-TITANIA- "You have a match at eight o'clock, Titania; please be on time since the bettors tonight are big shots, and the prize for the winner could cover your debt to Mr. Wyatt!"After speaking with Mr. Sean, I turned off my mobile phone and laid down on the bed, arms widely extended on both sides of my face. I shook my head, snickering at the prospect of being unable to join the fight.First, when I was brought back to Spring Valley, I left my huge bike on Harrington, in the parking lot of the building that served as the site of the underground combat. Second, convincing my so-called 'kidnapper' to let me return to the city and fight again would be impossible. Obviously, he's not delighted that I've been smashing faces and kicking asses for five years.I sighed deeply, resting my left arm on top of my brow. I had saved half of the money that I needed to pay back to Thomas Wyatt. All I need to do now is provide the other half to finalize everything. However, Thanus Morgan appeared f
-TITANIA- Thanus' face flushed with surprise when he heard what I called him. His face grew pale, and his jaw dropped for a moment before he closed his mouth and shook his head when he recovered.Emilia's query was answered and I drew a crooked smirk on the side of my lips. So, it's true. His reaction confirmed that I am indeed his mate. Therefore, why does it appear that he has no intention of informing me of such an important event? Why is he keeping it hidden?I slid off the table and as soon as I was in front of him—almost straddling him because there was only a small gap between me and the table—my hands landed firmly on both sides of my waist and I narrowed my stare at him."Well, don't you have something to explain to me, alpha?" in a solemn tone and a deep frown on my forehead, I demanded an explanation first, then prepared to request permission to return to Harrington afterward.Thanus let out a long, deep sigh, leaned back in his chair, and shook his head for the second tim
-TITANIA-Neru, Emilia, and I made our way through the congested corridor. The music was blaring and I couldn't hear anything from the audience. My nose twitched as I detected the unpleasant odors of sweat emanating from them, making me feel nauseating and anxious.'Fuck it. I couldn't help myself! 'Although I knew Thanus was a powerful shifter, the opponents in the death cage were also formidable. They were ruthless and had no qualms about eliminating their competitor.Mr. Sean and I had a serious conversation, and I easily persuaded him to send Thanus to the highlight match in my place. My manager doesn't mind since if Thanus wins, he will also get a large sum of money. Three matches had already been completed, and the most anticipated combat would shortly commence. This implies Thanus will get his turn."Luna, here," Neru shouted out while holding Emilia's hand tightly.The beta got a fantastic spot in the front row on the terrace where we could get an excellent view of the combat
- TITANIA-It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining softly and the air was cool, making it an ideal time to take a stroll in Spring Valley. I walked around the neighborhood with Emilia. Neru informed all pack members the other day that I am Thanus Morgan's mate, so most of them are already accustomed to seeing me around. They even referred to me as their luna, which felt peculiar. A long sigh escaped my lips. I should get used to it because I had already made a bargain with the alpha to start over in Dark Moon."My father's pack is twice as big as this pack," Emilia said as we walked to the east side of the region. I looked at her and realized she wasn't being overly cocky."The Black Forest is fairly far from the east continent; why spend a vacation here when there are nicer places close to your territory?"Despite the fact that we began as rivals and had several difficult encounters, the bad blood between us faded. I had no idea if she had altered her attitude because she had di
-TITANIA-The night breeze was cool, yet I felt the opposite. It felt like my entire body was in a furnace. I put on the air conditioning and opened the windows, but nothing helped. I'd been tossing and turning in bed for hours, feeling even more sweaty and tense.Fucking hell! What is happening to me?My gaze was drawn to Thanus on the couch, who had his eyes closed but was clearly awake."When are we going back to the cabin, sweetheart? It's more comfortable being there than here," I questioned, scratching my arms, which felt like needles were poking me."Maybe next week," he answered, swiftly turning on his side and withdrawing away from me.My brow furrowed when I noticed something fishy in his voice as if he was having difficulty speaking. But, when I felt incessant pricking on my body, my mind was drawn back to my current predicament. "What the hell! Is there a virus in your room, Thanus? I've been itching for hours and it's crazy hot here!" I exclaimed, annoyed and harshly.He
-TITANIA-The evening sky was unusually murky, with no night luminaries visible. A strong breeze blew, signaling that bad weather was on the way, but the people of Harrington were unconcerned as they crammed and made noise on the busy street. Over a minute, I stormed out of my apartment in sweatpants, a white t-shirt, and sneakers, my hands tucked into the pockets of my hoodie. I joined the crowds and took the shortest route to work. "Heck," I muttered under my erratic breathing, not in the mood to walk 'cause I needed to take my big bike to the mechanic earlier to fix some problems. I could call a cab, but the drivers I'd previously encountered were either jerks or perverts, therefore, walking was a better option to avoid spilling blood on worthless people. That was my thought as I turned to an ally, unaware that three unfamiliar men were following me. They appeared on my side and dragged me into a dark, disgusting, and stinking nook when they saw an opportunity. I was taken abac
-TITANIA-There was one thing I couldn't get away from the last few days. Alcohol. Being dumped by my boyfriend and left with a mountain of debt stinks! I had no choice but to keep drinking until I passed out."Get out of here!"Christ! And that woman's voice only aggravated my hangover. I was extremely intoxicated the other night and crashed at my mother's house.Closing my eyes tightly, I went back to sleep and completely ignored her. Just as I was about to snooze, I felt a sharp object stab my left arm, which was resting on top of my face. I got up from the long sofa in the middle of the living room with a loud hiss."What the hell!" I grumbled through my teeth, pulling a chef knife from my flesh and tossing it away. Sniggering, I reached for my backpack, took out a clean white shirt, and wrapped it around my injured arm."I said get out!" the woman screamed, sprinting towards me from the kitchen door and slapping me across the face.The impact rang in my ear, and I winced. 'Fuck!
-Titania-A powerful blow hit my face.'Oh, sweet Goddess!'As I stumbled backward, I mentally grumbled and shook my head, suddenly seeing stars and black dots in my vision.My knees weakened, and I immediately relied on my legs to support my weight. I was still dizzy and disoriented when I received another smack and a hard kick to the chest.What the fucking shit!There was a loud cracking sound inside my body, and then I flew into the cage wall. My back collided with the metal, and I collapsed to the floor in agony.As I curled into a ball, the audience outside the cage shouted in exhilaration."Hurts!" I was wailing not because of the beatings I had received from my opponent, but because of the sorrow in my heart.It was my grandfather's funeral that morning. The only nice person who ever made me feel wanted. Who took care of me after my mother rejected me and sent me to the villa? And, as Liz previously stated, he is my favorite old man.Rather than attending the funeral, I spent
