Titan shifted uncomfortably in his seat.

"In all honesty Marcus, while I understand your concern and I'm grateful for it, I do not like to discuss my personal life with anyone. And to answer your question, I am not considering a replacement for Olivia." He wanted to add something more but no matter how great his affections were, he was unwilling to disclose them.

Marcus nodded. "It's alright, I just thought of talking with you about it. You should get some rest."

Titan nodded and they both shook hands. "Thank you, and goodnight."

Marcus watched him leave and sat down thoughtfully in his study for a long time.

When Titan got upstairs, he noticed Olivia was already asleep. He removed his shirt and slid into bed with her. Reaching for her, he held her close and kissed the nape of her neck. She moved slightly but did not wake up.

Even though he was physically tired, Titan was too alert mentally, to go to bed. Questions were all over his mind.

    The car skidded to a halt in front of the gates. "Get down," Titan ordered. "Aren't you coming?" Olivia asked. "I have to go meet Ryan," Titan said urgently. "What about my things?" "When I get back, the omegas will take them out and bring them upstairs." "Don't be long," Olivia said, but Titan did not respond. The second she was out of the car, he spoke to the chauffeur. "Step on it," The car zoomed off with the speed of light and Olivia watched till they were out of sight. Maya was waiting for them at the door, but she was unsurprised when she saw a solitary Olivia make her way through to the mansion. "Ryan told me you would be coming," Maya said as though trying to explain her presence. Olivia chuckled. "I can imagine," she stood with Maya. "You should have seen the way Titan hustled us out of there." "Yeah, the situation is life and death," Maya explained. "Must have triggered his alarms," "It's all so horrible," Olivia said with a shudder. "I hope they find who is p

    The infuriating asshole. He had sent an omega to her room that evening to fetch her, knowing that she was capable of completely missing dinner just to annoy him. When she appeared at the door of the dining room, Maya, Asher, and Ryan were already there. Titan smiled. "How nice of you to join us, Olivia?" He asked mockingly. Olivia did not smile. She simply walked into the room, sat down, and pretended as though Titan Black did not exist. "Been reading anything lately Olivia?" Ryan asked. "Not exactly, I've been too busy taking orders from Titan, you see," Titan acted as though he couldn't be bothered by anything she said, but there was a look of amusement on the faces of Ryan and Asher. "Is this guy bothering you?" Asher asked, referring to Titan. Olivia smiled while lifting a cup of wine to her lips. "When is he ever not a bother?" She spoke to the rest of them, making small talk and desultory conversation until Titan spoke again. "Do you all know it is rude to speak while

    It was a dream, but it felt so real. Or perhaps it could be viewed as a nightmare. Titan had found himself in a pool of blood and with his hands soiled, as he stood halfway in the waters looking at his palms in wonder. Around him, dead werewolves floated on the surface of the waters. His eyes fluttered open in shock. He sat up, unsuccessfully trying to compose his trembling. Titan stood up from the bed still shaking. He lit up a Cuban cigarette and went to the verandah to smoke. Years ago, he had learned the stupidity of ignoring his dreams. They would usually eventually come to pass no matter how long it took. He'd dreamt about his father's death a decade before it had happened. This dream signified one thing: Things were fast getting out of hand. And if they were not tackled on time, the result would be a bloodbath. A bloodbath that would neatly shrink both his rule and his legacy. Titan shuddered. For the first time in his life, he was confronting a nameless, faceless lethal

    The morning was windy. Olivia had shown up for breakfast, only to find Asher there. "Morning sunshine," he greeted. Olivia dished some oatmeal and spent time putting a lot of fruits on it. "Hey Asher, where is Maya?" "She uh…went shopping." "Shopping?" "Well, she said she was long overdue for some new stuff. Shoes, bags, and the likes." "Oh, I see," "That's basically all she does with Titan's money. Shops till she drops." Olivia managed a small smile. She wished she could shop too. She and Asher engaged in small talk, but then he finished his breakfast before her and left the dining room. Olivia looked around, feeling more alone than ever. The more she taught about it, the angrier she was at Titan for leaving her here. And then yesterday, he had been calling her. Calling her for what exactly? She left the dining room and moved upstairs. She had planned to go to her own bedroom, but on an impulse, she went to Titan's bedroom. Everything was as it should be. Neatly laid shee

    It was dinnertime. Both Maya and Olivia kept Asher well entertained during dinner with amusing anecdotes. Maya mostly took the lead, after all, she had more anecdotes up her sleeve seeing as she had more exposure. "So I brought Scrabble with me earlier," Asher revealed after the omegas had come to clear up the dishes. "Anyone want to play?" Maya glanced at Olivia, unsure about what to say. This would affect their secret plans. "You're my first choice, Olivia, I mean with all that literary knowledge, I bet your proficiency with vocabulary is off the charts," Asher said knowingly. "Well, you're right," Olivia said with a smile. "And ordinarily I love an intellectual show off but tonight, I've got a raging headache." "Oh well, too bad. I guess I'll have to make do with Maya then," He turned to her. "What say you?" Maya burst out laughing. "You once referred to me as a klutz with a credit card. All I do is shop and club, remember?" "Right," Asher said. "Well, I'd better get some sl

    What pumped his rage and fury was the recollection of the last twenty-four hours. EARLIER Titan stared at the phone in his hand as he was once again, for the umpteenth time, pushed to voicemail. The only thing that stopped him from flinging it at the wall was that he certainly was not the type to incur unnecessary expenses. But honestly, what was Olivia's problem anyway? Why was she refusing to speak with him? Titan turned around to go meet with the other Alphas. As he strolled, he once remembered something his father had told him years earlier. "Women are naturally enigmatic. They will puzzle you endlessly but it's always part of what makes them tick." Titan wasn't so sure what exactly made Olivia tick. He had searched his mind endlessly but he wasn't sure what he had done to trigger this level of snobbery. Unless of course, she was holding onto the atrocities of the past. Something she did with finesse anyway. That was why she brazenly told Asher, that he, Titan Black could

    "I'm going to be needing the pack soldiers," Titan said once they were back in the living room. He couldn't wait anymore. Not when Olivia was out there, probably in danger. His jaw tightened at that. Asher and Ryan exchanged a look. Titan looked over. "What is the hesitation for?""It's just late," Asher said slowly, gauging Titan's expression."And I don't care. I am King and I will not tolerate anything less than obedience. This cannot wait till morning, because it's a bloody emergency."It was an emergency. Olivia was his Luna. The Lycan King's Luna and if anything were to happen to her…if anyone was to touch her…Titan shook his head. He didn't even want to imagine that.Ryan started upstairs. "I'll place a call to them,"Asher and Titan were alone in a bubble of silence. "And you," He turned to Asher and glared. "How could you let them slip away from underneath your nose?" Titan demanded. "You couldn't watch two girls? Just two girls, Asher,""Women," The man corrected with a win

    When she woke up, her head felt like it would explode. She grabbed her head and massaged her temples. Olivia hated the sunlight flooding in through the windows. Somehow they added to her headache. She slowly sat up in bed and checked out the time. Ten o'clock. Well, breakfast must be long over. Titan must be pissed. She chuckled at that. She rolled around in bed wishing the pounding in her head would stop, wishing the curtains could just close magically, but they didn't and Olivia cursed, grabbing her head in pain once again. Finally accepting that sleep had slithered away, she sat up. The events of the night came rushing back in a series of flashes. From makeup, to sneaking out, to the club, and then her drunken escapades that made Maya decide the night was over. Then to the house and recalling the argument with Titan and the striptease. The striptease made her cringe. The words they'd hurled at each other last night had blacked out of her memories but oh she recalled the drun

    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
