It was late when another orgasmic sex rattled them both. Through it all, Olivia had noticed that Titan was distracted. While it was still enjoyable as always, she had felt he was only fifty per cent present. "Felt like you weren't there and you were there at the same time," She said.He smiled. "I'm sorry milady, I'll do better next time,""Why do I get the feeling you are worried about Maya's pregnancy,"Titan looked away. "I'm not worried,"“Okay, then it shouldn't be difficult talking about how you feel,""How I feel has nothing to do with anything," Titan said. "Maya is my sister, she got some good news tonight, and I'm happy for her. That's it,""Do you have reservations about my brother's ability to take care of her?""Look, Olivia…”"Just answer the question," she said patiently."Fine, I do, yes,""Leo loves Maya, Titan, and he'll never hurt her,""This isn't just about love or care or hurt, If Leo is out there working to put food on the table and he's away all the time, then h
Titan waited outside as he watched Olivia enter Asher's car. She didn't look at him, as Asher manoeuvred the car out the compound and sped away. He was still standing in the same spot when Asher drove back and parked his car. "Don't tell me you stood here since then,"“I did," He shrugged."Why? Missing Olivia that much already?""I'm just nervous about tonight,""Is that why you sent Olivia away? Because you are nervous?""I told you I don't want her remotely connected to this at all. It's for her own safety,""I'm just saying it because I could see that she'd rather have stayed here with you,"“I don't know what's going to happen when this so-called leader comes in. I don't know who he is or what plans he has, death could be on the table for him. And it'd be me first because I'm going to be alone with the rogues.""Hey," Asher said, touching his friend's shoulder. "What is this fear? You can't be having such negative thoughts Titan, I mean it's you we are talking about here. You want
"Nice name," Asher said, beaming widely at her. She turned to him. "And you are?""Asher," he said, stretching out his hand. She took it and smiled back at him. "The famous mercenary, tell me where was the last place you fought in?""Iraq and Syria,""Tough places, care to tell the UN the paranormal world might need their help too?"Before Asher could give her a witty come back, Ryan spoke unnecessarily. "I think we are doing just fine for ourselves,""You must be the beta,""I see you have done your research," Titan said."I rely a lot on being well prepared.""Well, come on in," Titan said, ushering her in. Her men tried to follow her but Asher and Ryan stopped them. "No harm will come to her," Titan assured them."You all remember my signal don't you?" Calliope asked with a bewitching smile. The men nodded. Titan opened the door for her and let her in, before closing it back, leaving Ryan and Asher with her stone faced bodyguards. "So, how's it going?" Asher asked.The men sta
Maya was puzzled when she saw her brother. "Is it over? I expected Asher or Ryan to call in with news,""It's over," he confirmed. "Now are you going to let me in or what?""Sure come in, how'd it go?""Calliope is not a threat, but she's also not orchestrating the rogue attacks,""Calliope? A girl?""Yeah, ruler of her pack. Quite poised, and mature too,""So if she's not a threat… ""She's an ally,"Maya stared at her brother for a long while before she spoke. "And you trust her allegiance?""Why not?""What will be done about the real rogue spies?""Currently, they are in hiding so not much, but I will get them eventually. For now, where is Olivia?""Asleep," Maya informed."Where is her room?""Don't even think about waking her,""I just want to see her,""Right, come on,"Maya took him to the hallway and opened the second door on her right. Olivia was deeply asleep within the covers, her hair splayed on the pillows. The lights were off, but the street lights streamed in through cl
"You know, I've always dreamed of a baby shower," Maya said one afternoon when they were having chilled lemonade juice in the orchard. "So why haven't you had one?" Olivia asked. "Because it always felt like bad timing." she sipped her drink. "Like there has always been something going on," "Well, there's nothing going on right now is there? And you're getting heavier by the day. Very soon, you wouldn't be able to move around as much as before, it's now or never." "You make it sound like an ultimatum," "It is," Olivia said, opening a notepad app on her phone. "So let's get started," They decided the venue would be in the garden and since Maya said she had a premonition her child would be a boy, they decided on a lovely white and sky blue theme for flowers, banners, gift packages and thank you cards. Before they put together the guest list, Maya suggested they talk to Titan because it was impossible to bring in a crowd without informing him. Olivia realised at that moment that she
By late afternoon the party was already slowing down and coming to an end. Olivia watched Asher pull Titan by the side and speak to him privately in low tones. She didn't think much of it even when Asher announced he had to leave. Maya was tired from being on her feet for so long and eventually retired to have room with Leo. Ryan took Celine's hand and they both disappeared. Olivia sighed and started to pack up the gifts as well as tidy up the party scene. Titan came back inside and watched her for a bit."What are you doing?" he asked."Tidying up,"He came over and gently slid the gifts from her fingers. "Leave it alone and come with me,""But I have to-”"No, you're the luna so you don't have to do anything, leave it for the maids,""And let them steal things?"Titan smiled. "Are you trying to say I employ thieves?""Again, your words not mine,""Stealing is punishable by death," Titan assured her. "And they all know that, so don't worry, come with me,""Where are we going?""To the
"Missing?" Both Titan and Leo asked in unison.Celine's voice trembled as she spoke and everyone could hear it was hoarse with tears. "Olivia and I searched everywhere and we couldn't find her,""That's impossible, I left her sleeping soundly when the chaos started," Leo said.Titan wasn't going to stand around listening. He rushed upstairs, with Asher, Leo, and Ryan behind him and barged into her bedroom. The bed was empty. In fact there were no signs of a struggle. Only the door was ajar, as though someone stepped out and forgot to lock it. Titan called out his sister's name repeatedly, walking into her closet and her bathroom. Nothing. Leo stood frozen in the room unable to stop the shock from coursing through him repeatedly. He had left her here. He'd left her sleeping on the bed and now she was gone. The love of his life and his baby were at stake. No!Titan ran outside bellowing frantically to his guards. "My sister is missing!" Titan announced running hastily down the stairs.
Olivia wasn't sure she heard right. He didn't care? Titan who was always so defensive and excessively concerned about her security. Titan who she had just made love to last night before pandemonium ensued suddenly didn't care about her safety? "You don't care? What exactly do you mean by "you don't care?""Exactly what it means Olivia, take your brother to mount Everest, or move back in with him, I don't care. Don't bother me with such petty matters,""I understand that Maya's abrupt disappearance has been a lot to take in, but that doesn't mean you should be rude.""If I'm too impolite for you, how about you get going Olivia? Run along and go and babysit your big brother," he sneered."You ever think that maybe you have enemies due to your shitty attitude?" Olivia asked with spite. "Maybe Maya's kidnapping is a side effect of that too." She turned around and left, slamming the door behind her. Titan crashed a glass against the door and then the expensive bottle of Tequila. "Come on
