Titus POV.Sitting in the living room, being separated by a wall from my mate it so hard, but her scent calms me and the storm that is brewing within me.Josh and Marcus are both sat opposite me, the silence is deadly. “She will be ok Titus. You have found her now.” Marcus tells me and I just nod my head and bring the glass to my lips and sip down the whiskey. It burns my throat, but it’s comforting.For so long, I found solace in the bottle, but now it’s different. I drank to dull the ache and now I’m drinking to calm my nerves. When will she wake up? She will run again? How am I going to make this right?I am pulled from my thoughts when the bedroom door opens. We all jump to our feet as Kendra and Sadia come out and close the door behind them.“How is she?” I ask. The fear in my voice is clear. Sadia takes the bottle of Jack Daniels and pours her and Kendra a glass. She knocks it back before pouring another one.She looks at me and moves to sit on the arm of the sofa next to Josh.
Titus POV.Sitting watching Destinee’s sleeping form, I’m calm and I knew at that moment that this beautiful she-wolf holds my heart and soul.“Our mate is beautiful when she sleeps, but I know she will be a firecracker when she wakes up.” Orion is watching her through my eyes and he is awestruck by her.“She is. We can only hope she gives us a chance, Orion. If she doesn’t then it will be the downfall of our pack.” Orion huffs at my words.“No, it won’t be me she needs to give a chance, it’s you. If she doesn’t I won’t help you. You caused this Titus, it’s time you became the Alpha you need to be, the better Alpha. If not for her, but for you.” He tells me. I roll my eyes at him and his divine wisdom, traitor.I stand and move to the side of the bed and grasp her hand in mine. Sparks dance in my palm. I will never tire of this feeling. Sitting next to her, I rub a little circle over her knuckles with my thumb.“I’m so sorry Destinee, I will spend the rest of my life making it up to yo
Titus POV.On the jet, I placed Destinee in the bedroom at the back of the jet. No signs of improvement in her condition leaves me concerned.“Orion, can you feel Aura?” I ask, keeping a watchful eye on my mate.“I can feel her. She is sleeping. I have tried calling out to her but nothing. The wolfsbane has knocked her out.” He whimpered out. He badly wants to speak to her and no doubt to throw me under the bus.“She will wake soon. We just need to explain to her what happened and hopefully she understands.” Well, that was wishful thinking. She is the Moon Goddess in wolf form, and I have a feeling her wrath is going to be devastating.“I hope she does, Titus, but we have another problem.” He tells me with a snicker.My eyebrows furrow at his words. “What do you mean?” I don’t like where this is going.He laughs “when she wakes up and realises she isn’t in her apartment. What do you think she will do? We have basically kidnapped her. You have to remember Titus. She has been on the run
Titus POV. Aura started to shift in my arms, and I had to drop her. Before she hit the floor, she shifted and stood up tall, shaking out her fur. She growled in my face. She bares her teeth and saliva drips down her fangs as she roars in my face. Aura has grown enormously in the past two years. She is beautiful. A whimper comes from behind her and she snaps her head round facing Crystal. She slowly turns her big furry body to face Crystal, she stalks towards her. Her head was low, and she was snarling at her. She stalks her slowly with purpose, like she is her prey, with one goal to take Crystal out. She stops a foot away from her. “I can smell my mate on you,” Aura speaks. I hear a gasp beside me and see Kendra has covered her mouth. Knowing that Aura has spoken aloud. No wolf can do that, but she can. We have so much to learn from her. Crystal whimpers. “I…I am his chosen.” My eyes widen. “Let me out. I will kill her. She is not my fucking chosen. Titus, you fucking moron.” O
Destinee POV.Sitting in the Alpha spot wasn’t part of the plan, but when I saw that bitch Crystal, I had to put him in his place. He hurt me and Aura.“Babe, I can feel Titus is different. He treats his pack differently. I know I said I make his life hell, but I want my mate and you do, too.” Aura says in my head. I process her words.She is right. He treats his members differently, but I can’t move past all the pain I felt when he betrayed me. I looked up to see Crystal glaring at me. Her jaw is hard, and she is looking at me like she wants to kill me. I scoff at her. She is no match for me.I sweep my gaze over all the pack members and they all seem happy.“Everything ok Destinee?” I turn my attention back to my plate and glance to the side at my mate.“Yes.” I say, not wanting a conversation with him. I am too used to doing this my way. I miss my family, my pack. I want to go home.The sting of tears in my eyes. I blink quickly to stop them from falling. “Excuse me.” I say as I st
Destinee POV.I wake to birds chirping and a bright sun. Blinking, I see I’m in a forest. I ran again last night after my encounter with Alpha Asshole. Standing up, I dust my hands on my jeans and walk back.“Destinee.” Aura speaks softly. I have nothing to say to her right now.“Please Babe, I’m sorry.” Again, I don’t answer her. I keep walking. “Fine, don’t speak. I will do it.” I rolled my eyes at her.“Look, what I said last night I am truly sorry, but understand I have wanted my mate for years and being close to him is making me want him more. There’s nothing I can do about it. I shouldn’t have pulled rank on you last night. I was wrong.” Sighing at her words, I keep walking.The mind link opens and the frantic voice of Sadia flitters in. “Destinee, where are you?” I huff shit.“I’m ok, I needed to clear my head. Last night, I slept in the forest. I’m on my way back. Everything ok?” I ask, feeling guilty for having her worry about me.“No, Titus came back last night and trashed t
Titus POV.Waking up to Destinee ready to rip out Crystal’s throat, I called her name. I wasn’t expecting to see my mate, and I knew I fucked up again.When Destinee accused me of telling Crystal about the betrayal, I lost it.I stormed back into my room and trashed my room. “Titus, baby, she doesn’t deserve you.” I turned my attention to Crystal and stalked over to her Orion on the surface. He grabbed her around the throat and threw her into the wall.“Who told you she felt the betrayal? Tell me now.” I gritted out. Her eyes were wide, and she was shaking.“You told me. You told me.” I closed my eyes and took a shaky breath in. I don’t remember telling her.“When did I tell you? Don’t play with me Crystal, I won’t hesitate to rip you apart,” Orion snarled out at her. She whimpered.“La-last night you told me.” I released my grip on her, and she slid down the wall, rubbing her throat. I stepped back from her.“Get out.” I say, not looking at her. She used it against Destinee. If she l
Destinee POV. Titus pulled me behind him to protect me from Crystal. He growled low in warning. “Why are you here Crystal?” he spat at her. I rolled my eyes at him. Does he not realise I’m more than capable of dealing with this woman? “I…I came to clear up any misunderstanding with your mate. Titus, I have no intention of harming her." I scoffed at her. Yeah right. “Titus, it’s OK,” I say, placing my hand on his back as I step out from behind him. I met her gaze, and I smiled at her. “Crystal, what misunderstanding are you referring to? Is the fact you have slept with my mate or the fact that you won’t let him go?” I ask not breaking eye contact with her. Titus places his hand on my lower back, the heat from his body surrounding me, and I relax slightly. The hatred in her gaze makes me smile. “We can take her,” Aura sneers in my mind. This woman clearly has a hidden motive, and we won’t let her deceive us. "Taking her is not an option. We aren’t a member of his pack. If we kill
