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
Titus POV.Waking up and seeing Destinee sleeping soundly. I know she has been working hard and needs to rest, but telling her is a different story altogether. Leaning over, I kiss her forehead and she rolls over on her side and burrows further into the quilt.“She looks fucked Titus, we need to look after her. She doesn’t look good,” Orion says, and I take one last look at her before I exit the bed and head to the bathroom.“Yeah, but you know what her and Aura are like. They won’t listen to us. So I will speak to Sadia and get her to work her magic on her. Besides, we need to find out what the survivors know.” I tell him and he nods in agreement.Orion is a wolf of a few words. He prefers to sit back and watch, giving his pearls of wisdom occasionally.Once I’m ready, I look at Destinee’s sleeping form and she looks pale. I sigh and leave the bedroom and head to my office.As I enter the kitchen, I see one of the women we rescued last night. She smiles at me and I smile back.As she
Titus POV.“Heat? No, she hasn’t been in heat yet. Are you sure?” I ask in shock, how could I have not noticed it was the start of her heat? I’m so fucking stupid. Some mate I am.“Alpha, the signs are pointing to her heat. However, we don’t know how fast it will come, considering one she is an Alpha female and two because of who her wolf is.” The healer tells me and I look at her. I never considered this before. To be honest, it never crossed my mind.“Ok, she is a female, right? So her heat can’t be that different from other females, surely?” I ask, not knowing what to make of this.“The tiredness and her collapsing are normal in females. Usually when that happens, the heat will start. But again she doesn’t have a temperature. Her breathing is normal, but her heart is pounding. A female who is in heat, their skin is usually as hot as fire. But Destinee’s is normal. Has her scent changed?” she asks me and I lean closer to Destinee and take a deep sniff of her scent. I furrow my eyebr
Destinee POV.Waking up, it is already dark. I am laying on something hard yet warm. I bolt up, looking around.“Hey, calm down baby, you are in our room.” I turn to look at Titus beside me and I take a few deep breaths.“How did I get here? I was at the lake. What happened?” I ask, looking down at him and he moves to sit up. He turns on the bedside lamp and I squint and blink.His hands are placed either side of my face, and he searches my eyes. What the hell is going on?“I could feel through the bond something wasn’t right. Aura told Orion you had fainted before she fainted, too. So we ran to find you. Baby, there is something I need to tell you.” I furrow my eyebrows.“Oh, I remember feeling tired and the lake then laying down. But everything is hazy. What happened? What is wrong with me?” I place my head in my hands.Titus pulls me to his side and places his arms around me. I place my hand on his chest and he rests his chin on my head.“Destinee, you are going to go in to heat so
Destinee POV.The days have melded and merged into one. I have been feeling increasingly weaker and Aura is M.I.A.In two hours I will have the Alpha ceremony under the full moon and to say I am excited is horse shit. I feel sick and the pain is getting worse in my stomach.My heat is coming, and it will happen soon. Marcus and Titus evacuated the packhouse in case it the heat happens suddenly, but I haven’t left the confines of the bedroom. I have slept and not really ate, for fear of vomiting.I groan as a sudden wave of nausea rolls through me. I get up and dash to the bathroom, falling to my knees, and I heave over the toilet bowl. Bile is all I produce, and my stomach clenches more with each heave.I move to lie down on the cold tiled floor and I sigh; it is soothing. I have blocked Titus out. I don’t want him knowing this.“Destinee, are you alright?” I move my head to the side, my hair sticking to the side of my face.“Shit, you look like a hot mess. Come on, we need to get you
Titus POV.For the last three days, Destinee has been feeling the effects of the heat. It was becoming harder not to give in. She has been showering in cold water and won’t allow me to touch her. As much as I love her, she is being stubborn.“Titus, we need to postpone this ceremony. Destinee is going into heat sooner than we thought and I can’t feel Aura.” Orion tells me he is fretting and this is hard on us both as much as it is on Destinee and Aura.Marcus and I have managed to evacuate the packhouse and make sure the lockdown sequence is working. All I have to do is hit the button and the packhouse will be locked down within 10 seconds.“Titus, are you ok?” Orion asks and I groan, I can feel the pain Destinee is feeling and it makes me gasp. She is torturing herself and me, but I understand why.Destinee has been waiting for years to be acknowledged as an Alpha and even though I think it would be best to postpone until next month, she won’t hear it so I’m stuck at what to do.“Yeah
Destinee POV.The second the bedroom door was closed. Titus slammed me into the wall and I moaned out and started to grind against him. My skin was burning. I needed his skin on mine.A feral snarl left my throat as Titus slammed his lips against mine, silencing my snarl. The Alpha in me not wanting to submit but to conquer what is mine.The sting of my dress being ripped off me sent a shiver through me. I was bare for him. My hips grind, needing him inside me.Titus’s tongue traces my jaw down to the spot on my neck that will hold his mark, and I shiver and moan loudly. His tongue against my heated flesh sent me in to overdrive.My core pulsates and my arousal is dripping down my thighs and I’m going to come. Feeling the sensation roll over me, I need his cock inside me now. There would be no making love this a feral need and I will get what I want.I grip Titus’s throat, bringing his attention to my face, and I growl loudly. He growls in response. Titus is an Alpha and so am I. This
