"I doubt that, Aunt. I could sense that Uncle wasn’t really happy with this information. He doesn't like Theodore and knowing that I'm related to him doesn't help the situation. Moreover, I can feel that this Theodore doesn’t have a great image in everyone’s eyes; otherwise, Uncle wouldn’t have kicked Lee out of the house just because she chose him."
"It's nothing like that." Sophia shook her head. "Theodore is different but not bad. And about your uncle, you know that he always wanted the best for his daughters. So, his expectations were super duper high. I won’t lie, but out of all the facts, one fact about Hunter was his big fat EGO."
"Out of all our children, Lee was the most obedient one and had always heard her father’s words. The fact that she fell in love and chose someone whom Hunter couldn’t digest Because it was unexpected. Hell, even I was shocked when she stood against her own father for her mate. At the same time, I’m glad that she did that."
"Lee needed to learn to take her own decisions or she would always have been the same timid, shy, introverted, and weak girl who could never stand up for herself," Sophia said, to which Wylder nodded his head. He remembered her behavior from the past. Even so, it was hard for him to digest that Liara went against her father.
"I see, you are fond of Theodore," Wylder muttered, not liking that, besides his love, there were other people on the list who liked his competitor. Sophia laughed when she felt that Wylder was jealous of Theodore.
"I see, you’re getting jealous of him." Sophia joked. "Just because he and Tee didn’t work out doesn’t mean I will start hating him, and after knowing more about him, I doubt that you can hate him."
Wylder thought about this for a while. He never asked about Theodore from Tiara in detail because he was scared that he might not be able to control his jealousy. At the same time, Tiara didn't share much about Theodore's life on her own, so he didn't waste his time in knowing more about him.
She just told him the truth about the night he rejected her and a little bit of basic things.
"Seems like Ara isn’t coming anytime soon. So go ahead. Tell me what is the back story of this Theodore?" Wylder asked to kill the waiting time. He wondered why Tiara went to the gym at that moment when he was about to arrive.
"Ths story begins…"
More than half an hour passed, but there was no sign of Tiara and Brandon. And after learning the truth about Theodore and also about the fact that they were related, He had to get some answers about his life from a couple of people.
"Aunt, will you mind if I leave? It’s urgent." Wylder said, checking the time. Sophia wanted to stop him because she knew that Tiara would get upset after finding that he wasn’t there, but then she should learn to respect the time of other people. "And don’t worry, I’m taking my share of breakfast."
"Sure." Sophia smiled.
Wylder tried to call Tiara one last time to tell her that he had to leave because of some urgent work, but the phone was switched off now. Earlier, she wasn’t receiving the call, then she started disconnecting the call, and now this.
[Ara, I've got to find the answers to my past. That’s why I’m leaving. Take care.]
He dropped one last message before leaving.

On the other side, Tiara was avoiding Wylder intentionally. She had asked him to return after two hours and fifteen minutes, but he was late. So, she took a little revenge by leaving for the gym after waiting for fifteen minutes more.
She swore to make him wait for hours for not return on time.
"Done for the day; I can’t stay away from my woman for this long," Brandon complained when he checked the time. It was already one hour now. "Moreover, I always do yoga with her."
"You mean HOT yoga." Tiara teased him, to which Brandon glared at her before smiling. "My naughty dad." She teased him.
"You can’t blame me. A werewolf has a high sexual drive. Higher the rank, higher the sex drive." Hearing this, Tiara’s face paled. She couldn’t help but wonder whether Wylder was involved with other women as well.
It was obvious that she wasn’t enough for him without her wolf. "Don’t you dare doubt Wylder’s character?"
"How did you know what I was thinking?"
"I’m your father, Princess." Brandon replied, "Wylder is gold. Doubting his character even for a second is more like sin." Tiara smiled at his words. "Now, tell me why you're mad at him."
"That’s our thing. I won’t tell you." Tiara responded. She knew that if she told him the real reason, her father would scold her.
"Okay. "So, does he know the reason because of why you’re mad at him?"
"Umm.. no."
"Oh. Let me rephrase that question for you: Does he know that you’re mad at him?"
"No."
Brandon sighed and rubbed his head. "Poor guy. He fell for the drama queen."
"Stop it, Dad. He doesn’t love me."
"Does he really not?" Brandon questioned her. Tiara opened her mouth to answer her dad, but she couldn’t reply to him instantly. "Don’t tell me that after losing Dora you lost your mind as well. I know you can’t smell or sense, but I’m pretty sure that your other organs work perfectly fine. Now, come on, your man will be waiting for you."
"Yeah!!"
Tiara made up her mind to ask Wylder about his feelings for her today. Little did she know, a little storm was going to arrive in her life tonight.
