Titan stood up. A maid gave another maid a sly smirk. This was more salacious than any drama in the cinemas right now. All everyone needed was to be served popcorn and drinks.

"Excuse me? Your what?" Titan asked. "Answer me, Maya, goddammit,"

"You heard me, Titan," Maya said boldly. "So let him go,"

"This is nonsense," Titan said dismissively.

"No, it's not, and as a werewolf, I think you know how mating works, don't you?"

"You're going to have to do better than that if you are going to explain why this asshole is your mate," Titan said, glancing at Leo who was now standing tall and straight, looking at Maya. The longer this dragged on and he stood there, the stronger he became.

"I don't know how to explain it, I just got to know today when you dragged him in here. I took one look at him, and I knew," Tears stung her eyes but she blinked them away. "What am I supposed to say, Titan? He is my mate,"

Titan swore, throwing his glass of whiskey across the wall. The drama was too much for

    Titan burst into his study angrily. He locked the doors to get a grip on his bearings. The effrontery she had to compare him to her low-grade father who had the unfortunate legacy of being remembered as a sick twisted murderer. A man who had so much charm and enviable charisma he could draw in anyone effortlessly. But the moment they crossed him, he would weave a complex torturous web of manipulation, tighten it inexorably until it metamorphosed into murder and incomprehensible destruction. His modus operandi was almost preternatural. To date, no one knew the intricate details that culminated into the gruesome murder of Andre and Cecilia Black. It had all remained enshrined in intrigue and mystery. Well, he was a killer. It came with the territory and the title. Hell, establishing himself as King had come at the cost of several killing sprees. He was lethal and ruthless, but at least everyone knew him for what he was. He didn't pretend to be who he wasn't, weaving unsuspecting m

    Two whole days had passed, and yet Olivia Carter remained in her self-imposed isolation. Other than taking a shower, she'd done nothing but sit by her windows and watch life go by. She couldn't bear to see the face of Titan Black or anyone else related to him. The only person she yearned to see was her brother and of course, he was out of her reach. Titan had made sure of it and she wondered if there was anything to salvage from their singed, scorched earth relationship. It would take a mountainous miracle for her to get past everything and still stay sane not to mention rekindling anything with the catalyst of it all.There was a tentative knock on the door, and then a heavier one. Olivia listened but made no attempts to move forward and open it. Whoever was knocking would eventually get tired of knocking and leave. "Olivia? Please open up the door, please?" It was Maya and although the pleading note in her voice was evident, Olivia knew it would take more than pleas to extricate

    Titan stalked out of the dungeons in anger. Needing something to channel his inner rage, he went to the training ground and gym, where he started to box out his frustrations and fired some shots from a gun. A stupid poor church rat like Leo had the audacity to defy him and even make demands? Self-preservation was the strongest instinct in any creature. Once that instinct was overcome, there was nothing more to lose and once there was nothing more to lose, the victim became powerful. Perhaps, Olivia was all Leo had left to lose. However, somehow he knew Titan would never hurt a hair on Olivia's head. Which gave him a much bigger advantage. Titan increased his exercises in intensity. Hours later, when he was back to boxing, he felt a presence in the gym. "Hey, how did it go with Leo?" Asher asked from behind."I'd rather not talk about it, and as you can see I'm busy,""Busy sweating out your frustrations with a punching bag? Well, yeah that says a lot about how it all went down.""

    "You okay?" Asher asked with concern. She managed a convincing smile. "I'm fine, thanks for looking out,"He looked up, noticing she was running away from Titan, and glared at his friend. Hadn't he put this girl through enough?"Did he say or do anything to hurt you?"She shook her head much to his relief. "It's okay Asher, I'm fine,"He hugged her and kept his arm around her shoulders as they walked indoors together. Titan watched them until they were out of sight before sullenly walking back to his study. Upstairs, he decided it was time to put Leo and Olivia out of his mind. That he had been preoccupied with them did not mean the rogue spies' problem had miraculously vanished. It was still there - a towering and unsolved mystery. And it was time to bring about something creative that would put them to death once and for all. They needed to be captured so that the kingdom would finally be at peace. If he, the king, did not feel safe, how could he expect his subjects to feel the s

    "I don't understand why you can't see the benefits," Asher said, perplexed. "You might be surprised at the enormous information he has that could be of tremendous help.""And that's not all," Ryan said. "Finally, you can have some peace, close this chapter, and move on for good,"Titan looked up in disbelief. "Move on? You think this is just something I can move on from?" He asked with controlled fury. "Cyrus murdered my parents in cold blood. He wanted to wipe away their legacy. Thanks to him, Maya and I were out in the cold, confused and helpless for several years. Do you have any idea what that did to me?""We didn't mean it like that and you know it," Asher said. "We are just pointing out-""To hell with whatever you are pointing out. Just get out of here, both of you. Neither of your parents is even dead, so how could you hope to understand?"Ryan was about to say something, but Asher shushed him and signaled that they should leave."This is affecting him more than we ever though

Maya asked."Yeah," Olivia said. "Go back to Leo and tell him I'm begging him to give Titan all the intel he has! This instant!""Olivia, are you okay? Where is all this coming from?" Maya asked, puzzled."Titan just humiliated me," she burst out, giving into tears. "And he had the effrontery to gloat that Leo's freedom is in his hands. I'm tired, okay? I just want my brother to be free. I can't take this level of unhappiness anymore,""Shhh," Maya said, comfortingly drawing her into a hug. "It's okay, I'm sorry, okay? I'll go tell him."The guards exchanged curious looks before reopening the iron doors, and letting Maya go through. They shut the doors and stared at Olivia who had moved a distance, with pity."You're back," Leo said in surprise. "I understand you miss me but isn't it a bit too soon?"Ma

    Maya stared at him in shock. "You'd kill him after he has proved he can be relied upon by giving you the information you so desperately needed?""Well, there is no need to put words in my mouth," Titan said. "I didn't mention anything about a kill,""But you insinuated it,""You want to believe I insinuated it," Titan corrected. "Now go get some rest, because I need to continue with my work,"Maya stood up and walked towards the door, then as though a thought occurred to her, she stopped abruptly, clutching the door handle. "You know what Titan, you need to stop living such a miserable existence and projecting your unhappiness on others. People already have their own struggles so don't add to it. It's no one's fault if you choose to immerse yourself in a world of gloom forever just because you aren't ready to face the things going on around you."Titan stared at her blankly, unsure of how to respond until she walked out.Ten minutes later, he was pondering angrily on her words, berati

    Ninety-Five Maya and Olivia froze. They had been too preoccupied to hear his footsteps on the thickly carpeted hallway. Now, they both stood looking as guilty as sin. Titan noticed the envelope that was now in Maya's hand and snatched it."Titan…"He opened the contents of both letters, reading them, and with each second that passed his face tightened. Clutching them tightly, he turned around without a word to either of them and marched downstairs to the dungeons. Maya raced after him, calling him in vain. Olivia's heart was pounding like a drum. What would he do to Leo? What would he do to her?The guards looked up, perplexed at the trio. Titan, silent and enraged, and his mate and sister looking helpless. It was past midnight and they had been expecting to retire for the night, but they had seen Titan enraged too many times to ask any questions. They simply looked straight ahead as always, even when Olivia ran into the dungeons behind Titan and Maya.Titan marched straight to Leo,

And just like that she began to cry.Olivia looked up wearily. "Nate, would you be kind enough to leave Arielle's paintings alone please, don't you have yours?"Nate, a cherubic, vibrant bubbly kid with dark hair and his father's gray eyes piped up. "It's fun mom!""There's nothing funny about destroying your cousin's painting Nathaniel. You're ruining her hardwork." Olivia reprimanded."What's with all the noise?" Maya asked as she walked in. "Oh thank goodness!" Olivia said with relief throwing her eyes towards the heavens. "These kids are driving me insane!"Maya smiled.

    Rumours were rife throughout the house that Titan and Miriel were both talking privately in his home office. The omega maid he'd directed to go and fetch her had told all the others in the kitchen, and when Asher had gone to help himself to some snacks, he heard them talking about it with so much excitement that he had to inform Maya. Maya had suggested they keep it away from Olivia, but Olivia had found out anyway. She had retreated to the orchard, where there was a swing meant for kids, but she sat down on it, thinking of Miriel and Titan all alone in the office. Logically she knew they had to talk and iron out the intricate issues of the past. Emotionally, this logic was hard to swallow. Like the brain explaining endlessly to the heart. "There you are," Asher said out of the blue.She looked up. "I was hoping not to be found,""It's a big ginormous house but there is only a number of places you can hide,""So what are you hiding from?" she asked."Me? Nothing, you?""I'm not hidi

    Asher led Olivia away. Miriel watched them from the foyer noting the bulge of the other woman's stomach. She'd heard rumors about her and about how smitten Titan was with her. Back in her bedroom, Olivia sat down on the couch in her balcony. Her Olive eyes stared up the ceiling looking at nothing. Asher watched her for a while. "Are you okay?""My husband's ex-girlfriend just made an appearance from the grave and you're asking me if I'm okay?""It's a lot to take in," he agreed. "But I don't think she's a threat,""Why not?" "Because she called me herself, told me she wanted to see Titan and talk to him.""I'm not sure I can agree she's not a threat Asher. Why appear now? If she's been in the Kingdom, she heard of our wedding. Of my coronation. Why is she just coming now when she has been alive all this time if she doesn't have ulterior motives?""I don't want you to worry your head about this Olivia, mental anxiety is one of the things Harley warned us about.

    "Better leave here to go check on my wife. Does anyone know how she's feeling by the way?" He asked, eyes darting between both of them.Titan and Olivia tried to talk at once, but only ended up stuttering. "You haven't checked on her have you?" Leo asked accusingly."Hey she's asleep, and Harley gave explicit instructions not to disturb her," Olivia said."Yeah, what she said," Titan added unnecessarily. "More like you have both been too busy playing sex games to check on her,""Hey don't act all moralistic pretending you and Maya don't schedule booty calls in weird parts of the house. Did you think my chief guard didn't see you when you guys were doing it at the back of the dungeons? I'm surprised you guys didn't even care about the captives." Titan said.Olivia turned to Leo looking pleasantly surprised. "Wow brother, you're into kinks like that?"Leo glared at both of them before stomping out. Olivia and Titan fell over each other in fits of laughter."Hey bro don't worry you can

    Summer was converging at it's end. The skies were no longer encumbered with the beautiful western sunrise, and propitious rainfall meant to usher in the winter had been falling continuously. Titan Black was lost in thought as his chauffeured Rolls Royce cruised on the highway.Troubled thunderheads had sprung up and were already erasing the early sun from the skies, but he barely noticed. He was just coming back from his final meeting with the other packs who had been pressuring him to release the captives and give the members of the golden truce pack back their lives. Finally, after months of tension, back and forth accusations and counter accusations, coaxing, and cajoling, the captives and his opposers were finally on the same page. The Golden truce pack and Silver Crest pack would be merged into one, under Titan's hegemonic control as their sole leader. There was equally signed documentation by each party that gave him the authority to not just annex their territory, but to pres

    "Olivia!"His hysterical shouts caused Maya, Celine and Ryan to rush into the room at breakneck speed. "What's going on?" someone asked. Titan didn't turn to see who it was. "S…She's not waking up," He managed to respond."Someone get Harley!" Ryan shouted."Harley is out," Maya said."Out? Out to where?" Titan demanded roughly. "She's getting some things for me from the market,""Goddamnit!" Titan swore."Titan, why not take a deep breath and check if she still has a pulse?" Celine suggested.In his paranoia and destability, Titan had forgotten completely. He checked her pulse and heartbeat. "It's all there but it's weak," he announced."Oh no," "Maya I need you to get Harley on the phone right now," Titan ordered. "Tell her to rush down here at once. It's an emergency,""Sure, of course," Maya said, scurrying out of the room.Ten minutes later, Harley came in. Yet for Titan, the waiting had felt like an age. And he had not been able to stay calm. Fear constricted his chest. What i

    Leo slept beside Maya on the bed where she had birthed their child. Olivia sat in the far corner, rocking the child silently. The doctors had all gone to sleep in freshly prepared quarters. Olivia sat alone with the baby rocking her gently."Arielle, Crystal Black, welcome," she said gently. "And just like your name connotes, you are as bright as the moon."The following morning, Olivia called Titan while everyone else was having breakfast. "You'll never guess who came into the world last night," she said with a smile."I can't believe I missed her birth because of partisan politics," Titan said with a tone of regret. "How are they?""Mother and baby are just fine. Oh, you should see her Titan, her features are unbelievable. She's going to grow up to be such a beauty.""Well, she's got good genes," Titan said."Hold up, is that an indirect compliment towards my brother?" He chuckled. "I don't know what you are talking about but I'll be home tomorrow sweetheart,""You better be," she c

    One week later, Titan was still not back. But Olivia had made sure she spoke with him on the phone each day, ending each call with how much she loved and missed him. She told him about her lessons with Mellor, animating her stories with everything she had and not skipping out on any anecdotes. Titan felt the meetings were getting more protracted, but he did his best to hide his displeasure. He was on the opposing side and he needed to prove his point and himself. The captives as free men were a threat to his kingdom.Surely they had to see that. But the other packs did not see it. They insisted that if any attacks were launched at him after he freed the captives, they would come together as one and fight by his side. A great suggestion, except that Titan Black didn't get where he was by putting his fate in the hands of others. And that was his main argument. Everyday, he discussed this with Olivia and Asher, who was in the heart of Gaza fighting alongside the Israelis. "You all hav

    The party stayed on till dawn. But Olivia and Titan sneaked out early, simply to have their first intimate copulation as royals. It was still surreal and still hard for her to believe and accept that in the space of a year, she had gone from the depths of slavery to the heights of royalty. The lovemaking between them was orgasmic and heated as always. So intense that it was hard to tell when time passed and how much time had passed. The following morning when she opened her eyes, Titan was gone, and she kept her hands on his side of the bed for awhile to savour his warmth, before getting out of the bed to prepare for the day. No doubt, Mellor would eagerly make an appearance today to start his lessons and she had to appear as a sharp, incisive and inquisitive student with the most brilliant of minds. Downstairs, she found Harley and Maya seated behind the massive kitchen counter, drinking fresh orange juice from the pitcher between them."No breakfast?" Olivia asked pouring herself
