Or do you want Tyler to be her savior again? Kindly tell me your thoughts in the comment section, would appreciate that. Thank y'all.
Tyler POVBlake gave a firm nod before he glanced above his shoulder at me and said, "Alright. I hope you have a good night's rest while Theda stays out there." With that, he left with a frown.I found myself drawn to the window just a minute after Blake had left. A sense of urgency gripped me as I parted the curtains, revealing a scene that shook me to my core. My eyes widened in disbelief as I beheld Theda lying helplessly on the ground, drenched by the relentless rain. The sight struck my heart like a lightning bolt, and my instincts as my wolf surged forth, manifesting as a sharp cry from deep within my chest. Every beat of my heart echoed loudly in my ears as a mixture of fear and determination coursed through my veins. I felt as though I might explode if I continued to watch from the confines of my room which made me close the window with a forceful motion. My frustration and desperation manifested as I swiftly kicked to the nearby bed, a physical release of the overwhelming
Theda POV As I slowly opened my eyes, regaining my consciousness, I wondered who had saved me and took me out from the rain. I found my small frame curled up beneath the covers on top of a soft bed. As I managed to sit up on the bed, the door was opened and Blake walked in with a bowl of hot soup. "You're awake. Good. You need to have this soup now." He handed the bowl of soup over to me as he scanned my expression. As I held the bowl, its comforting aroma filled the room. Despite the nourishment before me, my thoughts were preoccupied with the events of the previous night. Then it struck me again. Who saved me? I looked around, noticing that I wasn't in my new room. "You're in the packhouse, Theda," he informed me. I nodded, observing my surroundings. "Beta Blake, were you the one that saved me last night?" I inquired, my voice soft and laced with curiosity. I longed to know the identity of the person who had carried my unconscious form out of the rain and into the safety o
Theda POV In the midst of my fear, my mind raced, desperately searching for a solution to survive this dire situation. Despite my inability to shift, I knew I had to think quickly and find a way to protect myself. As the wolves drew nearer, I considered my options.I scanned the surroundings, looking for any potential tools or objects that I could use as a makeshift defense. Perhaps there were rocks, branches, or anything that could be used as a deterrent. I could throw objects at the wolves to create a distraction, buying my precious moments to devise a more effective strategy. Simultaneously, I remembered the slaves who hadn't shifted and had stepped back, creating a gap between the wolves and me. I realized that they might provide a temporary shield against the approaching wolves. If I could navigate through the slaves, I might be able to gain some distance from the oncoming danger, but I would be endangering their lives too.No. His words rang in my head, forcing me to rememb
Theda POV"Theda, things might get worse if you're around Tyler. You should be away from him.""You said he was stressed, was that true?"He sighed and nodded. "Think about yourself now. Alpha Tyler doesn't know how to control his anger. You should be away from him.""No. I won't just run away leaving him to be consumed in his misery.""Theda, think about it." He gave me a long glance before leaving me. Some minutes later, I burst through the doors of the clinic with a mix of determination and pain etched across my face. My ankle throbbed with each step I took. Seeking solace and healing, I knew that Doctor Marcus was the one who could tend to my wounds. He was a confidant to many in the pack too, and as soon as I entered, he looked up from his desk. Concern filled his eyes as he took in my condition. He gestured for me to take a seat on the examination table, and with a gentle touch, he began assessing my injured ankle."Luna Theda," he began, his voice calm yet laden with curiosit
Theda POV I stood before Alpha Tyler, my gaze unwavering as I locked eyes with him. The once warm and familiar orbs now seemed cold and distant, devoid of the affection and connection we once shared. Taking a deep breath to steady myself as I mustered the courage to start talking to him."What's wrong with you?" My voice held a mix of frustration and desperation. "Why have you changed? Why are you acting like this? And why did you do that yesterday?" Alpha Tyler's response was curt, his tone laced with impatience. "Too many questions," he retorted, his words cutting through the air. "You're lucky it started raining, or else I would have enjoyed watching them chasing you till you're down. Now, don't say anything, but do as I say." My heart sank at his callous words. I fought back tears, refusing to let them spill over and betray my emotions. "I am not seeing you as my Luna now. I see you as a mere Omega, Theda."The pain of his unheld crushing words radiated through me, but I remai
Theda POV Dread washed over me like a tidal wave after the guards seized me, their firm grip on my arms serving as a harsh reminder of my sudden fall from grace. The weight of the situation settled heavily upon my shoulders, and I struggled to comprehend the abrupt turn my life had taken.Alpha Tyler, the man who had once professed his undying love for me stood tall before me with a cold detachment that sent shivers down my spine, it was unbelievable, but it was true. As I opened my mouth to defend myself, his hand rose to my face, silencing my protestations, and his eyes, once filled with warmth and adoration, now appeared vacant, devoid of any semblance of emotion. The realization struck me like a stab to the heart – this was not the man I had fallen in love with.My mind reeled with disbelief as I tried to make sense of the situation. How could he punish me for defending myself against Lena, who had so callously disregarded me? Taking another attempt, my voice trembled as I plead
Tyler POV I couldn't express how happy I was to have Theda behind bars. I had actually asked Lena to go and piss her off and she fell for my trap. Not being able to hurt her the past week left me destabilized after I had faced days of torment from my wolf. It was unbearable but I survived. I think I need to focus more on controlling my wolf. I will never let Tyson control me. Standing by the window of my office, enjoying the pleasant night breeze and having some whiskey, I was taken aback as the door was forcefully pushed open. I turned with knitted brows to see Blake stomp into the office with a displeasing look plastered on his face. "What the heck!" I growled, dropping my glass. "Why barge in like that?" "Why have Theda locked in the cell, Tyler?" He curtly asked, meeting my fierceness head-on. "You have no right to question me." "This is wrong!" He held his hand to slam the desk but stopped himself and threw his hand into the air in pure fury. "You shouldn't be treating her
Theda POV I couldn't believe the words that had just come out of the alpha's mouth. How could my father be responsible for his father's death? I found myself frozen in a state of shock as Alpha Tyler abruptly appeared before me, his sudden presence and forceful action catching me off guard. Startled by the sound and impact of his hand slamming above my head, I instinctively recoiled, my heart racing with a mix of fear and confusion. Thoughts raced through my mind in a whirlwind of disbelief. This is a lie. I was desperately clinging to the hope that there had been some misunderstanding. There's absolutely no way my father could have attacked his pack and killed his father. My eyes widened, reflecting the tumultuous emotions swirling within me. As the weight of the accusation sank in, destabilizing my being, I mustered the courage to speak, my voice quivering slightly, yet filled with determination. Despite the piercing and emotionless gaze of the alpha, I felt compelled
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
