Chapter 90
Willow
“This Alpha Prince is kidnapping his princess.”
The sound of him calling me princess caused my heart to skip a beat. His possessive grip on my hand and the love–filled playfulness in his eyes, which never strayed from me, captured my heart once more, making me fall in love with him all over again as if it were the first time.
I truly felt like a princess, ready to soar through the highest clouds in the skies with him.
Some time later, we reached a part of the forest that was dense and cooler than other areas. We paused
our brisk pace and walked hand in hand, savoring the melodic chirping of birds and the breathtaking
beauty of nature surrounding us. However, the man beside me seemed more enthralled by admiring my face than anything else.
My cheeks flushed under his continuous gaze. “Stop it,” I shyly rebuked.
“If I only knew how,” he murmured, gently tucking a strand of hair behind my ear, which matched the hue of my reddened cheeks.
His playful flirtation made my heart flutter, I bashfully averted my gaze only to realize that our surroundings appeared eerily familiar. For a brief moment, as we continued our walk, I attempted to recall our destination but found myself at a loss.
“Where are we headed?” I inquired, looking up at him with curiosity.
The corner of his li*ps curved into a slight smile. “You’ll soon find out,” he teased.
His response only fueled my curiosity and excitement. When we finally arrived at our destination, I was taken aback.
Before me lay a dead end, yet the breathtaking sight of the sun setting behind the distant mountains unfolded before us.

“This is…” I uttered, gazing up at Reuben in surprise and disbelief.

“The sunset point where we used to meet every evening,” he smiled, leading me to the edge where we had always sat together. My heart began to race with each step I took.
It felt as though I had been transported back to the past, to the time when Reuben had first introduced me to this spot, which had gradually become our secret rendezvous point. It held a myriad of cherished. memories from my life that were etched into my heart.
“It’s absolutely stunning,” I murmured, leaning against his shoulder as we admired the sunset and the birds returning to their nests.
“Ever since you returned, I’ve been wanting to bring you to this place,” Reuben said, glancing down at my face with happiness evident in his beautiful green eyes, which seemed to shine even more brightly under the evening sky. “Do you like it?”
“I love it,” I confessed.
“I love it too,” he replied, planting a gentle k*iss on the top of my head. I closed my eyes, reveling in his warmth. It all felt like a dream to me.
We sat there for quite a while, reminiscing about the delightful moments we had shared in that spot in the past. Laughter filled the air as we recalled the time when I had panicked, convinced that someone had found us in our secret meeting place, only to discover it was just a mischievous raccoon. Reuben had teased me endlessly about that particular incident, and now, once again, he chuckled at the memory.
“Don’t laugh,” I pouted. He laughed harder, pinching my cheek. I narrowed my eyes at him, prepared for retaliation.
I recounted the instance when he had practically sprinted to the sunset point with a murderous intent, suspecting someone was making advances toward me, only to find me conversing and giggling with a rabbit. I had laughed my ass off when he had appeared half shifted. He had been embarrassed at that moment. To my surprise, he had even gotten jealous with the little rabbit sitting on my lap. He chased the rabbit away with a warning that if he dared to make a move towards me or returned then he would eat it!

Reuben’s laughter faded as I playfully pointed out those moments from our shared past.
“No need to laugh so much. It’s not that amusing,” he pouted.
“Ohh… did I upset the Alpha Prince again?” I grinned from ear to ear, playfully pinching his cheek just as
he had done to me earlier.
I intended to tease him, but instead of getting irritated, he seemed to enjoy it. As his li*ps formed into a charming smile, I paused, feeling my cheeks grow warm. Slowly, I released his cheek, intending to pull
away, but he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me into his lap.
“Why did you stop?” he murmured, capturing my lips. “Keep teasing me, Willow” he urged, trailing gentle kisses along my skin, teasing me with each touch. “Tease me to death.”
Smiling shyly, I closed my eyes and returned his ki*ss. He immediately deepened it into a passionate
embrace.
For the first time, we were alone in this place without any fear of being discovered. Now, we were more than just lovers. We were soulmates.
“Willow,” Reuben gently broke the kis*s.
I slowly opened my eyes to meet him, our li*ps merely an inch away from each other.
“Hmmm?” Smiling, I asked.
“I am sorry,” he suddenly apologized, his eyes filled with regret.
“For what?” confused, I touched his cheek.
“For hurting you six years ago,” he started speaking. I froze when he suddenly mentioned that day, “Instead of telling you how happy I was to become a father, I blamed you and said hurtful things that I don’t even believe. Instead of accepting our child and the happiness that I shared with you, I pushed you away. I left you with no other choice but to run away from me yet I blamed you for escaping,” he admitted.

his finger through a tear under my eye. “Please allow me to be with you for the rest of your life as I pay
for my crimes,” he begged, his eyes filled with guilt and hurt. “Let me love you until the end of my life.
Never leave me…

Crying, I nodded and hugged him. “Willow can never leave Reuben. Even if one can’t see it, it is still
there…”
