The meeting seemed to be going on forever. As King, Titan Black had been in countless meetings. He even liked them. They were strategic, efficient, and productive. But today, this particular meeting felt like a bore.

The other Alphas seemed fine, moaning and complaining about the problems in their pack. From conflict to a lack of communication and collaboration, to avoiding human territories…

Titan hardly ever dealt with anything by complaining first. He was a hands-on problem solver and solution provider. When something happened, the last thing on his mind was gathering other kings to complain. It showed a total lack of discipline and weakness.

As a ruler, Titan believed it was best to only trust your instincts. The dream of every king was to attain and retain more power and influence. In the paranormal world, one easy way to do that was to have grand expansionist ambitions. And it is easy to expand once you know the territorial secrets of another pack.

    Titan woke up with streaks of sunlight on his face. The first thing he did was reach for Olivia and it angered him how much he was getting attached to her. He sat up and noticed she wasn't there. He touched her side of the bed hoping to feel her warmth but it was not there, which meant she had woken up for a while. He washed his face, shaved, and took a shower before heading downstairs. Even before he reached the kitchen, he heard laughter reverberate through the house. Olivia. He caught her scent. It wasn't the first time he heard her laugh, even though she hadn't actually laughed at his words or actions, he had heard her laugh when she and Ryan spoke or when Asher teased her. But there was something about this one that made a small smile creep on his lips. He schooled his face into a blank mask. The sound came from the kitchen along with the delicious smell of confectioneries. They made his stomach groan. He stood watching the camaraderie between Celine and Olivia for a minute

    Ryan had joined them for breakfast. Olivia was not sure about when he had driven down here but she was grateful to have another familiar face at breakfast. He smiled at her even though he sat on the other end of the table. There was another Alpha and his family along with Marcus's family, then Titan, Ryan, and Olivia. Olivia looked at the other Alphas with their families and she was struck by the fact that she and Titan were the only ones there without children. She had always wanted kids for as long as she had known. As a child, she had stolen Charlotte's dolls to play with, and even the horrific beatings from Penelope did nothing to diminish her desires. But the thought of having kids with Titan was far-reaching. She was not even a hundred percent happy with him. Why bring kids into the mix? And was she supposed to have a child who would bear witness to Titan's unabashed and unapologetic killings? Hell no. The man was not ready to be a father. Though she was sure he had consid

    Titan had not given one more thought to Olivia's fury. She would get over it. Ryan stopped by the house in the evening and came straight to the office. After the pleasantries, he went straight to the point. "Asher contacted me while I was still at Marcus's house," Ryan informed him. "He'll be here soon with the vital information that we need." "Splendid," Titan responded, not taking his eyes off his laptop. It was a good thing Asher has gone back to his mercenary work but not without putting his ears to the ground and getting all the vital pieces of intel they needed. "He sounded a bit worried though," Ryan said. "I'm sure whatever it is, we can handle it," Titan grumbled. "Did you enjoy your time at Marcus's place?" Ryan asked. "It was fine but I'll bet Olivia enjoyed it more than I did," Titan said. "Why? Because she bonded with Celine?" "Yeah, she seems to have a special talent for being people-oriented," Titan said. "While that is not something you lack, maybe you sho

    Olivia had stayed up through the night. As much as she hated to feel pity for herself, it was evident that Titan would stop at nothing to see her miserable with his uncontrollable need to dominate and control her. It was almost like an obsession which would have been fascinating if it also wasn't somewhat annoying. He would not let her go out on her own, he would not let her own a mobile phone, and if it was up to him, she would probably not communicate with any of his friends either. Locked up, sheltered, and kept away like an incarcerated rat. No one had it this bad. She was determined to avoid him as usual and not indulge his excesses. If she wanted peace she had to be left alone to bask in her solitude like always. Maya came into her bedroom at that moment, and Olivia rearranged her face into a smile. "I designed an elaborate board game for us to play," She announced. "Sounds awesome," Olivia said with a smile. "Still feeling sorry about your party?" "Not really, I have to

    The chauffeur loaded a few bags in the trunk of the car. Olivia had wanted to ask how many days they would be staying, but she was still too angry at Titan to speak to him. Maya had come downstairs to bid them goodbye. "Make sure you enjoy yourself okay?"Olivia gave her a wry smile. "I'll do my best,""Don't do your best, make sure you enjoy yourself okay?"Olivia gave a short laugh. "Alrighty,""I'll call Celine or Titan just to be sure you guys are safe," She hugged Olivia. "And don't think too much if Titan decides to act again like an asshole.""I heard that," Titan announced.They both ignored him and still hugged each other one more time."If you are both done with the lovey-dovey can we get going?" Titan asked impatiently. Olivia rolled her eyes and got into the car. "Take care, Titan," Maya said."You take care of the house," Came the gruff response. As the car roared to life and swept away from the house, Olivia asked why Maya couldn't come. "It's the house of a revered

    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. Just because Olivia doesn't have her

    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

    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. Nathaniel who had gone to sit in front of the television, was now studiously staring at the cartoonish figures with intense concentration when Maya glanced a

    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
