TYLA'S POV“Thane.” I called.“Don't be scared….stay close to me.” He said as he used his hand to pull me closer to him.“We are outnumbered.” I said.“I can take them.”“What???!! That's impossible.” I said.“Stay close to me I said.” Thane said as he suddenly shifted into his wolf.I hung my mouth in shock as I couldn't believe how massive Thane's wolf was.I could sense the fear from the men surrounding us as soon as they also saw Thane's wolf.I couldn't help but admire his wolf but I stayed closer to it as instructed by Thane.They suddenly started attacking as Thane found a way to attack back and kill them.While all of these were going on, Thane's eyes never left me as anyone who tried coming close to me was ripped to shreds by him.The number of the attackers were reducing and after a while, Thane drifted away from me a bit and I noticed he was about to be attacked from behind.“Thane!!! Look out!!!” I yelled but he didn't hear me.I looked around in confusion as I searched fr
THANE'S POVThe moment I left Tyla in the safe house, my mind was already racing. The pack was under attack, and I couldn’t afford to waste a single second. I trusted the safe house to keep her hidden, but deep down, fear lingered as I sensed that something felt off.I ran back to the pack house as my wolf, Shawn, pushed me to move faster. The sounds of battle grew louder as I approached.Snarls, screams, and the clash of steel against steel. My blood boiled as I saw the chaos unfolding and the rogues had infiltrated our territory, and they were ruthless.“Alpha!!!” Rico's voice cut through the noise as he appeared at my side with his face smeared with blood and dirt. “We’re holding them off, but they’re relentless….we need a plan.” he said.“Where’s Lilian?” I asked as my eyes scanned the battlefield.“Here!” Lilian shouted, running up to us with a bow in her hand. Her face looked miserable but her eyes were determined. “I’ve been picking them off from the rooftops, but there
THANE'S POVThe moment we reached the pack house, I carried Tyla straight to the clinic as my heart pounded with every step. Her body was still limp in my arm and her breathing shallow with her skin cold. Although I had no feelings whatsoever for her but seeing her like that, looking so pale and almost lifeless made me feel sorry for her and sorry for the way I've treated her since I brought her into the pack.“Lilian!” I yelled as we burst into the clinic. “Get the healer now!”Lilian didn’t hesitate as she ran ahead of me shouting for the pack’s healer while I laid Tyla down on one of the beds. Her face was pale and her lips slightly blue and I could see the faint rise and fall of her chest as she struggled to breathe.The healer arrived moments later as she examined Tyla. “She’s bleeding internally and because she hasn’t shifted yet, her body can’t heal itself fast enough…she’s in critical condition.” The healer said.My chest tightened as my fists clenched at my sides. “Do w
THANE'S POVThe days following Tyla’s recovery were a blur of frustration and anger. Despite my best efforts, I couldn’t uncover the truth about what had happened to her. Her memory loss was a wall I couldn’t break through and without her testimony, I had no choice but to release Emmy from the dungeon.I just found myself very angry since he was released and I knew I had to find out the truth soon.The decision left a bitter taste in my mouth. My brother walked free and it only fueled my rage but I had no proof and nothing concrete to tie him to what had happened. As much as I wanted to make him pay, I couldn’t act on suspicion alone.Tyla was discharged from the clinic a few days later as her strength slowly returned. I kept a close eye on her but even as I watched over her, I couldn’t shake the feeling that danger was still lurking and it wasn’t just from Emmy.Bridget found me in my office on a faithful day with her face filled with anger. She stormed in without knocking as
TYLA'S POV “It was Bridget.” I said. The room fell silent after my words. Bridget’s face twisted in shock with her eyes widening as she took a step back. Thane on the other hand went mute in shock as I observed he had an unreadable expression on his face. “What did you just say?” Bridget asked as she glared at me. “You attacked me Bridget!!” I said. “You’re lying. You’re trying to frame me!” I shook my head as I clutched the blanket. “I’m not lying…I remember now that it was you….you were at the safe house and you attacked me.” “You’re delusional. Why would I attack you? What reason would I have?” I hesitated as the memories were still hazy, but they were fragments of what had happened. “I don’t know why…But I know it was you…. I saw you and I felt you.” Bridget laughed a bitter mocking sound. “This is ridiculous. You’re just trying to turn Thane against me because you hate me and you've always hated me.” “I don’t hate you Bridget…I don't even know you!!!
TYLA'S POV“Don't bite your lips like that again…it puts ideas in my head and I won't be able to hold back.” He said softly with a deep voice.My breath caught in my throat as my cheeks flushed with heat. I looked up at him.“Thane…” I whispered as my voice trembled.I did it again…I called him by his name but he didn't seem to mind this time around as his mind was deeply occupied by something else.He stepped closer with his eyes locked on mine. His scent enveloped me again like a warm blanket. He still smelled like pinewood and raspberry and also earth like the forest after a storm and it was intoxicating. I could feel my wolf Lyra stirring inside me and being drawn to him in a way I couldn’t resist.“Tyla,” he said with his voice rough with desire. “You don’t know what you do to me…your scent… it’s driving me crazy.”If there was anyone who confuses the hell out of me, it was Thane.One minute he would glare at me like he hated me and the next minute, he would look at me like
TYLA'S POV“Tyla!” he shouted, his voice rough with need. “Open the door now!!!!”My body was on fire and my skin was wet with sweat.My wolf was howling inside me desperate for release but I couldn’t open the door. I couldn’t let him in and not after everything that had happened.“Tyla!!! I said open the door Now!!!!” He said as he kept on banging harshly at the door.The whole house must have been shaking with the intensity of how Thane banged the door.I shook my head even though he couldn’t see me. “No…I just can’t.” I whispered in fear and pain.Another pain hit me as I screamed and held onto my stomach.It was getting worse and I didn't know what to do.“You don’t understand Tyla…Your scent…it’s everywhere…every unmated male in the pack can smell you and If you don’t let me in, they’ll come for you….do you understand what that means???” Thane asked as I could sense the desperation in his voice. My heart kept pounding loudly. I didn’t want to believe him but I could feel it
THANE'S POVThe full moon festival was in full swing and the air filled with laughter, music, and the scent of roasted meat. The pack was celebrating but I couldn’t shake the unease that was in my chest. Something felt off and it was Something I couldn’t quite place.And then, it hit me.A strange feeling and sensation moved through me as my wolf Shawn, stirred inside me, his presence suddenly more intense than ever. My eyes snapped to the pack house and to the window of Tyla’s room, and my heart skipped a beat.She was in heat.I could literally smell her heat from where I was as my wolf threatened to break out at that moment.I could feel her need and her desperation as It called to me, pulling at something deep inside me. My body reacted before my mind could catch up and my fists clenching at my sides.“Go to her Thane!!! She needs you and we need her too.” My wolf urged me.I shook my head trying to push the thoughts away. “No….I can’t go Shawn..not now and definitely not lik
WRITER'S POVThe hallway leading to Thane's room was oddly silent. He was still trying to process everything that had happened that day..the lies, the fake DNA report, the emotional whirlwind with Tyla and especially the pregnancy news of Bridget…All of it churned in his mind like a storm refusing to pass.As he reached the landing, a familiar figure leaned against his doorframe. Sherleen, his mother, arms folded and eyes stern but calm, was clearly waiting.“We need to talk.” she said without a greeting.Thane knew the matter was serious because he had just seen her a while ago and for her to come personally to his room, it was a serious matter.Thane nodded, swallowing the tightness in his throat. “Of course Mother, Come in.”He unlocked the door and held it open as Sherleen stepped inside. She waited in the center of the room while he closed the door behind them. He leaned against the edge of the bed, bracing himself.“What’s going on?” she asked plainly. “And don’t tell me i
TYLA'S POVAs I walked back to the pack house, I couldn't help but think about what Lilian had told me.As much as I hated Bridget for playing such a cruel game with me and Thane, I still couldn't help but feel pity on her because infertility was something that was pretty serious.“Hello, Tyla.” A voice said as I gasped in shock.I assumed it was someone maybe from the pack seeing as though I was already Luna and I could be mind linked by anyone in the pack.“Who is it??” I asked.“Has it been so long that you don't recognize the voice of your own wolf??”“Lyra???!!” I asked in amazement.“Hello to you too Tyla.”“Oh goodness!!! It's been so long and I have missed you!! You just went mute on me when I needed you the most and it isn't fair to be honest.” I said.“I didn't go mute on purpose..I told you what needed to be done to get me back but you didn't.” Lyra said.“It's not my fault Lyra..Thane was so unpredictable as at that time and I just couldn't do what you asked until I was su
BRIDGET'S POVAfter Thane and Tyla walked out of Sherleen's room, I turned to her with a sad look on my face.“Mother, all of this drama happening in the pack isn't good for me or my unborn child.” I said with a pretended sad look on my face.“I will handle everything…you just get some rest and tomorrow hand me the pregnancy results.” Sherleen said as I mentally rolled my eyes.“Thank you mother.”“Sleep well Mom.” Emmy said as we walked back into our room.As soon as I closed the door behind me, Emmy's voice hit me like a slap to the face."You lied to me, Bridget!" Emmy yelled as I flinched. He rarely ever raised his voice at me, but now his eyes were wild with fury. He paced the room like a caged animal, and I could feel the anger radiating off him in waves."Emmy, please." I started, walking toward him slowly. "You have to understand, I had no choice.""No choice?" he barked. "You told the Alpha and his mate that you were pregnant. Do you know what kind of chaos that could cau
TYLA'S POV Thane and I walked silently back to the pack. The weight of the day’s events sat heavily between us, neither of us quite ready to speak but I couldn’t keep quiet any longer. My thoughts were too loud, too painful, too confusing.I had an uneasy feeling in my stomach and I couldn't detect why because just when I think I know Bridget and have caught her in her own games, she suddenly moves around and does something else more shocking.“Thane…” I started softly, not even sure I wanted to hear the answer. “Do you think Bridget is really pregnant? Or is this just another part of her twisted plan to escape whatever punishment is coming for her?”Thane’s brows pulled together as he stopped walking. He didn’t answer right away. He looked ahead, jaw clenched tightly, like he was sifting through years of memories, searching for a truth even he wasn’t sure he wanted to find.“She’s always been like this.” he finally said. “From the moment she joined the pack as Emmy’s mate,she
WRITER'S POVThe tension in the air could have sliced through stone. Sherleen's expression was unreadable, but her narrowed eyes said enough. Thane stepped forward cautiously, his hand brushing Tyla's as if to reassure her."Mother," he said with a slight bow of his head. "You called for us?"Sherleen gave a curt nod. "We need to talk…All of us."Tyla exchanged a glance with Thane, her gut knotting tighter with each second."What is this about?" Thane asked, his voice careful, controlled.Bridget stepped forward, feigning a nervous expression. "We didn't mean to cause any trouble..we only came to ask what you both are going to do with the child.” she began, her tone soft and uncharacteristically meek.Tyla watched her with narrowed eyes. The same woman who brought an imposter as Thane's child.. The same woman whose every word now made her skin crawl."Is that why you are here?" Tyla asked coldly.Bridget hesitated for dramatic effect, glancing at Emmy, who stood beside her with
TYLA'S POVWarm steam rose from the water as Thane gently carried me into the bathroom. I leaned my head against his shoulder, still feeling the weight of everything that had happened…the lies, the child, the pain and the pleasure but something in his touch told me we were crossing into a new place now. One where truth mattered more than pride.He set me down softly into the bathtub, his arms still wrapped around me like he was afraid to let go.For a moment, we sat in silence, the water lapping quietly around us.Then, at the same time, we both said. “I have something I want to tell you.”We blinked at each other in surprise. I gave a small laugh and shook my head.“You first.” I said, brushing a wet strand of hair from my face.“No, you.” he insisted, his tone gentle but serious.I hesitated for a moment as my heart thudded in my chest. Would he believe me? Could we really trust each other after everything? I took a deep breath and stared into his eyes.“Alright, It’s about the
TYLA'S POVThane was the only person who has successfully confused the hell out of me.I couldn't think straight whenever I was with him and I couldn't understand how I could love and fear someone at the same time.“Because I want you too, Thane!!! Amidst my fears and uncertainties, I want you!!” I said.Everything I said was true because I did want Thane more than anyone and the fact that I choose him to the moon goddess's second chance mate she had given to me proves that what I felt was real.“Then say no more, Tyla.” Thane said as he kissed me.I wrapped my arms around his shoulders as I pulled him closer and kissed him back with the same intensity and desire he had kissed me.Thane held my legs around his waist as he shoved away everything on his study table and Continued assaulting my face with kisses.He kissed my lips, eyes, nose, forehead and he kept on saying I was enough for him.Suddenly I noticed his eyes switched colours and I knew his wolf was in full mood and without a
THANE'S POV“A while back, I got a letter like this…it slipped through the door and it had this similar content where the person said I chose wrong by choosing you instead of Aurelius.” Tyla said as I looked at her in shock.“Wait what??? When did this happen??”“It's been quite a while but it wasn't too long ago..it was the night of my Luna ceremony.”“And you are just telling me about this now??!!” I asked in anger.This could have gotten worse and the fact that Tyla choose to keep this important information from me only just made me question the kind of relationship we share. “I didn't think it fit ro tell you because you had a lot on your plate too and besides I thought it was just someone playing tricks on me.” Tyla said as I scoffed.I walked around the room as I paced back and forth restlessly while running my hands through my hair.“Tyla, the essence of this relationship that we both share isn't only about the pack responsibilities…one of the major responsibility we both have
WRITER'S POVBridget smiled like everything was normal, like the world wasn’t crashing down around Thane.His gut told him something was off the second Bridget handed him the result at the clinic but what hit the hardest was how convincing the whole lie looked.He stood in the hallway for a long while, his mind a storm of confusion.Should he tell Tyla now or should he wait?She was already breaking.The look on her face earlier hurt, betrayal, pain…Thane’s heart clenched and he couldn’t bear to see her like that again.He walked back to the room and sat on the edge of the couch, staring at the white envelope on the table like it was a ticking bomb.“Shawn?” he whispered aloud, needing Shawn, his wolf who could understand him. “What now?”“I am sure you must have known what has been going on and now I got the results.” Thane said aloud. “But it’s fake…Bridget gave me a fake result.”“You’re sure?” Shawn asked.“Positive…The pack healer sent me the real result and this one, this one’
