His Possession or His Princess

Thirty-Eight | Girl Time

Cal

I sit in a chair in the meeting room and shake my leg nervously as I wait for Titus’ mother to show up. Titus plays a hand on my shoulder and tries to calm me down, but I am way too on edge with the change in my appearance.

I keep my head down feeling nervous of how his mom will react when she sees my eyes and the markings all over my body. She seems like she could be a dramatic person and honestly a small part of me is worried that I’m going to look so different and weird that she will want Titus to reject me. I glance up towards him and hope that he wouldn’t let his mother get in the way of our love.

I hear her voice, “Good morning, you two! How did things go with Andrea?”

Titus’ voice is gruff as he says, “Close the door, mom.”

I hear the door shut and I can hear the concern in her voice as she asks, “Is everything okay, son?”

I can feel both his and his mom’s eyes on me and he sighs loudly and says, “You were right… there was some magic involved with Calliope.”

I can hear the hesitation in her voice as she asks, “Is everything okay, Cali.”

With a heavy breath I remove the hood from my head and I look up at her and she lets out a loud gasp upon seeing my violet eyes. She walks towards me and holds her hand out and asks, “Could I-?”

I nod and allow her to touch the markings on my forehead and I watch as the corners of her mouth twitch up. She says, “You know, I’ve always heard about this, but I had no idea it was real.”

I lift one of my eyebrows in a questioning manner and I ask, “What have you heard about?”

She sighs, “The royal wolves are very secretive especially since they had a baby and you rarely if ever see them. They are always generous and willing to help out any pack that is in need, but you never see the King Alpha or Queen Luna in person. But it is said that the royal wolves have that diamond marking on them.”

His mom turns to Titus and says, “I need to do some research. I would suggest you call your parents, Cali.”

I nod, and she walks out of the room and Titus turns towards me and asks, “Would you like to go get them?”

I sigh and take a seat and say, “They’re going to look at me differently.”

He sits beside me and says, “They’re not going to look at you any different, Cali. Your parents love you regardless of what you look like.”

I nod slowly in agreement and I ask, “Could you get Olive? I’d like her to keep me company while you get my parents.”

“I was going to send someone to get your parents so I could stay with you, but I’ll do whatever you want, princess.”

Princess. I might be royalty. I might literally be a princess. I sigh and stand up placing a hand on Titus’ cheek and say, “I love you, Titus, but I need a minute to have some girl time. So, could you get Olive for me and you go get my parents? I think my parents would feel very special for the Alpha to come get them personally.”

He sighs in response and nods then places a light kiss on my lips and says, “I’ll tell Olive to come here, and I’ll be back soon. I love you, Cali.”

I smile, “I love you too.”

I watch as he walks out the door and I collapse into a chair as I wait for Olive to come and join me.

I hear the light tap of her knock and I’m facing the other direction of the room, feeling concerned of how she is going to react from my looks. I hear her voice, “Cal, you in here?”

I breathe out, “Yeah, I’m in here.”

The door closes and she asks, “Is everything okay?”

I nod then realize she can’t see me since I’m not facing her and I say, “Yeah, everything’s… fine.”

“What’s going on?”

“I’m going to turn around… but I look a lot different and I don’t want you to be too surprised.”

I hear the smile in her voice as she says, “Okay, I can handle it.”

I turn around and watch as her eyes widen and she says, “Wow.”

I nod, “Yeah.”

“You’re gorgeous, Cal.”

I scoff in disbelief and she walks towards me and takes a seat beside me and says, “I mean it. So, how’d this happen?”

“Apparently I had some spell on me or something that was blocking it. Titus is now on his way to get my parents, Luna Amy is looking some stuff up, and the witch, Andrea, says she has heard rumors that these are the marks of someone that is royalty.”

The corner of Olive’s mouth twitches up and she says, “That’s crazy.”

I laugh, “I know.”

“That’s why you didn’t want Britt to come in here?”

I shrug, “I feel a little self conscious about my looks with this and I think she would have a… larger reaction than you.”

I reach my hand across and grab Olive’s and say, “I knew I could trust you not to flip out.”

She smiles and says, “I’m grateful you trust me. How are you feeling?”

I bite my lower lip as I think and I say, “This is all kind of unbelievable. Two days ago I was a normal human girl with a normal boyfriend or at least I thought. Now, I’m a werewolf, I’m supposed to be the Luna of this pack, and I have violet eyes and diamond markings on me and I’m being told I might be royalty. Like… I feel like I’m in a TV show.”

Olive laughs and says, “It’s crazy, but you seem to be handling everything well.”

I breathe out and nod, “I’m grateful I have Titus by my side. I could only imagine if I was dealing with Alexander through all of this.”

Olive scoffs and says, “Yeah, I wonder how he’ll feel about you being a wolf.”

I tilt my head to the side and ask, “What do you mean?”

“Oh, Alexander is the upcoming Alpha of a neighboring pack.”

I laugh a humorless laugh and ask, “How did I just happen to get caught up with werewolves my whole life and I didn’t even know it?”

She laughs and I ask, “Is that why Alexander broke up with me? He found his mate?”

She sighs, “Honestly, I don’t know. I haven’t seen him with a mate. Britt and I always got irritated with him because like he knew you weren’t his mate so why did he spend that time toying with you?”

I nod in agreement and I sigh, “Call Britt in- this just doesn’t feel the same without her.”

Olive brightens at my statement and we sit back and wait for Britt to join us.
