"I know you must have a lot of questions and I will answer them, but right now I need to continue the meeting with the Alphas regarding security" I nodded as I heard his explanation and he smiled before giving me a quick kiss on the lips then heading to the next room where the Alphas had gathered. Alice and my mom came over and took my hand "We're glad to know you're okay" My mom commented and I nodded. While all their Alpha made their way to the meeting room inside the palace, Luna and the other members made their way to the hall where food and drinks were served.
Some people greeted me and bowed their heads respectfully but there were also women who gave me a cynical look, as if I had shattered their dreams.
Sigh...
Then I noticed the head doctor was one of the walking people, carrying a picture of a woman who I guess was his mate. I hurriedly walked over to him "Hello, head doctor" I greeted softly.
He smiled "Call me, Rupert, my queen, here I am not a doctor now" He said softly and I heard the sadness in his voice.
"I'm sorry for your loss" I opened the conversation and he just smiled while hugging the photo of the woman in his arms tighter.
"I don't know how long I can live without her" he cried softly and I knew that right now the wolf inside him must be in pain from the grief of losing his mate.
Not knowing what to say, I just nodded while patting the back of a man who was saddened by the loss of his life partner forever.

What would have happened to Titus if he hadn't managed to find me back then?
I only heard that he was very wrathful and turned into a different person, just like he was in the past.
He was in the past...?
He hasn't told me anything about what happened after Catherine's death, there's no way he'd just stay silent, what happened back then? What did he do?
stood back and watched everyone walk into the palace.
Does this happen because of me?
"Don't blame yourself" I gasped in surprise and saw that Mellisa was standing next to me.
"When did you come?" I asked quickly and looked around where my bodyguards were getting ready to protect me while the woman next to me just giggled. "You know the king forbade you to do that!" Alexa hissed in annoyance and lowered the defensive signal.
She just shrugged as if she didn't care which made me shake my head at her behavior then I was surprised again when she pulled out 1 strand of my hair. "Ouch!!! what are you doing?!" I shouted in pain that made Alexa and Paul pull me behind their bodies as if to protect me from the witch in front of us. She mouthed softly before exhaling a long breath into my face.
No one spoke as he did so with his entire eye turning white.
What the h*ll?!
One second later she flickered and her eyes returned to their original state then grinned as if what she did just now wasn't strange. 2/5

Then, she wrapped her arms around me and we started walking into the palace.
"Protection so that you won't be harassed by my people" He commented as if he knew I wanted to ask about it.
"Your people?" I raised an eyebrow as I asked and she nodded.
Is that why she is here?
To provide protection for Titus? Meaning Titus is using magic to protect his kingdom?
"I thought he hated witches" I state the things that we both know and she chuckled like she knows something that I don't, I hate it! Yes, I know she's Drake's mate but still...
Why he chose her and said those words to me is still a question.
Why her?
Kissed...
My eyes widened in shock when I felt her kiss my cheek.
What. The. H*ck?!
"Eeewwwww....!!!!!" I shriek loudly and make the crazy witch laugh out loud.
"jealousy doesn't suit you" She said with a winked eyes.
She knows...
"I met the king 10 years ago, you could say I've always been in hiding" Mellisa looked into my eyes as she began to speak and lowered her voice. "Why?"
"I'm Morena's twin."
Silence...

I wondered, does that name mean anything?
She gasped "You didn't know?"

Okay, it seems like there are a lot of secrets that Titus needs to tell me.
We should be open with each other, does our closeness lately mean anything?

It was already very late when one by one the guests returned to their territories, but those who came from afar prepared a hotel for them to stay overnight before returning the next day, many also quickly turned into wolves and returned to their respective territories.
It's almost 3am, yet I haven't heard him return to his room.
Sighed. I turned over and pulled my blanket up, trying to sleep. Why am I waiting for him and this angry knowing he's hiding something from me?
Yes, I should understand our relationship hasn't been long, and only recently improved, but why am I this upset?!
jealousy doesn't suit you'
Ugh... d*mn it!!
Am I jealous?
"Couldn't sleep?" A familiar deep voice called out and I quickly turned my head toward the connecting door to see the man, Titus leaning against the door.
I almost smiled at him but then realized that I was annoyed with him.
Oops... that was close!
Slowly, he walked to the bed and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Are you waiting for me?" He asked teasingly, not really teasing but he smiled as if he knew why I was upset with him now.

"Anything funny?" I was annoyed to see him keep smiling.
He cupped my left cheek "It's nice to see you jealous" he said and made me gape in shock.
What? Jealous?
But before I could refute his words, I was surprised again when he wrapped his arms around me in a blink of my eyes "I missed you so much, the long meeting make me want to kill them all" he added in a serious tone and I can't stop myself but chuckled when I hear it.
D*mn it! I lost!
The heat of his large form pressed into my skin warming me up, making a small smile come over my face as I snuggled into him, wrapping my own arms around him. His intoxicating scent filled my senses making it hard to think straight.
My eyes closed on their own as I rested on his chest, unwilling
to ever move.
I pulled away slightly to look up at his face, he smiled down at me softly as he leaned down pressing a soft kiss to my lips.
"I miss you too" I mumbled to him, unable to contain my smile and he let out a breathy chuckle.
"I know" he said co**ily before looking down to my lips again
and pressed another deep kiss to it.
