Theda POVAs I let out a soft moan, he let go of me, sucking my bottom lip."Honestly, I don't want you lying in bed for a week. You're now my Luna and I need you right by my side every day.""Hmm, so?""Well, as a thoughtful husband, I was thinking maybe I should take you to the bathroom and help you bath."I couldn't stop myself when I heard his suggestion. It would be good but I don't think I will be able to handle myself in the bathroom if he helps me take a shower."Neither would I," he uttered, staring keenly at me."What do you mean?""You were thinking if you would be able to handle me In the bathroom and I said I won't be able to do that. I'm sure we would do a quickie in there. So, may I?""No. I'll go get a shower by myself, naughty Alpha Tyler.""Okay." He arose, and just when I was about to try to stand up, he grabbed me, swept me off my feet, and headed to the bathroom with me in his wide arms."Thank you," I mouthed as he placed me in the tub in the bathroom.

Theda POVHe stretched out his hand and placed it on my face, his face turning cold."Or, should I go after that evil stepfather of yours, Alpha Julian?"Yes, that was what I wanted, Tyler to crush the head of Julian. I wanted to see him on his knees begging me for his life, but I wanted to personally curse his pain, not through Tyler."Theda?""No, let Julia be, but I'd like to visit the pack and see my family someday.""You don't want them to come live with us here?"What? That's not going to easily work. I know Julian. My stepfather wasn't going to let go of my Mom and brother easily. If Tyler had to take them from him, it would be by force and it might lead to a tussle of power between them.Alpha Julian is a sadistic person. If he knows that I'm living a pleasant life, he wouldn't wish the same for my Mom and brother. He would try to make their life worse than before. I won't give him that chance. I'm going to cultivate myself to be strong and look forward to the time I'll get ri
Tyler POV I watched with a big smile which slowly disappeared as Theda exited the office, her steps kind of filled with uncertainty. The strange incident of the mug falling from the desk without any clear cause must have left her perplexed and I was too.I tried to remember the time I arose. It flashed in my mind and I recalled dropping the mug in front of me, so how did it manage to fall in front of the desk?"Tyler, there was something strange about what happened?" My Aunt said.I shrugged, pretending not to have an idea of what she was talking about as I went back to my seat. "What do you mean?""The mug." She pointed at the broken pieces. "Something is odd." I saw the doubt in her eyes as her words lingered in the air. "It merely fell because I didn't place it right, no big deal," I shrugged, attempting to dismiss her concern. But she just wouldn't let go."Really, Tyler?" She asked, skeptically, lifting up her eyebrows. "I'm sure you dropped it in front of you before approachin
Theda POVI quickly shrugged off the strange thoughts concerning the peculiar incident that happened and decided to get myself engaged in some things in the pack house.As I moved gracefully through the pack house, my presence commanded respect and authority, making everyone I saw bow to me in acknowledgment. I decided to check and supervise what was going on in the kitchen.Later, when I left the bustling kitchen, I made my way down the well-lit hall. I was happy to see the walls adorned with intricate tapestries which depicted the history of the pack, and soft music was playing in the background, creating a soothing atmosphere. The scent of freshly cleaned linens lingered in the air, it was a testament to the meticulousness with which I oversaw the cleaning of the house on a regular basis.As I walked, taking in the pleasant air, lost in my thoughts, something struck me. Today marked the 90th day since I had first met Tyler, the day that he had changed my life forever by saving my p
Tyler POV I decided to go to a secluded place to let out my pent-up anger. As I stepped into the training field known as the Seclude Fire, its name appropriately described the shielded and secluded nature of the place. The field was reserved exclusively for me, my Beta, and the Gammas, allowing us to train in our wolf forms without prying eyes. A sense of desolation washed over me, my heart getting heavier with every step I took as I was unable to digest the bitter truth that my Luna, Theda's father, was responsible for my misery.With a feeling of devastation and betrayal, I sought solace from the garage brightness of the field beneath the protective cover of branches belonging to a nearby tree.

Theda POV My eyes grew bigger as Tyler glared at me with feelings far from being love. I was greatly shocked by his reaction. I took a step forward but he held up a finger, forcing me to stop right at my track. "Don't come any inch closer to me?" His eyes hovered around and he let out a bitter chuckle that intensified me. "What's wrong, Tyler?" "You don't know, huh? I'll tell you!" In a wink of an eye, he kicked the footrest, sending it to a corner of the room. He recklessly grabbed the bed sheet, causing the flowers I had arranged on it to scatter on the floor and destroy the romantic atmosphere which I had meticulously prepared to celebrate the occasion. Witnessing the destruction, I was left in awe and confusion, unable to comprehend the reason behind his anger. I couldn't stand seeing him turn the room upside down, driven by my concern and a desire to intervene, I reached out to grab his arm, hoping to stop him. However, my attempt triggered an unexpected reaction from him. R
Theda POVA mix of emotions swirled within my mind—confusion, concern, and a growing desire to understand what he said. I pondered the possible reasons behind his secrecy, questioning whether it was to protect me from additional worry or if there were deeper motivations at play.Undeterred, I resolved to approach the situation with patience and empathy. I recognized that he might have his reasons for keeping things to himself, and I would respect his boundaries while sticking to my guts."Just sleep in another room for tonight, Theda, and…""No," I firmly said, inhaling. "I will go wait outside the room till he opens the door." I turned to leave but he grabbed my arm, stopping me."Theda, please do as I said.""No, I am sorry.

Tyler POV My heart pounded in my chest as I found myself in the midst of a haunting dream. In the ethereal realm of my subconscious mind, I had witnessed a scene that pierced my soul with sorrow. The surroundings were blurred, and suddenly I was standing beside the bed where my late despondent mother lay, her frail form consumed by illness. I was overwhelmed by my emotions, fighting to suppress the swelling in my eyes as my gaze fell on her, and my heart shattered at the sight. She appeared so fragile, her once vibrant spirit was long diminished by the weight of her suffering due to the unexpected death of my father. Her pale hand, icy to the touch, lay motionless beside her. With a voice weighed down with fragility, she spoke, her words carrying a bittersweet longing, "Theda, my son, I think I can't keep going any longer. I'm already dead. My time is near_" "Mother, please." I took in her hand, bringing it up and placing it on my hot face, making her smile and cough at the same t
