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

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

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 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 Tied to a chair in the scorching sun, I felt the heat of the merciless rays burning my already-tanned skin. Beads of sweat trickled down my forehead as I observed the guards diligently preparing the necessary equipment for my impending shock punishment. My eyes narrowed with a mixture of defiance and apprehension, my heart pounding in my chest like a trapped bird desperately seeking escape. Just as despair threatened to consume me, Alpha Tyler emerged, his presence commanding the attention of everyone present. His cruel smile, a twisted reflection of his sadistic pleasure, sent shivers down my spine. The weight of his authority and the certainty of my impending suffering bore down upon me, but I refused to let fear consume me entirely. Still, my chest heaved with rapid breaths, my panting betraying my mounting anxiety. Sweat trickled down my temples, mingling with the dust and grime that were now clinging to my skin. As I struggled against my restraints, my eyes dart
