Tyler POV Another week had gone by, and I couldn't shake off the persistent thoughts of venturing to the Wildwood pack to retrieve Theda. In the meantime, Jasmine had made herself at home in the packhouse, living with Blake, and their blossoming relationship was evident to all. I genuinely felt joy for them, seeing their happiness. However, the longing in my heart became unbearable, and I reached a breaking point. Determined to confront my feelings head-on, I decided to embark on a journey to the Wildwood pack alone. Ignoring the potential consequences, I made my way to the territory, driven by an unyielding desire to see Theda once more and take her with me this time. As I arrived at the Wildwood pack, tensions rose. The pack guards, sensing my intrusion, moved to confront me, their aggression apparent. A fight seemed imminent, tensions escalating between me and the guards who sought to remove me forcefully. Yet, just as the situation reached its boiling point, a commanding
Theda POV My heart swelled with affection as my son beckoned for me, and without hesitation, I ran up to Tyler, enveloping him in a tight embrace. Tears welled up in my eyes, mingling with the overwhelming emotions that surged through me. "I am sorry, Theda. I am sorry," Tyler whispered, his voice filled with remorse and sincerity. "I won't ever do that again. I will never doubt you. Never." I pulled back slightly from the hug, looking into his eyes, my heart touched by his words. With a gentle smile, I reassured him, "It is fine, Alpha Tyler." Turning to face Alpha Norton, I bowed respectfully, gratitude shining in my eyes. "Thank you, Alpha Norton. I won't forget what you've done for me today. Your kindness and understanding mean a great deal." Alpha Norton returned my smile, though I could see the flicker of sadness in his eyes. He fought back his tears, his pride evident in his composed demeanor. "You can go, Theda," he said, waving his hand in a bittersweet farewell. He th
Theda POVI watched as their loathful eyes watched me, and the pairs of monstrous eyes lighting from every corner, staring at me sleazily, while watching me drown in shame made my heart throb harder. They were all monsters. Monsters who came from everywhere to buy the almighty Alpha Julian's stepdaughterThat was who I was. The bidding did not yet start. Omegas were considered worthless in our city, and it was a threat to me since I was an Omega. I couldn't believe that this day was going to come. A day when all hope was going to be lost, leaving me in the hands of beasts to devour me and dump my rotten carcass for ferocious wolves to feed on. Several Alphas joined the action. Many had come from various places, and my eyes rolled to every corner of the hall. I was totally weak and out of energy, my hands strapped to my back, and my feet corded with chains, pooling down, and adhering to my torn flesh. I believed that this was my fate. My wicked and boring destiny. Right from chi
Tyler POVMy voice echoed through the entire place, and my eyes peered to the front, where the horrible display was on. I couldn't stand seeing this. No matter what it was, I had to get this girl. It seemed fate called me to the perfect place. I felt content running through me, and for some reason, I was so happy that I had named the price. Silence befell the entire place.I noticed the eyes peering at me, wanting to know who bid higher than the Alpha Prince. I was quite aware that no one went against the Princes, and I just did. As an Alpha, I knew they were a bunch of spoiled brats and could do anything to her. It was simple. I took her as my own, saved her from these monsters, and made her my slave to serve me. "Why'd you do that? All the Alphas are looking at you? You've become a fucking public figure here," my Beta, Blake, ranted through the mind link. "What the hell are you saying? Don't throw the flames at me. You fucking made me come here," I growled back, and I felt his
Theda POV"Quick, pack your things. Everyone is crazy, they are all ferocious, and we must get out of the city," my mother said, with sorrow in her eyes, as she paced around the room, bringing out things from each corner. I could read the sorrow in her eyes, flitting across them, as she made her way across the room. It sounded exigent."Mom, why are we going to leave? She's already a slave," Axel, my younger brother said, jumping up, with a sad look on his face. I didn't know why she said that. It sounded like she was traumatized, blown away by the fact that I was finally sold after my Omega genes proved positive."You're purely an Omega, almost entirely. They would kill you, Theda. Julian is going to make sure he harms you," she said. I still didn't understand."W-hat do you mean by that?" I managed to spit out the words, rolling my eyes at her, dazed by her actions. "They're going to kill you, Theda. The Alpha who bought you is ruthless," she mouthed out, with an obvious sign of
Tyler POVA feeling of content ran through my mind, as my eyes scanned around the city, from the balcony of my apartment. I inhaled my smoke deeply and it went down, cooling my lungs, leaving the ecstatical feeling ramping up in me and springing up from my core to every part of my body. Somehow, I knew that something was running in me, a feeling I couldn't really tell, or distinguish from all other things I had in my head. It was already late at night, and I watched the outside world, with the buzzing orchestral notes of nocturnals thundering inside my ears. It was like anxiety I was feeling, but I really couldn't recognize it. I didn't know what exactly it was, but I had to fight against it. A wave of uncertainty swept all over me, and while it seemed that the feeling wouldn't while away, I had to find out what exactly it was that this was. I had to follow my instinct. My wolf, Tyson, suddenly felt exhilarated. Jumping, and howling constantly. "Tyson, what's wrong?" I asked, but
Theda POV As I was led down the hallway that I felt the Alpha had emerged from, so many things ran in my head.I'm now in a new pack.I have a new alpha.I am on my own, ALONE.Those things, I wasn't yet ready to sink down my mind. But one thing was sure, there was a bit of happiness lurching inside me. Why? I was finally out of the reach of my uncompassionate stepfather, Julian.Yes, I had always wanted to leave the fire moon pack, my original pack, ever since my father died two years ago. It's been a lot of hell and torment for me and I had prayed every night for my miseries to come to an end.What did my mother or brother, and my father do wrong to make us receive such torments after his passing? None, I'm certain. It was probably my said- cursed fate. Though ever since I was twelve years old, I had always been different and an irregular person, unlike the others. I met some bunch of Alphas' young daughters then and they seemed more dominating than me. Then my good father, who h
Tyler POVI watched as my mate's clone left the office, and Blake's eyes just made me cringe the more. He knew what the situation was, and I knew that he didn't want to tell me about it. It was killing me to keep it on the inside. I knew very well that this was not going to be a good idea, but for someone I had already paid for, there was nothing to lose."You aren't going to say anything about it?" Blake asked, taking to his feet, and sitting on a side table. He usually felt casual in the office."About what?" I asked him, trying to deny even knowing the feeling. He drew his face closer to mine, trying to study me. He looked at me judgingly, and I knew that his nose could go farther than his brains could. Irony intended, he was a very smart one."Don't tell me you don't fucking know what I'm talking about," he mouthed out, hissing afterward. Clicking his tongue severally, I knew he was ready to bring up the matter, and wasn't going to give up on it. "What exactly do you want to kn

Blake POV After I left the office, I stepped out of the packhouse and happened to spot Jasmine walking by. A warm smile formed on my lips as I called out to her."Hey, Jasmine." She stopped in her tracks, turning to face me with a smile that mirrored my own. As I approached her, our eyes met, sparking a sense of familiarity and comfort."Beta Blake, greetings," Jasmine replied, offering a courteous bow. Her eyes shimmered with a glint of joy, clearly delighted by the unexpected encounter. My curiosity got the better of me as I inquired about her plans. "Hm, where are you off to?"She shrugged lightly, a playful expression adorning her features. "Just walking around since I'm permitted to do so for a little while today." A mischievous grin spread across my face as I made a spontaneous decision. "I'll keep you company." She chuckled, seemingly taken aback by my offer. Her surprise quickly transformed into a peal of infectious laughter. "What about work?""I'm free for now, Jassy,
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. His gesture conveyed a mix of understanding and resignation as if he had anticipated this outcome. "Theda, it's alright." 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. The contemptuous gaze intensified the already overwhelming emotions within me, and I felt a desperate need to escape the suffocating atmosphere. Without another word, I turned and rushed out of the office, seeking solace and refuge. As I entered my room, my vision blurred by my tears, I stumbled near my bed. Collapsing onto the soft surface, I began to cry bitterly, my sobs echoing through the room. The
Norton POV Standing by the entrance gate, my heart sank as I witnessed Theda and Tyler locked in a passionate kiss. 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. I had spent the entire day feeling guilty for deceiving Alpha Norton about my true feelings for Alpha Tyler. 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. Caught off guard, I looked at her and managed to ask politely, "Aunt Jael, do you want anything?" Her gaze shifted briefly towards Liam who lay peacefully asleep on the bed. Wordlessly, she signaled for me to follow her outside. My heart raced as I complied, stepping out into the hallway and closing the door behind me. The dimly lit space added to my growing anxiety. Standing before the railings, Aunt Jael seemed composed, but I could sense an undercurrent of concern. Tentatively, I approached her, my unease palpable. I couldn't help but wonder what she wanted to talk about, especially with such a serious expression on her face. She finally
Norton POV I have been feeling a deep sense of insecurity gnawing at me ever since Theda had postponed our wedding. 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. It's bee
Theda POV I walked up to Alpha Norton, my gaze fixed on my mother standing before me. The sight of my mother after five long years filled me with a mixture of emotions—joy, nostalgia, and a tinge of apprehension. I hadn't expected to see my mother again, and now that she stood before me, it felt like a surreal moment."Mother?" 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
