MasukTHANE’S POV
I quickened my pace as my climax hit me. “Yessss Thane!!!” the brunette moaned out. I removed myself from her and laid back on the bed as I tried to catch my breath. “That was so good Alpha….can we go again??” she asked as her hands moved around my body. I caught her hands before it could reach my torso and glared at her. “Get out.” I said. The smile on her face dropped suddenly as she looked at me with confusion. I was not one to get attached with women especially when I know they are just good f**ks and nothing more than that. “Why, what did I do wrong??” she asked. The kinds of people I hated the most were the dumb ones who couldn't assimilate simple statements. “Are you deaf??” I asked in irritation. “I am not..but.” “I said leave!!!!!” I thundered. She hurriedly got up from the bed, got dressed and left the room in a flash. I haven't been in a good mood for a few days now after hearing that some measly rogues killed some of my warriors some days ago. It was my sole goal to haunt them down and kill every F**king one of them. I got up from my bed as I entered the bathroom and freshened up and as soon as I came out, I heard a knock on the door. “What??” “I am sorry to disturb you Alpha but there is important information I need to share with you.” my beta said. “Come in.” He twisted the doorknob open as he walked in on my stalk naked. He nervously turned his face over to look in another direction which made me chuckle softly. “Why are you hiding your face??? Is there something you saw that you don’t have or haven’t seen before??” I asked. “No Alpha..apologies.” he said as he stood in front of me looking so uneasy. “What is the matter?? As you can see I am busy.” I said. “It’s regarding the rogue attack on the warriors….an Alpha has agreed to join hands with us so we could find the rogues and kill them.” “And who says I can’t do that by myself??” I asked as I raised my eyebrow. “No one Alpha…he sent a message that he heard about the news and suggested joining hands with this pack to take care of the rogues once and for all.” My beta said. “In other words, he is calling my pack incompetent??” “Not at all Alpha.” My blood boiled as I looked at my beta in rage. “He can shove his suggestion up his sorry ass.” I said as I dressed up. Going to another pack to join hands with them in alliance was an insult to my name. If I wanted help I would have sent for it but I can handle rogues myself without forming any alliance. “But Alpha, forming an alliance with Alpha Crane is going to yield something profitable for our pack….if I am speaking too much or out of line just stop me immediately Alpha.” My beta said. “Go on with what you were saying.” “Alpha Crane's pack is rumored to have a lot or resourceful materials...they don't have enough money but they have weapons and ancient materials..…if this pack can form an alliance with them, we are going to yield enough profits and as the saying goes, keep your friends close and enemies closer.” That was the first time my beta was making so much sense in his speech. I wanted more for my pack and even if it means me taking by force to grow mine, I would do it without a heartbeat. “Send words to them…I arrive at noon tomorrow.” I said. “Thank you Alpha…I'll do that right away.” Just as I promised, I set out to Alpha Crane's pack at noon the following day and I was not in the best of moods. And what made me even more pissed was the fact that the journey took more than two hours. “We are here Alpha.” My beta said. “This is the last time I will do this.” I said. As soon as we arrived at the pack and I was being taken to the pack house, a scent hit me. “Mate is close.” My wolf said. I excused myself as I followed through to where the scent was coming from. The scent led me into some kind of woods and I noticed there was someone sitting there. As soon as I saw her, my wolf went crazy with excitement. “Mate.” I said. I could sense the fear in her eyes as I stared at her. My eyes moved from her head down to her toes and I could sense that she was weak. Asides from being weak, she looked so frail and her skin pale and I didn't seem to sense her wolf which meant that she was a non shifter. I noticed some bruises In her body, both old and new. There was no way I, Alpha Thane could accept such a weakling as a mate. “You are such a weakling.” I said to her. I noticed she had a very blank expression on her face when I said those words. “Please don't reject me.” She said softy. “I need a Luna who is daring and fearless and not a weakling like you….if I accept you as my mate, you wouldn't even last a day in my pack.” I said as I chuckled. “Just allow me to go with you…I would do anything for you and if you want me to be your servant, I would do it within a heartbeat but please don't reject me…I would not find any other mate.” She said. If I add some kind of sympathy within me, I would have been touched by her words but I didn't have any in me. “What is your name??” I asked. “T…T..Tyla.” “I, Alpha Thane of the Tiger wood blood pack, reject you Tyla as my mate and Luna.” Suddenly, I felt a quick sharp pain in my chest as my wolf whimpered. I raised my head up high waiting for her plea for me to accept her back as I smiled. “I, Tyla Niver, accept your rejection.”BONUS CHAPTER:THE ECHO OF THANEThe wind had changed since that day as Tyla noticed it first in the mornings.The air in Kyron’s pack no longer carried the weight of panic or war.The wolves still trained, still ran patrols, still lived with discipline… but something softer had replaced the constant tension.Peace did not arrive loudly but it arrived in silence.Tyla stood at the edge of the training grounds, her hand resting lightly over her stomach again. It has become a habit now…quiet, protective, almost unconscious.Kyron watched her from a distance before walking over.“You’re thinking again,” he said gently as Tyla gave a faint smile. “I do that a lot now.”He stood beside her, following her gaze across the fields. “About him?”She didn’t ask who as there was only one him that silence ever belonged to.Tyla nodded once.“I don’t hate him…I thought I would… after everything.”Kyron didn’t interrupt.“But I don’t…. I just… remember him in pieces….Like he was never fully one p
FINAL 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
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 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
THANE'S POV Ever since my mother awoke from the antidote's effects, she hadn't spoken much to me. Her silence carried weight…a sharp, cold disapproval that pierced deeper than any words could. Every time she looked at me, I could see it in her eye disappointment, Disgust and perhaps most painful
TYLA'S POVI didn't scream.I didn't cry.Not even a tear rolled down my cheek as the healer softly muttered those terrible words."I’m sorry, Tyla... Your baby didn’t make it."The world around me blurred Her voice became an echo drowned out by the pounding of my own heartbeat. My hands instinct
