Tyler POV Seeing the astonishment in Theda's eyes was what satiated my anger a little. I can't believe the nonsense she's saying."A- Alpha Ty- Tyler… ah."I tightened my grip as she uttered my name in a mumble, forcing her to let out a shriek. She reached out slowly and held my hand which was around her jaw, as if trying to relay something to me with her eyes which were becoming teary. The fear of breaking her jawbone forcefully crept into my heart which I had chained and I couldn't stop myself from letting go of her as a drop of tears rolled down her cheeks. I turned my back to her, returning my eyes' color to its normal color."Alpha Tyler, you need to believe me, please.""Be quiet and leave," I ordered but she annoyed me the most by restating her claim."My father is innocent."I spun and grabbed her shoulders as I yelled at her face. "Your father is a killer and it would be tough for you if you stop trying to prove him innocent or you would face my wrath.""Okay then. I am n
Theda POV I found myself becoming increasingly drawn to the Alpha's proximity. As he leaned in, I could hear the rhythm of his heartbeat, a steady and comforting sound that resonated through me. Despite my efforts to suppress my trembling, I couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement building within me. Just as I felt myself becoming lost in the moment, the Alpha released a soft breath, causing me to tremble even more. The sensation traveled through my body, intensifying my anticipation. And then, unexpectedly, he brushed his lips against my ear, his warm breath sending shivers down my spine. In a hushed voice, he whispered words that sent a chill through my entire being."It will be my pleasure," he said, his tone cold and devoid of emotion. "And slowly, by slowly, I will leave you lifeless before me someday." The alpha's words pierced through my reverie, jolting me back to reality. The fantasy I had woven in my mind shattered, replaced by a sudden awareness of the danger I mi
Theda POV My astonishment mingled with disbelief as I grappled with the realization that the alpha, the man who had once loved me intensely, now sought to witness my fight for survival. It was a cruel twist of fate that shattered my previous perception of our relationship, leaving me questioning how things had come to this. My thoughts were abruptly interrupted as the Gammas forcefully made me kneel, their grip firm and unyielding. They swiftly blindfolded me, robbing me of my vision and plunging me into a world of darkness and uncertainty. With my sight taken away, my other senses heightened, and my heart pounded in my chest, a deafening drumbeat of anticipation. I took a deep breath, steeling myself for the impending trial, unsure of what lay ahead but resolved to fight with every ounce of my being to survive. My survival mantra -'I can't die till my mother and brother are in good hands', kept ringing in my head. Seemed like a minute later, the piercing sound of the alarm
Tyler POV As I returned to my office, my usually confident demeanor was replaced with a deep frown etched across my face. I was gnashing my teeth in fury. I had just settled down in my comfortable leather chair, contemplating my aunt's involvement and the abrupt end of my sadism, when the door swung open and she stepped inside. Her presence alone commanded attention, and I could not help but feel a tinge of annoyance at her interruption. Just as I was about to wonder why she had decided to intervene and intercede for Theda, saving her from the remaining torments I had meticulously planned, she cut straight to the chase."Why have you drastically changed, Tyler?" she asked, her voice filled with concern and a touch of disappointment. "First, you denounced Theda from being your Luna, then you disregarded her, and now you are torturing her. What has she done wrong?" A mix of surprise and irritation flickered across my face as I locked eyes with her. I was not accustomed to being qu
Theda POVMy eyes fluttered open, and I found myself lying on a stretcher in the Pack's clinic room. The throbbing pain in my wounded shoulder reminded me of recent events. I gingerly touched the bandaged area, grateful that my injury had been tended to. As my mind cleared, thoughts of Blake filled my consciousness. I wondered if he had gone to see the Alpha, driven by anger and frustration which was evident in his demeanor earlier. The uncertainty weighed heavily on me, adding to my already aching heart. I didn't want to be the reason for their argument. I feared the consequences of his confrontation, both for him and for their fragile relationship.Just then, the door swung open, and Blake walked into the room. The sight of his long face sent a pang of worry through my chest. Was their argument severe?"Blake?""I confronted Tyler," he said with an unpleasant tone, chewing his teeth. I attempted to sit up, wanting to hear the details of what had transpired, but Blake gently but f
Theda POV I felt like I had been stabbed in the cruelest as his hurtful words and threat began to settle upon me. I felt a lump forming in my throat, and I fought back the tears that threatened to spill from my eyes. My voice quivered slightly, but I summoned all my courage and boldly stated in my defiance."You can't break me, Alpha," I said, her voice filled with determination, "And just know that I'll never stop loving you, despite how badly you treat me." My words hung in the air as his brows wrinkled. I couldn't tell if he was astonished by my resilience. A sinister smile played upon Alpha Tyler's lips as he straightened up, his posture exuding a cold and calculated indifference. He shrugged dismissively, his eyes glinting with malice as he responded, "You won't expect what's coming next. Until you acknowledge your father's crime, you'll keep paying for it." My heart sank at his words. I didn't want to tell him again that my late father was innocent, that he had wrongly ac
Theda POVWas this real?I couldn't comprehend at that moment and I stood there, my gaze fixed on the note in my hand. The elegant handwriting on the paper matched the one I had come to recognize as the Alpha's. It was a small gesture, but it meant the world to me at this moment. I couldn't help but feel a rush of happiness coursing through my veins. As my eyes shifted from the note to the ointment bottle, a smile curved on my lips. The ointment was a thoughtful gift, a remedy for the minor injuries she had sustained during my recent encounters. It was a clear indication that Alpha Tyler still cared for my well-being. But my mind wandered, contemplating the reason behind the Alpha's sudden change. Was it because Blake promised to talk to him? Had Blake's intervention sparked a transformation within Alpha Tyler? The thought filled me with hope and excitement, causing a soft giggle to escape my lips. The next day, as I happened to pass by the packhouse, my eyes widened with joy wh
Tyler POV I observed Theda with a hint of amusement dancing in my eyes as she stared at the slab of glittering ice in the basin. The room was heavy with an intense atmosphere, growing colder by the moment. I maintained my seat on the rocking chair, my expression unyielding and remote. Theda's voice trembled as she mustered the courage to speak, her words hesitant and filled with disbelief. "That's... ice, Alpha Tyler. You want me to..." Before she could finish her sentence, I interrupted her once again, my voice laced with a mixture of amusement and authority. "Yes, step on it and stand on it until it melts," I commanded, a subtle smile playing on my lips. Theda stared at me in shock, her mind was probably struggling to comprehend the request I had just made. The weight of my words seemed to sink in, and the shock turned to a mixture of fear and confusion. "Get on it, now!" My growl pierced the silence, leaving her no choice but to comply. With hesitant steps, she cautiously s
