(THIRD POV)Thanus caught a glimpse of Titania coming up behind him. He had a good idea why she was angry and that it had something to do with him. He was overcome with the thought that he had irritated her in some way.Titania Summer's eyes narrowed and shone with intense rage, demanding, "Give my earrings back!"She had the attitude that you shouldn't touch her property, and Thanus mentally sighed as her rough behavior challenge him.Feisty!He and Kaede wouldn't deny the attraction he felt toward Titania's tenacity. The 25% werewolf who he claims to be his mate is not easily intimidated by his alpha male aura. And she appeared even more fascinating at that point. He couldn't, however, let her know how much she means to him.Thanus shook his head and sniggered, "Forget those horrible earrings. Without those stupid awful embellishments, she actually looks more lovely.Titania appeared to be even more furious as she sauntered in his direction more quickly. Then she snarled, "That's it
- TITANIA- The day was bright and warm when an unidentified woman with blonde hair entered the cabin like a queen bitch wearing a body-hugging dress and a pair of designer high heels sandals that could dig a hole with each step. She arched her brows to practically the top of her skull when she saw me, instantly raising the humidity. Her eyes swept every inch of my body as she evaluated me, likely in an effort to scare me.She clearly didn't like me, so I was forced to spend the entire noontime outside sitting on a bench beneath a tree and glancing over at the jerk and his guest who was sitting on the couch in the living room.I didn't mean to be nosy, but as I discreetly observed their tender moments, my stomach turned with contempt. Thanus Morgan kissed me a little over an hour ago. How was it that he could then flirt with other women?My face scrunched up, and I shook my head. The blonde girl's behavior toward the beast suggests that she is more than simply a casual friend. She is
-TITANIA-We were strolling past what Neru termed pack houses when he gave me a bottle of cold water. After finishing my meal, I decided to view the beautiful countryside outside rather than continue to have my breakfast in the opulent but chilly mansion."Thanks, buddy," I muttered in a contented voice and slouched down on a bench under a large tree not far from the playground where the children were playing. Then, because I felt so full, I patted my middle. 'I guess I ate a lot.'Because I haven't eaten since the morning. I neglected to realize how hungry I was since I was too focused on confronting Thanus about my missing earrings.Neru caught my attention as he started a conversation before sitting on my side leaving a big space between us. "I believe that you are Henry Summer's granddaughter and you're staying with the Alpha in his cabin, right?" he inquired. Even though I frowned at the way his voice quavered when he mentioned Thanus Morgan, I refrained from commenting out of re
-TITANIA-"What time?" I queried seriously over the phone to Mr. Sean. When I walked out of the cabin, he gave me a ring and told me about a big fight with an enticing monetary prize. My handler abruptly informed me of the time and other details, prompting me to double my speed in the front yard and ride my huge bike with eagerness."Where do you think you're going?" Thanus the Beast stood at my side unexpectedly, his co Ituntenance gloomy.His presence startled me a little, but I chose to ignore him and slipped the key into the ignition, starting the engine. I didn't have time to dispute with him at the time because he was an eyesore and I didn't want to waste my time with him. My actions, however, irritated the jackass even more, as he grabbed my arm and muttered, "I am asking you, Summer!""Fuck off!" I yelled back, yanking my arm back before jerking my leg and kicking him away.Thanus stumbled backward, and I seized the opportunity to flee before he could stop me. I heard him curs
-TITANIA- I had been duped.Mr. Sean, who led me to the cage fight, and then my ex-boyfriend ditched me and left me in a massive debt following his mysterious absence. I was always aware that he was dating me because I am one of Senior Henry's granddaughters. That he's pursuing our family's money.My grandfather warned me about him and told me to keep away from him, but I didn't listen. We clashed, and I fled away from home, living alone until I uncovered my boyfriend's infidelity.I caught him cheating and confronted him, but he blamed me for everything. He said he's a guy, and he needs what I can't give him because I want to be pure till we marry. He told me that I should be grateful that he can stand up to a monster like me.Yes!He's a complete asshole.My first heartbreak came when he ended our relationship, and the next day he was in an accident and vanished from the hospital without a trace. I heard he got into difficulty with the mafia, and subsequently found out it was with
-TITANIA- "I've told you, this is nothing. I won't die with this."In an instant, Thanus Morgan's jaw ticked. He snatched the monoblock chair across from me and tossed it away, causing a loud thud when it collided with a neighboring tree. "Don't you realize you're a stubborn woman? Your legs were severely hurt, and you still have the audacity to tell me it's nothing?"My eyes rolled and I gave him a monotonous expression.He lost his cool yet again. Why couldn't he just relax for a second? He's usually roaring like a raging bull as if he's looking for a fight.And he merely said I'm a stubborn woman. Really? But what about him and his uncontrollable rage?Shaking my head, I turned to the cabin's window and caught a glimpse of the blond woman inside eavesdropping on our chat.My eyebrows furrowed.I didn't see her last night, to be honest. I believed she had already left. Still, she's nothing to worry about, so I returned my focus to Thanus, who has high blood pressure whenever he's a
Thanus could not conceal his rage when he confronted the mutts he recognized were Digo's comrades. "Kill them," Kaede snarled at the back of his head. His wolf has a short leash for those who disobey and defy the law of the Dark Moon resulting in Thanus's wrath flaring up.The alpha moved like the wind and grabbed the neck of the rascal who was closer to him— making Kaede grumble in satisfaction."A-alpha!' the mutt groaned in anguish while struggling in Thanus's hand. Instead of hearing his plea, the alpha tightened his grip on him."Speak! How did that mother fucker escape!" Thanus was usually not ruthless to his subordinates however, he could not apply mercy to the situation at that moment.One of them cried out and clung to his knees while shaking in fear. "Alpha, spare us! We don't know how Digo ran away but we are willing to help in tracking his whereabouts. We knew the place where he usually hang out! Alpha, hear us, please!" the dupe begged.Thanus bellowed audibly and releas
-TITANIA-"Leave now!" with jaw clenched, Thanus grunted as his burning anger orifices settled on me.My chest heaved up and down as I huffed and mumbled, "W-what?" The stupid jerk. Is he serious about believing that wench? "She's the one who tried to kill me. That woman is fucking crazy!" with frustration in my voice, I fended myself.Goddess.Is he blind to see that I am also bleeding? He's being unjust to side with that liar!"No, Than! It's her who provoked me! She suddenly attack me and wanted to kill me! You've seen it with your own eyes!" Emilia denied my statement while sobbing in the alpha's chest.My teeth ground as I placed the knife I was holding on the countertop. I then rested my hands on my hips and shook my head.The bimbo is a great actress. How I wanted to break her neck for framing me. Out of anger, I stared at Thanus and snapped, "Yes, I tried to kill her simply because she wanted to murder me! What? Should I just let that bitch rip me into pieces?"If he really sa
-TITANIA-The night breeze was cool, yet I felt the opposite. It felt like my entire body was in a furnace. I put on the air conditioning and opened the windows, but nothing helped. I'd been tossing and turning in bed for hours, feeling even more sweaty and tense.Fucking hell! What is happening to me?My gaze was drawn to Thanus on the couch, who had his eyes closed but was clearly awake."When are we going back to the cabin, sweetheart? It's more comfortable being there than here," I questioned, scratching my arms, which felt like needles were poking me."Maybe next week," he answered, swiftly turning on his side and withdrawing away from me.My brow furrowed when I noticed something fishy in his voice as if he was having difficulty speaking. But, when I felt incessant pricking on my body, my mind was drawn back to my current predicament. "What the hell! Is there a virus in your room, Thanus? I've been itching for hours and it's crazy hot here!" I exclaimed, annoyed and harshly.He
- TITANIA-It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining softly and the air was cool, making it an ideal time to take a stroll in Spring Valley. I walked around the neighborhood with Emilia. Neru informed all pack members the other day that I am Thanus Morgan's mate, so most of them are already accustomed to seeing me around. They even referred to me as their luna, which felt peculiar. A long sigh escaped my lips. I should get used to it because I had already made a bargain with the alpha to start over in Dark Moon."My father's pack is twice as big as this pack," Emilia said as we walked to the east side of the region. I looked at her and realized she wasn't being overly cocky."The Black Forest is fairly far from the east continent; why spend a vacation here when there are nicer places close to your territory?"Despite the fact that we began as rivals and had several difficult encounters, the bad blood between us faded. I had no idea if she had altered her attitude because she had di
-TITANIA-Neru, Emilia, and I made our way through the congested corridor. The music was blaring and I couldn't hear anything from the audience. My nose twitched as I detected the unpleasant odors of sweat emanating from them, making me feel nauseating and anxious.'Fuck it. I couldn't help myself! 'Although I knew Thanus was a powerful shifter, the opponents in the death cage were also formidable. They were ruthless and had no qualms about eliminating their competitor.Mr. Sean and I had a serious conversation, and I easily persuaded him to send Thanus to the highlight match in my place. My manager doesn't mind since if Thanus wins, he will also get a large sum of money. Three matches had already been completed, and the most anticipated combat would shortly commence. This implies Thanus will get his turn."Luna, here," Neru shouted out while holding Emilia's hand tightly.The beta got a fantastic spot in the front row on the terrace where we could get an excellent view of the combat
-TITANIA- Thanus' face flushed with surprise when he heard what I called him. His face grew pale, and his jaw dropped for a moment before he closed his mouth and shook his head when he recovered.Emilia's query was answered and I drew a crooked smirk on the side of my lips. So, it's true. His reaction confirmed that I am indeed his mate. Therefore, why does it appear that he has no intention of informing me of such an important event? Why is he keeping it hidden?I slid off the table and as soon as I was in front of him—almost straddling him because there was only a small gap between me and the table—my hands landed firmly on both sides of my waist and I narrowed my stare at him."Well, don't you have something to explain to me, alpha?" in a solemn tone and a deep frown on my forehead, I demanded an explanation first, then prepared to request permission to return to Harrington afterward.Thanus let out a long, deep sigh, leaned back in his chair, and shook his head for the second tim
-TITANIA- "You have a match at eight o'clock, Titania; please be on time since the bettors tonight are big shots, and the prize for the winner could cover your debt to Mr. Wyatt!"After speaking with Mr. Sean, I turned off my mobile phone and laid down on the bed, arms widely extended on both sides of my face. I shook my head, snickering at the prospect of being unable to join the fight.First, when I was brought back to Spring Valley, I left my huge bike on Harrington, in the parking lot of the building that served as the site of the underground combat. Second, convincing my so-called 'kidnapper' to let me return to the city and fight again would be impossible. Obviously, he's not delighted that I've been smashing faces and kicking asses for five years.I sighed deeply, resting my left arm on top of my brow. I had saved half of the money that I needed to pay back to Thomas Wyatt. All I need to do now is provide the other half to finalize everything. However, Thanus Morgan appeared f
- TITANIA- Against my will, the alpha fucktard and his beta dragged me back to Spring Valley—to Dark Moon's packhouse. As soon as we stepped out of the car, a familiar woman marched out of the big structure to greet us.In an instant, my brow furrowed and I growled, "What the fuck are you doing here! Prepare to die, you insane witch!" I untangled my arm from Thanus and charged toward her, but the jerk grabbed my waist and held me back."Not so fast, sweetheart," he said as I strained in his firm grip."Let me go! I'm going to kill that wench!" I yelled, remembering how viscous she was. She set me up and made me appear pathetic."Luna Titania, calm down," Neru murmured as he approached the snorting bitch and kissed her pouting lips.Instantly, my forehead creased and my jaw dropped in shock. "What the hell?" I muttered almost in a whisper. "What the fuck is going on in here?"Neru scratched the back of his head and answered, "Emilia is my mate, Luna.""What?" in incredulity, I mumbled
-TITANIA-In the murky parking lot in front of the building where my fight took place, I caught sight of Thanus's tall structure while he was waiting near my big bike. It was just like when I initially met him. The asshat still resembled a magazine cover model. Almost everyone who walked by could catch a glimpse of his toned figure and intimidatingly beautiful physique.My brow creased and I snickered incredulously. 'Is he for real? After what happened a month ago, he still dares to face me. And what, after all, is a werewolf like him doing in Harrington? What exactly is he doing in the underground fighting arena earlier?"The jerk didn't even cheer for me," I murmured to myself, dissatisfied. I remembered him staring at me intently when I was fighting in the middle of the battle ring. He's offering a misleading indication of support, but he departed like the wind after the match without saying anything."He hasn't even apologized!"I'll never forget what he did that night in the cabi
-TITANIA- Devoid of emotion, I heaved a deep breath and stared blankly at the thick crimson-colored fabric in front of me.'So this is how it felt to be living dead, huh? I was breathing but not inside, not alive.' With a little sneer on my lips, I rapidly shoved the curtain that concealed me from the audience's gaze. I sauntered out and jogged straight to the combat ring as soon as the light was replaced by a strong spotlight.In an instant, hollers, curses, and shouts filled the entire hall. The crowd began yelling my name, denouncing it, and praising it, prompting me to take another big breath. I grew more involved in underground combat after returning to Harrington. Every freaking night, I smashed faces and kicked asses intending to cure myself, but it didn't work.Impassiveness increased.I slid inside the ring and removed my robes while staring at my opponent with an unreadable expression. He was incredibly massive, like a gorilla, which I thought was excellent because I was lo
A MONTH LATER..."Hurry up, mutt!" in a gruffed tone, Thanus barked at Neru. His beta moved like a snail and he didn't have enough tolerance to wait for him longer. Upon hearing his alpha's pissed voice, Neru rushed out of the packhouse and got inside Thanus's Tacoma at the speed of light. He wiped the sweat dribbling to the side of his face, exhaled slowly, and muttered in a frustrated voice, "Emilia is throwing tantrums again. I don't know what to do with her anymore, alpha."Thanus only sent him a regaled glimpse before he drove off to the road leading to the city.It was such a twist of faith. Who would have thought the second-in-command and Emilia are mates?It had been a month since Titania left the Dark Moon. Time flew fast and Thanus didn't even notice it for he made himself occupied dealing with problems in his pack. It helped him a lot avoiding a life of regrets."Have you proposed to her?" Thanus mentally shook his head before his thoughts deepened and asked Neru about hi
