TYLA’S POV
“I, Tyla Niver, accept your rejection.” I said. I felt great pain as I accepted his rejection and it felt like the inside of me was about to be ripped apart. I looked at him and could see the shocked expression on his face and that could only mean that he wasn’t expecting me to accept the rejection. “Who do you think you are to accept my rejection???!!” he thundered in anger. “What would you have me do then??? You just insulted and rejected me and the right thing to do is to accept your rejection.” I said softly. “How dare y…” “Alpha Thane!!! Alpha Crane has been looking all over for you and he needs your attention as soon as possible.” Someone said as he interrupted my mate or rather my ex mate. From my guess, the person seemed like his aide or beta because I have never seen such a face in the park before. “As for you, do not think in that little head of yours that I am done with you….you will regret accepting my rejection.” Alpha Thane said as he walked away with his aide. The tears I've been holding back since the moment my mate rejected me started slipping down my face as I fell to the ground. I was all alone and didn’t have anyone to talk to or share my pain with and due to the fact that I wasn’t a shifter, I had no wolf. “What did I do to deserve this kind of pain moon goddess!!! Who exactly did I offend in my previous life to go through this??? Why did you bring me here only for me to go through this???!!!” I asked as I broke down in tears. After venting out and crying to my heart’s content, I stood up and walked back to the pack. As soon as I arrived, I was summoned to the pack house. At first I was reluctant to go because I had no idea what Alpha Crane wanted from me and the second reason was because I didn’t want to cross paths with Alpha Thane anymore. “Lyra, you know the consequences of disobeying the Alpha…he has sent for you twice and if he does the third time, it won’t be funny at all.” Ruthie, a fellow senior pack slave said to me. “I really do not want to go.” I said. “As if you have a choice…please do not get the rest of us into trouble because of your disobedience!!! If you don’t want to go, it’s fine…I will just go and inform the Alpha that you have refused to come so he won’t punish the rest of us.” she said as she was about to walk away. “Wait!!! I will go.” I didn’t really mention the fact that Ruthie, just like her name, was the ruthless one of all the pack slaves. She had no regard for anyone and she could get everyone in trouble just to save herself alone. “Good, now get going before he sends for you the third time.” she said as she walked away. I sighed deeply as I reluctantly walked into the pack house and when I got to the living room, I met Alpha Crane, Alpha Thane, his aide and a few pack elders seated. As I looked around, fear instantly gripped me because at that moment, it felt like I was summoned for something bad. “I sent for you twice, where were you???” Alpha Crane asked. “I…..I…w..wa…was….” “Speak properly!!!!” Alpha Crane thundered. “I…I… wasn’t available, Alpha.” I said with my head bowed. “You weren’t available??? So I have become so small before you that you have the audacity to tell me about your unavailability after I sent for you twice???” “Not at all Alpha…I swear by the moon goddess that I wasn’t available.” Suddenly, Christina walked into the living room and after greeting everyone, she went to Alpha Crane and whispered something into his ears and immediately, I had a gut feeling that she was going to get me into trouble. “Thank you, you may leave my presence.” Alpha Crane said. Christina bowed her head, looked at me with a smirk on her face and walked away. “Asides from your dirty act of disobedience, you have now added lying to it??” Alpha Crane asked as he glared at me. “I don’t understand you Alpha.” He suddenly stood up from his seat and walked closer to me and because I was extremely scared, I walked backwards slowly. “If you move an inch backwards again, I will see to it that your head is severed and thrown into the woods.” Alpha Crane threatened as I stood still almost immediately. While all of these were happening, my mate had a smirk on his face as he watched quietly. “You dare open your mouth and lie to me in the presence of my visitors and my elders??” he said. “I…I…” Before I could even utter a word, Alpha Crane hit me so hard across my face that I fell to the ground. I could have sworn I heard someone growl deeply but I assumed it was all in my imagination. “Stand up!!!!” Alpha Crane yelled. I tried standing up from the ground but I was too weak to stand due to the fact that I hadn’t eaten any proper meals for days. Hitting me that hard only activated my symptoms and my body already started giving way. After much struggling, I stood up but before I could regain myself, Alpha Crane hit me again across the face harder this time around as I fell to the ground the second time. I could suddenly taste my own blood from my lips as my vision became blurry. My mind was hazy and my body shook violently as I remained on the ground. “Is she dead???” “Leave her alone!!” “Who are you to tell me what to do???” Those were the faint noises I could hear from around me but I was too weak to figure it out and after a while, I completely welcomed darkness.TYLA’S POVI squinted my eyes open as a bright reflection flashed in.“She is finally awake.” A voice said.“Am I dead??” I asked as I looked around in confusion, not being able to recognize where I was.“No dear, you aren’t dead.”“Then where am I and who are you??” I asked.“You are currently at the Pack Clinic and you have been unconscious for a few days now.”“Pack Clinic??? Since when did the pack Clinic change??” I asked as I looked around in confusion.I knew our Pack Clinic so well that if I was asked to describe it from a deep slumber, I could but this one was looking completely different.“Oh dear, you aren’t in your previous pack anymore.” The lady said.“What??? How?? I don’t understand what you mean ma’am….Which pack am I in then???” “You are in the Tiger Wood blood pack.” she said.I suddenly burst into laughter as I assumed she must be trying to play pranks on me.How could I be at the pack of the one who rejected me as his mate and how could I also have gotten here.“
THANE’S POVAs soon as Alpha Crane hit Tyla across her face the first time, I growled deeply in anger as my wolf threatened to come out.I know I rejected her as my mate but for some weird reasons, I still felt possessive over her and so when he hit her the second time and she fell to the ground unconscious with blood slipping out of her mouth, I lost it.“Is she dead??” One of the elders seated in the living room said.“ leave her alone!!!” I yelled in anger as I walked towards her.“Who are you to tell me what to do???” Alpha Crane asked.I almost told everyone that Tyla was my mate but the fact that I rejected her stopped me from doing so and besides, she was only a pack slave and wasn't worth anything.“Take mate out of here.” My wolf said.“I don't fucking want her around me.” I responded to him.“If you leave her here, she will die.” He said again.As much as I didn't want to agree with my wolf, he was right.I looked at Tyla lying on the floor looking so frail and also looking
THANE'S POV“I, Alpha Thane of the Tiger wood blood pack, take back my rejection.” I said.As soon as I took back my rejection, I noticed something strange started happening.I suddenly started hearing the cracking of Bones and when I looked closely, I noticed that she was starting to shift.“But how, the first time I saw her, I could swear that she was not a shifter but how come she is shifting now??” I asked myself in confusion.“Mate is unique…she is not as weak as you thought.” my wolf said.“The fact that she is shifting doesn't change my mindset on the fact that she is still a weakling.” I said.I gently placed her back down on the ground as I observed what would happen next.Her body suddenly began to twist, her limbs elongating and her muscles rippling beneath her skin.Her clothes suddenly got torn and ripped, unable to contain her wolf from emerging.In a matter of moments, a towering werewolf emerged with silver furs that glowed like embers.It's chest heaved, it's fur fluf
THANE'S POV“No one Mother, I just had a few things to sort out and I was saying them out loud to myself.” I said.“Alright, there is an important Matter I want to discuss with you son.”“Can it wait??? I have something important I want to tend to right now.” I said.“No, it can't wait…we need to talk about it now.” My Mother insisted.“Alright, do you want us to talk in my room or in the living room??.”“Let's talk in your room, remember the walls of this pack house have ears.”“Alright then, let’s go talk in my room.” I said as my Mother and I walked back to my room.As soon as we entered, I locked the door from within to prevent anyone from barging in, especially my brother.“What is so serious that you want to talk about in private, Mother??? Hope all is fine?? Is there something troubling you??” I asked.“Yes, something is indeed troubling me son.”“What is it, Mother???”“Thane, haven’t you found your mate yet??” she asked.As soon as she asked that question, I suddenly started
TYLA’S POVI suddenly saw myself walking through a lonely and narrow path as I looked around in confusion.“Where am I?? Where is this place??” I asked myself as I walked further.“Tyla.” A voice called.“What?? Who is it?? Show yourself.” I yelled in fear as I looked around but found nobody in sight.“Tyla.” the voice called again, alleviating my fear this time around.“I said show yourself.” I said.“Do not be afraid, for I am not an enemy.” the voice said.“Then who are you?? And how do you know my name??” I asked in confusion.“I am a part of you dear.”“A part of me?? I don’t understand what you mean.” I said.“My name is Lyra and I am your wolf.”I suddenly burst into laughter.“Is something funny??” “If you had told me you were my mother, I would probably have believed you but for someone who has never shifted all her life and then suddenly had a wolf, I am sorry but I do not believe you.” I said.“How ignorant can you be Tyla???”“I am not ignorant Lyra or whatever you call y
TYLA'S POV“Tsk..tsk...tsk...Your beloved Alpha Crane sold you to me cheaply as a slave.” Thane said as his words kept on ringing in my ears.“What??? I was sold to you??”“What did you think little mate, that I came to that pack as your fairytale prince charming in shining armor to rescue you from the bad knights???” Thane asked with a smirk.“I know I wasn't special but selling me off was something I never expected from him.” I said in almost a whisper as tears gathered in my eyes.“Wake up to reality little mate!!! Nobody gives a fuck about you and especially when you mean nothing to them and that being said, I hope it is now clear to you the reason why you can't go back to your previous pack.”“I can't and won't accept it.” I said.“You don't have a choice Tyla Mira, now you are going to do everything I have asked you to do, am I clear??”“And what if I don't??”Thane moved closer to me as he moved his mouth close to my ears.“Remember the first time you tried escaping from this p
TYLA'S POV“Who the fuck are you???!!” the stranger asked.I looked on in both confusion and fear as I didn't know if I should just ignore and walk away or say something to him.After carefully observing his features, I realized that he was Thane's brother as his resemblance with Thane was unquestionable and the only difference in physical features between him and Thane is that Thane's eye colors were blue but his are green and Thane is a bit bigger than he is.“I said who the fuck are you??? Why would you barge into me that way???” He asked again.“I am so sorry…it wasn't on purpose as I was looking for someone.” I said.“Looking for someone??? Who are you little girl ??? I haven't seen your face around here before.” He said.“I am nobody…please can I be on my way now??” I said.“No!!! Answer my question immediately.”“But I have answered your question sir…I am a nobody and I am currently looking for someone..I promise not to cross paths with You again.” I said.I was about to walk a
THANE'S POVAfter leaving Tyla, I was confident with the look on her face that she perfectly understood my rules and she wouldn't do anything to cross me.I suddenly remembered I had a meeting with a few of the pack elders and so I asked my beta to inform them that I was ready to meet them.“Where is the meeting holding Alpha??” he asked.“What sort of absurd question is that, Rico?? Where does the meeting usually take place??” I asked in annoyance.“Remember you asked that I tell the elders to stop going to the pack hall for a meeting.”“Oh yes, I just remembered.”“Is anything bothering you?? I am asking as a friend and not your beta.”“Is it that obvious??” I asked.“Yeah, it is….what’s going on?? Is it about your mate??”“She is not my mate!!!!”“I thought you took back your rejection??? And that still makes her your mate .” “Be quiet Rico….someone can hear you.”“Relax Thane…there is no one around here aside from the both of us…”“That doesn’t mean you just open your mouth and s
TYLA'S POV “I want you to help me get some strands of hair from Aurelius and Emmy." I said.I patiently waited for Thane's response and then in a split second, he burst into laughter."Why are you laughing??”"You want me to get some strands of hair from the people I dislike the most?? Is this some kind of test because if it is I have already failed.” Thane said."Relax Thane…this is not a test…I really need the hair strands for something." “The moon goddess has given me a witch as a mate." Thane said as I playfully hit his arm.“That actually hurts you know." “Why would you call me a witch??" “How else would you explain your weird request??" I knew I couldn't tell Thane of my plans yet but at the same time, there was no way I could go through with it without the help of someone and Thane was the only one I could rely on to carry out the task.“Tyla, what are you doing??" Lyra bit out as I gasped in shock."Are you okay??” Thane asked."Yeah..I just remembered something.” I said
TYLA'S POVAfter the warning message I headed back to the pack to think carefully on what to do.It was already obvious that Thane wasn't Charlotte's Father and so it leaves me with Emmy and Aurelius which I definitely had no idea on how to take strands of their hair to conduct a DNA test.I got so lost in my thoughts that I had no idea when I arrived at the pack house and as I headed to Thane's room I heard noises coming from there.“I think I did something wrong.” I heard a voice say which sounded so much like Charlotte's.“What did you do??" Thane asked as I walked into the room.I was surprised to see Thane, Charlotte and his Mother as I looked at them with a confused expression on my face.“Mother, I didn't know you were here." I said."Yes, I needed to speak with Thane and he has told me everything…I mean every little detail of what is currently going on.”I didn't say anything as I bowed my head.“Tyla, if there was anyone around this pack who could have told me the truth, it w
WRITER'S POVThe hallway leading to Thane's room was oddly silent. He was still trying to process everything that had happened that day..the lies, the fake DNA report, the emotional whirlwind with Tyla and especially the pregnancy news of Bridget…All of it churned in his mind like a storm refusing to pass.As he reached the landing, a familiar figure leaned against his doorframe. Sherleen, his mother, arms folded and eyes stern but calm, was clearly waiting.“We need to talk.” she said without a greeting.Thane knew the matter was serious because he had just seen her a while ago and for her to come personally to his room, it was a serious matter.Thane nodded, swallowing the tightness in his throat. “Of course Mother, Come in.”He unlocked the door and held it open as Sherleen stepped inside. She waited in the center of the room while he closed the door behind them. He leaned against the edge of the bed, bracing himself.“What’s going on?” she asked plainly. “And don’t tell me i
TYLA'S POVAs I walked back to the pack house, I couldn't help but think about what Lilian had told me.As much as I hated Bridget for playing such a cruel game with me and Thane, I still couldn't help but feel pity on her because infertility was something that was pretty serious.“Hello, Tyla.” A voice said as I gasped in shock.I assumed it was someone maybe from the pack seeing as though I was already Luna and I could be mind linked by anyone in the pack.“Who is it??” I asked.“Has it been so long that you don't recognize the voice of your own wolf??”“Lyra???!!” I asked in amazement.“Hello to you too Tyla.”“Oh goodness!!! It's been so long and I have missed you!! You just went mute on me when I needed you the most and it isn't fair to be honest.” I said.“I didn't go mute on purpose..I told you what needed to be done to get me back but you didn't.” Lyra said.“It's not my fault Lyra..Thane was so unpredictable as at that time and I just couldn't do what you asked until I was su
BRIDGET'S POVAfter Thane and Tyla walked out of Sherleen's room, I turned to her with a sad look on my face.“Mother, all of this drama happening in the pack isn't good for me or my unborn child.” I said with a pretended sad look on my face.“I will handle everything…you just get some rest and tomorrow hand me the pregnancy results.” Sherleen said as I mentally rolled my eyes.“Thank you mother.”“Sleep well Mom.” Emmy said as we walked back into our room.As soon as I closed the door behind me, Emmy's voice hit me like a slap to the face."You lied to me, Bridget!" Emmy yelled as I flinched. He rarely ever raised his voice at me, but now his eyes were wild with fury. He paced the room like a caged animal, and I could feel the anger radiating off him in waves."Emmy, please." I started, walking toward him slowly. "You have to understand, I had no choice.""No choice?" he barked. "You told the Alpha and his mate that you were pregnant. Do you know what kind of chaos that could cau
TYLA'S POV Thane and I walked silently back to the pack. The weight of the day’s events sat heavily between us, neither of us quite ready to speak but I couldn’t keep quiet any longer. My thoughts were too loud, too painful, too confusing.I had an uneasy feeling in my stomach and I couldn't detect why because just when I think I know Bridget and have caught her in her own games, she suddenly moves around and does something else more shocking.“Thane…” I started softly, not even sure I wanted to hear the answer. “Do you think Bridget is really pregnant? Or is this just another part of her twisted plan to escape whatever punishment is coming for her?”Thane’s brows pulled together as he stopped walking. He didn’t answer right away. He looked ahead, jaw clenched tightly, like he was sifting through years of memories, searching for a truth even he wasn’t sure he wanted to find.“She’s always been like this.” he finally said. “From the moment she joined the pack as Emmy’s mate,she
WRITER'S POVThe tension in the air could have sliced through stone. Sherleen's expression was unreadable, but her narrowed eyes said enough. Thane stepped forward cautiously, his hand brushing Tyla's as if to reassure her."Mother," he said with a slight bow of his head. "You called for us?"Sherleen gave a curt nod. "We need to talk…All of us."Tyla exchanged a glance with Thane, her gut knotting tighter with each second."What is this about?" Thane asked, his voice careful, controlled.Bridget stepped forward, feigning a nervous expression. "We didn't mean to cause any trouble..we only came to ask what you both are going to do with the child.” she began, her tone soft and uncharacteristically meek.Tyla watched her with narrowed eyes. The same woman who brought an imposter as Thane's child.. The same woman whose every word now made her skin crawl."Is that why you are here?" Tyla asked coldly.Bridget hesitated for dramatic effect, glancing at Emmy, who stood beside her with
TYLA'S POVWarm steam rose from the water as Thane gently carried me into the bathroom. I leaned my head against his shoulder, still feeling the weight of everything that had happened…the lies, the child, the pain and the pleasure but something in his touch told me we were crossing into a new place now. One where truth mattered more than pride.He set me down softly into the bathtub, his arms still wrapped around me like he was afraid to let go.For a moment, we sat in silence, the water lapping quietly around us.Then, at the same time, we both said. “I have something I want to tell you.”We blinked at each other in surprise. I gave a small laugh and shook my head.“You first.” I said, brushing a wet strand of hair from my face.“No, you.” he insisted, his tone gentle but serious.I hesitated for a moment as my heart thudded in my chest. Would he believe me? Could we really trust each other after everything? I took a deep breath and stared into his eyes.“Alright, It’s about the
TYLA'S POVThane was the only person who has successfully confused the hell out of me.I couldn't think straight whenever I was with him and I couldn't understand how I could love and fear someone at the same time.“Because I want you too, Thane!!! Amidst my fears and uncertainties, I want you!!” I said.Everything I said was true because I did want Thane more than anyone and the fact that I choose him to the moon goddess's second chance mate she had given to me proves that what I felt was real.“Then say no more, Tyla.” Thane said as he kissed me.I wrapped my arms around his shoulders as I pulled him closer and kissed him back with the same intensity and desire he had kissed me.Thane held my legs around his waist as he shoved away everything on his study table and Continued assaulting my face with kisses.He kissed my lips, eyes, nose, forehead and he kept on saying I was enough for him.Suddenly I noticed his eyes switched colours and I knew his wolf was in full mood and without a
