Tyler POV I was in my room thinking about the party that would start about three hours from now, and I was ready for it. I didn't know what was going on and what would happen, but something told me that the Alpha King would not just call for a banquet. Something was telling me that it was not right, and my instincts seemed to be flowing in the depths of basicity. Blake walked into the room, handing over to me the expensive suit he had specially prepared for me and was smiling. "That kind of smile running across your lips tells me that you're ready for a mate tonight," I teased. "Well, this is not a Blood Moon or the fucking gathering that we attend every year. This is a special banquet to celebrate the Alpha King and his so-called son." "You can find your mate anywhere, you know. I've heard of people who found their mates where they never expected it. It's an opportunity to find the other you, the half of yourself, and you have to grab it." "Well, enough of the lecture. Whet
Tyler POV The bitch was obviously planning on terminating Theda. No way! "Adriana!" I growled, startling her. She looked up at me with shock. Adriana's hands slipped off her grips and she quickly took them and was about to pull Theda into the vault but I rushed to her. I sent her flying down to a corner of the room as I ferociously gave her a backhand slap. I glanced at her as she coughed out blood before closing the vault and lifting Theda up. She was unconscious. Oh, my world. I never thought Adriana could be this malevolent. She had gotten Theda unconscious and brought her to this room. The vault - 'Souls Dungeon' is a chilling and foreboding vault, tucked away at the rear of the room. Despite its relatively small size, measuring nearly half the dimensions of the room, its ominous presence casts a dark shadow over the entire room. Just as the name implies, it is a place where the essence of life and vitality is mercilessly drained away, leaving behind only emptiness and de
Tyler POVFirst, I should ask how she's doing. "Theda, are you okay?" She nodded and struggled to sit up until I helped her. When she looked around, astonishment showed On her face and I could tell she was wondering where she was."You're in my room," I informed her, almost in a light whisper.She nodded and touching the back of her head, she winched. I had to know what had gotten her unconscious."Theda, who made you unconscious?""I don't know. I was in the room when I sensed someone's presence, I was about to turn around and see who it was before I got stricken.""You didn't see the person's face?" Blake asked. I could sense the curiousness in his voice.Theda shook her head and looked away as if recalling something or trying to remember something."I only know it was a female. Through the haze, I had vaguely made out the figure of a girl. I'm not sure who it was."I gave Blake a stare and he understood what I was trying to say to him."I know, I guess it's Adriana," he mindlinke
Theda POV Seeing Alpha Prince Caddel wasn't what I would term as good luck. It was a pure omen. If I hadn't gotten too overwhelmed earlier, I would have thought it well to ask Alpha Tyler if the Alpha Princes would be present at the party.Earlier I was lost when he was approaching us and filling my eyes with the environment.My excitement Instantly vanished when I caught his gaze. I felt suddenly uncomfortable.Who wouldn't be?The Alpha prince, Caddel, was the monster who almost bought me and he was in front of me. It gave me creeps the way he stared at me. His sly eyes proved his foxy nature. I didn't know what made me do it but I clenched my fist when he kept on smiling. I wanted to punch him right in the face and say- 'Take your rotten eyes off me.'When he called out to me in a sort of lascivious manner, I was forced to gulp and I sought confidence by tightening my wrapped arm around the alpha's arm.I didn't bother to look up to see his reaction."You must be Theda, right?" H
Theda POVWas I going to be resold to this beasty Alpha prince? Watching the calmness in the alpha's eyes, I felt so and that caused my heart to start racing. I had no idea of what was going to come next.The suspense was killing me slowly as I watched both of them stare at each other until things got intensified when Prince Caddel motioned to his brother.Prince Damien snapped his fingers and someone approached us. I guess he was one of the Betas.He held up a briefcase, opened it, and showed it to Alpha Tyler. My eyes grew a bit bigger as I saw the bundles of money stacked in it. "Alpha Tyler, that's a million dollars. I'm paying double to have her as mine.""She's not worth that," the Alpha uttered, and my eyes grew bigger as I stared at him.What did he mean? Wait, was he trying to portray that I don't worth a million dollars? Meaning I'm kind of worthless?'Don't drive into conclusion,' Tanya advised and I ogled at the Alpha Prince as he clapped his hands above his head."You're
Tyler POVWhat did I just say? My mate?I felt my heart pounding in my chest as the weight of my words settled upon him. Shock rippled through his veins, mingling with a mixture of disbelief and a bit of regret.Why did I say that?It was solely my wolf's fault. My fucking wolf always gets the better of me. Screw him.Earlier when Caddel was disregarding me, I just couldn't stand it. When he touched Theda, Tyson got pissed off and I fought my wolf for control, rage building inside me as I tried to tolerate the jerk of an Alpha prince. But when he had called Theda a wore, I didn't know why, I just reacted without thinking.I knew Tyson felt peace after I was done trashing him, but that didn't stop him from pushing further for control when the Alpha King pronounced that Theda was just a slave, causing me to utter she was my mate.Tyson is going to get a mouthful from me when I'm done with all this and…'Cut the crap, I just forced you to reveal a truth, driven by an undeniable, instin
Theda POVI stood in the hallway, my eyes fixed on the spot where Alpha Tyler had just vanished from view. A mix of emotions flooded me, leaving me feeling both exhilarated and uncertain. As I watched him disappear, my heart raced with excitement. Vaguely touching my face which the Alpha's hand had brushed against when he had gently tucked the loose strands of hair behind my ear, I smiled like a fool. It was a simple gesture but it had sent shivers down my spine and ignited a spark within me.At that moment, my wolf had awakened. My primal instincts surged through me, causing my cheeks to flush. I had tried my best to hide my reaction, not wanting to give away the effect the alpha had on me. But deep down, I felt an undeniable pull towards him, a connection that was both gladdening and terrifying.The elation I felt earlier was still fresh in my mind. The Alpha had pronounced that I was his mate, a proclamation that had left me breathless and sort of overwhelmed.As I retreated to my
Tyler POVI watched her keenly nod, not taking her gaze off me. As silence invaded once again, I could tell her mind was swirling with questions and emotions.When I left earlier to answer a call, I was surprised to find her in my room. I had dropped by the room to check up on her but stopped myself from knocking.Seeing Theda, I didn't mean to hurt her. I don't know why but I wasn't happy to see her looking so terrified when she first saw me.Now she has seen the picture of Selena, I don't wish to hide the truth from her. "She's Selena.""Selena?" She slowly looked away, as if recalling where she had heard the name from. I know someone must have blurted it in the Omega quarters."She was my Luna. And she's…dead."I watched her lips parted and her expression turned bleak. I could see the sorriness in her eyes."I apologize for intruding, Alpha Tyler," Tyler managed to say, her voice barely above a whisper. "I never meant to pry into your personal matters."I lowered my brows. I guess
