Since his accident, he had not been current on news within and outside the packs, not to talk of the capital. The mere fact that diplomatic Theresa came to tell him about the news could only mean that it concerned him."What news?" he asked, his tone neutral, but his eyes betraying a hint of concern.Theresa's expression turned serious, her features etched with gravity. "Rumors of Axel's pack forming alliances with rival packs." The words dropped like a stone into a still pond, sending ripples of unease through Thane.Thane's grip on his wheelchair armrests tightened, his knuckles whitening as he struggled to maintain control. The mention of Axel's name still had the power to evoke strong emotions, a tangled web of pain, anger, and regret.River's hand brushed against his, a gentle reassurance that sent a spark of comfort through him. Her touch was a lifeline, anchoring him to the present.Theresa noticed the fleeting contact, her eyes shining with approval. "I knew you two would hit

"There have been instances where the mating was… influenced," Alpha Malcolm continued, his words dripping with caution.The admission hit Thane like a blow, his mind reeling with implications. Axel's manipulation, the pack's involvement – the possibilities swirled, threatening to consume him.Theresa's eyes locked onto Thane's, a silent apology etched on her face.River stepped forward, her presence a gentle reminder of her support. "Thane, what does this mean?" she asked, her voice soft.Thane's gaze never left his father's. "It means that everything I thought I knew was a lie," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.Alpha Malcolm's expression turned grave. "It is possible, Thane. The Moon Goddess's power can be influenced by those with sufficient magical prowess."River's eyes widened. "You mean someone could have forced the mating?"Alpha Malcolm nodded. "Yes. But it would require immense power and knowledge of ancient rituals."Thane's mind reeled. "Axel. She did not truly ch

Maid Bea brought entered with a jug of fresh water. She courtesied and left the room.Thane continued his train of thought, which sent a shiver down his spine. Thane's fists clenched, his nails biting into his palms. He felt abandoned, betrayed. The pain was a palpable thing, a living, breathing entity that writhed within him. His gaze fell, his eyes fixed on the darkness. The shadows seemed to twist and writhe, like living serpents. Thane's mind recoiled, horrified by the possibility that his feelings were not his own."Am I still under her spell?" he whispered, the words barely audible. The uncertainty was a poison, spreading through his veins like a slow-moving toxin.Thane's head dropped into his hands, his body racked by a silent, anguished cry. The darkness closed in, a suffocating shroud that threatened to consume him whole.Thane's thoughts turned inward, desperately seeking solace in the depths of his own mind. "Lunos," he called out, his inner wolf's name a whispered plea. T

“We need to get into the house where it’s safe.” River stood up immediately, helping Theresa up.“Why?” Theresa asked“Let’s just go inside. I’m suspecting we are being watched.” Theresa’s anger flared, testament to her red hair. “Who dare watch us in our own territory? They are using the opportunity of Thane’s condition, but I will not let them!”Just then, Alpha Malcolm stormed out of the pack house, his powerful strides devouring the distance. Theresa went to him, her demeanor same as the Alpha's raging fury. River also followed, not daring to be alone in the garden any longer.As they emerged into the bright sunlight, Alpha Malcolm's voice boomed across the courtyard, echoing off the stone walls. "Summon Captain Ryker! And get Beta Erik to my office, now!"The guards sprang into action, their faces set with determination. One hastened to the get the Beta, while another sprinted toward the warriors’ practice ground.Alpha Malcolm's eyes blazed with a fierce inner fire, his jaw cle

River's voice trembled like a leaf in an autumn gust, her words barely audible. "If I am wolfless…” River began, then paused and glared at Thane.“I did not choose to be wolfless, Thane." The hurt in her eyes was a palpable thing, a reflection of the anguish Thane couldn't shake.For an instant, Thane's glare faltered, his gaze dropping to his clenched fists. Shame and self-loathing flooded in, a dark tide that threatened to consume him. His shoulders sagged, the weight of his failures crushing.I know that you did not choose to be wolfless, but at least, you will be able to protect yourself if you have your wolf, when I can’t protect you from this chair. Thane thought in his heart.The wheelchair, a constant reminder of Axel's betrayal, of his own weakness. The cold metal and leather seemed to mock him, a prison he could not escape. Thane's mind recoiled from the memories, but they haunted him still.His gaze drifted back to River, her fragile strength a stark contrast to his own br
