Tyler POVDeath.The thought of her not being alive sent a prick into my heart, causing my wolf to stir in dread.But when she stirred up, I let out a sigh of relief, looking away with shut eyes as she coughed slightly.Her eyes didn't open but I was certain she was alive. I realized I was naked and knew it wouldn't be great if I walked out from here.I need a little help. I summoned Blake through the mind link and when he arrived in less than a minute, his eyes went from the lifeless wolf to Theda next to me before dropping his gaze on my body.He quickly scanned the surroundings, I know he was ensuring that no danger was lingering before he walked up to me.He realized I was open to the earth and swiftly took off his long jacket and extended it to me, urging me to put it on.I gratefully took it and slipped into it."What happened to Theda?" He asked concern etched on his face."She's alive," I said, not giving a fuck to my voice that was laced with concern. "But she needed urgent m
Theda POVAs I regained consciousness, my eyelids fluttered open slowly. The throbbing pain that had engulfed my body after the blow I got from the vicious wolf which had made me slip into unconsciousness seemed to have subsided.I thought If possible I was going to wake up, it would be with excruciating pains and cracked bones, but I felt fine. Meanwhile, where was I?My focus shifted to my surroundings. As I tilted my eyes, I was met with a sight that made my heart skip a beat. Standing right beside me was Alpha Tyler. His presence was both intimidating and captivating and I couldn't help but feel a mixture of emotions at the moment.Although he seemed like he wanted to smile upon seeing me stare at him, but, he restrained himself. Instead, he spoke in a dominant yet caring voice."You're awake." His voice was filled with care and laced with genuine care when he asked, "Are you okay?"I managed to nod in response despite the sharp pain I felt below my cheekbone. I guess it was due
Theda POV Rolled up In a straw mat and beaten for 3 hours? How is she going to survive? It's impossible.I stood frozen in disbelief after hearing him declare his cruel punishment. The words had echoed in my mind, sending shockwaves through my entire being. I felt my heart pounding in my chest as I shifted my gaze to Lena's whose eyes widened in horror.I couldn't fathom the severity of the punishment he had uttered. Though Lena almost made me lose my life, she had only been punished for lying and the punishment was cruel for that."Alpha Tyler!" Lena cried and fell on her knees. "Please spare me." She pleaded desperately for mercy. The Alpha glared at her. "At least, lessen my punishment," she requested, her voice trembling with fear.Zoey stood behind her, watching helplessly, her face was etched with anguish. But the Alpha seemed unmoved, his gaze cold and unyielding.A surge of compassion evolved me and I found myself thinking of ways to help Lena, though my wolf was trying to co
Theda POV"Say something," Zoey said, almost yelling, jolting me from my trance.I held up my chin and shrugged. "I really don't know how this got to my room. I've not seen it before.""Will you keep lying?" Lena asked. She poked my forehead with a finger, causing me to stumble backward. I felt like slapping her in the most brutal way I have ever done but I know it won't be right to be aggressive in this situation."I'm not lying. I'm just seeing this necklace for the first time."Zoey gave me a displeasing look and grabbed my arm. "So tell me. Did this necklace develop wings and fly to your room?""No, maybe…" I paused when I saw Lena giving me an evil-gratified look behind Zoey. "I guess someone dropped it in my room." I boldly said, keeping my gaze on Lena.Zoey tilted her head and Lena came in front of her. "You seem to have the guts, Theda. Alright, let's go find out who dropped this in your room." Zoey's grip tightened and she started pulling me out of the room. We came to the
****Some hours Earlier****Tyler POVBlake's eyes told me that he wasn't going to quit his questions, and I so much tried to avoid his dirty questions. They made me piss in my pants, and whenever I tried to say the truth, it sounded like I was covering things up. I wonder why he always used any opportunity he had to question me.For the whole thing, guess what? It was about Theda. It was something I didn't want to speak about, but then, I knew my Beta wouldn't just quit the talk."Why did you save Theda that day?" He asked me, as usual, with a bad smile that ran across his cheeks. He wanted the game to get nasty, and it was something I tried to run away from. I didn't want him to catch me red-handed, because he always wanted to corner me with my own truth, making me succumb to whatever wicked and sinister ideas he had in his mind. "Are we going to talk about this now Blake? Is this what you are ready for?" I asked him, wanting to end the conversation before it even got started. Alre
Tyler POVI headed for the Omega quarters after walking out of the packhouse. Reaching there, I saw the crowd already assembled, and Blake had informed me that it was in a hall. Our mind link was the strongest. It never ceased, and I loved the connection. My eyes caught the sight of Adriana who was by a corner. Her eyes lit up with malice as she saw me, and she smirked, wanting me to do what she expected of me right now. Well, no way. I had other things in store. My eyes rolled at everyone here. Somehow, I knew that something was not right. In a way, I could figure out what exactly it was, but then, the allegations against Theda made things worse. I knew the gravity of the situation. They were all against her. It was not an easy deal being Omega, and I knew exactly that she was going to face all these when she newly came here. It has just been a little time, and she was already in deep trouble.I felt thick hair spreading my arms, it was Tyson. He wanted to take control. He fel
Theda POVNever in my wildest imagination have I ever imagined that the Alpha was going to choose me to be his partner to go to an Alphas party.I knew they were other pretty she-wolves in the packhouse and Adriana was quite the best figure to accompany him, not an Omega slave like me.Two days went by like the wind, I was treated with care. The few minutes I had alone with the Alpha was the best of all. He always had a way of extending the time we shared alone for no reason.Or maybe it was just in my head.In the afternoon of the third day, I walked out of the house, coming into the entrance, I saw the Alpha and his Beta, Blake engaged in a fierce spar. I got entranced by the sight.I couldn't help but admire the muscular physique of both men as they moved around each other, their bodies glistening with sweat in the bright sunlight.The Alpha's brown hazel eyes caught my attention. Their upturned shape gave him a mischievous look that made my heart flutter for no reason. While Blake
Tyler POV I was in my room thinking about the party that would start about three hours from now, and I was ready for it. I didn't know what was going on and what would happen, but something told me that the Alpha King would not just call for a banquet. Something was telling me that it was not right, and my instincts seemed to be flowing in the depths of basicity. Blake walked into the room, handing over to me the expensive suit he had specially prepared for me and was smiling. "That kind of smile running across your lips tells me that you're ready for a mate tonight," I teased. "Well, this is not a Blood Moon or the fucking gathering that we attend every year. This is a special banquet to celebrate the Alpha King and his so-called son." "You can find your mate anywhere, you know. I've heard of people who found their mates where they never expected it. It's an opportunity to find the other you, the half of yourself, and you have to grab it." "Well, enough of the lecture. Whet
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
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
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
