“I know, Colt!! Though you will never share but I know you think you failed as a brother to protect Lee from Theodore’s love trap. But trust me, Lee knew what she was doing, and Theodore didn’t trap her in his fake love. He loves her for real.” Tiara tried to explain to her brother, who wasn’t happy with Liara claiming Theodore a rogue and kicking her career aside. Well, her brothers weren’t the only ones who thought in that way; even her father was upset with all. Bradon Haysbert broke all his ties with her sister for going against him.
Little did everyone know, this was one of the ways to stop Liara, but she did what she wanted to. She chose her fated mate before her family, and everyone was trying to adjust to that news.
Tiara knew that everyone needed time to adjust to this change in their life, but eventually, moving on was the second name of life.
“That doesn’t change the fact that he doesn’t match Lee’s standard.”
“Isn’t this hypocrisy that a man can marry a woman who is not of his standard and society can accept that, but if a girl does the same, then everyone starts pointing out their fingers at that couple?” Tiara questioned. “Come on, brother!! It’s time to grow up. Don’t forget dad was a billionaire when he married mom, while Mom was from a middle-class family who had never earned a penny. Mom was nowhere near dad’s standard at that time. But now, both are successful and have their business of their own in a different sector.”
“If you think so much about equality, then care to explain why did you reject him even when you were marked by him?” Colton questioned.
‘I didn’t reject him, brother. He did.’ Tiara wanted to say, but then Colton would hurt Theodore down and torture him and hurt him for hurting his sister.
“Because he wanted to return back to the forest instead of staying in living in the human world,” Tiara told him the half-truth. It was true Theodore wanted to live in the forest while her career was in the human world. “Do you know the story of two birds?”
“Their worlds were different. One was made for the skies, and the other for the cage. But they fell in love. Even after many efforts, the sky bird couldn’t live in the cage, nor could the other one soar in the skies. But their love never diminished.” Tiara said and wiped her tears in pain because, unlike the story, Theodore never loved her, nor did he put any effort into their bond with her, even though their world was different.
“What nonsense!!” With that Colton disconnected the call and sent her the number of Wylder.
Tiara saved his number and after battling for a while, she sent a text.
[Tiara: Free on weekend?]
She waited for his response but it didn’t come in the next half hour. Feeling dejected, she returned back to her shoot to resume it.

“Until when are you going to keep that long face?” Zahir asked his new Alpha, who had taken over the pack a year back. He was hoping to become the Alpha of the pack, but then he lost to Wylder in the match in order to appoint the right Alpha of the pack.
In the beginning, not everyone was happy with Wylder’s becoming the Alpha, as no one knew a thing about him. Also, he was a half-wizard. But Wylder won everyone’s hearts with his sweet and kind behavior. Unlike other Alpha, he was cheerful and easily approachable. He was someone who didn’t use to scare everyone with his aura even though he was powerful.
“It’s a girl, isn’t it?” Zahir asked again.
“It’s my personal life, Zahir,” Wylder said, making rules for the Omegas of the pack. He never liked the omegas were treated just because they were weak. “Go through the rules with Eliam that I’ve made for Omegas and let me know if I need to change any point,” he added.
“I thought we were friends.” Zahir emotionally blackmailed him and mind-linked Eliam to the office. “Ah. I see; you’re thinking of making them mentally strong if not physically.” He said, going through the plan. Unlike other packs, omegas wouldn’t be only serving Alpha or higher-ranked wolves. In fact, he had planned a foolproof plan to educate Omegas, and it was a mandatory rule.
And whatever pay those Omegas used to receive by working as a helper or low profile job. Wylder was planning to pay the double amount if they would study hard.
“Aren’t you investing a lot more in them than required?” Zahir asked.
