THANE’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.”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 a
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 POV “Bridget, we need to talk." I said with a serious look on my face."Oh hi Thane…pleasant day to you…how long have you been standing there??" She asked with a forced smile on her face as she looked around suspiciously.“Why?? Are you expecting someone??" I asked.“Not at all…I was just speaking with Emmy a while ago..he left not quite long."“Oh really?? What were you talking about??" “Just some couple stuff Thane..you know I am pregnant and so we need to start preparing for the arrival of our pup." Bridget said with a smile as she rubbed her belly.“How many weeks pregnant are you, Bridget?? Or has it gotten to months already??” I asked.“Just a few weeks…why are you asking?? Don't you believe me??”"I was only asking because you said you were discussing with Emmy about making preparations for the arrival of your pup and so I assumed you must have been a few months gone and you are likely to birth your pup anytime soon.” I said."Are you trying to mock me Thane?? What ex
THANE'S POVAs soon as I left Tyla in the room, I headed straight to my Mother's chambers.Alpha Hyperion was the exact replica of my late Father.The only difference between them was rank as Alpha Hyperion was named second in command to the Alpha of all Alpha's while my Father was given another rank.Although he was just a year older than my Father, my Father respected him and if I didn't know better I would say my Father feared him because he was the definition of ruthless and merciless. My Father could change his mind about some certain things but it was a different case for Alpha Hyperion.. he was so strict that he never allowed any of us to refer to him as Father instead from a young age, we called him Alpha. Rumor had it that he killed his first mate because she couldn't bear him a male child and an heir and so he took two women from the pack to play the role of his bed warmers and as luck would have it, they both bore male children for him.I had no idea if that story was tru
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
