Destinee POV.I have lost track of time; I haven’t seen Titus since he dumped me in my new home.Sadia and Kendra bring me food and water everyday and a change of clothes. They have even tried to make me more comfortable with blankets. I am only allowed out of my cell under the watchful eyes of the pack warriors to use the actual toilet. Which is a separate room next to the stairs, which I thought was a storage room. At least I don’t have to use the bucket. I cringed at the thought, but still at least I can wash my face.“Aura, how long have been down here for?” I ask her. She is slowly going mad. She needs to be free. However, keeping us in here is breaking her spirit and replacing it with hate and a burning desire to destroy the pack and everyone in it.“At least 5 days, Destinee, we can break out, but I’m waiting.” I furrow my eyebrows and snuggle into the blankets. The sun is going down.Most of the time we sleep or pace the cell, nothing much else we can do.“What are you waiting
Titus POV.Driving away from Destinee was causing me more pain than her spitting fire at me. The ache was getting worse; the bond screaming at me to run back to her and hold her.But I needed answers and the only one who can give me them was Crystal’s father, Beta Nathan Delaney.“You ok Alpha?” Marcus looked at me through the rearview, I looked and felt like shit. I haven’t slept and all I’ve done is drink.“Yeah.” I replied with a sigh as I looked out of the window, watching the trees fly by.“Well, you look like shit. Kendra said that Destinee,” he sighs and watches my expression before he continued. “Well, she is covered in bruises and she is going into her shell. She doesn’t speak to either her or Sadia. It’s like she is waiting for something to happen. Titus, you need to sort this out soon. Aura is subdued, but Destinee is another matter.” He looks upset. He loves Destinee the same as the rest of the pack does.Sighing, I tell him, “it’s the bond.” He furrows his eyebrows. He go
Destinee POV.“Destinee, Titus has gone. It won’t be long before Crystal makes her move. Be ready and whatever you do, don’t believe what she says.” Aura tells me she is ready to tear this bitch’s head off and play soccer with it.“I know. Let’s just sleep like we would. No point in changing our daily routine.” I tell her and she nods her head with a smirk. She is ready, and so am I.A few hours later, we hear a loud bang and screams coming from above us; I gulp, knowing she is coming to kill me, but do I show fear? No, I don’t.Aura and I become alert, and I sit up in my cell.“You ready?” I ask Aura, and she nods her head.“Always. Let’s teach this bitch a lesson.” She is practically frothing at the mouth.“Remember to keep your block up. You are supposed to be subdued.” I tell her with a chuckle and she rolls her eyes.“What do you take me for, an amateur? I know what we need to do, babe. Just chill.” Before I can respond to her, the door opens with a creak and I stiffen up.“Well,
Titus POV.My world moved in slow motion, as I watched Destinee run her throat across the blade. My breath caught in my throat. It happened so fast, Sadia, and Kendra’s screams as Destinee fell and Crystal shifted and ran.My feet moved on their own and grabbed Destinee by her throat to help her heal, when I ordered the cuffs to be removed. Aura pushed forward, breaking out of the silver.A feral howl roared behind us all as Aura stood tall, her eyes white as she stared into my very soul. Throwing her head back, she howled and ran.I was paralysed in place. I couldn’t move as I watched my mate run towards him. Fenrir, who was standing in his gigantic wolf form. He is bigger than Aura. His eyes scanning over my pack. His fur was as black as night. In his wolf form, he is the same height as a grizzly bear on it’s hind legs.I watched as Sadia ran after her. Aura touched her forehead with her brother, and they both ran.I’ve lost her. My mate has left us to our fate, and it’s all my faul
Destinee POV.Listening to everything that has been said between Titus, Aura, and Fenrir. Was just weird. Feeling just how sad and defeated Aura felt made me feel so bad. I realised in that moment that she was more than the Goddess and my protector. She is vulnerable. Her goal has always been to protect me and to not give in to what she wants, but now I see I am the one who has been selfish to her needs.The guilt weighs heavily on me; I know she is right. I have pushed away Titus whilst he has pulled me closer. Causing Aura and Orion to both suffer. I realise just how petty I have been.Since we came here, all Aura has done is show aggression towards both Titus and Orion and I can only put that down to Crystal.Crystal, the rogue whore, has caused more pain and suffering to not just this pack but to her father’s pack and no doubt other packs, too.I understand why Titus agreed to let her go, and it was to save me. I believed what she said to me. The only thing in my mind was to prote
Destinee POV.Titus smashed his lips on mine and in that moment, I gave in to him. I needed him; I have been fighting with him for too long. His kiss is hungry and hot. Oh, my Goddess, was it hot.My hands trailed up his bare muscular tattooed chest and around the back of his neck. Biting on his bottom lip earned me a low satisfied growl from him and the butterflies in my stomach went into a frenzy as my core tightened in anticipation.Titus pressed closer, griping my hips and pulling closer to the edge of the vanity, his hand tangled in my hair. Breaking the kiss panting for breath, I felt dizzy.Kisses traced along my jaw and down my neck to my shoulder. He sucks and nips on the spot where his mark will sit, and I shudder with a breathy moan. Throwing my head back and my back arches, pushing my bra clad breasts into his chest.My hands leave his neck and trail down his chest to his shorts. His hand stops mine from going any further. Looking into his eyes, embarrassment washes over m
Destinee POV.Walking through the packhouse with Titus next to me, the atmosphere is sombre and depressed.Titus takes my hand and leads me towards the cemetery. I stop in my tracks, my throat closes over, and I fight the tears. Titus gives my hand a squeeze and I look up to him, the tears falling.“It’s OK. they are with Selene now, roaming the fields of Elysium with their ancestors.” All I can do is nod. Walking closer to the cemetery, I see 6 coffins and I choke on a whimper.“Destinee, I’m here,” Aura chokes and whimpers in my head. The guilt is eating me alive. This is my fault.Stepping closer, I let go of Titus’s hand and walked toward Dahlia’s parents. I lower my head and stop in front of her coffin.I walk over and place my hand on the top of it.“You are at peace,” I hear whimpers and I turn my gaze towards the pack members and I straighten up.“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. If I had told Alpha Titus the reason Aura attacked Crystal, this wouldn’t be happening. I promise you all now
Destinee POV.Pulling up in the city, Titus takes my hand and kisses my knuckles. Pulling my attention away from the towering buildings and the wolves going about their daily business.“Today is about you. I thought we could go shopping and have a romantic dinner together.” Blinking at him, he wants to go shopping and have dinner, turning my gaze back to the little boutiques and cafes. I take a deep breath and gaze back at him. The grimace must have spoken volumes. All Titus could do was laugh.Ok, granted, I’m not like every she-wolf who loves shopping and being dressed up. I would rather stick pins in my eyes than shop.“Erm, yeah, sounds fun.” I say, trying to smile but I’m sure it made me look like I was constipated.Aura is rolling laughing in my mind, traitor. She knows I hate this. Shopping is a torture in itself.“Come on, it will be fun, besides you deserve a treat. Let me treat you, baby.” He says, giving me puppy dog eyes. Scoffing at him, I am not amused by his antics, so
