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.“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.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

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

Destinee POV.It has been a week since the heat and all I have done is eat, sleep and vomit. According to Sadia, my pregnancy symptoms will appear quicker and I will start showing soon.Titus, however, has been so loving. Every chance he gets he is touching and kissing my stomach. He has been there when I’ve needed him and nothing has fazed him.“Destinee, we have an appointment this afternoon.” I stopped eating and looked at him. Did he tell me about this already? My brain isn’t registering anything at the moment.He chuckles at my reaction. “Did you forget?” I look away, biting the inside of my cheek. He pokes my nose. I sigh, rubbing my forehead.“Erm, it appears so. What appointment is it?” I look up when Sadia and the rest of the pack members all giggle. Turning my attention to them all, I narrow my eyes and growl and they all stop giggling and put their heads back down.“Sorry everyone.” I say and they all smile and some even coo in understanding. My hormones are everywhere, and
