Tyler POV
My 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 wolf calm down.
I was off to the pack to spar with some of my strong Gammas in my pack house when Blake invited me to the Omega bidding. These things weren't of my kind, and I felt so distant from the hellacious trouble of buying a fucking maid for myself and getting the awkward attention of so many people, bringing more threats to my pack. This time, it was against the Alpha Prince Caddel. One of the soon-to-be Alpha Kings of the city.
I cleared my throat, and my wolf's eyes rolled, scanning the eyes of all the people here before my gaze finally landed on Prince Caddel.
A glimmer of disgust sparkled in his eyes, and I knew it wasn't going to be so good.
"I, Alpha Tyler Brock, hereby, offer five hundred grand to purchase this lowlife Omega," I firmly said, turning to look at the helpless she-wolf bound and corded.
Something felt wrong. My system didn't feel right. I could feel a sensational upthrust in my gut, a kind of weird feeling. It was as if I was overpowered by another aura. I glared at her, looking closely, and I had that feeling.
My whole body began rumbling, and I could feel the energy in me calibrating powerfully, and Tyson, my wolf, howled in me. My wolf wanted to lurch forward, take dominance over me, quite strange why. I managed to pull it into the realm of control, and Tyson settled down.
I didn't know why, but it felt strange. No Omega would have such a powerful and buzzing dominance swaddling around her. It was quite awkward that no one here other than me noticed, or it could have been the very reason why they wanted her so badly.
Was she an exceptional Omega?
"Alpha Tyler? Alpha of the Silver Claw Pack?" Prince Caddel asked, moving forward. I turned to him and met his ugly and sinful stern glare.
"Yes, His Majesty. It's good that you desire this Omega, however, I feel like she's going to have more use for me. Moreover, Caddel, you have so many Omegas under your control, and you can get anyone else. Can I get this one?" I asked politely, not wanting to anger him.
He could tell his father about it, and it would be so consequential.
"Why, if I may ask, would an Alpha of a prestigious pack need this Omega? If I'm not wrong also, you can have any other person you want. Why this one?" He asked, and I felt a slight bit of provocation brush past my mind.
"I can have this Omega to myself, at least?" I retorted, Tyson, my wolf, beginning to get upset.
"Oh, it seems Alpha Tyler needs this Omega. What if I say I won't let her go?" He asked, smirking, as he lurched forward.
"Tyson, control yourself. This is not the time to fight," I whispered to the wolf in me.
I didn't want to offend the Alpha Prince. He had his two brothers here, and he was a royal. Either my pack was going to be destroyed, or they would banish us from the city, me and my pack members to live as rogues for the rest of our lives.
"Alpha Prince Caddel, please. It's not going to get twisted now," I growled, getting impatient. I marched forward and whispered to him. "I need her. She's mine."
"Well, that sounds like a threat. What if I say that she belongs to me now and you can't get her?" He said, with an atrocious mien.
"Why is it taking time? Hope it's not getting heated," Blake spoke, maybe realizing that I was in a sort of trap.
If I took a step back, then, I would gather attention for daring to buy a worthless person from the Prince, and if I bought her, it'd be worse.
"I think it's not looking so good. This damn Prince is so annoying. I bet if he was a regular person, he'd have caught a jab from me already," I told Blake. His wolf grunted, a sign of desperation so clear, as my wolf could sense it oozing from him.
"Make sure you don't fight him. I'm sure you damn know what he'll do to your pack," Blake warned.
"I feel like I'll punch him anytime soon if I can't keep it in," I said, glaring at Caddel.
"Sure, the Alpha Prince has the power of getting anything, but I beg that I have this one," I said, not wanting to sound like I was inferior to him.
If not for the royalty that whelmed him, I would have broken his neck.
"I'm sorry, Prince Caddel, Alpha Tyler is the highest bidder, and thus is the one to go with the curse of my bones," another alpha, supposedly Alpha Julian, the stepfather of the Omega, said, coming in between us.
"What do you mean Alpha Julian? I can pay a hundred times what he just priced," Caddel boasted.
Well, that would make the Kingdom suffer, and I was sure of it. He wouldn't for hell's sake want to waste his father's money.
"Sure! You can…"
"Hold it. I don't need her anymore," Caddel said, storming out of the place.
I turned to look at the desperate bloke who wanted to give out a poor Omega she-wolf. Was she so much of a curse to him?
What exactly surrounded her? It just made me curious about what kind of a person she was. I looked back at her, her head bowed low, as she looked like she was passing out.
"Eh, Alpha Tyler, yes. It's so good to have you as the bidder of this Omega. How about we complete the formalities, and get rid of her from this house," Alpha Julian said, smiling at me.
"Well, I have a question to ask," I said, moving closer to him. "Why the fuck in the world do you want to sell her to me? She's such a pitiable thing, and I don't know if she deserves this," I told him, feeling a bit of compassion in me. I made sure to subdue it and glare at him with void emotions. His eyes widened, with surprise flitting across them.
"Well, she's just a slave we must sell, and it's good she's going to be your possession," he said, his arms jiggling as he mouthed out the words.
I didn't bother to ask any more questions, knowing the answers would come from an asshole who coveted his brother's pack. I knew everything about this alpha, and it was soon until I exposed him to the world.
I hurried up the winding staircase, and I could hear the footfalls catching up with me. My eyes rolled to the corners of this place. It was richly decorated as if it was a special day. The day the Alpha waited to get the curse off his life.
A cruel and atrocious Alpha who'd sell his stepdaughter.
Totally laughable.
After doing all the formalities, I met with my Beta outside. Blake seemed so impatient and paced around the car. His eyes caught mine, and he rushed up to me.
"Damn. That was taking too long. I waited fucking two hours," he complained, bracing his palm against his forehead.
"Well, I only wanted to go to the pack house and rest. Why did you call me here?"
"It was a great bid and I wished you to be there. Shit, I didn't know it'll take so long," he said, heaving a heavy sigh.
My breath stopped in my throat, winding back down, as I recalled the face of the Omega. Somehow, my wolf wasn't ready to let go of the memories.
"Now don't tell me you didn't get the Omega," he said, snapping his fingers at me. I glared at him, before dipping my hands in my pocket.
"Let's just say that I got the Omega. The fucking Alpha Prince was the first runner-up, and it seemed like defiance poaching higher than he did," I affirmed, clicking my tongue.
Blake's eyes twitched, and it seemed like he wasn't focused. He gazed past over my shoulder, and I turned to look at what he was so focused on.
There they were. The Princes. Alpha Prince Caddel and his brothers.
Caddle smirked, glaring at me with his usual sinful eyes, and Blake stood behind me.
"What must I have done to owe you that glare?" I asked him, keeping my wolf in control, as the fire of hatred for him burned through my veins.
"It seems Alpha Tyler doesn't know. It's become some kind of insanely twisted game, don't you think?" He asked his brothers and landed his glowering gaze on me.
"You dare take my brother's property? I think you should pay for this," Isaiah, the eldest of them, said, shoving his brother aside.
"An Omega slave belongs to no one other than her master, and I think I'm the rightful owner now," I retorted.
The anger showcased on his face more terribly.
"He has a dangerous attitude, I see. Let's see how far you'll get with this, you bloke," Caddel said.
"Well, it's better to be a bloke standing for himself, than a wuss hiding behind his brother. Greetings to the King, I think you all are missing something from him," I mouthed out boldly, my wolf urging me to fight.
Turning around to go, I could feel a strong grip on my arm.
"Just know one thing, Alpha Tyler. No matter what it is, you'll regret ever challenging me," Isaiah proclaimed, the fury evident in his tone. I flinched and winked at Blake.
Maybe he was enjoying the game too.
We got into the car, and I watched as their louring eyes meant only one thing.
I won against them. They were never going to play with me again. It was time to see what I paid for.
My slave - the Omega.
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
Theda POV Slowly and miraculously, a week passed. I had taken the Omega quarters as my new home and tried my best to be law-abiding despite the multiple yells I received from Zoey. I lived in the shadows of every other person in the quarters. Like most of the Omegas, I wasn't allowed to go out of the quarter and only a few can leave when they have to run an errand for Zoey. One thing was strange and creepy. It was the way Zoey and a few of the high-ranked Omegas stare at me. It was really weird because I found them whispering after staring long at me but I pretended not to care much, neither did I confront them. I was done sweeping the assigned portion of the quarter, I was cracking my knuckles to relax my sprained little finger bones when someone walked past me, shoving me with a shoulder that caused me to stumble. I fell to the ground, luckily with my hands and I heard a roar of disgusting laughter. I arose, dusting my clothes as I spun to meet three girls. Two of them see
Theda POV I hung my head as I shut my eyes, pressed my hands against my sides, and curled my toes in my boots, mentally preparing myself to take whatever verdict I was given. No, it can't be death. I won't die without liberating my family from the horrible hands of Julian. "Theda…you'll go over to the packhouse to serve Alpha Tyler for today." Upon hearing that, I flicked open an eye as murmurings filled the courtyard. Serve the Alpha for the day? How will I do that? So many similar questions ran through my mind until his Beta spoke. "Be at the packhouse in the next ten minutes," he informed me. As he withdrew his eyes from me, he rolled them at Lena who was smirking, and left. Zoey gave me a fierce look before entering the house. "Theda," Jasmine called with her soft voice as she stepped up next to me. She had a frightful look on her face which got me nervous. "Glad you didn't get a harsher punishment," she whispered to me. Lena walked up to us with a sneer plastered on her
Theda POVHe was standing at the door, some meters away but I could still feel his hot breath, making it feel like he was just an inch away.As he entered the office, my heart sank like the titanic ship, my head was hanging and I felt my body tremble.His eyes went down to the shattered glasses of the vase and his frown deepened."Did you break it?" He asked with a groan, and taking another step, my heartbeat increased rapidly. Still on the floor, I couldn't help but notice that he was a good foot taller than me, his black hair was slicked back with the finest gel, and his chiseled jaw set tight as he suddenly clenched his teeth, returning his gaze to me.Damn it. I wasn't really checking him out, was I? I slowly arose, thinking of an explanation to give."I…I…""Do you know what the heck you've done?" He grumbled. Reaching the table in between two couches, he sent it to an edge with his foot, causing me to stumble backward and land on the floor again.He took a step forward, shoot
Tyler POVI watched as a maid took care of the broken vase on the floor. My eyes rolled to each and every fraction of it, while my thoughts were a conflict between Theda, and to the person which this vase was linked to. Selena.I caught a view of a large fragment of it, having a stain of blood on it, and I grabbed it carefully."Alpha, it's a part of the vase," she said. I gave her a dismissive look, which meant I knew what I was doing, and I placed the fragment in a jar, placing it next to the picture of Selena, staring closely at it. It made memories ring in me, and I tried to hide my emotions. I turned around to see the maid done with cleaning the mess. Blake walked in hastily to the office, and my eyes rolled at him, scanning his body language and heavy expressions. Was he here with his usual tantrums again?"Are you all right?" He asked me when he stopped in front of me."Is she okay?""Who…?""Her. Theda, I mean," I retorted, ignoring his first question. For now, it seemed l
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
