Dark had gone so insane over losing her that he destroyed Eloise’s burning body to the point that she could never be recovered. Dark’s obsession with Willow had driven him to madness, leaving a trail of death and devastation in his wake. I realized with a sinking heart that I had brought nothing but death and despair bringing him into our lives.
Standing amidst the ruins of the once–thriving pack, I braced myself for Dark’s wrath, expecting him to end my life as he had done with so many others. However, to my surprise, he spared me, leaving me with a chilling command that weighed heavily on my conscience.
“Find my Rose,” his words echoed in my mind, the nickname he had given Willow sending a shiver down my
spine. His obsession with her escape and his twisted affection for her were all too apparent.
“Use everything at your disposal to find her. One day I will return to collect her. Until then protect her as if she were your own daughter. Protect her like a dog guarding its owner’s food,” that was his last order.
Dark’s final command was not a mere request, it was an executioner’s blade that hung over my head waiting for the day he returned to claim his beloved. Until then, I was to protect her with my life, a duty that I dared not fail
to fulfill.
That fateful night marked the fulfillment of Dark’s promise. However, I had also finally realized who Dark was. Him calling Willow Rose reminded me of a friend that I had made during the years I had survived as a rogue in the woods by chance. The person was into evil things and we were alike in many things. That person became my secret friend, they even helped to swipe babies for Alpha Adam when I requested. He had the similar light powers as Dark but Dark’s powers were deadly as if the powers had been enhanced or refined! That secret friend of mine was actually… Dark!
With George’s demise, the once–peaceful pack of Omegas ceased to exist and I ascended to the role of Alpha. No one remained alive that had known my secret, and I seized the opportunity to rebuild Wade Moon according to my own vision. Assuming the name Wade, I claimed that it was all rightfully mine, and my dreams were finally realized. However there was one strange thing. The whole pack had burnt but not one of the basement room of the packhouse where pack’s papers, old photos and other legal records were kept. No matter how much I tried to destroy it countless time but, they were always there. It was actually Dark’s doing. He intentionally left those papers and photos unburnt so that I could remember my task to find Willow.
The looming threat of Dark’s command weighed heavily upon me. Willow’s absence cast a dark shadow over my

accomplishments, reminding me that my ultimate duty was to find and protect her. Until then, the invisible sword Dark had placed over my neck would continue to perilously hang, a constant reminder of the unfinished task that haunted my every step.
After years of relentless searching, it seemed as though Willow had vanished into thin air. My hopes were reignited when fate brought us together through a car accident, but to my surprise she did not recognize me. It was the perfect opportunity for me when she did not remember who I really was. However, her pregnancy posed a significant threat to my plans, as it indicated that she was no longer a virgin. The thought of Dark discovering this filled me with dread, so I kept my discovery of Willow to myself, formulating a plan in secret.
Then one day I accidentally looked through Willow’s phone. Upon discovering Reuben’s photo in Willow’s phone, I was taken aback by the realization that her soulmate was none other than a dangerous Alpha. To make matters more complicated, he was also the father of twins. Despite my shock, I remained silent pretending to be unaware of her connection to Reuben.
My plan was straightforward: I intended to lure Willow back to America and orchestrate a meeting between her and Reuben. My hope was that Reuben would claim the twins upon discovering their existence, thus alleviating the burden from my shoulders. To set my plan in motion, I fabricated a heart surgery so that I could send Willow to the Alpha Ball in my place, which had been organized by Reuben himself.
Little did I know that Reuben was deeply obsessed with Willow, harboring feelings for her that spanned many years. Instead of simply taking the twins and allowing Willow to return to the Wade Moon Pack as I had anticipated, Reuben ensnared her in his affections, refusing to let her go. My plan backfired spectacularly and as events unfolded it became clear that nothing was going according to my plans.
Everytime I failed in my plan, I used to go to that basement to scratch those old photos to release my stress and anger. It was the only thing I could do.
When I first saw the Shine Moon Pack burning in front of my eyes I had realized that Dark had returned. Years of fear that I had buried deep in my heart resurfaced.
In the end everything I had earned with description and greed, burnt in the fire the same way everything had started. I lost everything, becoming the reason for so much death.
Plus, now Willow was also in danger…
Everyone standing in the room was stunned as they listened to Benjamin’s deathbed confession that he had

used his last breaths to deliver. While Sky was consumed by panic watching his father’s eyes close for the final time.
“Dad!” he called desperately, trying to wake him up only to be pushed away by a furious Reuben.
“Don’t you dare die!” Reuben aggressively grabbed Benjamin’s half burnt face and questioned, “He asked you to inform him about Willow when you found her, that means you know his address or where he lives! Tell me where he is?! Tell me where did he take Willow…”
Reuben paused when Benjamin slitted his eyes open and spoke in broken words. “Save… Willow,” he uttered in a low, fragmented voice.
Reuben’s attention sharpened “Why do you say that?! What do you know?!” he demanded.
Benjamin met his gaze, guilt evident in his eyes as he confessed, “Dark is planning to marry Willow in two days,
on the new moon. If that happens, Willow will become only his.”
Reuben froze in shock. Only his?
