Theda POV I stood frozen, my eyes wide with shock and disbelief as the Alpha's words echoed in her ears. "Don't you dare lay a hand on Lena ever again." His warning carried an angry undertone that sent shivers down her spine, but it was the pain in her chest that consumed her. "She's my soon-to-be Luna. So RESPECT her." My lips parted, but the weight of my emotions stifled any words that threatened to escape. I became speechless. My gaze flickered past the Alpha, catching a glimpse of Lena standing behind him. To my horror, Lena wore a cruel smile, reveling in the chaos she had caused. Unable to tear my eyes away, I watched as the Alpha abruptly turned, his grip tight on Lena's arm. In an instant, their lips collided in a passionate kiss, as if their connection was something I had merely imagined. The sight was a dagger to my wounded heart, a painful confirmation of the shattered love I held for the man standing before me. The burning sensation on my face jolted me back to
Theda POVMy eyes widened as I shifted my gaze and caught Lena's fear-stricken expression when Blake approached her and my fear slowly withered. Lena stammered, her voice trembling with uncertainty, "Beta Blake... the Alpha gave me permission to punish her." Ignoring Lena's feeble attempt to justify her actions, Blake forcefully pushed her aside, his focus solely on me. With a determined stride, he reached me and gently lifted me into his arms, cradling my broken and bloodied body. As he began to walk past the Alpha, his steps halted abruptly as the Alpha emitted a low growl. The tension in the air was palpable. The Alpha, seemingly challenged by Blake's actions, demanded, "Stop right there!" Blake turned to face the Alpha, his grip on me unwavering. His tone was firm as he replied, "I'll take her to the clinic." The Alpha's expression contorted with anger and defiance. "Blake…?!""She needs medical attention," Blake's voice cut in, bordering on shouting. I observed the blunt de
Theda POV Without a second thought, I swiftly and silently slipped through the partly-opened doors at the entrance. I could hear the faint echoes of footsteps, their rhythm leading me to believe that the intruders had made their way upstairs. The urgency of the situation propelled me forward, my senses on high alert. As I ascended the staircase, a strange scent filled my nostrils. It was unlike anything I had ever encountered before, and it sent a shiver down my spine. I knew I was getting closer to the source of the danger. I followed the distinct footprints, careful not to make a sound. The trail led me to the alpha's room. Peering through the crack in the door, my eyes widened, and I gasped in shock as I met a sight that left me speechless—a deadly scene unfolding before my eyes. My eyes widened in horror as I witnessed a rogue drawing closer to the Alpha's bedside, a dagger ominously gripped in their hand. My instincts screamed at me to protect my mate, to launch myself fo
Tyler POV I found myself consumed by conflicting emotions as I sprinted down the dimly lit hallway with a determination that matched my fierce nature. The sound of my footsteps echoed through the corridor, resonating with the weight of my decisions. As I ran, my thoughts became a battleground. I had intentionally left Theda behind, vulnerable to the rogues, with the belief that she was insignificant, merely a pawn in the deadly game I was playing with her to make her crash. But fate had other plans for me. At that pivotal moment, my wolf bellowed out a resonating cry, piercing through my consciousness. "Mate!" The word hung heavily in the air, commanding my attention and evoking a surge of conflicting emotions. My pace faltered; I stopped abruptly, my body tense and my breaths shallow. My gaze drifted back towards the closed door of my room, where Theda remained probably struggling with the rogues for her life. A battle waged within me. On one side, my pride and desire for
Tyler POV My gaze bore into Blake with a mix of anger and disbelief as the words hung heavily in the air. "Are you trying to say..." I began, my voice laced with a challenging tone, my alpha dominance asserting itself. Blake, however, stood his ground, unwavering in his conviction. He met my glare with a calm resolve, his voice steady and respectful. "With due respect, I'm saying it as a matter of fact," Blake replied, his words cutting through the tension. "I think Theda deserves someone who's not the least bit of a monster, as you've become." The directness of Blake's statement caused my features to contort momentarily, a bitter chuckle escaping my lips. The realization of my own transformation seemed to sting, even if just for a moment. My eyes narrowed, my grip on my emotions tightening."You call me a monster because of Theda?" I inquired, my voice laced with a mix of defensiveness and wounded pride. Blake held his ground, unyielding in the face of my intimidation. "I'm ju
Theda POV I could feel my heart pounding in my chest as I struggled to maintain my composure under Alpha Tyler's scrutinizing gaze. His eyes bore into mine with an intensity that sent shivers down my spine, making it difficult for me to hold my ground. But I knew I had to confront him, to demand answers for the pain he had caused me. Summoning every ounce of strength, I took a deep breath, my voice quivering slightly as I spoke. "Alpha Tyler, I thought our bond was unbreakable. But I was wrong." My voice wavered, betraying my vulnerability despite my best efforts to remain composed. Alpha Tyler's expression remained unreadable, his face a mask of detachment. "Indeed you were," he replied coldly, his words cutting through the air like a knife. "But it's also unfortunate you are Alpha Reig's daughter." I felt my heart sink at his words, the weight of his disapproval crushing my spirit. I had hoped for understanding, for a glimmer of the connection we had once shared, but inst
Theda POV The next day, as the evening shadows lengthened, I made my way past the imposing entrance of the Pack's territory. My eyes casually scanned the area, taking note of the guards engaged in animated conversation near the gate. Their voices carried snippets of discussions about the allure of curvy female Omegas, their attention seemingly consumed by such trivial matters. Horny bastards who can't wait to grab a weak, full-packed Omega and seek pleasure with her! Jasmine was right when she told me one day that even though things weren't well between the Alpha and me, I was still among the lucky Omegas in the pack whom no man dared to lust after because they feared the Alpha and felt I was still his Luna since he hasn't come out to reveal the date he was marrying Lena and making her his new Luna. Lost in my own thoughts, my gaze shifted, drawn to a figure hovering in the distance, far from the bustling entrance. A sense of unease prickled at my senses as I struggled to place t
Theda POV My eyes went round as I let out a bitter chuckle, a mixture of disbelief and anguish. The weight of Alpha Tyler's refusal to help my family crashed upon me, shattering the remnants of hope I had clung to."You're joking, right?" My voice trembled with a mix of frustration and incredulity. "My mother, my brother, their lives are on the line, and you said 'no'? How can you say that? I'm your LUNA." But Alpha Tyler remained unmoved, his expression unyielding. He met my gaze with cold indifference, his voice cutting through the air with callousness. "I won't repeat myself again," he stated firmly. "My 'no' is my 'no.' I have no relationship with you or your family." My heart sank further as I absorbed his words. The pain of his rejection intensified, and I struggled to comprehend the lack of empathy he displayed. The weight of his indifference hung heavy in the air, leaving me feeling small and insignificant. But I finally grabbed it- it was over between us. I guess it was
