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
LYRA’S POVThe awful smell of blood hit me as I looked at my clothes and saw blood dripping from it.I looked around as the world suddenly became slow and then saw bulging eyes gazing intensely at me and their lips moving but couldn't be heard by me.They pointed their fingers and I looked at their lips trying to figure out what they were saying.“Murderer!!!” one of them said as he pointed towards me.I couldn’t understand what he meant by that as I looked on in confusion.“Bloody killer.” another said.Just as my eyes fell to the ground , I saw the lifeless body of my parents lying there.My life flashed before my eyes as the air suddenly became thinner and my breath quickened.I opened my mouth but empty words came out.“Eat their bodies!!!! It’s all your fault, cursed child!!!” another yelled.I dropped down on my knees as I stretched my hands and touched my Mother’s face.It was as cold as ice as I suddenly felt goosebumps around my body.Tears dropped down my face as I shaked he
THANE’S POVI quickened my pace as my climax hit me.“Yessss Thane!!!” the brunette moaned out.I removed myself from her and laid back on the bed as I tried to catch my breath.“That was so good Alpha….can we go again??” she asked as her hands moved around my body.I caught her hands before it could reach my torso and glared at her.“Get out.” I said.The smile on her face dropped suddenly as she looked at me with confusion.I was not one to get attached with women especially when I know they are just good f**ks and nothing more than that.“Why, what did I do wrong??” she asked.The kinds of people I hated the most were the dumb ones who couldn't assimilate simple statements.“Are you deaf??” I asked in irritation.“I am not..but.”“I said leave!!!!!” I thundered.She hurriedly got up from the bed, got dressed and left the room in a flash.I haven't been in a good mood for a few days now after hearing that some measly rogues killed some of my warriors some days ago.It was my sole g
TYLA’S POV “I, Tyla Niver, accept your rejection.” I said. I felt great pain as I accepted his rejection and it felt like the inside of me was about to be ripped apart. I looked at him and could see the shocked expression on his face and that could only mean that he wasn’t expecting me to accept the rejection. “Who do you think you are to accept my rejection???!!” he thundered in anger. “What would you have me do then??? You just insulted and rejected me and the right thing to do is to accept your rejection.” I said softly. “How dare y…” “Alpha Thane!!! Alpha Crane has been looking all over for you and he needs your attention as soon as possible.” Someone said as he interrupted my mate or rather my ex mate. From my guess, the person seemed like his aide or beta because I have never seen such a face in the park before. “As for you, do not think in that little head of yours that I am done with you….you will regret accepting my rejection.” Alpha Thane said as he walked a
TYLA’S POVI squinted my eyes open as a bright reflection flashed in.“She is finally awake.” A voice said.“Am I dead??” I asked as I looked around in confusion, not being able to recognize where I was.“No dear, you aren’t dead.”“Then where am I and who are you??” I asked.“You are currently at the Pack Clinic and you have been unconscious for a few days now.”“Pack Clinic??? Since when did the pack Clinic change??” I asked as I looked around in confusion.I knew our Pack Clinic so well that if I was asked to describe it from a deep slumber, I could but this one was looking completely different.“Oh dear, you aren’t in your previous pack anymore.” The lady said.“What??? How?? I don’t understand what you mean ma’am….Which pack am I in then???” “You are in the Tiger Wood blood pack.” she said.I suddenly burst into laughter as I assumed she must be trying to play pranks on me.How could I be at the pack of the one who rejected me as his mate and how could I also have gotten here.“
THANE’S POVAs soon as Alpha Crane hit Tyla across her face the first time, I growled deeply in anger as my wolf threatened to come out.I know I rejected her as my mate but for some weird reasons, I still felt possessive over her and so when he hit her the second time and she fell to the ground unconscious with blood slipping out of her mouth, I lost it.“Is she dead??” One of the elders seated in the living room said.“ leave her alone!!!” I yelled in anger as I walked towards her.“Who are you to tell me what to do???” Alpha Crane asked.I almost told everyone that Tyla was my mate but the fact that I rejected her stopped me from doing so and besides, she was only a pack slave and wasn't worth anything.“Take mate out of here.” My wolf said.“I don't fucking want her around me.” I responded to him.“If you leave her here, she will die.” He said again.As much as I didn't want to agree with my wolf, he was right.I looked at Tyla lying on the floor looking so frail and also looking
THANE'S POV“I, Alpha Thane of the Tiger wood blood pack, take back my rejection.” I said.As soon as I took back my rejection, I noticed something strange started happening.I suddenly started hearing the cracking of Bones and when I looked closely, I noticed that she was starting to shift.“But how, the first time I saw her, I could swear that she was not a shifter but how come she is shifting now??” I asked myself in confusion.“Mate is unique…she is not as weak as you thought.” my wolf said.“The fact that she is shifting doesn't change my mindset on the fact that she is still a weakling.” I said.I gently placed her back down on the ground as I observed what would happen next.Her body suddenly began to twist, her limbs elongating and her muscles rippling beneath her skin.Her clothes suddenly got torn and ripped, unable to contain her wolf from emerging.In a matter of moments, a towering werewolf emerged with silver furs that glowed like embers.It's chest heaved, it's fur fluf
THANE'S POV“No one Mother, I just had a few things to sort out and I was saying them out loud to myself.” I said.“Alright, there is an important Matter I want to discuss with you son.”“Can it wait??? I have something important I want to tend to right now.” I said.“No, it can't wait…we need to talk about it now.” My Mother insisted.“Alright, do you want us to talk in my room or in the living room??.”“Let's talk in your room, remember the walls of this pack house have ears.”“Alright then, let’s go talk in my room.” I said as my Mother and I walked back to my room.As soon as we entered, I locked the door from within to prevent anyone from barging in, especially my brother.“What is so serious that you want to talk about in private, Mother??? Hope all is fine?? Is there something troubling you??” I asked.“Yes, something is indeed troubling me son.”“What is it, Mother???”“Thane, haven’t you found your mate yet??” she asked.As soon as she asked that question, I suddenly started

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 business to take care of and I pr
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
CHAPTER SEVENTY ONETYLA'S POVThe words hit me like a physical blow. "I love you."For several heartbeats, I simply stared at Thane, waiting for the smirk, the cruel laugh that would reveal this as another one of his twisted games. But his storm-gray eyes held only raw, unguarded emotion - something I'd never seen from my Alpha before. A hysterical laugh burst from my lips before I could stop it. "You... what?" I pressed a hand to my mouth, shoulders shaking with uncontrollable mirth. "After everything - the rejection, the cruelty, locking me in this gods-forsaken safe house - now you love me?" It was unbelievable because who would have thought that the almighty Alpha Thane would fall in love with the mate he rejected.Thane didn't flinch. If anything, his gaze grew more intense, burning with a fire that made my breath catch. "I said I love you," he repeated, his deep voice rougher than usual. "I didn't intend to…the moon Goddess knows I fought against it with everythin
WRITER'S POVThe fire in the hearth had dwindled to embers, but Sherleen didn’t stir to revive it. She sat stiffly in her armchair with her fingers clenched around the carved wolf pendant at her throat, a gift from her late mate. The weight of the pack’s chaos pressed down on her like stones. “Thane, you fool...What have you done??? Her eldest son’s rejection of Tyla had been reckless. But Aurelius..Aurelius..being revealed as Tyla’s second-chance mate? It felt like the Moon Goddess herself was mocking their family. Sherleen’s nails bit into her palms. Aurelius had been her ward for years, a boy she’d taken in after his parents died in a rogue attack. Had she missed some sign? Some flicker of destiny between him and Tyla. A knock shattered her silence. “Enter.” she said, too drained to mask her weariness. The door creaked open, revealing her second son, Emmy, leaning heavily against the frame. “Mother.” “Emmy.” she said, rising instinctively before forcing herself to
TYLA'S POVThe safe house door slammed shut behind me, rattling the walls.I was done with whatever was going on and anger and hurt boiled up inside of me. My ankle screamed with every step, but the pain in my chest was worse. I couldn't believe that Aurelius and Thane could get involved in a physical fight just because of me. I collapsed onto the clutching a throw pillow to my chest like it could shield me from the storm raging inside. The door opened again and I didn’t need to look up to know it was Thane. His scent, pinewood and raspberry flooded the room before he did. I was not in the mood to speak to me as anger build up inside of me.“Tyla,” he said.“Leave…I don't want to speak to you.” I said, digging my nails into the pillow. He didn’t but instead, he knelt in front of me, close enough for his heat to burn my skin. “Aurelius tracked us here….He provoked me…I didn’t start this…” I snapped. The pillow hit his face with a dull thud.“You never start it, do you?”
THANE'S POVHer lips were soft under mine, yielding but not resisting. That’s what undid me the way Tyla didn’t push me away. The way her breath hitched when my hands slid up her waist. For the first time in weeks, the wildfire in my veins had purpose. I kissed her harder and deeper as one hand tangled in her hair as the other gripped her hip. The taste of her sweet lips drove me mad. My wolf snarled in satisfaction. “Mine!!!” But then I suddenly noticed hesitation and a stiffness in her shoulders. I pulled back just enough to see her face. Her eyes were closed but her fingers weren’t clutching me as they were limp at her sides. She didn't like what I was doing or rather where I was heading to with her.The realization hit me like a blade to the gut. I suddenly detached myself from her as quickly as I could and Tyla’s eyes flew open, wide and startled. "I won’t force you into doing whatever you don't want to do and not like this." I said.I still didn't know or under
TYLA'S POVThane carried me like I weighed nothing. The pain in my ankle was nothing compared to the white-hot rage burning through me. “If you don't fucking keep your mouth shut, I will break the second ankle and make sure it doesn't heal for a year.” Thane threatened.The threat shouldn’t have sent a shiver down my spine, not after everything..but it did. So I went still my body rigid against his as he carried me back to the safe house. The moment he set me down on the living room chair, my eyes darted around the room.I didn't seem to find the lady I caught him almost being intimate with."Where is she?" I asked.Thane ignored me as he kneeled in front of me with a first aid kit in hand. His silence only ignited the fire inside me. "This is going to hurt." he muttered as his gaze locked onto my swollen ankle. I barely had time to process his words before his lips crashed against mine. The kiss was rough, possessive and a distraction because it worked. A sharp crack ec
THANE'S POVI stormed out of the packhouse as my blood boiled. The image of Tyla asking to speak to Aurelius alone played on repeat in my mind, each time fueling the fire of my anger. How could she do this? How could she even consider him after everything?I was halfway to my room when Rico appeared, his usual smirk plastered across his face. “Alpha, What’s the verdict? What did the elders decide after Aurelius’s little outburst?” Rico said.I could tell Rico was indirectly mocking me because even though his words were firm, I knew his actions weren't.“They gave Tyla time to decide.” I snapped, not bothering to hide my frustration. “Time to fucking choose between me and him.” “Well, well. Looks like the rejected stone has turned into a cornerstone…who would’ve thought?” I stopped in my tracks, turning to glare at him. “Watch your mouth, Rico,” I growled, my voice low and dangerous. “This isn’t a joke.” I added.Rico was one person that even after so many years of being tog
