MasukFINAL CHAPTER (WRITER'S POV)The figure that slammed Tyla to the ground did not stay hidden for long.As the weight above her shifted, moonlight finally touched the face hovering over hers.And Tyla froze.“Thane…”But this was not the Thane she knew, at least not fully.His eyes were wrong.Completely dark, with only faint traces of their natural color struggling beneath something far more dangerous. His face looked twisted with pain, fury, and something unnatural as if two minds were fighting for control inside one body.His breathing came rough and uneven, almost animal-like.And when he spoke, his voice sounded broken.“Run…” he whispered, but even that single word sounded as though it was being dragged through pain.Tyla backed away immediately, her hands trembling against the ground.But before she could rise fully, Thane’s body jerked violently.Then his expression changed again…his lips curled back.The darkness in his eyes deepened.And when he lunged this time, there was no
TYLA'S POVThe first thing I felt when I opened my eyes was cold.A deep, biting cold that crept through my skin and settled into my bones.For a few seconds, I did not understand where I was.The ceiling above me was broken in places, with cracked wood hanging dangerously from old beams. Dust floated through the fading light, and the smell of old stone and damp earth filled the air.I blinked slowly.This was not my room.It was not Kyron’s room either.My heartbeat quickened immediately.I tried to sit up, but weakness dragged heavily through my body, forcing me to stop halfway.A sharp ache spread through my head then the memory came back.The scent.That strange scent in my room.The dizziness.The darkness.And then footsteps.I turned sharply toward the sound.Thane stepped out from the shadows as my breath caught instantly.His face was tense, his jaw hard, his eyes fixed entirely on me.For a moment, neither of us spoke.Then anger rushed through me so suddenly that it gave m
TYLA'S POVMy body still felt strange even after Kyron brought me back to the pack.It was as though every part of me belonged to someone else.My limbs were weak, my head heavy, and my heart still had not recovered from everything that had happened in the forest.The shift..the pain…the power and the fear.Most of all, the look on Thane’s face.I still remembered it clearly…the shock in his eyes, the disbelief, the way he had stared at me like he had never truly seen me before.And maybe he hadn’t.Because I had never seen that side of myself either.Kyron supported me carefully as we entered the pack house, his arm firm around my shoulders while his jacket remained wrapped tightly around my body.“Slowly,” he said quietly when my steps became uneven.“I can walk,” I murmured, though my voice sounded weaker than I wanted.“I know,” he replied gently. “But right now, let me help you.” he said as I didn’t argue.I was too tired to pretend strength I didn’t have.Instead of taking me t
THANE'S POVI had seen wolves shift hundreds of times in my life.It was nothing new to me.As Alpha, I had watched warriors transform before battles, watched pups experience their first shifts, and even witnessed brutal shifts fueled by rage.But nothing…absolutely nothing prepared me for what I was seeing now.Tyla,my mate, the woman I once rejected just shifted.My breath caught in my throat.“Moon Goddess…” Rico whispered beside me.I was too shocked to even ask how Rico got to where I was.I couldn't speak and I couldn’t move.This shift was different.Standing before us was the largest wolf I had ever seen in my life.Silver fur shimmered under the moonlight like liquid metal. Her body was powerful, sleek, and intimidating in a way that made even seasoned warriors instinctively step back.But it was her eyes that froze the blood in my veins.They glowed like molten silver.Wild, fierce and Untamed.I stared at her in complete shock.“That… that can’t be possible,” I muttered.T
THANE'S POV I was already angry before Rico opened his mouth.But when he did, it only made it worse.“She was almost Kyron’s mate!” I roared, pacing the length of my room like a trapped animal. My hands were trembling, my wolf restless under my skin. “Do you even understand what that means, Rico? I spent years looking for her. Years! And she was about to bind herself to him?”Rico stood by the window, arms folded across his chest. He didn’t look afraid of me…he rarely did.“She didn’t bind herself to him,” he said calmly. “It was discussed…that’s different.”“Different?” I snapped. “It’s the same thing! She had no right!”Rico’s eyes hardened. “No right? Thane… you rejected her.” He said as I stopped pacing.The words hit like a slap.“I had my reasons,” I muttered.“You sent her into exile,” Rico continued, his voice firm now. “You pushed her away.”My jaw tightened.“That was..”“That was your choice,” he cut in sharply. “Not hers.”I felt my anger spike higher. “I had no
TYLA’S POVI woke up with a sharp gasp with my chest rising and falling like I had been drowning and only just found air.The room was dim, lit only by the soft glow of moonlight filtering through the curtains. My head throbbed painfully, and my heart felt heavy, like something was sitting on it, crushing every breath I took.For a moment, I didn’t know where I was.Then the scent hit me…Kyron.I turned my head slowly and saw him sitting beside the bed, his large frame tense, his eyes fixed on my face like he had been watching me the entire time. Relief flickered across his face the moment our eyes met.“You’re awake,” he said quietly.My throat felt dry. “How long…?” I tried to ask, but my voice came out hoarse.“Not long,” Kyron replied. “You suddenly collapsed and the healer said you’d wake soon.”I swallowed and tried to sit up, but dizziness washed over me instantly. Kyron moved fast, placing a firm hand on my shoulder to steady me.“Easy,” he said. “Don’t rush.”I closed
THANE'S POV I honestly didn't have the time to think through my decision before implementing it.I just wanted to do everything within my power to get my mate back and although I know it would be difficult because at that point, I had no idea if Tyla would want to even accept me back but it was wo
TYLA'S POVI didn't need a seer to tell me that staying at this strange pack depended solely on smartness and survival skills and I planned on staying for the time being and so I found myself at the place where I was initially assigned a duty, the kitchen.I wiped my hands on the apron and stepped
TYLA'S POV The silence after my threat lingered like a mist in the air. The boy’s hand hovered mid-air, the plate of food slightly tilted as he contemplated whether to follow through with his tantrum or not. I saw his jaw tighten with storm clouds brewing in his silver eyes and yet, he didn’t th
BRIDGET'S POV As Emmy held my arm and pulled me out of Thane's study, I got more angry."You should have stayed out of it, Emmy!" I hissed as he continued pulling me out of Thane’s study, his grip firm but not painful. Still, it made my skin crawl."You were going to get yourself killed in there
