Destinee POV.It has been a week since the heat and all I have done is eat, sleep and vomit. According to Sadia, my pregnancy symptoms will appear quicker and I will start showing soon.Titus, however, has been so loving. Every chance he gets he is touching and kissing my stomach. He has been there when I’ve needed him and nothing has fazed him.“Destinee, we have an appointment this afternoon.” I stopped eating and looked at him. Did he tell me about this already? My brain isn’t registering anything at the moment.He chuckles at my reaction. “Did you forget?” I look away, biting the inside of my cheek. He pokes my nose. I sigh, rubbing my forehead.“Erm, it appears so. What appointment is it?” I look up when Sadia and the rest of the pack members all giggle. Turning my attention to them all, I narrow my eyes and growl and they all stop giggling and put their heads back down.“Sorry everyone.” I say and they all smile and some even coo in understanding. My hormones are everywhere, and
Destinee POV.My eyes widen at Marcus’s words. Rogues at the border!“How many, and what are they doing?” I ask, placing my hand on my belly. Titus sees my action, and he growls.“Nothing will happen, ok I won’t let them get to you or our pup.” He says with conviction but I can’t calm down. I knew something was going to happen.“They were passing close to the border and were on the move. They look like they are heading towards Colorado.” I bite my lip as Titus places me down.“We must inform the Alpha’s in Colorado and inform the council. They need to move in now, before more lives are lost.” I tell them both, and Titus looks at Marcus and nods at him.Marcus runs towards the office, no doubt to inform those that need to be informed. We need trackers on them now.“Titus, we need to track them. Is there a way?” I ask, fidgeting with my fingers as I look up at him.He is deep in thought and he smiles and nod his head.“Yes, there is, come on.” He takes my hand and leads me into the pack
Titus POV.Stepping through the portal, we arrive at a field close to the border of Colorado. Everything is quiet, peaceful. No birds chirping or any sound of any kind.“Titus, this is bad.” Orion is on alert and I have to agree, this is bad something isn’t right at all.Fenrir steps closer to me and we both look out towards the treeline. Listening for any kind of sound, but there is nothing. Sniffing the air for any scent of the rogues and nothing.“Something is wrong. They should be here.” Fenrir says his wolf on the surface and I nod, stepping forward towards the treeline.Did we arrive at the wrong place? My phone rings. I take it out of my pocket and see it’s Destinee.I answer it, and she is frantic. A feeling of dread washes over me.“Titus, they are heading towards a human town.” My eyes widen. They have shifted course, fuck!“Which one? Destinee which one?” I panic, they will destroy the town and kill all the humans.“Denver!” FUCK!“Ok, we are behind them. Keep me informed o
Destinee POV.Watching the carnage on the screen in the office, I’m nervous and terrified. Clasping my hands together and my leg shakes. As I lean forward on the sofa, not taking my eyes off the screen.The phone in the office rings, pulling me out of my trance. Sadia answers it and she calls me, handing me the phone.With shaking hands, I take the phone.“This is Alpha Destinee. Who am I speaking to?” I say as calmly as I can. Not taking my eyes off the screen.“Alpha Destinee, this is councilman Hayes. We are looking for Alpha Titus. Where is he?” I see Orion on the screen, running into the fray, and I hold my breath.He is bigger and more fierce.“Hello, Alpha Destinee. Are you still there?” I blink and I take a breath.“Yes, sorry, councilman Hayes. Alpha Titus is currently dealing with the rogues in Denver.” He gasps and gives orders. I’m too focused on the screen to hear what he is saying. My heart is beating against my ribcage.When I wince, feeling something hot pierce into my
Destinee POV.“Aura, stop this. I understand you’re upset, but this is not the way to do this. Give me control now!” I shout at her, trying to break the barrier. But she won’t budge, stubborn wolf.“No Destinee, they deserve to die. I will not back down from this. They ran here and did nothing. They didn’t uphold their vows as Alpha’s. They deserve their fate.” I groan in frustration.“Aura, then you hold the power to strip them of their titles. Don’t challenge them, we could end up getting hurt! Do you want that? Do you want to risk our pup?” I scream, with tears streaming down my cheeks.She whimpers at the thought of something happening to our pup. I’m getting through to her.“Fine, I will strip them of the very thing that makes them who they are.” I calm down, taking a breath, listening to her words.“Thank you Aura, please let’s sort this out amicably, ok?” I plead with her and she snorts in response.“Aura, let me have control.” I ask her and she stays quiet.“Destinee, let me d
Destinee POV.It has been two months since Aura stripped the council members and Alpha’s of their titles and wolves and I am so tired lately.Fenrir has not been in touch so I can only assume he is still busy vetting new the Alpha’s and council members.I now have a visible baby bump. Today I am staying in bed. Everything and everyone is pissing me to no end and so I have locked myself in the bedroom. Too scared in case I lash out.The hormones are too strong and so they are affecting not just me but Titus too; we had an argument two weeks ago and I still refuse to speak to him. He is gone before I wake up and only returns to the bedroom when I’m drifting off to sleep.Dark thoughts plague my mind that he is up to something. My gut churns with the thoughts. I know I said the past needs to remain buried but now and then the thoughts enter my mind and I blow up like a bottle of coke which has had mentos added to it.Yeah, not good. Damn pregnancy hormones. What makes it worse is Aura is
Titus POV.As much as I love Destinee and Aura, her hormones are becoming unbearable. Destinee has become unreasonable. She will not let me near her at all and the argument we had two weeks ago started because she I was sparring with one of the female warriors.Destinee never had an issue before, but since she has been pregnant anytime a female is anywhere near me, she is snarling. I tried to apologise to her, but she kicked me out of the bedroom.Orion told me that Aura was being the same with him and we needed to give them both some space. Looking at her sleeping in my arms in her nest, I now understand what is happening with her. She let her guard down unintentionally, and I saw what was running through her mind. My heart broke seeing what has been taunting her and yes, it is my fault.So, for the time being, I will do my best to reassure her and stay away from the unmated females. However, that will be a problem.Destinee whimpers in her sleep and groans as she moves onto her back
Destinee POV.Waking up in my nest, I feel calm only difference is I can’t move. I look down and my eyes widen and I scream.What the fuck? When did my belly get so big?The door opens, and his scent hits me, Titus.“Destinee, what’s wrong? Are you ok?” he enters my nest and I keep looking at my belly.“Destinee?” he asks softly and I slowly lift my eyes to his worried green eyes. He bites his bottom lip as he gazes at me, full of concern.I look back at my belly, and he sighs.“It’s ok, your belly has got a lot bigger. You have been out since yesterday. Everything is ok I promise.” I bite the inside of my cheek, noting something is wrong.“Don’t lie to me. Yesterday I hardly had a bump and now I look like a pregnant whale.” I say with tears in my eyes. Yes, I’m being a drama queen, but I have never heard of this happening before.Titus comes closer and gives me a hug. Stroking my back lovingly he sighs.“I won’t lie to you. The pup is feeding off Aura’s power, increasing her growth.
