All Chapters of ALPHA THANE'S TWISTED REJECTION : Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

THANE'S POV After the distress call, Emmy and I both rushed out of the pack house and headed to the southern woods.The trees were silent...Too silent.Emmy and I moved fast through the forest path that led to the location of the distress call. My wolf was alert, ears perked, ready for anything but there was nothing.No scent, no blood, no attack..Just emptiness.We circled the area twice, then a third time.“Anything?” I asked Emmy. “No.”He said as he growled lowly.We both stood in the center of the clearing, surrounded by tall pines, the moonlight barely cutting through the canopy.“It’s a false call.” I muttered under my breath. “Someone played us.”Emmy turned to me, his eyes glowing faintly. “Or maybe it was meant to distract us.”His words hit me harder than I expected. The timing, the silence, the tension back at the pack... all of it was too clean, too well-timed.“Let’s head back.” I said.We didn’t speak for a while..just the sound of boots over damp leaves and the ru

EMMY'S POV My fists were still sore.The sharp sting across my knuckles from punching Thane echoed louder than the throbbing pain in my heart. We’d fought like two rabid wolves..no words, no explanations, just fury. I’d waited years to unleash it but when Rico dragged us apart, all I felt was empty.The betrayal was too much to handle and knowing that Hyperion was my Father was another kind of hurt that lingered in my heart.I made my way back to my quarters, bruised, bleeding slightly, and too angry to care. My thoughts kept looping the same thing: He slept with her…with Bridget and never told me.The door creaked open and I stepped inside, only to stop short.There she was.Bridget.Sitting on the edge of the bed like nothing had happened, like she belonged here. She stood up immediately when she saw me, as her eyes scanned my face. I saw the shift, the fake concern softening her features.“Oh Emmy… what happened to you?” she asked as she moved closer.I took a deep breath and

EMMY'S POV I was already dressed and out the door. My head still throbbed from everything that had happened… the fight with Thane, the rage with Bridget and the amazing night with Raya but today wasn’t about my feelings…. It was about strategy.Raya had given me a plan I hadn’t thought of before: stay close to the enemy to find out what she was planning. Bridget might have lost her place in my heart, but she was still dangerous and I wasn’t about to let her destroy what was left of this pack… or the people in it.I watched how my Mother suffered and toiled to put the pack in place after she lost her mate and so that labour and sacrifice wasn't just going to be in vain.I took a deep breath and headed toward the hill behind the training grounds, where Bridget always went when she wanted to be alone…Or dramatic.She was already there, sitting on the rock like she was posing for a painting. Her long hair whipped in the breeze, and she didn’t even flinch when I approached.“I was wond

THANE'S POV My hand connected with soft skin before I even realized what was happening. The shock of it hit me the same time Tyla’s body did, falling to the floor like a delicate leaf cut from its branch.“Tyla!” I dropped to my knees beside her, the anger draining out of me like a tide leaving the shore. Blood was trickling from a cut near her forehead as her eyes were slowly closing and the worst part was that she wasn’t moving.“Damn it!” I shouted, my voice cracking. “Why did you get in the way?!”“She tried to stop you from hitting me.” Emmy said quietly behind me.I turned on him with rage still burning behind my eyes. “Don’t touch her!” I growled when he reached forward. “This is all your fault!”Emmy’s jaw clenched, but he didn’t say anything. I scooped Tyla into my arms gently, bridal style, feeling her body limp and warm against me.“Move!” I barked at Emmy, pushing past him.The hallway blurred as I rushed her to the pack clinic. I didn’t care that people were stari

TYLA'S POV The walls of the clinic room felt colder than ever. Not because the temperature dropped, but because my heart had. Everything inside me was numb, like someone had ripped out the air and replaced it with grief, confusion, and fear. I sat up slowly, hugging my knees to my chest, careful not to press too hard on my belly. Even the thought of it…a pup…made my stomach twist in a knot.Why now? Why in the middle of chaos? Why with so many enemies still out there?I buried my face into my knees and let the tears fall. I didn’t try to stop them…there was no one here to pretend for. No one to hide the truth from.“You’re being too hard on yourself,” came a soft voice in my head.I blinked in confusion. “Lyra?” I whispered.It was on rare occasions Lyra spoke to me without me speaking to her first and so I was shocked that she said something to me.“Yes, it’s me.” my wolf replied gently.“I’ve been quiet, giving you time to feel but now, I think it’s time to talk.”I wiped my
