Fear thrummed in Olivia's ears.

Now it was time to pay for her sharp pointed tongue. This time, he would not spare her and she would not blame him. After all, he had warned her about her insolence and impertinence over and over and she had refused to listen. She whimpered.

Titan noticed the whimpering as he drew her close to him. Undeniable sexual chemistry simmered in the air between them. Titan imagined inflicting physical hurt on her but quickly caught himself. A lifetime of training and battles had coalesced into a mastery of control and he would be damned if his mate was going to make him lose all that due to her stupid immature mouth.

In the tension-filled seconds between them, he had watched fear cloud her eyes and immediately resented her for thinking or believing that he would harm her. He released her and turned around, storming out of the dining room.

Olivia collapsed back on her chair nauseous with relief. He had not harmed her. He had not harmed her! She kept her hands

    Titan paid no attention to the gibberish. He laid her down on her bed and covered her with thick multi-colored blankets. Then he straightened up and looked down at her. She looked peaceful and even more vulnerable asleep. He looked around the room and realized it was his second time here. Weeks before her arrival, Titan had instructed some omegas to clean up and decorate the private room of the incoming Luna. But he had not supervised the process or come to see the finished work. His only business with the omegas involved payroll and off days. So even though they had done a good job, he could not recall them well enough to thank them.The following morning, Olivia resumed her silent war. She swept into the dining room without greeting or bowing. She raced through her breakfast and left before Titan had even begun eating. Over the next three days, Titan watched her as she chatted during long walks with Maya, and became friendly with the pack warriors, the omegas, and even the guard

    Olivia sat up properly, stifling the shock of seeing Titan. "What are you doing here?" she asked, looking up at him. Titan stood tall and formidable over the bed frame and watched her. She looked small, tired, and defenseless. He wanted to take her in his arms and shield her -even from himself."You were not at dinner,"Olivia sighed. "Look Titan, I'm not in the mood for your permission tantrums and…"He sat on the bed and moved closer to her. "It's okay," he soothed, much to Olivia's surprise. Then he leaned in and kissed her. Olivia sighed and wrapped her fingers around his shoulders and his strong back. Titan deepened the kiss and bit her lip slightly. That was all it took for the terrifying images to rush back. The dark fur, vapid fangs, and monstrous eyes. The roar she had heard, the fear that had rooted her to the spot as she watched a werewolf emerge from the shadows and shapeshift back into the man sitting here, kissing her. All the images came in a series of kaleidoscopic f

    Olivia took in the sight in front of her.Titan Black stood there with a murderous look on his face, and his sister whom he held in a tight iron-fisted grip was looking petrified for her life. It seemed like ever since she moved here, there was always a daily or weekly episode of drama. ‘’I am only going to ask this once, Olivia,’’ Titan thundered. ‘’Where is the bloody phone?’’Olivia was surprised as to how he must have known. Then her mind went to the guards. The bastards. Of course, they would have knowingly exposed her all in the name of "duty."‘’Are you deaf? Or just so stupid you cannot comprehend what I am saying?’’ Titan snapped. Olivia had never seen the man this incensed.Olivia avoided Maya’s pleading eyes and said nothing. Her defiant show-off made Titan livid with each second. A few moments later, Titan lost his cool. Drawers were upturned and smashed, her rug and mattress were sent flying, and her sofa was yanked away and thrown across the wall. Olivia was shocked at

    The screams tore through the Mansion.They had barged through her dreams and awakened her. At first, Olivia had been sure she was imagining things until she heard the screams ring out again, and again and again. She sat up perplexed. Beside her, Maya began to stir. "Can you hear that?" Olivia asked with urgency."Hear what?" Maya asked groggily. As though in response, the screams pierced the stillness of the air all over again. Maya blinked. "What's that?"Olivia shrugged. "I have absolutely no idea, it's just weird…"There was some level of suspicion on Maya's face. She had a vague idea about what was happening of course, but she hoped it was unreal. "I think I'd better get prepared for the day," Maya said, avoiding Olivia's eyes. "Okay, later?""Later. Take care,"*** The man was seated and tied up. Fatigue sat heavily on his face, side by side with the blood gushing from his nose and mouth. He was bloodied and beaten, but his spirit remained unbroken. Much to the annoyance of

    Olivia was shocked by the sight.Titan's arms were bloody, his eyes intense, and his whole demeanor projected a certain deadliness that was too much for her to absorb especially after what she'd just heard. Titan also stood at the end of the hallway, watching her and willing to make a move. It came in the form of Olivia turning around and running towards her bedroom for safety. Titan gave a hot pursuit. She made it into her room but as she tried to close the door, Titan pushed back with his shoulders and then his hands. Olivia cried out using all of her strength to push back but ultimately his physical strength superseded hers, and he pushed his way into the bedroom."Get out!" Olivia screamed. "Get out of here, you pathetic animal!"Titan walked closer oblivious to her screams, but a bit perplexed at her hostile reaction. A sheltered slave like her was unused to the sight of blood or the appearance of violence so he could at least understand her."Are you deaf?" Olivia asked. "I sa

    Even before she entered the dining room, she felt his eyes on her. Titan Black was the preeminent dark dominating force in every atmosphere he entered, and he effortlessly leached ease and freedom wherever he was. He made everyone cower, or think twice before speaking or acting. Having lived here for a while, Olivia was aware of the vital force of him -and she tried to avoid it as much as possible. Today she tried to avoid it by not looking at his face or his eyes. She sat in her regular seat and started dishing out her dinner. "Hello everyone!" A friendly voice boomed with vibrancy. Olivia was surprised. Dinner was always a silent monotonous ceremony and nothing more. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall well-built six feet man with broad shoulders, long dark effeminate hair, and intelligent hazel eyes.It was as though he had completely transformed the atmosphere, tearing through the darkness and infusing warmth.Maya smiled at him. "Hey Ryan, good to have you

    Olivia made her way back to her room, trying to convince herself of the opposite.It could simply be nothing but baseless gossip. Something unfounded that the omegas had to say just to keep their mouths busy while they worked. After all, as long as it had not been proven, it was not true. Yet the burning question remained. If it was indeed true that the omegas were lying, then what could have happened to the screaming spy? She recalled Maya's words:Titan does not forgive easily,Which meant it was unlikely he set the man free and then there was all that blood…She shook her head from side to side. It was hopeless thinking deeply about something not in her control and out of her bounds, oscillating between presumptions and nothing based on fact. There was just no point. Besides, if she did not want her mental health to take a beating, it was best to take her mind off things that could push her into a terrible state of mind. Perhaps it was best to bury her head in yet another book i

    While Titan's thoughts were engulfed in brutality, he did not notice Maya walking up to him."Where have you been all day?""Out," He replied, turning towards his study.Maya knew well enough not to ask more questions. "Olivia asked me something weird today," she reported.Seems Olivia was the major trending topic of today."Out with it," Titan commanded."She asked me how your mate died", Maya responded, avoiding his eyes. Titan turned to look at her sharply. "What? What did you say?""I suspect she's starting to pick up on some of the gossip that flies around.""I asked what you told her,""Of course, I didn't say anything, Titan, I shut the conversation down."Titan kept looking straight ahead absorbing the information. "Look it might not be my place but I think you should tell her." Titan turned to look at her. Maya took a step back and added cautiously. "That is if you want to,""I don't want to," Titan snapped. "And you stick to the domestic matters that concern you. Is that c

    EPILOGUE(Three years later)"Stop spilling that all over my painting!" Arielle cried for the third time. She turned to Olivia and commanded. "Tell him!" 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. "Well, they are kids it's their job,""Mom, please tell Nate to back off my painting," Arielle reported.

    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
