Destinee POV.Running towards the Northern border, I stop in my tracks. Rogue women holding their crying babies, rogue males looking relieved yet frightened. Children clinging to their parents in fear. The very sight breaks my heart. For whatever reason, they became rogue. They are still children of Selene.Aura is sitting up in my mind, watching what is happening. I can feel her anger and heartbreak at what she is seeing.“Destinee, this is heartbreaking. Let me forward.” Aura speaks and I comply with her request.“Why are you all here?” she asks and a male and female with children step forward, cautiously, heads down and shaking in fear.“No-one will hurt you, speak.” She says, and the male looks up at her.“Were not part of the rogues who are attacking packs. Those who don’t follow Crystal and Sampson are killed. We managed to get away. We have seen things terribly things. Our desire is to live in peace, and we are different from them. Please help us.” The man drops to his knees an
Destinee POV.I was overjoyed when the meeting had ended. Titus looked awful, and I knew he was worried about telling me that the council had put him under scrutiny, all because of his relationship with Crystal.“Baby, how did you get here so quickly?” he asked, looking down at me with a confused look on his handsome face.“Fenrir opened a portal, and so we came here. But he has gone now, so it looks like I will have to come back with you and Marcus.” I declared bashfully as I fidgeted with my fingers.His chuckle brought me out of my embarrassed state as he kissed me on my head. “Of course you will return with us. There is something you’re not telling me I can feel it, so come on. Tell me what happened?” he says as he looks at me with love in his eyes.Is he going to be angry that I allowed the rogues to find refuge in the pack? Is he going to kick them out in their hour of need?Sighing, I take a step back, preparing for what I need to tell him.“Don’t be mad at me,” I looked him in
Destinee POV.After Titus and Marcus got to know some of the families we all headed to the dining hall to have dinner together.I felt comfort sitting beside Titus at the Alpha’s table, but I had already been sitting here all week, even when Titus wasn’t present. The empty head table gave me an odd feeling, yet now it feels comfortable to be seated next to my mate.Looking out and around the dining hall. Hearing the laughter of the children and their parents makes me realise that even when faced with so much death and uncertainty, as they have been. The slightest bit of comfort can make them forget about what had happened. Even if only for a short time.Smiling to myself, I watch as a few rogue children run around playing; they feel safe and at home and that is what I wanted to do for them. To give them and their parents that sense of safety, most packs would have turned them all away and left them to be slaughtered.“You did good babe, look at them all. This is what Selene meant when
Destinee POV.Titus carried me into the bathroom and put me down on the sink vanity. He caged me in his arms and smirked at me. I could feel my core tighten with anticipation.He leaned closer and ghosted my lips and said, “I’ve missed you so much. Being away from you for only a day was enough to destroy me. A week without you was torture. I love you Destinee.”I whimpered at his words and crashed my lips on his, tangling my hands in his hair, and kissed him with hunger and need. The pain of missing him was too much. I need to feel him close; I need him inside of me. Now.My hands slide down his chest to his shirt and I unbutton it, needing to feel his skin against mine. Not breaking the kiss, he kisses along my jaw to my ear and nibbles on my earlobe, making me shudder and moan.Titus grips my top and tears it. I moan as his hands move around my back and he unclips my bra and removes my arms from the straps.Gripping my hips, he pulls me closer to him and I wrap my legs around his ba
Destinee POV.“What do you want, Crystal?” I all but growl out and Titus jolts up in bed and moves towards me, trying to snatch the phone from my hands.I hold my hand up to stop him, and he stops. Moving the phone from my ear, I place the call on loudspeaker and grab my phone to record the call.“Well, I was hoping to speak to my lover, but I suppose you will do.” She chuckles at the end. Aura bristles in my mind and is listening to the call.“Oh, your lover is busy. In fact, I’m looking down at him right now.” I say with a small moan. I want to piss her off, so she will make a mistake and it’s working.“You whore, he is mine.” I chuckle at her words and moan louder.“Oh Titus, don’t stop. Mmm, yes. Just like that.” I say as he smirks at me, knowing what I am doing.“Destinee, I will kill you and take him back from you. I will watch as the rogues rape you, and you will watch as I fuck Titus in front of you.” She snarls out and I smirk. Stupid bitch.“What will Sampson say when he fin
Titus POV.The past few days have been hectic. We have been moving the rogue refugees to their own homes. We couldn’t have them stay in the packhouse for too long because we simply didn’t know how long it would take to get the situation under control.I have hardly seen Destinee over the past three days. She has been keeping herself busy with training and when she isn’t training; she is helping the rogue families with moving into their new homes.Some families have decided they want to stay, so we have pledged them into the pack. The rest are still deciding. Should they decide to stay, it is no problem. We have enough room to accommodate them and more if needed.We are still waiting for word from Destinee’s father, Alpha Maximus Shaw. Today is the day he said he would have information.“Titus, has he rang yet?” Destinee’s voice sounds in my head and I sigh. She has been asking me on the hour every hour since we woke up this morning.“No, baby, nothing yet. When he does I will link you
Destinee POV.Darting in between trees and jumping over fallen branches, I track the smell of rogues to a clearing in the forest. I stop and mask my scent.Watching from the treeline I see them. Some rogues who attacked the packs. I knew they were close to Venom Fang, but I didn’t realise they were this close.“Titus, I’ve found the rogues.” I say and he steps forward and we both look. I look around, seeing if I can see the bitch, but she isn’t here.“There is only a handful, maybe 200. She isn’t with them. I will deal with them all now.” I say as Aura steps out of the treeline.“Aura, can you read the minds of one? I need to make sure these are the rogues who are responsible for the attacks.” I say, and she chuckles.“Of course, and if they are?” she asks, tilting her head and I smirk.“Kill them all.” I say with no emotion at all, they deserve death for what they have done.She steps forward and enters the mind of one and it’s confirmed; they are behind the attacks. Hearing a scream
Destinee POV.Opening my eyes slowly, I squint and close my eyes again. The sunlight is bright and my eyes feel like sandpaper. I turn and burrow under the quilt in order so I can open my eyes.The side of the bed is empty and cold. Titus hasn’t been here for a while. I feel weak. The events from the past few weeks are taking a toll on me.Rolling over and pulling the quilt away from my face, I blink, allowing my eyes to adjust to the brightness in the room.I don’t want to get up but I have to; I need to see the survivors and find out what they know about the rogue’s movements.Sitting up, I yawn and stretch, pulling the quilt back and shuffle to the edge of the bed and stand. Titus must have changed me because I’m in one of his shirts.I have to prepare for the Alpha ceremony, which will take place next week and I haven’t done anything to prepare for it. I’m not one for big parties. The thought makes me cringe.“Morning Destinee, how are you feeling?” Aura yawns and stretches in my
