Chapter 5

• 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.
• He wanted to kill everyone.
• He turned his head and looked at the place where his mother was with the Beta and glared at them. He wanted to rip their head. Each and every comment that they said against his father was acting as fuel in his anger.
• “Why is your illegitimate pup glaring at me as if he will kill me?” The Beta asked with a chuckle. Wylder narrowed his eyes, wondering how could he heard something when they were standing up on the second floor, but he didn’t care.
• “If he will have been born with his father’s ability, then by now, he would have done already, but he is useless, and I had to use him as bait to fool Alpha.”
• That was it. He ran up toward them to kill both of them. At the same time, his whole body was burning in anger, and he was feeling an enormous amount of pain, the pain of losing his father, the pain of betrayal, the pain as if someone was trying to break his bones and wanted to come out of his body.
• “I will kill you both.” He said while coming like a growl from his throat.
• “What the… what is happening to him?” The Beta asked in shock, unable to understand how a boy of seven years old could growl like a wolf. He watched in shock when Wylder’s bone started cracking, and his body started shifting. “Who is his father? With whom did you sleep and give birth to a freak like him?” He asked in horror, holding Wylder’s mother's hand, who was equally shocked.
• “Step away!!” He used his Alpha tone; after all, the Beta was the younger brother of his father. Wylder ignored his command as his mind was focused on the pain that he was feeling as he was shifting for the first time. But his so-called uncle, or say, Beta, didn’t dare to come close to him.
• “After killing you,” Wylder spoke in a voice that he himself couldn’t recognize.
• “Control him by using your power.” The Beta spoke again, on which Wylder’s Mother used a spell on him only to see that it didn’t work on him.
• “I can’t. Deal with him.” With that, she disappeared from there the moment Wylder shifted into a black werewolf with blue eyes and lunged at her to kill her. Wylder’s wolf looked at his other prey and lunged at him to kill him in the same way that everyone did to his father. The moment he was done ripping his head, a lot of pack members came over there, watching the black werewolf in shock and fear. They walked toward him to attack him. That was when Wylder’s wolf let out a warning growl, and his body started shifting again, but not into a human form, but into the bigger and more dangerous form of a werewolf.
• The werewolf who was standing before them on his four paws was standing on two feet. He growled at them angrily before jumping from the second floor to run away from there instead of fighting with everyone.
• When Wylder opened his eyes, he found himself in the middle of the forest, naked, and his body was covered with blood. He couldn’t recall what exactly had happened after feeling extreme pain in his body. All he remembered was that he had lost control of his anger, and someone else had taken control of his body.
