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
Titus POV.The steady beeping of the machines is a cold reminder that this has happened. It has been a six days since Destinee fell and slipped into a coma. No-one can tell me why this has happened. I’m sick of listening to the excuse that Destinee was overexerting herself.“Titus, you need to leave the room. She isn’t going to wake up anytime soon. I will watch over her. If anything happens, I’ll let you know.” Fenrir hasn’t left her side either. This is my fault.“No, I will stay with her.” I will not leave her side, especially when I don’t have to. Fenrir sighs before he growls. I ignore him. She is my mate, and he doesn’t understand. No-one does.“Titus, I will drag you out of this room. Your pack needs it’s Alpha, not Marcus. Destinee is not going anywhere. Your pack is worried that both their Alpha’s are nowhere to be seen. They are worried that you have given up on them. Get your head out of your ass,” he growls at me as he grabs me.I snarl in warning. How fucking dare he touc
Destinee POV.“Destinee!” Sadia is at my side, but I don’t take my eyes off Fenrir and Titus, who have been pinned against the wall with my power.“Destinee!” I turn my head towards her and she crushes me into a hug and I hug her back.“You scared us kid, are you ok?” she asks in panic as she scans me head to toe, lifting my arms and moving my head from side to side. Her gaze scrutinising to make sure I’m not injured.I don’t say anything; turning my gaze back to the two pricks pinned to the wall. I grip Sadia’s arms and try to stand up. When Kendra grabs my arm to help me.I look at my females and “thank you,” my voice doesn’t sound right. I walk slowly with the help of my Betas towards the two idiots and stop in front of them.My hand going to my bump when I feel the pup kick. I chuckle when I feel her emotions through our bond. She thinks this is funny, her mommy kicking her daddy’s and uncle arses without touching them. I chuckle as I rub my belly.“It is funny, isn’t it, sweetie?
Destinee POV. Listening to the reports and seeing how my plans have all come together, I smile. I feel accomplished knowing I am making a difference in my pack. I am taking my Alpha responsibilities seriously while I leave twit and twat to dangle and sort out their issues. I can run the pack standing on my head. After all, I was made for this. “So, where are we with finding the latest movements of Sampson and Crystal?” I ask sitting at the Alphas desk. I look at the Beta’s in front of me and they all smile. “We tracked them to a cave system not far from here. We believe they are waiting for the perfect moment to strike. We have already looked all over the territory for any weaknesses in our defences, but we could use more help.” I nod, listening to Marcus. Tapping my fingers on the desk, I pick up the office phone and dial Councilman Hayes. He answers on the fifth ring. Not that I’m counting or anything, but we need to be able to have time to get the vulnerable members to safety in
Destinee POV.Titus circles me like I’m his prey, and I straighten my spine when I feel his fingers run up my spine to the back of my neck. I shiver and my breath catches in my throat.He growls low in approval before he stands in front of me. Looking down at me and I look up at him. His lips ghost mine before he snarls, and I watch as his eyes burn brightly and I know Orion is on the surface.“Mate!” I smile softly at him. My hand reaches up and touches his face, and he leans into it.“I haven’t forgiven you yet. But I can’t stay angry at you. I know she duped you, like she has done to others before you and now Sampson. But I will tell you this. I will be the only one you will see from now on.” I remove my hand and step back from him.I reach for my dressing gown and slip it on and tie the belt in place. Titus steps forward and wraps his arms around me, and kisses my head.“I thought I lost you, thought we lost our pup. Destinee, I am sorry…” I push him back softly and I step back ag
