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.
Destinee POV.Hearing Titus snicker, I lock eyes with him in the mirror. He kisses my shoulder.“As much as I want to take you here and now, I know you are too tired. When you have regained your energy, I will make love to you.” I smile at him. He is sacrificing his needs for me. Chewing my lip. I do want to sleep with him, but he is right. I’m exhausted.Our little miss is sucking my energy right out of me. I sigh, placing my hands over his on my belly, “thank you, Titus, for understanding. It’s not that I don’t want to because I do. I’m so tired these days.” I whisper, and look away from his gaze. My hormones are all over the place, don’t get me wrong I want to fuck him one minute, then the next I’m exhausted. This is embarrassing to admit.“Hey, don’t apologise. You are growing our princess and that is tiring work. Besides, I will wait for you to make the first move. I love you Destinee, now come on let me help you in the bath.” He Squats in front of me to help me take my knickers
Destinee POV.After my little prank on Titus and my explanation, he calmed down and realised how silly he was being. We are currently walking round the store and I’m wearing his sweatpants and a shirt. These are the only things that fit me right now. But luckily enough, in this store there is a clothing section and I plan on heading over to get some things.Pushing the trolley, Titus is beside me as I lean on it, letting it take my weight. He is grabbing snacks and things, everything I seem to pick up, in fact. He is adding to the trolley. We have two warriors with us. The trolleys they have are pretty full. I shake my head. If he carries on, he will buy everything.We make our way down an aisle and I stop in my tracks, seeing the baby toiletries. Now these we definitely need.I waddle over to the nappies and look at them; I stretch to reach when Titus reaches them for me and hands me the packet and I thank him as I read the back. Newborn size. Will these fit her? She is already big.
Titus POV.Walking back into the living room, I find Destinee asleep on the sofa. I walk towards her and take the blanket off the back of the sofa and place it over her. Looking at her, I notice her face look ashen. She looks ill.Crouching down I run the back of my fingers gently over her cheek, “everything will be ok, sleep my queen. I love you.” In order not to wake her up, I whispered to her. I stand and leave the living room.Passing a few omegas, I instruct them not to allow anyone to enter the living room. Destinee needs to sleep. Each time our pup grows, it drains her completely and I know it’s painful for her because I feel the pain, just not as much as she does.Walking towards my office, Marcus approaches me. “Hey, how is she?” he asks me, full of concern. I sigh as I turn to look at him.“The pup is feeding off Aura’s power and so it is draining both Destinee and Aura. Marcus, I have never heard of anything like this before.” I tell him and he nods before he clicks his ton
Destinee POV.My heart is threatening to explode with how hard it’s beating. That nightmare wasn’t real. It wasn’t real.I keep telling myself when hurried footsteps enter the living room. I look at my mate and I burst into tears, holding my arms out to him. I need him. The things I have just seen, no, it was just a dream, a horrible, horrible dream.“Hey, shhh it’s ok, you’re here. Breathe my queen, breathe.” I take a few deep breaths in between sobs, but I can’t unsee what I have just been shown.Titus holds me tight as I cry, my heart broken when I see the image and I scream out. My hands go to my baby bump. No, she is still there.“Baby, what happened?” Do I tell him? No, he will only tell me I’m being silly. I don’t want him worrying about this. It was just a dream.“Destinee, look at me.” I bring my gaze up to him and he is concerned. I can’t tell him. It’s crazy it was just a dream.“It’s nothing, just a bad dream. I’m fine.” I tell him, forcing a smile. He narrows his eyes on
Destinee POV.“No, I will not be used as bait Destinee. It won’t work.” I shake my head at his words. How does he know it won’t work? Seriously, we need to get her to expose herself. Right now, it is the only plan we have.“And why is that?” I ask, folding my arms over my chest glaring at him. I will fight him on this if I need to. He is an Alpha, after all. He is doing what is right for his pack.“Did you forget I attacked her last time I saw her in Denver?” he copies my actions and now we are facing off, oh he is being serious. Well, too bad because I’m just getting started.“Oh, yeah, you’re absolutely right. How could I forget about that?” I say mockingly, shaking my head before I see his reaction change.Why did it change? What is he scared of? No, it can’t be. Why the cheeky son of a bitch!“While we are on the subject,” I smile at him before I stand and move closer to him, slowly circling him like he is prey, looking him up and down. I will get my answers now.“Why didn’t you k
Titus POV.Seeing the blood panic gripped me, and I crashed to the floor and took Destinee in my arms. My hands shake and tears leave my eyes.“GET THE HEALER AND MIDWIFE NOW!” I scream out, touching Destinee’s face. Her face is too pale and see feels cold.“Destinee, come on, wake up. Wake up.” I cry when Fenrir drops to his knees beside me.“Titus, give her your blood. The baby is safe, Aura is healing Destinee. Give her your blood now.” He panics and I bite my wrist as Fenrir opens her mouth. I hold my wrist over her mouth as my blood drips into it. Fenrir rubs her throat, making her drink it down, and she does slowly. Even though she can’t die, she is too weak.The healer and midwife enter the office and get to work.“Alpha, we need to work on her and we can’t do that while you are holding her.” I look at her blankly when Fenrir grips my shoulder, and he nods.“Let them work. They won’t hurt her. If they do, I’ll kill them.” I look back at Destinee and her head rolls back. I nod m
