Theda POV After what felt like hours of unconsciousness, my eyes fluttered open, and I was almost startled to find Alpha Norton and Quintella standing beside the bed I lay on. "Alpha Norton…" I attempted to sit up, but Alpha Norton gently stopped me. "Just rest, Theda," he advised, concern etched on his face. "You collapsed during your transition." My brows furrowed in the gloom as I absorbed the information. I turned my attention to Quintella, who spoke up, her voice filled with a mix of empathy and worry. "You weren't able to shift, Theda," Quintella revealed, her tone gentle yet concerned. I heaved a worried sigh, realizing the implications of my failed attempt. I looked at Quintella, my voice laced with apprehension as I asked. "Why was that, Quintella?" Quintella met my gaze, her expression filled with understanding.

As I sat there, a terrifying headache began to throb against my temples, intensifying my already troubled state.

I approached her with a heavy heart, my concern etched upon my face."Aunt Karen," I began, my voice filled with genuine worry, "I think Tyler might grow sick if he keeps this up for a week. It's likely to be terrible." She nodded, her expression mirroring my concern. She had witnessed the toll that the recent events had taken on Tyler, and I know it pained her to see him suffer in such a way."I know, Blake," she replied, her voice tinged with sadness. "It's only been three days, and he hasn't even had a single meal. I fear that the weight of the truth, coupled with Theda's absence, is overwhelming him. He's going to suffer even more." A heavy sil

My only wish was to see her and seek her forgiveness. I can't believe I could make such a huge mistake. My determination was palpable as I forcefully swung open the door, revealing an unexpected sight. Julian was caught off guard, in the midst of an intimate moment with one of his Omegas."What the heck?" Julian groaned, hastily getting up from his seat. He motioned for the girl to leave, sensing the seriousness of the situation, as I approached him with a mixture of anger and concern in my eyes."Tyler, why invade my territory and..."

However, amidst the preparations and the joyous anticipation, I found myself disturbed by the rumors that were spreading within the pack.

Tyler POV My life had become a dark and miserable existence. My heart was heavy with feelings of guilt and remorse that seemed to crush me every day. Ever since I learned the truth about Theda's father, the weight of my actions had become unbearable. I couldn't believe that I had caused Theda so much pain, tormenting her for weeks over a crime her late father had not committed.

Tyler POV I felt a deep sense of uncertainty gripping my heart ever since the day I met Theda and we shared that fateful kiss. The moment our lips touched, a whirlwind of emotions had surged through me, and I had been unable to shake off the lingering effects since then. After that reoccurring life-altering encounter, I had mustered the courage to ask Theda to come back with me, to be a part of my life and my pack again. However, much to my dismay, Theda had chosen to leave without giving me a definitive answer, leaving me in a state of constant unease. Days turned into weeks, and uncertainty continued to gnaw at my soul. I couldn't help but wonder if Theda had any intentions of returning or if she had simply vanished from my life forever. The absence of closure had left me feeling adrift, my thoughts consumed by the memory of that shared kiss and the bond I believed still existed between us.One day, Theda's mother, seeking to understand her daughter's whereabouts, visited the
Theda POV Staring at Norton's angry mother, I mustered the strength to speak, my voice filled with remorse. "Alpha Norton, I am so sorry," I managed to utter, my words weighed down by the heaviness of the situation. Alpha Norton, still facing away from me, nodded silently.

I could sense the pain and disappointment radiating from him, and it tore at my heart. Meanwhile, Aunt Jael sneered, her expression filled with disdain as she continued to stare at me.

I had noticed Theda leaving the packhouse in a hurry earlier, and now, seeing her in the arms of another, my worst fears seemed to be confirmed. The sight struck me with a mix of shock and disappointment, and I felt a heavy weight settle in my chest. Silently, I retreated, my footsteps heavy and my mind clouded with a whirlwind of emotions. Doubts that had lingered in the back of my mind were now crystal clear, and my fears about Theda's feelings for Tyler seemed validated. I returned to my room, feeling dejected and betrayed, struggling to make sense of it all. In the following days, Theda seemed to avoid me, her presence scarce and her interactions minimal. She had only served me a meal the following day after that day. I couldn't help but feel the palpable tension between us, our once budding connection now strained. The distance between us only deepened my sen
Theda POV My conscience weighed heavily on me as I replayed the events of the day in my mind.

After dinner, as I prepared to retire to my bed, I was interrupted by Aunt Jael, who approached her with a serious expression on her face.

I love her with all my heart and I couldn't bear the thought of doubting her or questioning her love for me. However, her actions had been fueling my doubts and making me question our relationship. Unable to bear the weight of uncertainty any longer, I decided to have a candid conversation with Theda. I needed to understand why she had chosen to postpone our wedding for the second time, hoping that her answers would put my doubts to rest. I called her to my private chamber, a place where we often shared intimate moments and heartfelt discussions. As she entered the room, my heart raced. I took a deep breath, summoning the courage to confront my fears. I looked into her eyes, searching for reassurance, and began to ask her the questions that plagued my mind."Theda," I said, his voice trembling slightly, "I need to understand why you postponed our wedding.

The sight of my mother after five long years filled me with a mixture of emotions—joy, nostalgia, and a tinge of apprehension.

My voice trembled with a mix of uncertainty and longing, my eyes searching for answers."Theda, my child," her voice sounded as soothing as ever, reaching deep into my heart. Our bond had survived the test of time, and our connection remained strong. I couldn't help but be drawn to my mother, and I stepped forward, embracing her in a long-awaited hug. At that moment, the world around them seemed to fade away, leaving only the warmth and familiarity of our shared love. But as my eyes shifted to Alpha Tyler, who stood nearby with a smile on his face, a sense of unease crept over me. I couldn't shake the feeling that he had orchestrated this reunion, using
