Blake POV I settled into the seat as Tyler gestured for me to sit. We both took a moment to collect our thoughts, the weight of the situation hanging heavy in the room. I could see the turmoil in Tyler's eyes as they wandered around, searching for answers that seemed elusive."Tyler, I know you're going through a lot," I began, my voice filled with empathy and understanding. "It's hard, and it's unbearable at times. But just keep holding on tight. Remember that you're strong, and you'll find a way through this."Tyler nodded, his gaze lifting to meet mine. The flicker of gratitude was evident in his eyes as he acknowledged the support being offered. "Thanks for the encouragement," he replied, his voice tinged with a mix of appreciation and vulnerability. My expression softened as I continued, my tone gentle yet resolute.

Theda POV I stood a few meters away from the fountain, watching my energetic five-year-old son, Liam, as he ran around it with a radiant smile on my face. The water spouts and splashes seemed to only add to Liam's excitement. "Liam, be careful not to get too close to the water!" I called out to my son, a hint of concern in my voice."Yes, Mommy!" Liam responded, his voice filled with laughter and joy. My smile broadened, filled with a mixture of pride and happiness, as I observed him playing so cheerfully by himself. It was moments like these that made my heart swell with love for him. However, amidst the joyous scene, my thoughts shifted to my upcoming wedding. Yes, I was getting married soon. After all these years, I had finally decided to marry Alpha Norton. It was a significant step for me, as I had grown weary of pretending to be his Luna. Choosing to marry Alpha Norton meant embracing an authentic life and ending the deception I had been living for so long. I wanted
Tyler POV Filled with anticipation, I made the decision to meet with Alpha Norton today. As Blake drove us towards our uncertain destination after arriving at Canon city, my heart raced inexplicably, a sensation I had never experienced before. The feeling was a mix of excitement and nervousness. After some time on the road, Blake eventually brought the car to a stop, breaking the silence between us. "We've been driving around the city for almost an hour," he remarked, voicing his concern. Apologizing for the delay, I responded, my gaze fixed on the world outside the window. "Sorry, Blake. I thought finding Wildwood pack would be easier once we arrived in this city." Sensing my hesitancy, Blake offered a suggestion. "Do you want me to ask someone for directions to the pack's location? It might save us some time." I contemplated the suggestion briefly before shaking my head. "No, Blake," he replied. "I'm not sure about your reason though. I don't think there's going to be any
Tyler POV. The Beta guided us through the packhouse, leading us to Alpha Norton's office. With anticipation swirling in the air, I took the initiative to greet Alpha Norton upon entering the room. "Hello, Alpha Norton," I greeted warmly, my voice filled with genuine pleasure. Rising from his seat, Norton reciprocates the gesture, extending his hand with a warm smile. I accepted the handshake, our connection symbolizing the familiarity we shared. "It's good to see you after a long time, Alpha Tyler," Norton expressed, his words carrying a sense of genuine warmth. "Let's drop the formalities." Following Norton's lead, I took the offered seat, making myself comfortable. Blake, remaining true to his role as my Beta, positioned himself standing behind me, a silent sentinel at his side. I didn't bother to request that Blake sit, knowing that my loyal companion preferred to maintain his protective stance, even in moments of closeness like this one. As the conversation between me an
Theda POV My words trailed off as my eyes locked with alpha Tyler's intense gaze. The air seemed to grow heavy around me, and my mind struggled to process the overwhelming mix of emotions flooding through me. A flicker of familiarity that stirred something long forgotten inside me."Theda, do you know him?" As Alpha Norton's question pierced the silence, my mouth opened slightly, but no words escaped. My voice failed me, leaving me speechless and vulnerable in the presence of both men. Unconsciously, I nodded, confirming the unspoken connection between Alpha Tyler and me. A faint smile graced alpha Tyler's face, as if he understood the profound impact our encounter had on me."I told you. She's my Luna," Alpha Tyler's confident declaration broke the spell, shifting my attention momentarily to Alpha Norton.

Norton POV My eyes remained fixed on the closed door, my expression a mixture of shock and confusion. I moved mechanically, almost in a daze, as I made my way to a nearby chair and sank into it, my mind racing with a whirlwind of thoughts brought on by the unexpected revelation.My bafflement only deepened, and I struggled to make sense of the situation. The weight of Theda's words hung heavy in the air, stirring a sense of unease within me. My thoughts spun in a tumultuous dance, trying to piece together the fragments of information and emotions that now overwhelmed me. In my bewilderment, my mother entered the room, her presence a sudden interruption to my turbulent thoughts. Unable to contain myself any longer, I felt compelled to share the shocking turn of events with her, seeking comfort and guidance. As she listened to my account, her face contorted with disbelief, her eyes widening in alarm. "What? What did Theda say?" she asked, her voice laced with astonishment and conc

Caught off guard, she stared at me in disbelief. The shock was evident in her eyes as she struggled to process the unexpected revelation. Her gaze shifted to Blake, silently seeking confirmation. Blake, understanding the need to validate my words, nodded with a reassuring smile. "It's true, Aunt Karen. Theda is alive and well." Relief washed over her face, replacing her initial skepticism. She let out a sigh, a mixture of surprise and relief. "This is good news indeed. I can't believe she's alive after all these years." However, her smile quickly faded as Blake interjected, revealing another piece of the puzzle. "But there's more, Aunt Karen. Theda is now someone else's Luna." Confusion clouded her features as
Theda POV My gaze bore into Alpha Tyler, my eyes reflecting a myriad of emotions. As the air grew thicker with tension, an eerie silence settled around us, magnifying the weight of the moment. Thoughts raced through my mind, swirling with memories of the torment I had endured at his hands five years ago."Why is he begging now?" My thoughts echoed silently, my frustration and disbelief evident. "Why didn't he even show a little remorse when he tormented me back then?" I clenched my fist, betraying the anger that simmered within me as the floodgates of past pain and suffering opened in my mind. The memories of sleepless nights and shattered trust washed over me, pushing me to the brink. It was a tumultuous storm of emotions, fueled by the realization that Alpha Tyler's remorse had come far too late. In an instant, my hand shot out, my palm meeting his cheek with a resounding slap. The sound echoed through the silence, a physical manifestation of the pain I had endured."Theda..
