Wylder placed Tiara on the bed and observed her like a creep. He knew the reason why she was in so much pain. It was the pain of rejection that she was hiding from everyone, but he couldn’t understand why she was in so much pain when she was the one who rejected him.
It was what he had learned from his mothers, who adopted him. And his mothers, Eden Miller and Arya Miller, were Sophia Haysbert, Tiara’s mother’s best friend for more than two decades.
Wylder ran his fingers through her dirty hair. He could bet that she didn’t take took a shower in the past couple of days because werewolves had a sensitive noses, and they could smell these small things. The way her hair was stuck to his fingers, Tiara didn’t even comb her hair.
He was about to remove his hand when Tiara grabbed his hand. “Theo!! Please don’t.”
Wylder’s expression changed when he heard her calling someone else name by holding his hand. He didn’t have to be a genius to know that Theo was her ex-mate.
‘EX. ' He couldn’t express his happiness at the thought that Tiara rejected her mate.
He was eight when he was adopted by Eden and Arya, and no one knew the back story of his life or even his real name before he was adopted because he never shared it with anyone. After all, it was a nightmare that he didn’t want to think about.
And since then, he had loved Tiara. He doubted that he even knew the meaning of LOVE at that moment. Neither did he want to find his mate, nor did he want Tiara to find her but their destiny had another plan; they both found their fated mate, only to get a bitter experience of their life.
Wylder pulled his hand from her grip before speaking, “It’s me, Ara. Wylder.” He whispered, not sure if she was listening to him or not.
He let her sleep on the bed while he sat on the sofa, watching her sleeping figure and recalled that seventeen years back, even her family members were sleeping peacefully until he heard a loud noise.

FLASHBACK
*
Wylder was just seven years old when he heard the loud noise out of his room. He quickly left his bed and opened the door to see what was happening outside, only to scream in horror when he saw a lot of pack members hitting his father, his stepfather, to be exact. His mother had told him that he was the result of one night stand before his mother found her mate.
The best part was that his stepfather wanted him even though Wylder wasn’t his.
“Why are you hitting my dad?” Wylder reached near the pack members, trying to stop them from hitting his father. After all, he was the Alpha of the pack. Why would they do any of them treat their Alpha in that way?
“Stop it!!” He screamed but was thrown away by the pack members.
“Mom!! Mom!!” Wylder cried, looking for her mother, who could stop all this. After all, she was the Luna of the pack, but what he saw next broke his innocent heart. His mother was standing up here, watching all this with the Beta of the pack with a smile on her face.
But he still ran up toward her to ask her to stop all this, “Mom, Mom! Please stop that. They will kill, dad.”
“Go and sleep, Wilfred (Wylder).” She said, ignoring her request.
“Mom, Dad will die.” Wylder cried, watching his father bleeding.
“He has to, sweetheart. Because he raped and killed Beta female.” Wylder couldn’t understand the meaning of rape, but he understood that the Beta female was no more, and as for everyone, it was his father who killed her.
“No. That’s not true. I don’t believe you.” Wylder screamed at her.
“I know that’s not true, but still, everyone believed it.” She smirked before threatening him, “Now leave before I end up killing you.”
Wylder quickly ran away from there to help his father on his own.
“Dad!! Dadd!!” He managed to reach near him and hugged his bleeding body tightly.
“Ru..run away, Son!!”
In the next second, he was ripped apart from his father. “Watch this bastard die!!”
“He has committed a grave sin by assaulting Beta Female and then killing her to hide his crime.”
“A person like him has no die to live.”
“He is shame at the name of Moon Goddess’s child.”
“No!! No!! No!!” Wylder kept screaming, but in front of his eyes, not just everyone killed him but ripped each and every part of his father in front of his eyes. He kept screaming and crying, but his voice died in between the sound of everyone cheering and demanding his father’s death.
“Dad… Daddy!!” He cried for one last time when the people holding him let him go, and he ran near his father’s head. “Dad..” he whispered in a low tone, and his heart was racing in his chest. He felt something was happening to him, but he couldn’t figure it out. The intense anger that he was feeling inside his chest because of everyone killing his father or for the part that no one heard his plea or over the part that his mother was involved in all this was something that he couldn’t control.
