"Olivia!" he bellowed after her, running behind. Olivia did not want him to find her that fast until she had dealt with what she just saw and heard, but she knew he wouldn't stop anyway, so she slowed her steps on the staircase. Titan caught up with her easily. "Hey,"He turned her around to face him. "I didn't see you standing there,"She forced a smile. "I heard the shouts,""Right, look I didn't want you to see all that, after all I know how you feel about death and bloodshed. The spies were caught and it was necessary they were brought here immediately before they escaped.""I understand and you don't have to apologize for having to do what you have to do," She said understandingly."Glad you understand," he replied with a smile, as he leaned in to kiss her."I also understand you are the pack's main protector, which is why occasionally you have to take a person's life, and which is why you must also understand that seeing you kill is hard for me,""I know and I was hoping you wou
"Rosalie!" Titan shrieked commandingly. "Get up!"She moved sleepily at the sound of his voice but didn't wake up. Titan angrily walked into her bathroom, got a bowl of water and tossed it on her face. She woke up disoriented, yelling, swearing out loud and looking around in confusion."Titan? What is the meaning of this?!""What on Earth do you think you are doing planting your crap in Olivia's head? Are you trying to separate us? Are you crazy!""What on earth are you talking about?""You know what I'm talking about!" Titan shouted. "What right do you think you have to tell her about Miriel?""What right? Miriel was my best friend,""And so bloody what? Is that why you think it was your story to tell? It wasn't your place!""And was it your place to take her life?" Rosalie asked defiantly, tossing the covers and standing up. "You go around living life like you're a god. No one dares to defy you, or disobey you and then you kill whoever you want wherever you want! And my friend Miriel
Maya poked her head into the study and watched them kissing. "Oh great, you guys are good now," Maya said."Didn't I ever teach you how to knock?" Titan asked."Uhm, I don't know, did you?" she turned to Olivia. "Come on, we are going out,""We are?" "Yeah, we're going shopping,""You know I've got access to all the accounts right?" Titan asked. "Including yours?""What is your point brother?""You spent fifteen thousand dollars on your last shopping trip.""Uh-huh, yeah, so?""You better start gearing up so you can learn how to run a business if you want to keep up with this luxury lifestyle,""Businesses are for you. I already have my hands full with being a beauty and style icon. Besides I haven't shopped in almost two months and when I was on that hiatus, you had nothing to say.""You should at least keep a tab on all the investments I made for you and the dividends."She rolled her eyes. "Fine,""And if you surpass ten thousand today, I'm putting a leash on that account.""Fiftee
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
