Titus Bane
This can’t be happening. This can’t be fucking happening! Not her, not my little sister, the only family I have left.
Fuck. Fuck, I can’t control my anger and my confusion. Just a few hours ago we were having the best time of our lives together. Trinity had never experienced so much snow and such a beautiful winter and even if she was slightly cold, this didn’t stop her from having fun. This didn’t stop her from creating memories with Neo and everyone.
Now… Now she was lying down on the bed, her body shaking uncontrollably and white foam forming in her mouth.
I was stunned. I didn’t know what to do. My body was frozen still and everything around me was spinning.
River Colden“I swear to the goddess, you better have a damn good reason as to why you’re dragging me all the way to the border or else I’m kicking your ass, Ass-pen.” I threatened my Gamma who was walking in front of me, leading me to the area he said I had to see.“Oh it’s valid alright. It’s as valid as a five foot seven silver-haired woman.” He said in a tone and with an expression like he knew something I didn’t and I hated whenever that was the case.Though I hated it even more knowing that the longer I was here outside, the longer Keira was inside with Titus completely alone. It wasn’t that I had anything against the man–he did
I was at a complete loss for words.Here was the man that I had been in love with since before I even knew what love meant. The man that I grew up with, that I talked to for Goddess knows how long, and the one person I knew deep in my heart I wanted to end up with.He was confessing his devotion to me, telling me that from here on out, I could have everything I have ever dreamed of. Everything until that day five years ago.The old Keira then would drop everything to accept his offer. The Keira that had always been head over heels for Alpha River Colden.But the Keira now is different. I may choose to be a White Howler again, but I’m not choosing to be
Titus Bane I stepped outside and walked and walked until I felt like I was far enough. My heart was beating a mile a minute and it felt like it was going to explode any second now. Seeing Keira and River in that position, so close to each other, and it being embedded in my brain like a curse just threw me into a spiral. To make things worse, River wants to have Keira as his mate and Luna. How could I have been so stupid? How could I have been so blind? It was right in front of me this whole time. Hell, it’s not like they even tried to hide it. River may have broken Keira’s heart many years ago, but Keira had been in love with him for far more. He may have done all that shit to her, but at the end of the day, they had the past. River was everything to Keira, and it’s not like it couldn’t happen again. Then there was me. The man she just met a few months ago. I may be her m
River Colden The sun was starting to set and before we knew it, there would be little to no light and finding Keira under this lake would be close to impossible. Not that it wasn’t already, and fuck, I hate myself for thinking that way. I wanted to stay positive, but it was so goddamn hard when we’ve been out here frantically looking for any signs of her. I didn’t know how much I would loathe frozen lakes until today. “I don’t see her, River! I don’t see her!” I heard my brother’s desperate cries as he was on his knees, pushing away the snow that had covered most of the lake. Titus was doing the same, but he hasn’t said a single word since Ivy pointed out where Keira was. He was the first one to drop down to his knees and start searching. Until now, even while it was happening, I still couldn’t believe that it was true, that Ivy could do something so… so fucked up as to
“Tri, can we please watch something else besides Frozen 1 and 2?” Neo, my little boy who was now six years old, turned to his best friend and gave her a pleading pout. Trinity giggled as I brushed her long red hair from behind. She was seated on my lap while Neo changed position every ten minutes as he got bored of the never-ending girly Disney movies we watched. In one year, gone are the days that he was completely absorbed with watching any Disney movie. I can’t believe how much he’s grown, but I will never get tired of seeing the changes that happen to him, physically and emotionally. I smiled at the boy whose raven hair was starting to get lighter. The streaks of silver on his hair are mixing in and it’s probably because of the fact that he’s been living in the winter season day in and day out for the past year. His complexion is lighter and his cheeks are as pink as a rose petal that I can’t help but stop and stare at him for a while because everyday, it’s like he looks more a
I was seated by the tree, the exact one Syvne and Roman found me and saved me from. I was just there in silence as I held on to the pure golden necklace that had the Japanese words ‘狼霊気’ meaning Healing Wolves formed on it. This was the keepsake Sho Chiaki, the guy from Titus’ Pack that knew about my family, gave to me. He said everyone in my Pack had it and when he found out his parents had kept it all those years ago, he knew he had to give it to me. As I sat there, thinking about them, it all still felt surreal, but at the same time, I also felt calm and at peace knowing about who they are and what they did for me on that night. I could have lived a life never knowing about their existence and a part of me would have always had an empty spot, but because I met Titus and in turn Sho, I was given the opportunity to learn about them and I will always be thankful for that. And though my heart pains for what happened to them and how they didn’t deserve that, I will live my life to
(This chapter includes sexual elements. Reader discretion is advised.) – Titus Bane – Everything is calm. So calm that it feels rather weird after everything that has happened. Chaos and destruction is all I have ever known for the most part, but now that I’m settled down at my place in my Pack, just watching the once green leaves now a mix of orange, yellow, and other Autumn colors sway with the wind, everything feels…peaceful. I closed my eyes and took a deep inhale, the smell of nature filled my senses and it invigorates me. An image of her pops up in my head almost like second nature to me. She is beautiful. The most beautiful woman to ever exist on this earth, and that’s saying a lot because this earth could be ugly and cruel, but not her, not my mate. Sometimes I still wonder what I had done in my past life to deserve someone as perfect as her, and I stop and think if this is just a dream, if everything in my life is just my imagination, and if it was, I hope to never wake
“You pathetic whore!” One slap across the right side of my face. I pursed my lips as I stopped myself from shedding any tears. Not again. Not anymore. “How dare you show your vile face in front of me? Seeing you disgusts me, Keina!” Another slap, this time on the left side. My cheeks begin to feel numb and at the same time, I feel it starting to get swollen. I already know this will make me look awful in the next coming minutes as it bruises on my face. My life has been like this for a while now. Whenever Ivy sees me alone, she uses this as an opportunity to hurt me. She makes sure that I know my place and that it is at the bottom with the dirt. “Please, Ivy, tha- that’s enough. I- I didn’t even know that y- you would be here. I am just coming back from cleaning the rooms.” I managed to croak out as I lifted my hands up to my cheek. I wince from the pain. They felt so warm, it was almost like touching fire. “Excuse me? Are you talking back at your Luna? You’re nothing but

“So… How have you been doing? Titus asked, his eyes focused on me and only me, and I felt like I was getting sucked into them as each second passed. “Have they been treating you okay?” He added and somehow I could tell he was ready to release Hell on Earth depending on what I was going to say.It was two in the afternoon in the castle; specifically in Neo’s bedroom. After an eventful morning of playing around the frozen lake with snow arts and fights, we all had a big breakfast, walked around the territory a little as Neo toured Tri and I with Titus–while River stayed very close–and after eating risengrynsgrøt (hot rice pudding served with sugar, cinnamon, and butter) which is a traditional meal for ‘Little Christmas Eve’ around here, Neo and Tri were completely dog-tired and they were knocked out in the tree house in l
