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
Theda POV Uncertainty washed over me and before I could verbally refuse Blake's suggestion, he continued, insisting. "I'll get you a pregnancy kit so that you can use and confirm," he reassured me, his determination evident. My heart raced as I contemplated the possibility. Though I knew that finding out the truth was necessary, apprehension lingered within me. I started having doubts the next second as I felt a whirlwind of emotions. I opened my mouth to speak, to stop him from leaving, but he gently sat me down on the bed and patted my shoulder, silently urging me to stay put. As Blake left the room, my mind raced. I began pacing back and forth, trying to make sense of what was happening. My life seemed to be taking an unexpected turn, and I couldn't help but wonder how I had arrived at this point. Minutes turned into what felt like an eternity for me. Each passing second seemed to amplify the uncertainty and anticipation building up inside me I anxiously awaited Blake'
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
