THERON'S POV

I pulled up in front of the porch that led to Gamma Darrell's house. A weird emotion tightened around my chest as I took in the features of the terrace house.

It's been a while I came here. Since I took over as the pack Alpha. I wasn't expecting to feel a surge of exhilaration. But the distant feeling associated with my childhood held deep sentiments that were a bit foreign to me.

Vuk stirred inside me, ‘C’mon man. You don't have to show the world your weakness and you know this,’

My shoulders bunched at his statement. Darell was the only family I had…the only I knew. After the drastic situation with my father, which made me banish my mother from the pack.

Anger settled in the deepest part of my bones. I hated—no, loath to ponder on the ugly incident, time and time again. It didn't go well that I sulked over something that shallow.

Vuk grunted, clearly not sharing the same thought with me. Albeit, he didn't utter a single word. I tightened my fist around the steering

    THERON'S POV The next couple of days went by in a blur. Riona wasn't recuperating like I'd expected her. Her injuries were still vivid, and the only thing I'd come close to doing, was suppressing her heat period. Vuk snickered. ‘How long do you think the portion would restrict her for?’ The tone of his voice was a tease. My jaw clenched. ‘Vuk. I'm not in the mood for this, not today…’ I dismissed his assertion, before I pushed the door leading to her room open.My gaze landed on the bed first, and a jolt passed through my heart when her scent wafted into my nose. I stepped further into the room, and there she was curled on the sofa. I cleared my throat, and she tipped her head sideways to face me. “I’m here with your medicine,” My tone was neutral. Riona pushed herself up from the chair, her steps were slightly staggered. She rounded the sofa and covered the distance between us. I stretched my arms and handed the medicine to her. Her face squeezed into a tight frown when she bro

    Riona’s POV My heart pulsated violently against my ribcage. How’d he come to find out in the first place? Elara stirred with apprehension. This was a delicate situation for the both of us. Yet, the ease with how he spoke the words soothed a delicate part of my insides, I didn’t know needed it. An impish smile curled the corner of his lips, before it withered. “Riona, you let your pack members talk them on you, in your identity even though you were innocent—”I cut him off with a cough. This was like the elephant in the room I was trying to avoid. First, he knew about Elara. And now, he was probing me about my pack? A nightmare I’d rather not speak about? Fragments of memories from my childhood flashed before me, squeezing out oxygen from my lungs. “Why didn’t you ever fight for her?” He quipped, his voice unusually gentle. From the way he tilted his head slightly, I could instantly tell he was talking about Elara. A lump gathered around my throat. I swallowed to push it down, but

    RIONA'S POV I braided my fingers through my hair, unsure of the best response to give. The incident happened a few years back, and I was the only one at the scene. “I don't think so,” “I know so,” Theron said, his voice low and throaty. He rested his weight against the cushion opposite me, “Hurting Luna Stacy isn't something you'd do,” I shrugged weakly. “Well, my entire pack thinks I'm responsible—” “I'm not a part of your pack, and I really don't want to be a part,” he paused, holding my gaze, “I believe you,” My head pounded violently. Alpha Theron's words spun around my head, and rested on my skin. Leaving a wave of goosebumps in its wake. He groaned. “I’ll be in my quarters, you still need to rest for a few days,” I nodded. I lifted his chin, and his smoldering look melted a delicate nerve in my heart. I racked my head for the right emotion, but it was foreign, nothing like I've ever felt. I watched his intimidating physique disappear behind the thick oak door. Elara clam

    THERON'S POV Riona's face flushed bright red as I dressed the wounds. She groaned at the slightest brush of my hands over her skin. Her eyes dilated, and I could feel her gaze on me, when I wasn't watching. Still, her scent scrambled with my train of thoughts. It took me every bit of willpower to keep my focus in place. From the way she curled, and uncurled her fist, I could instantly tell Riona was on the verge of having a fever. Her palms were ice cold, and sleek with sweat. She drew in deep breaths, and let them out in a ragged motion. The nape of her neck, pale white and delicate. As if it was beckoning to me to dig my fangs against it. I swallowed past the bile that gathered around my throat, focusing my gaze on her wounds. Guilt stabbed me with jagged blades. All the while, Riona had been subjected to severe treatment. Heck! I was a total asshole to her. Vuk gnashed its teeth at me, resurfacing. ‘Theron! For crying out loud! Do I need to spell everything out for you?’ He s

    THERON'S POV My reflexes kicked into action, my blood pumping with exhilaration. I grabbed her before she fell to the cold tiles. Her teeth grinded against each other. Riona let out a groan, as I lifted her in my arms and placed her gently on the bed. I tucked her under the thick comforter, and watched her closely. My wolf growled inside of me, seething with feral dominance. Vuk was slowly slipping out of control. And it was only a matter of time before he broke free from the torture of not marking his mate. She winced, stirring on the bed. I inched closer to her, and held her by the shoulders. She clung onto my arms instinctively, and her breathing slowly returned to normal. I couldn't let her alone in this state. It could result in a nasty situation. And by the goddess, I would drown in the abyss of guilt, if she hurts herself. I stood by her bedside, watching her. The clock ticked, and hours passed, leaving the sky misty with blue and orange streaks— an indication of sunset.

My heart thumped violently against my ribcage, as I tried to wriggle out of his grip. I held my breath, close to the brink of freedom when he pulled me right back into his bosom. Gosh! How did I end up on the same bed with Alpha Theron? Snippets of last night cake flooding in, and my head was full as if it was going to explode. I wiped a frustrated hand over my forehead carefully, so I wouldn't wake him from his sleep. Slowly, I lifted his hands and carefully placed them against him. Phew! I heaved a sigh of relief, as I skitted to the edge of the bed. A strange sensation clouded me, as I swallowed the lump in my throat. It fizzled out, leaving my body feeling light. Almost like my bones couldn't carry me much longer. Alpha Theron splashed fast asleep on my bed like a dream. The slow rise and fall of the perfectly honed muscles on his chest. His lash fringed over h

    THERON'S POV I held her in place, her eyes tightly shut as she groaned. My words had triggered something in her past. I had a lot of unanswered questions, I was dying to unravel.Suddenly, her muscles eased and she slipped into the peaceful oblivion of sleep. Minutes passed, and I mindlinked Gamma Vincent. ‘Yes Sir,’ He answered the minute he connected to the mindlink. ‘I need two of Silverfang’s finest warriors to come stand guard here.’ ‘They’ll be there in no time. And I was able to lay my hands on what you requested.’ Vincent said and zoned out of the mindlink. There was no need to prove further with questions. He knew I'd spent the last couple of days straddled by her side. And for some goddamn reason, I was going to do that over and over again. My jaw clenched. My mind raced back to the last part of his statement, leaving a wake of curiosity buried in my bones. Vuk snickered, ‘Someone is finally warming up to his mate. Isn't he?’ His sarcasm poked at my ego. My face turn

    RIONA'S POV I stared blankly at my plate of breakfast. The aroma from the peppered sausage filled my nose, and my stomach rumbled in response. My mouth salivated with an urgent need to devour the meal in front of me. “You could always have another round if you want,” Alpha Theron said from across the table. His intense eyes take in every movement. I gave him a stiff shrug. A thousand words floated around me, and rested at the tip of my tongue. “Thanks,” Was all I could bring myself to say. He reached for his cup of coffee, and took a sip. I took one bite at the sausage, and the spicy taste filled my mouth. I can't remember the last time I had something this nice. I didn't need to lock gaze with him to know his eyes were burning deep holes in my head. My hand shot out to reach for the bowl of grapes, at the same time his hands landed on them. I stilled as his cold calloused hand brushed against mine. It was then I shifted my gaze to meet his. There was something about the way he

It's been a few weeks since I came to the Silverfang pack. My injuries had healed completely. And, my wolf Elara was more than stable, strong even. Alpha Theron had lessen my home imprisonment. Now, I could take long walks through the pack. Whilst fighting Elara from coming to the surface. “We should go outside ma'am,” the man said in a polite tone. I gave him a wary smile. “Oh yeah. We totally should,” I paused. My heart heavy with unspoken words. He led the way, as we passed through Alpha Theron's chambers. I strained my ears, hoping to pick the strangest sound. But the thick aluminum door, muffled out the voice. I'd picked the scent of the Beta from my pack. My mind raced with a thousand questions. What does he want? Why was he here in the first place. My throat itched with an urgent need to query the warrior, bu

    THERON'S POVI stomped to my car and drove off, my clutch, hard on the gas. Waves of embarrassment gilded through my veins, as I made my way back to the condo. Fuck all of these! I had another game to prepare for. After my team lost to Carlos school in the last game, I’d hated myself these past week. The incident that happened at the victim's ward made it worse.No. I wasn't mad that I had to pay one of the enforcers a visit. For what it's worth, she was injured while trying to protect the legacy of the school. My anger was directed to Roman. He lived life on his own terms and was selfish while at it. If he had a tinge of decency, perhaps we wouldn't have to go through this. The victim's guardian had all the right to decline our entry. I slowed down and brought the car to a halt in the garage, scrambled out when either of my brother's pulled up right behind me. Sparing whoever it was no glance, I made a beeline for the entrance of the door. I was going to be fine. My wolf was fumi

    THERON'S POV “Are you going to remain standing with your back turned to face me?” Father's voice seethed with pain. My lips pursed. “Why'd you do it?” I questioned, ignoring his request. “Do what?” I turned to face him, my eyes narrowed with fury. “You know exactly what I'm talking about.” “You were there, you saw his everything played out—”“Stop with the pretense, father! If you didn't give them your approval they wouldn't go ahead with it in the first place,” the veins in my hand budged with each word I spoke. He removed his glasses, and placed them on the hard glass table. “Rylan, the people of Oakville pack, can't trust their life and security in the hands of someone who is fleeting.” “I am not a fleeting Lycan King—”“Then quit your hockey career, and face something more reasonably for once. What has come over you?” He asked. “We went with the best option for our pack, deal with it.” I scoffed. “So I'm not good enough?” “You have to prove it.” His tone was emotionless.

    THERON'S POV “Your father would send for you shortly,” one of the gammas said, the minute he sighted me a few blocks away from the King's in-house council chambers.It was a place where the King met with other pack Alphas, and even the pack elders. Before I left, I made sure the Chefs and the other gammas that attended to me, ensured Amara came down for lunch. Still, a foreboding prickled the nerves in my body. I gave him a nod, and stood by the side of the door. The man walked into the council chambers, and came out a few minutes later, “You can go in now, Sir. Sorry for the inconveniences.” He held the door open till I stepped into the room. “Look who came to grace our presence today,” A familiar masculine tone chipped, as I sauntered further into the room. My eyes hovered all over the room, and landed on Zain who had a tough time masking the scorn that threatened to break out on his features. It was a funny sight to behold. Still, I held myself together. I wasn't about to make

    THERON'S POV I was a jerk. A total jerk for first being a bully to my fated now. And even worse one for kissing her, at her vulnerable state. Fuck me for that. But, the streak of guilt fizzled out just before it had the opportunity to blossom. At first, she'd been out of breath, but I couldn't let myself get away from her. Some minutes later, I dragged my lips away from her, much to my chagrin. Something wweird blossomed in my chest, in a way that appealed a nerve in me, I thought no one could ever reach. The bottom of Ella's lips trembled, her chest heaved up and down like she wasn't used to this. I reached for her hair, sleek with sweat and tugged it behind her ears. Her cheeks were flushed. “I'm—” my voice faltered mid-sentence, when I figured I would mess everything up if I said I didn't feel bad for kissing her. My wolf stirred inside of me, excited and giddy. The mate bond might be broken, but he still wanted her. No, he needed her and he needed her badly. Ella snapped he

    RIONA'S POV The walk out of the pack, to the garage was nerve-wracking. My chest churned with a thousand splinting thoughts. For goodness sake! How did I miss it? How come my so-called Volana wolf didn't sense there was something wrong. I stirred on the seat, trying to reach out to her, to feel her presence. But she'd secluded herself in the deepest place of my mind. My lips straightened into a thin line. My eyes were swollen from the sting of tears that had flooded down my cheeks. My world was gone. I bunched, snapping back to real life when I felt a hand curl around my shoulder. I snapped my head to the side, and my eyes fell directly on Christopher's eyes. Those magnetic eyes held a thousand words that he was willing to let out of his mouth. Without saying a word, he nudged me into the car. I stiffened at first, a tad bit reluctant to go into the car. If I did, that would mean depriving myself of the closure from my mom's death. I opened my mouth to speak, instead tears rushed

    THERON'S POV Anger simmered in my veins, as I waited for her in my office. First, I harbour her in and hold myself back from acting on my emotions. And now what? She calls the shot? I tapped my fingers angrily against the table. My eyes fixed solely on the wall clock as it ticked. Two more minutes. Two more minutes, until I lose it all on her. Suddenly, a shrill knock sounded against the door. I stiffened on my chair, and rested my back against the headrest. I waited. The door pushed open, and she walked in. I rubbed my hand against the bridge of my nose. Her sensual scent ripped through my core, leaving a whirlwind of tornadoes swirling through my core. My hands curled into a fist. “Where have you been?” My words were calm, if her gaze wasn't boring a deep hole in my chest, she might miss the outburst that was about to erupt. No response. I stomped my hands against the table, rounded it and walked up to her. “I just asked you a goddamn question!” My tone seethed with defiance.

    RIONA'S POV The minute he pushed the door open, I clamped my eyes shut. My eyes were devoid of sleep. His presence awakened a delicate nerve in me I didn't know needed awakening. All my life, I'd been living in a facade of what I thought was mine. My mother had died during my birth. And nobody talked about her true identity. The Silver Moon pack was known for their incredible strength. It was a rare abilities that could only be possessed by them. And now? My birth mother was a part of that clan. What more didn't I know about myself? Shifting into my wolf form as thirteen was enough strange occurrence. But this was nothing like I'd envisioned. In school, we were taught sparsely about them. I’d been so enthralled about their very existence. Their show of strength. Still, I bet I didn't prepare myself enough for this odd plot twist. My intestines churned, and bile sloshed in my stomach. That meant…Suddenly, my entire insides froze, and my thoughts jumbled up. I felt Alpha Theron's

    THERON'S POV Riona's eyebrows furrowed into a deep frown. “Wh-wh-what—” she stuttered as her voice trailed off. I pulled at a strand of her hair, and she shoved my hands aside. I grunted in sheer disapproval. If there was something I loathed, that would be blatant protest. Especially from a female that was at loss for her own identity. Anger ripped through my spine. I was equal parts infuriated, and equal parts fascinated. Fascinated at her courage to sneak into my study unnoticed. How'd she bypass the warriors to start with? How'd she get her hands on the journal? Did she have someone telling her about her identity? So many questions rummaged through me. I swear by the moon goddess, I was going to find the culprit if there was anyone feeding her some sensitive information. “Can I go now?” She spat, when she finally found her tongue. Surprise flickered through my core, but I pushed it to the farthest back of my mind, and locked it off. “Riona, you have no say in this pack house—
