Tyler POV I couldn't express how happy I was to have Theda behind bars. I had actually asked Lena to go and piss her off and she fell for my trap. Not being able to hurt her the past week left me destabilized after I had faced days of torment from my wolf. It was unbearable but I survived. I think I need to focus more on controlling my wolf. I will never let Tyson control me. Standing by the window of my office, enjoying the pleasant night breeze and having some whiskey, I was taken aback as the door was forcefully pushed open. I turned with knitted brows to see Blake stomp into the office with a displeasing look plastered on his face. "What the heck!" I growled, dropping my glass. "Why barge in like that?" "Why have Theda locked in the cell, Tyler?" He curtly asked, meeting my fierceness head-on. "You have no right to question me." "This is wrong!" He held his hand to slam the desk but stopped himself and threw his hand into the air in pure fury. "You shouldn't be treating her
Theda POV I couldn't believe the words that had just come out of the alpha's mouth. How could my father be responsible for his father's death? I found myself frozen in a state of shock as Alpha Tyler abruptly appeared before me, his sudden presence and forceful action catching me off guard. Startled by the sound and impact of his hand slamming above my head, I instinctively recoiled, my heart racing with a mix of fear and confusion. Thoughts raced through my mind in a whirlwind of disbelief. This is a lie. I was desperately clinging to the hope that there had been some misunderstanding. There's absolutely no way my father could have attacked his pack and killed his father. My eyes widened, reflecting the tumultuous emotions swirling within me. As the weight of the accusation sank in, destabilizing my being, I mustered the courage to speak, my voice quivering slightly, yet filled with determination. Despite the piercing and emotionless gaze of the alpha, I felt compelled
Theda POV Recognizing the shock on their faces, my heart swelled with a mix of joy and bittersweet emotion. It had been over four long months since I last saw them, and the separation had taken its toll. The weight of the time apart suddenly hit me, and I couldn't stop the tears from welling up in my eyes. Without hesitation, I sprinted towards them, closing the remaining distance with lightning speed. With my arms outstretched, I enveloped them in a tight embrace, my mother and brother returning the gesture. The warmth of their bodies and the sound of their beating hearts reassured me that they were safe and together once again. My eyes caught a glimpse of the vase my brother, Axel was holding behind and I stopped myself from laughing, knowing that he was ready to attack whoever it was that had entered the room if it wasn't me. At least he had become mature, and I'm certain he must have been defending and protecting our mother in my absence from my evil stepfather's hands.
Theda POV My face suddenly contorted with a mix of disgust and anger as I fixed my gaze on my evil stepfather, Alpha Julian, who made his way into the room accompanied by his two Gamma followers. The sight of him sent shivers down my spine, reminding me of the detestable acts he had committed, including the murder of my father. As he entered with a smug smile on his face, Julian spoke with a taunting tone, insinuating that Theda was the intruder. "I wondered who else could dare to intrude into my pack. It was you."The audacity of his words only fueled my rage and determination to stand my ground. With unwavering confidence, I boldly asserted, "This pack still belongs to me. This is still my pack, Julian." Julian's smile grew wider, revealing his true nature and the sadistic pleasure he derived from tormenting others, especially me. I couldn't help but recall the numerous instances of abuse and cruelty I had endured at his hands in the past. The memories only strengthened my res
Tyler POV Seeing the astonishment in Theda's eyes was what satiated my anger a little. I can't believe the nonsense she's saying."A- Alpha Ty- Tyler… ah."I tightened my grip as she uttered my name in a mumble, forcing her to let out a shriek. She reached out slowly and held my hand which was around her jaw, as if trying to relay something to me with her eyes which were becoming teary. The fear of breaking her jawbone forcefully crept into my heart which I had chained and I couldn't stop myself from letting go of her as a drop of tears rolled down her cheeks. I turned my back to her, returning my eyes' color to its normal color."Alpha Tyler, you need to believe me, please.""Be quiet and leave," I ordered but she annoyed me the most by restating her claim."My father is innocent."I spun and grabbed her shoulders as I yelled at her face. "Your father is a killer and it would be tough for you if you stop trying to prove him innocent or you would face my wrath.""Okay then. I am n
Theda POV I found myself becoming increasingly drawn to the Alpha's proximity. As he leaned in, I could hear the rhythm of his heartbeat, a steady and comforting sound that resonated through me. Despite my efforts to suppress my trembling, I couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement building within me. Just as I felt myself becoming lost in the moment, the Alpha released a soft breath, causing me to tremble even more. The sensation traveled through my body, intensifying my anticipation. And then, unexpectedly, he brushed his lips against my ear, his warm breath sending shivers down my spine. In a hushed voice, he whispered words that sent a chill through my entire being."It will be my pleasure," he said, his tone cold and devoid of emotion. "And slowly, by slowly, I will leave you lifeless before me someday." The alpha's words pierced through my reverie, jolting me back to reality. The fantasy I had woven in my mind shattered, replaced by a sudden awareness of the danger I mi
Theda POV My astonishment mingled with disbelief as I grappled with the realization that the alpha, the man who had once loved me intensely, now sought to witness my fight for survival. It was a cruel twist of fate that shattered my previous perception of our relationship, leaving me questioning how things had come to this. My thoughts were abruptly interrupted as the Gammas forcefully made me kneel, their grip firm and unyielding. They swiftly blindfolded me, robbing me of my vision and plunging me into a world of darkness and uncertainty. With my sight taken away, my other senses heightened, and my heart pounded in my chest, a deafening drumbeat of anticipation. I took a deep breath, steeling myself for the impending trial, unsure of what lay ahead but resolved to fight with every ounce of my being to survive. My survival mantra -'I can't die till my mother and brother are in good hands', kept ringing in my head. Seemed like a minute later, the piercing sound of the alarm
Tyler POV As I returned to my office, my usually confident demeanor was replaced with a deep frown etched across my face. I was gnashing my teeth in fury. I had just settled down in my comfortable leather chair, contemplating my aunt's involvement and the abrupt end of my sadism, when the door swung open and she stepped inside. Her presence alone commanded attention, and I could not help but feel a tinge of annoyance at her interruption. Just as I was about to wonder why she had decided to intervene and intercede for Theda, saving her from the remaining torments I had meticulously planned, she cut straight to the chase."Why have you drastically changed, Tyler?" she asked, her voice filled with concern and a touch of disappointment. "First, you denounced Theda from being your Luna, then you disregarded her, and now you are torturing her. What has she done wrong?" A mix of surprise and irritation flickered across my face as I locked eyes with her. I was not accustomed to being qu
