TROY'S POV.I was frozen in shock. Blue had sacrificed herself to protect me. Her bitter cry echoed in my ears, and I felt as if my heart had been torn from my chest. She took the hit that was meant for me. The silver knife struck her in the stomach, and a scream escaped her lips as she fell to the ground.My trembling hands reached out to catch her falling form, tears blurring my vision. The battlefield seemed to fade into the background as I held her, my fingers stained with her blood. The world narrowed down to Blue and the agonizing realization of what she had done for me."No! Blue!" I cried out, the sound of my voice a distant echo. I clung to her, my despair and helplessness washing over me in waves. The battle raged on around us, but at that moment, the only thing that mattered was the woman I held in my arms, the woman who had just taken a deadly blow meant for me.I had already lost her once when I rejected her as my mate, and I could not bear the thought of losing her again

TROY’S POV.“We need to perform the mating bond,” The doctor said."The bond must be performed as soon as possible.""We have a problem," I admitted, my voice heavy with regret.The room fell silent, and everyone's eyes turned to me."Why is that?" Tyga asked his expression a mix of concern and confusion.The weight of my mistake bore down on me as I spoke. "We are no longer mates," I admitted, my shoulders slumping in shame."What?" Alex exclaimed, clearly shocked by the revelation."Are you saying you rejected Blue as your mate?" Tyga asked, his brows furrowing in disbelief.I nodded, my heart heavy with guilt. "I did not mean to, Tyga. We were going through a rough patch, and I made a terrible mistake. I rejected her, but now, I regret it more than anything.""Wow, you are even worse than I thought," Alexx remarked, his voice filled with disdain."I did not mean it," I defended myself, though I knew that my words held little weight."You are just making excuses," Alex retorted, h

It had been over a week, and I had not spoken to either Alex or Troy. The atmosphere within our pack was tense, with people whispering and questioning why I had saved Troy instead of sticking to our tradition of dealing with our enemies' offspring.I knew I needed to address the pack and clear the air, but I could not muster the courage. The whole situation had left me feeling confused and torn. How could I make them understand that Troy was not at fault and that we did not need to follow our old ways? And I had to find a way to tell them he was not only my mate but also their future Alpha. It all felt overwhelming.I was still angry with Troy for throwing me in prison without hearing me out and for rejecting me. Those feelings weighed heavily on me. I wanted to talk to him, to make him understand the hurt he had caused, but I also knew that being angry would not solve anything. I wondered if Alex had a point when he said I made things too easy for Troy. Maybe he did. However, I also

ALEX’S POV."Round up the men, we will be heading back to the Moonlight Pack tomorrow," Tyga announced.A member of the Moonlight Pack inquired, "Is Blue joining us on this trip?"Tyga replied, "No, we will be going on our own. I will be in charge of the pack as usual until she returns."The Moonlight Pack member pressed further, "But why? Why is she not coming with us?"Tyga's response was firm, "I believe she is in the best position to answer that question herself. She will address it when she is ready, and I will not be providing any more details."Then Tyga turned to me, asking, "Hey, my boy, how are you holding up?""I am okay, but I don't understand why I can not come with you all," I replied.Tyga responded, "Alex, I am sure you do""No, I don't," I insisted. "I don't see why I should stay behind with her. I am not of any use to Blue anymore."Tyga noted, "Months ago, you were eager to see her and be by her side. Now you are saying you do not want to?"I sighed, "Well, times ha

"What is the matter? What are you looking at ?" Alex inquired."Nothing," I replied, still trying to recover from the shock."I apologize for that," Alex said. I looked at him, puzzled, wondering what he was referring to."Sorry for what?" I asked, genuinely confused."Sorry for what the pack member said to you," Alex clarified."Oh, right," I said, recalling the earlier incident."Are you sure you are okay, Blue?" Alex inquired."Of course, I am fine," I assured him."So, what are you going to do about it? " he asked.“I do not know yet, I am still trying to gather my thoughts” I answered.“Well, you should do it fast before the packs reject you as their Alpha and choose another person,” he warned.“What? They can do that. The position is rightfully mine by birth,” I protested“I know that, but the pack is also capable of rejecting you and giving your position to someone else,” Alex explained.“That is unfair, Troy is my mate and they will accept it sooner or later,” I said firmly.
