THANE'S POV“You will find out for yourself and maybe then you will understand the gravity of bringing a total stranger who is not your mate into this pack or is she your mate???” Emmy asked as my blood began to boil.The tension between Emmy and me had been building for weeks, but it finally exploded in the middle of the pack house hallway. “Tyla is my business and none of yours so keep your fucking mouth shut and keep moving.” I said.I was about to walk away when Emmy said something that struck a nerve.“Once a coward, always a coward…they should have made me the Alpha of this pack instead of you because I have more potential than you.”His words hit me like a punch to the gut and before I could think, I lunged at him, my fists flying. Emmy retaliated, and the two of us were soon locked in a vicious fight, our anger and resentment boiling over.---The sound of snarls and growls echoed through the hallway as we shifted into our wolf forms. Our claws slashing at each other with a
TYLA'S POV“Let's just leave it and head back to the pack house Tyla…it's dangerous here anyway.”Lilian said.“Lilian, are you sure you are okay???” I asked.“I am fine or I will be fine.” She said.I could see the sadness in her eyes and it was the same one I had when I was greatly disappointed by my mate's actions towards me.That look when one's expectations are being shattered is the same look I could see on Lilian's face.The walk back to the pack house with Lilian was quiet and the air between us heavy with unspoken thoughts.Lilian's distraction ever since we encountered her mate earlier heightened and I could tell her mind was elsewhere. She kept glancing over her shoulder and her expression a mix of fear and longing, and I couldn’t help but feel for her. As we approached the edge of the forest, I noticed a figure standing in the distance. My heart skipped a beat as I realized it was Lilian’s mate. He was waiting for us, his eyes locked on Lilian and his expression was unr
TYLA'S POV“Lilian??” I whispered softly in shock.I had a whole lot of questions on my mind at that moment but I decided to keep mute and observe what happened next.Lilian walked over to where Thane and I stood.“Greetings Alpha.” she said as she bowed her head in courtesy.I looked at her in confusion because I was pretty positive I heard her call Thane by his name and now, she addressing him as Alpha felt too weird.“I deeply apologize if you could smell another male on Tyla and the truth is that the male you smell on her is my mate…you can confirm by sniffing me and you would notice I smell the same…I met him a few minutes ago and after he initiated a conversation with me, Tyla excused us to talk privately hence the reason you saw her alone.” Lilian said.“You are saying this to cover up for her!!!” Thane bit out.At that moment, only the moon goddess could attest to the fact that I was so close to rolling my eyes.I had no idea what Thane's problem was but I was very positive I
THANE'S POV“All better now.” I whispered.I couldn't perceive that other man's scent on her anymore except mine.The room was quiet as the air was thick with the scent of desire and satisfaction.Tyla stood still as her body was still trembling from our encounter.My mark stood out starkly against her neck, a reminder of what had just happened and what I had just done.I couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride as I looked at her and my wolf Shawn, growling softly in approval. She was mine and no one could take her away from me.I leaned down on her again as my lips brushed against the mark I had left on her neck. The taste of her skin was intoxicating and I couldn’t resist licking the mark again.“Thane.” Tyla whispered.“What…”“I may have rejected you, but you’re mine…Mine to keep.” I said possessively. For the first time in what felt like forever, I felt at peace. The tension that had been building between us was gone, replaced by a sense of calm and contentment.But that peac
TYLA'S POV“Come with me.” Thane's Mother said as she walked away.I followed behind her without any questions.We walked out of the pack house to an adjourning house which was equally as beautiful as the pack house.I had no idea there was another part of the pack house and that it was so close to the pack house and I was even more surprised at how big it was.I looked around in awe and I am sure Thane's Mother must have noticed because as soon as I saw her, I could see a smile on her face.“You like???” She asked.“Yes ma'am.” I said as I nodded.“I told you before to refer to me as Sherleen or Mom because I am no longer a stranger to you.”“I know ma'am but it's going to be a bit difficult.” I said.“Don't worry dear…you will get used to it…anyway this part of the pack house was built before the original one…my husband, Thane's Late Father, before he became the Alpha of the pack built this place and this is where we ruled side by side until I birthed Thane and Emmy…we need a much
THANE'S POVAfter Rico told me about the attack on Emmy, I quickly rushed over to where he was and could see that he was bleeding profusely through the side of his stomach.“What weapon did they use on you, Emmy??” I asked.“A Silver stake.” He bit out as he groaned painfully.“Shit!!” I cursed out.Silver stakes were one of the most dangerous weapons used to kill a werewolf because it weakens us almost immediately so that the attack will be swift.I wrapped his hands around my shoulders and lifted him up from the ground as he screamed in pain.“Rico, can you handle things here??” I asked.“Yes of course Alpha….I'll finish things up.” Rico said as I took Emmy back to the pack.I arrived at the clinic and informed a guard to tell my Mother to come to the clinic.A few minutes later, my Mother rushed in alongside Tyla.“Where is he??” She asked.“Already undergoing treatment…he was attacked with silver.” I said.“Oh goodness, he must be in so much pain.” “He can handle it.” I said.“Ar
TYLA'S POVThe moment Thane’s mother received the news about Emmy being attacked, her face paled, and she immediately grabbed my hand, pulling me along as we rushed to the pack clinic. My heart was pounding and my mind was racing with worry. Emmy was Thane’s brother, and despite everything, I didn’t want anything bad to happen to him.My main concern was also with my mate and I didn't know if all was well with him.When we arrived at the clinic, the atmosphere was tense.We met Thane at the clinic and my eyes immediately went to him, searching for any signs of injury, but he seemed unharmed.Where is he??” Thane's Mother asked.“Already undergoing treatment…he was attacked with silver.” Thane said.“Oh goodness, he must be in so much pain.” “He can handle it.” Thane bit out.“Are you okay??” She asked him.“Yes I am…I'll be heading back now…take care of things here Mother.” Thane responded to his Mother.“I will son.” She said as turned around and walked away. Relief washed over m
TYLA'S POV“You heard me…return the slap.” Thane said.I looked at Thane and to Bridget and even Rico and I could see the shocked looks on their faces…all except Thane.Thane's look was a serious one and I knew he wasn't joking about what he asked me to do.“What are you saying Thane?? You are joking right??” Bridget asked as she scoffed.“Tyla, did you hear me??!!” Thane yelled as I and even Bridget flinched in fear.“Thane??? How can you ask your plaything to slap me in the presence of everyone??!!! Are you insane??” Bridget bit out.“Tyla, this is your chance…give that bitch a slap…mate is behind you.” Lyra said.“What are you saying Lyra?? Someone who doesn't like me asked me to give a slap to his brother's mate!! She would kill me and Thane me won't be around to do anything about it.” I said.“Scaredy cat.” Lyra said as she blocked me out.“I..c.. can't.” I muttered softly.“What did you just say???” Thane asked with a dangerous tone.“Thane!!! Are you listening to me!!!” Bridget
TYLA’S POV“I love your confidence and what you did and don’t worry…I have a perfect plan we can use in getting back at the Alpha.”“Lilian…I really don’t want any of that and besides I was the reason why Thane reacted the way he did.” I said.“Don’t say that..he had no right accusing you of enjoying the kiss anyway when it was Aurelius who started it.”“You think so??” I asked.“I know so…now you are going to do everything I ask you to do okay and you can’t object to any of it…promise.”“Why does this sound like a trap??” I asked with my eyebrow raised.“Do you trust me??” “Of course I trust you Lilian.”“The promise you are going to do exactly as I instruct.”“Alright, I promise.” I said.“First we need to give you a makeover and look for a means to cover that nasty bruise on your stomach before it heals.” she said.“Okay, that’s not bad.” I said with a smile.“And also, Aurelius has a huge part to play in my plans.” Lilian said.“No..no..no…I am done with Aurel…I don’t even want t
TYLA’S POVAfter a while, I picked myself up from the ground as I walked down to the mirror in my room.I lifted my dress up and saw a very horrible bruise on my stomach.It was so bad that it had a mixture of pink and purple colours and it wasn’t healing due to the fact that my wolf wasn’t active and I had not shifted.I knew Thane was cruel and I knew he didn’t love me as much as he said he did but I never expected him to hurt me this way regardless of whatever I said to him that got him angry.I only spoke out of a place of hurt as he had accused me of doing what I wasn’t guilty of hence the reason for my reaction but this pain I currently was feeling was a pain I didn’t deserve to feel.I took off all my clothes and walked into the bathroom to freshen up and feel better but it was only worse because the pain intensified whenever water touched it.The only thing I could do was to sit on the bathtub and just wait till I felt better.After it felt like forever, I walked out of the ba
TYLA'S POV“Thane!!!” I yelled.He suddenly looked at me as I gasped in fear.His eyes were completely dark in colour and it was like I couldn't even recognize my own mate.“I will be back for you.” He said as he turned towards Aurelius.Aurelius suddenly stood up from the ground and Thane hit it again and this time it was harder than the first time.Aurelius hit the ground again as I heard cracks.Thane was not himself and if anything wasn't done, he would kill his own brother.“I thought I warned you to stay the fuck away from my mate??!!!” Thane asked in rage.“She is not your mate!!!!” Aurelius bit out as he attacked Thane.I watched helplessly as both of them got into a tussle and it wasn't a sight to see.Suddenly Thane shifted into his wolf form and as soon as Aurelius shifted too, I ran and stood in between them.“Tyla, get out of the fucking way!!” Thane threatened through a mind link.“If you want to do anything to me, now is your chance because I am not going to allow you a
TYLA'S POV“Don't do that Lilian, please tell me..”“I love you so much Tyla but I can't…you will have to wait to find out.” Lilian said as she winked at me.“Lilian, can I ask you a question??”“Of course…ask me anything.”“What would happen if Thane is removed or dismissed as the Alpha of this pack??” I asked.“Why would you ask such a thing, Tyla?? Don't allow anyone to hear you.”“Well please just answer my question.”“Well, it will be a huge disgrace and shame to not only him but his entire household and since he will no longer be the Alpha of the pack, he might be asked to leave the pack and settle elsewhere or worse case scenario, he would serve as a low rank werewolf, am omega under the current Alpha.”As soon as Lilian said those words, fear gripped me.I didn't understand how Thane could be so stubborn as to do nothing about the current situation even when he was quite aware of the consequences.I had to do something and that too as fast as I could.“Another question, who is
THANE'S POV“What sort of a joke is this??? How can you call us here only for you to apologize to him and retract your verdict??” Emmy asked as I could see the anger on his face.c“Be quiet!!! You of all people do not have any right whatsoever to question our decisions.” One of the elders said to Emmy in anger.“My elders, please do not be angry….he only said that because aside from him, we all are confused about this new development….when the chief elder called for a meeting, he sounded serious about it and now hearing this all of a sudden is somewhat strange.” My Mother said.“We know exactly what has happened and the person we owe an apology to is the Alpha and not anyone else…as the elders of this pack, we have a right to make some decisions and also Change our minds in the same regard and no one except the Alpha has any right to question us.” The chief elder said.The more the elders spoke, the more confused I was because all of time as the Alpha of this pack, whenever the elder
THANE'S POVAs soon as I instructed Tyla to go and stay with Lilian, I went straight into my Mother's chambers.“Son, when did you get back??.” She asked.“A while ago, look Mother first of all, I came to let you know that I am not pleased with what you told me earlier on…who gave the elders the right to decide when I am supposed to have my mating ceremony??? Do they think my life is a joke??”“Thane, you made your life a joke when you rejected the mate the moon goddess provided for you and then she decided to make a joke out of it after sending your brother as her second chance mate.”“He is not my fucking brother!!! I don't know where you picked him up from but you should have let me rot there.”“Mind your words Thane, you are speaking to your Mother.”“Look Mother, I know I made a mistake by rejecting Tyla but I am currently making amends but that doesn't mean I should be forced into doing what I don't want to do.”“What is wrong in getting intimate with your mate Thane??? Or are y
TYLA'S POVI opened my eyes wide open as I realized what I had done.“I am so sorry.” I said almost immediately.“No, I am the one who should be sorry….my attitude earlier on was totally uncalled for and I deeply apologize.” Thane said.“What Is the matter Thane?? Is there something more that you aren't telling me???” I asked as tears gathered in my eyes.“It's not that Tyla…it's just that I wanted to do the mating ceremony with you in a proper way.” He said.“What do you mean by mating ceremony??” I asked in confusion.Thane suddenly burst into laughter.“What do you think a mating ceremony is, Tyla?? It's not necessarily marking one's mate..it's mainly being intimate as it strengthens the bond between mates.”“Oh…I thought it was mainly marking one's mate.” I said.“No Tyla…and the fact that the elders wants me to do it before the next full moon just makes me angry…I don't want to be intimate with you out of your will or because some elders forced us into doing so.”“Is that the rea
TYLA'S POV “Wait Thane?!! I yelled.” “Yes??” “Can I come with you??” I asked. Deep down, I wanted to go with Thane.” “No Tyla, you aren’t coming with me.” he said. “But why?? I want to come with you please ” “You need to rest Julia…you can come with me later or some other time but for now, you aren’t leaving the four walls of this room.” “But I don’t want to stay here.” I said. “Tyla, I thought you wanted to rest?? Why are you suddenly changing your mind???or do you want me to stay here with you??” he asked. “Yes please.” I badly wanted to say. “No…that is not the case..it’s just that I am not feeling tired anymore and so I want to go with you.” “Tyla, I won’t say this again…you are resting and that is final.” He said. He took my hand and gently pulled me to the bed as I pouted and grumbled. After lying down, he covered my body with the duvet and kissed my forehead. “I know you are a stubborn little one but this is not the time for that…I have serious busi
TYLA'S POVWARNING- MATURE CONTENT AHEAD**********Thane walked into the bathroom with me.As he approached me slowly, my heart rate increased in pace as his intense gaze met mine.His eyes darkened and he stalked towards me like a predator just like in my dreams.“Can I??” he asked as he looked at my clothes asking for permission to remove them.I nodded my head in approval as I couldn't find any words to say.Slowly, he pulled off my clothes leaving me in just my bra and panties.His eyes darkened more as he looked at me from head to my toe.“You are beautiful, Tyla.” he said in almost a whisper.“Thank you.” I replied as I blushed hard.His hands played with the hem of my bra as his eyes never left mine. He suddenly caressed my boobs as I bit my lips to suppress a moan.“Don’t bite those lips or I will do them for you.” he warned.As his hands worked his way on my boobs, I held onto him for support as I moaned loudly in pleasure.He moved his hands to my back and with just a sing
