Destinee POV.“No, I will not be used as bait Destinee. It won’t work.” I shake my head at his words. How does he know it won’t work? Seriously, we need to get her to expose herself. Right now, it is the only plan we have.“And why is that?” I ask, folding my arms over my chest glaring at him. I will fight him on this if I need to. He is an Alpha, after all. He is doing what is right for his pack.“Did you forget I attacked her last time I saw her in Denver?” he copies my actions and now we are facing off, oh he is being serious. Well, too bad because I’m just getting started.“Oh, yeah, you’re absolutely right. How could I forget about that?” I say mockingly, shaking my head before I see his reaction change.Why did it change? What is he scared of? No, it can’t be. Why the cheeky son of a bitch!“While we are on the subject,” I smile at him before I stand and move closer to him, slowly circling him like he is prey, looking him up and down. I will get my answers now.“Why didn’t you k

Titus POV.The steady beeping of the machines is a cold reminder that this has happened. It has been a six days since Destinee fell and slipped into a coma. No-one can tell me why this has happened. I’m sick of listening to the excuse that Destinee was overexerting herself.“Titus, you need to leave the room. She isn’t going to wake up anytime soon. I will watch over her. If anything happens, I’ll let you know.” Fenrir hasn’t left her side either. This is my fault.“No, I will stay with her.” I will not leave her side, especially when I don’t have to. Fenrir sighs before he growls. I ignore him. She is my mate, and he doesn’t understand. No-one does.“Titus, I will drag you out of this room. Your pack needs it’s Alpha, not Marcus. Destinee is not going anywhere. Your pack is worried that both their Alpha’s are nowhere to be seen. They are worried that you have given up on them. Get your head out of your ass,” he growls at me as he grabs me.I snarl in warning. How fucking dare he touc

Destinee POV. Listening to the reports and seeing how my plans have all come together, I smile. I feel accomplished knowing I am making a difference in my pack. I am taking my Alpha responsibilities seriously while I leave twit and twat to dangle and sort out their issues. I can run the pack standing on my head. After all, I was made for this. “So, where are we with finding the latest movements of Sampson and Crystal?” I ask sitting at the Alphas desk. I look at the Beta’s in front of me and they all smile. “We tracked them to a cave system not far from here. We believe they are waiting for the perfect moment to strike. We have already looked all over the territory for any weaknesses in our defences, but we could use more help.” I nod, listening to Marcus. Tapping my fingers on the desk, I pick up the office phone and dial Councilman Hayes. He answers on the fifth ring. Not that I’m counting or anything, but we need to be able to have time to get the vulnerable members to safety in

Titus POV.After Destinee entered the walk-in. I left the room and headed into the room where Fenrir was. He had finally broken out of the spell that held us in place.“I need your help. You and Destinee are right. I am pussy whipped, and I want to become who I am meant to be. Will you help me, brother?” I ask him and he approaches me with a smile on his face.“It won’t be easy. I will train you in my realm. You survive there, you will survive anywhere.” I furrow my eyebrows and he has already opened a portal just as Marcus, Kendra, and Sadia step into the room.“Where the fuck are you two going?” Sadia asks as she comes closer and peers into the portal and her eyes go wide. She turns her head to me and I nod. She shakes her head.“Well, are we leaving Destinee unprotected?” She asks, I go to answer her when Fenrir whistles and a large, scary looking hellhound walks out of the portal.He walks over to it and pats its head. “This is Anubis. He will protect her. Stay close to Destinee a

Titus POV.Watching what Orion was showing Destinee broke my heart. Even I didn’t know how he was feeling and that makes me feel like a really shitty person. My own wolf was depressed and scared and so I ignored him and made him weaker. This isn’t Destinee’s fault, this is mine.I should have been stronger. I should have protected him. We are meant to be one entity, but I ignored his suffering and made him weak. Well, not anymore.Orion used to be feared by all, the same as I was. But we lost our way when Destinee ran. It is in no way Destinee’s fault. She was scared of rejection and more abuse, so she ran. Aura would have known who I was, but her human was more important at that moment and getting Destinee to safety was paramount. Yes, I should have listened to Orion and followed after them, but I didn’t. That is on me, and my wolf paid the price and so did my pack.I was weak and so I clung to the first female who showed me love and attention and that is why it was so hard to believ
