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
Titan scoffed. "Give me a break old man, you cannot see my soul,""I can see it now, just as I saw it clearly when you tossed me out of your palatial mansion after Andre and Celilia died. Oh, I see it like I saw it that fateful day. Cold and frigid, as Mount Everest ice.""I'm sorry about that,""Oh dear boy, are you?" Titan said nothing, watching his fixed dilated pupils as he spoke. "You can't blame me, magic killed my parents," he said defensively."Cyrus Carter killed your parents,""Using magic,""Using dark magic," Mellor clarified. "There is no evil in magic, dear boy, only in the hearts of men that use it. And despite your harsh one-sided judgement, here you are. Eager to use it's powers to save a person close to you,""It's my sister, she has disappeared. Possibly kidnapped or…" hesitated. "Killed,"Mellor stretched out his hands for the items. "Let's find out, shall we?"Titan watched him grab a small mortar and pestle. Muttering nonsensical words, and pouring a liquid on t
Olivia found herself lost in the kiss, wrapping her hands around his shoulders. Titan raised her up, wrapping her legs around him as he started to thrust in deep. Since the whole house was quiet their loud throaty moans reverberated through the house. "Stay the night," Titan begged but Olivia looked unsure. "I didn't tell Leo that I would be staying the night,""I'm sure Leo can handle himself,"Still I should call him and reassure him that everything will be alright,""Fine,"Olivia stepped outside the study, still reeling from the effect of their hot steamy sex. When her brother picked picked up the phone she hoped her voice wasn't quivering."Did you find him?" Leo asked."Uh-huh,""How's he?""Worried sick, I think I should stay with him tonight,""Are you sure he's mentally stable?"Olivia chuckled. "I can handle him,""Just stay safe, because I can't deal with something happening to both you and Maya at the same time.""I'll be fine brother, Titan won't hurt me, so please try t
"This isn't just a breakout, it's war," Titan asserted. "And we need to get ourselves, and the men ready for an attack."Leo looked at him oddly. "Look Titan, I'm not in support of stirring up trouble. I just want Maya back safe and sound.""Of course," Titan said in a tone thick with irritability. "And how do you suggest we do that dear Leo? Walk up to the pack, smile and ask for Maya nicely?" he sneered. "We can plan her escape," Leo said. "That's the sane thing to do, not going around planning a war."Titan stood up angrily. "They won't hand her over without a fight! And we have to be ready for one too. Don't believe me? I'll draw a map for you right now, and you can walk down to their territory and try to get Maya by asking. Of course you'll be dead before you string ten words together because that pack shoots first and then they ask questions later.""You can keep your sarcasm to yourself," Leo said coldly. "But the truth is that you cannot just match up there and throw a war in
It had been two arduous days of intense training. Two days of gruelling heavy combat, gun fights, and practising innumerable defence tactics under the sun, and even under the rain. Titan Black, the supreme commander was as always harsh and demanding when it was always time to train whether as a soldier or a werewolf. But even he had to admit that he was beyond exhausted. Exhaustion was as foreign and alien to him as being in space or amidst the stars and galaxies. He could never comprehend the concept, but there was no other way to explain that he had to roll out of bed every morning because his limbs would not cooperate and his muscles collectively groaned when it came to expending physical effort. If he was going to be in top shape for the war, he needed to rest.He was a nervous wreck too. It had taken a lot to admit that as well. The escape plan felt like the battle of a lifetime and whether they all triumphed or not, they would all come back forever changed. It could alter the co
Mellor was watching the men travel through a pond. It was complicated magic. One that could not be explained to the average mind. Even for a wizard of his pedigree, he would need to spend two days recuperating from such an arduous spell, but as long as Titan and his men were victorious, it would be well worth it. Besides his cherished friend, Andre Black would turn in the grave if he did not do everything in his power to aid his son through such a crucial time.On Titan's command, the men hid in the bushes at the first sighting of the border security men. Two minutes later, a knife throw hit one of the enemy guards and he fell dead without a sound. The other one was taken out from the back but fell with a scream. Titan cursed silently. He knew this would trigger suspicion or at least draw some attention and in an immediate response to his premonition, an alarm reverberated through the night. "Damn it!" Titan hissed. "Forward!" he commanded. The men hurried forward, but he stopped Leo
On Titan's orders, the surviving men, women, and children of the pack were rounded up."So what do we do?" Asher asked. "Kill them?""I didn't come here to commit mass murder," Titan said. "The main threats have been evicted, so we're taking them as captives of war." He turned to the soldiers. "Raid the palace for more spoils of war."The men hooted and cheered before racing back into the palace, carting away gold, and all the other valuable treasures they could find. "They'll come with us," Titan said, turning to his immediate soldiers, as well as Ryan and Asher. Asher was nodding his head in agreement, but Ryan spoke up. "Why take them with us? You're going to put children in the dungeons or what? I don't think that's fair. Why not leave them here and have someone watch over them?"Titan turned around and regarded him. "Great idea Ryan, why don't you do it since it's your idea? Stay here and watch over the precious kids."Ryan scowled. "I meant you should appoint someone to do it m
Olivia nodded, then turned to Maya and smiled. "I'm glad you're safe now, get some rest.""Thank you, Olivia,"She left the room and went downstairs to the courtyard, wanting to be the first person Titan saw when he returned. She had missed him. Leo had assured her everyone was alright and they had lost very few men, but she would believe it when she saw it. Hours passed, and still, the gate remained empty and dark, with no forthcoming person or vehicle."Hey," Someone whispered in the darkness. Olivia jumped in fright. "Relax, it's me," Leo said, crouching beside her. "Maya's finally asleep, you should do the same.""It's no use, I can't sleep a wink,""Olivia, Titan is fine.""I'll believe it when I see it,""I wouldn't lie to you,""I know, and I'm not saying you are, but I just need to see him.""You will,"There was a horn at the gate. Olivia stood up hurriedly, but Leo held her back. "Relax, it's Dr Caldwell, the pack's official doctor who came to examine her the other night and
