Destinee POV.Walking towards the door that lead down to the dungeon, I stopped looking at it. Why did I stop? Taking a deep breath, I open the door and walk down the stairs. The sound of muffled groans enters my ears and the instant feeling of hatred enters my mind.There were no warriors stationed at the door, and I knew they weren’t needed. Fenrir and Marcus have been spending a lot of time down here playing, so to speak, and now it was my turn. They will die for what they have done.Stopping at the bottom of the stairs, I see them. Crystal is in the cell I was placed in and Sampson is on the other side of the room, in a cell facing hers. I smirk to myself, knowing I will inflict pain.“Well, well, well, what do we have here? Is my hospitality that bad? Tsk tsk” I walk towards Fenrir, who is standing in between the cells, and I smile at him.Crystal growls at me, and I turn to face her.“Still alive I see? Oh, what am I saying? Of course you are. It’s by my goodwill that you are st
Destinee POV.Opening my eyes, I’m surrounded by darkness. What the hell? Where am I?“Hello, anybody there?” I call out into the darkness, listening to my voice carry further away from me.“Hello?” Nothing, nada, zip. I stand and walk aimlessly into the darkness. What the hell happened?“Aura… Aura… Are you there?” I try to feel for her presence, but I can’t feel her, no. Where is she?“Aura, where are you?” I shout out. My heart beats against my ribcage, threatening to explode out of my chest. Am I dead? Where is my wolf?This isn’t happening. Oh my Goddess, what will happen to Titus, Dahlia? No, I can’t be dead.“SELENE, SELENE!” I scream out when I hear a growl from the left. I turn to look, but I can’t see anything. More growls sound out and I turn in every direction.“Destinee…” the voice is soft and ethereal. I turn looking for the owner of the voice.“Follow my voice.” My feet move on their own, well if I am dead, nothing can harm me. But I need to go back. I need to be with m
Destinee POV.Listening to the flat tone of the heart monitor, my life flashed before my eyes. My heart felt like it was going to stop.Looking back over the past nearly three years, I saw everything. The abuse at the hands of my father and the pack I was meant to lead, the breaking of the bond between me and the pack. The fear of the rejection from Titus, right up to this moment.If you told me two years ago, I would be here watching my mate fight for his life, the love of my life being resuscitated, and me falling into a pit of despair. Then I would laugh at you and no doubt killed you for your stupidity.If I could go back and change what happened that day, the day I fought with my father and ran away, knowing what I know now, would I have still done the same thing?The answer is yes. I would have still rejected my pack, but I wouldn’t have run from Titus, no I would have run to him. This is my fault. Everything that has happened is all my fault.If I hadn’t have run from him, he w
Titus POV.Laying next to my sleeping mate, I hear movement coming from the crib. I can’t sleep. I have slept enough. Destinee rolls over and I smile at her. Pulling the quilt away, I stand up and walk towards the crib. Anubis sleeps next to the crib on the floor. This hellhound, as much as I didn’t like him at first, has grown on me. If it wasn’t for him, then Crystal would have got away. Anubis is Destinee’s and Dahlia’s protector, so I can deal with that. He just better not shit on my floor.Edging closer, I look down at her. Her blue eyes glow in the darkness and she waves her tiny fist at me, chuckling at her. I pick her up and hold her in my arms. Bringing my face closer to hers, I breathe in her scent and she coos at me. Her tiny hand lands gently on my face, and I feel her emotions.Dahlia isn’t hungry. She wants to have some time with her daddy, and I will never deny my daughter or my mate for what they want.Walking out of the bedroom with Dahlia in my arms and Anubis behind
Destinee POV.Eating breakfast with Dahlia attached to my breast is never an issue. After all, I wouldn’t have it any other way.Titus chuckles beside me and I sit eating my toast, making sure no crumbs fall on her. We will introduce her to the pack tomorrow. She should have been introduced sooner but with everything that happened, it wasn’t the right time.So tomorrow she will be introduced to the pack. The council will also be attending. However, the other Alphas will be watching from their packs. This never usually happens, but because of who Dahlia is, it is necessary for her to be introduced to everyone.“After breakfast, we need to discuss Snow Moon.” I nod, finishing the bite of toast. It is time to go and face my demons and confront my parents and old pack members. Scores need settling and decisions need to be made.“Ok, it needs to be done. I have put it off long enough. But first, this little monkey needs a bath.” I say chuckling, looking down at Dahlia, who is watching me t
Destinee POV.After receiving the mind link, our shower time fun was off the cards. Titus was not happy that they have turned up and neither was I. I need to keep my cards close to my chest. We don’t want them getting spooked and then running home and covering up their mess.Once I’m dressed, I move to Dahlia and pick her up. Titus carries her and Anubis follows us. Walking to the first floor office smiling at the Omegas on the way, they all look to get a glimpse of their future Alpha and we smile at them. Dahlia is wide awake and looking at her surroundings and her little eyes light up, being somewhere new.Walking towards the office door, I can hear Sadia putting my parents in their place. I look at Titus and see he is smirking at the door. We all know how protective Sadia is over me and our pack and I love her so much for it and stepping up to be the mother I have always needed by my side.I open the door and the arguing stops instantly. Walking inside with Titus behind me, I look
Destinee POV.The day has arrived that we will introduce our princess to the pack, the council, and the other Alpha’s. Nothing else matters for today. Tomorrow will be a different story and I dread to think what I will find when we go there. But we will deal with that tomorrow. Right now is to celebrate the birth of the future Alpha.Walking into the bedroom and seeing Titus getting Dahlia dressed in her little dress and tights. He is such an attentive father and mate and I wouldn’t want anyone other than him as my mate and father of my pups.Walking closer to him and I wrap my arms around him from behind and kiss the middle of his back. He tenses in shock before quickly relaxing.“She is nearly ready. Aren’t you princess? Yes you are, you’re mommy and daddy’s little angel.” I smile, listening to his baby talk and the squeal that leaves Dahlia is enough to melt anyone’s heart.I chuckle and realise how far we have come. Inside this packhouse, he is the loving and vulnerable father and
Destinee POV.After the revelations of my parent’s cruelty, I take a shaky breath and focus back on Dahlia’s ceremony. The issues with my parents can wait until tomorrow.Putting a smile on my face, we leave the bedroom. Dahlia is in Fenrir’s arms. We walk in silence. The noise gets louder from our pack and everyone who came to watch history in the making.Walking to the front door of the packhouse. I stop and turn to look behind me at the door that leads down to the cells. Shaking away the murderous rage in my head, I turn back to the front door.Titus kisses my head. “Come, it’s time to introduce our princess. I’ve got you always.” I look up at him and smile at his words, taking his hand in mine as we follow Fenrir out. Everyone instantly falls silent as we walk towards the platform where the council are sat waiting. Kendra and Sadia sit on either side of Councilmen Hayes. Marcus is standing at the stairs leading up to the podium.The pack and the other Alpha’s all bow as Fenrir mov
