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
Tyler POV The bitch was obviously planning on terminating Theda. No way! "Adriana!" I growled, startling her. She looked up at me with shock. Adriana's hands slipped off her grips and she quickly took them and was about to pull Theda into the vault but I rushed to her. I sent her flying down to a corner of the room as I ferociously gave her a backhand slap. I glanced at her as she coughed out blood before closing the vault and lifting Theda up. She was unconscious. Oh, my world. I never thought Adriana could be this malevolent. She had gotten Theda unconscious and brought her to this room. The vault - 'Souls Dungeon' is a chilling and foreboding vault, tucked away at the rear of the room. Despite its relatively small size, measuring nearly half the dimensions of the room, its ominous presence casts a dark shadow over the entire room. Just as the name implies, it is a place where the essence of life and vitality is mercilessly drained away, leaving behind only emptiness and de
Tyler POVFirst, I should ask how she's doing. "Theda, are you okay?" She nodded and struggled to sit up until I helped her. When she looked around, astonishment showed On her face and I could tell she was wondering where she was."You're in my room," I informed her, almost in a light whisper.She nodded and touching the back of her head, she winched. I had to know what had gotten her unconscious."Theda, who made you unconscious?""I don't know. I was in the room when I sensed someone's presence, I was about to turn around and see who it was before I got stricken.""You didn't see the person's face?" Blake asked. I could sense the curiousness in his voice.Theda shook her head and looked away as if recalling something or trying to remember something."I only know it was a female. Through the haze, I had vaguely made out the figure of a girl. I'm not sure who it was."I gave Blake a stare and he understood what I was trying to say to him."I know, I guess it's Adriana," he mindlinke
Theda POV Seeing Alpha Prince Caddel wasn't what I would term as good luck. It was a pure omen. If I hadn't gotten too overwhelmed earlier, I would have thought it well to ask Alpha Tyler if the Alpha Princes would be present at the party.Earlier I was lost when he was approaching us and filling my eyes with the environment.My excitement Instantly vanished when I caught his gaze. I felt suddenly uncomfortable.Who wouldn't be?The Alpha prince, Caddel, was the monster who almost bought me and he was in front of me. It gave me creeps the way he stared at me. His sly eyes proved his foxy nature. I didn't know what made me do it but I clenched my fist when he kept on smiling. I wanted to punch him right in the face and say- 'Take your rotten eyes off me.'When he called out to me in a sort of lascivious manner, I was forced to gulp and I sought confidence by tightening my wrapped arm around the alpha's arm.I didn't bother to look up to see his reaction."You must be Theda, right?" H
Theda POVWas I going to be resold to this beasty Alpha prince? Watching the calmness in the alpha's eyes, I felt so and that caused my heart to start racing. I had no idea of what was going to come next.The suspense was killing me slowly as I watched both of them stare at each other until things got intensified when Prince Caddel motioned to his brother.Prince Damien snapped his fingers and someone approached us. I guess he was one of the Betas.He held up a briefcase, opened it, and showed it to Alpha Tyler. My eyes grew a bit bigger as I saw the bundles of money stacked in it. "Alpha Tyler, that's a million dollars. I'm paying double to have her as mine.""She's not worth that," the Alpha uttered, and my eyes grew bigger as I stared at him.What did he mean? Wait, was he trying to portray that I don't worth a million dollars? Meaning I'm kind of worthless?'Don't drive into conclusion,' Tanya advised and I ogled at the Alpha Prince as he clapped his hands above his head."You're
Tyler POVWhat did I just say? My mate?I felt my heart pounding in my chest as the weight of my words settled upon him. Shock rippled through his veins, mingling with a mixture of disbelief and a bit of regret.Why did I say that?It was solely my wolf's fault. My fucking wolf always gets the better of me. Screw him.Earlier when Caddel was disregarding me, I just couldn't stand it. When he touched Theda, Tyson got pissed off and I fought my wolf for control, rage building inside me as I tried to tolerate the jerk of an Alpha prince. But when he had called Theda a wore, I didn't know why, I just reacted without thinking.I knew Tyson felt peace after I was done trashing him, but that didn't stop him from pushing further for control when the Alpha King pronounced that Theda was just a slave, causing me to utter she was my mate.Tyson is going to get a mouthful from me when I'm done with all this and…'Cut the crap, I just forced you to reveal a truth, driven by an undeniable, instin
Theda POVI stood in the hallway, my eyes fixed on the spot where Alpha Tyler had just vanished from view. A mix of emotions flooded me, leaving me feeling both exhilarated and uncertain. As I watched him disappear, my heart raced with excitement. Vaguely touching my face which the Alpha's hand had brushed against when he had gently tucked the loose strands of hair behind my ear, I smiled like a fool. It was a simple gesture but it had sent shivers down my spine and ignited a spark within me.At that moment, my wolf had awakened. My primal instincts surged through me, causing my cheeks to flush. I had tried my best to hide my reaction, not wanting to give away the effect the alpha had on me. But deep down, I felt an undeniable pull towards him, a connection that was both gladdening and terrifying.The elation I felt earlier was still fresh in my mind. The Alpha had pronounced that I was his mate, a proclamation that had left me breathless and sort of overwhelmed.As I retreated to my
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
