His Possession or His Princess

Fourty-Seven | Accusations

Cal

After Titus and I resolve things he goes off to his office and I go downstairs to try and find something to eat. Running for so long has left me starving.

I get into the kitchen and search for food, and I hear Olive’s voice, “You were gone for a while.”

I look up at her, startled, and say, “Yeah, I needed to let off a lot of steam.”

She looks at me skeptically then says in a low voice, “I know you went to the Starry Shadows pack.”

That must be Alexander’s pack’s name.

I say, “I didn’t mean to go there… I just was running and that’s where I ended up.”

She huffs and shakes her head and I pour myself a cup of juice while I wait for her to say whatever she is thinking. It is obvious she is holding herself back. I take a sip of my drink and she shakes her head as she says, “You know, I don’t even want to ask this, but I feel like I have to… do you and Alexander still have something going on?”

I choke on my drink and sputter as I try to catch my breath. I look at her in shock and ask, “What?”

She sighs, “I just… I don’t understand why else you would go over there. And if you’re going to leave Titus then you need to do it now before the Luna ceremony tomorrow night.”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, who said anything about leaving Titus? I love him and I want nothing to do with Alexander.”

She looks me up and down and we stare each other down in silence.

Suddenly, we hear footsteps come down the stairs and soon Titus is by my side and Eric is by hers. They seem to sense the tension and Titus asks me, “Are you okay, Cali?”

I don’t tear my eyes away from Olive as I answer, “I’m fine.”

Eric asks, “How about you, dear?”

She doesn’t look away from me as she answers, “I’m fine as well.”

Britt and Hugh come down the stairs and Britt notices our tension and she says, “Do we need to go off and have some girl time?”

We both answer harshly, “No.”

Olive looks angry with me and I say sternly, “You will not accuse me of anything like that again.”

Her eyes flicker towards Titus and then back on me and she spits back, “As you wish, Luna.”

With that she turns around and leaves the room with Eric following her.

Hugh lets out a low whistle and says, “Well, that was tense.”

Titus asks me softly, “What was that about, love?”

I look at him and can see the worry and concern shining in his eyes and I sigh, “Olive accused me of being with Alexander.”

Britt lets out a small gasp and Titus lets out a low growl and he pulls me to his chest and grumbles, “Mine.”

I wrap my arms around his back as I embrace him tightly and confirm, “Yes, love, I’m yours. And just to clarify, there is nothing going on with me and Alexander.”

He looks at me and presses a kiss to my head and I smile from the small act of love. The moment quickly got ruined when Britt quietly asks, “Why do you smell like the Starry Shadows pack?”

I notice the way Titus’ forehead crinkles when his eyebrows furrow and I lift my hand up and begin to rub his head and I say, “I didn’t know how far off I went during my run and I crossed their borders. I did see Alexander, but once he found out it was me he just told me to get off his lands. Nothing happened.”

Titus sees the sincerity in my eyes and says to Britt, “Cali wouldn’t betray me.”

Britt says, “I’m not accusing her of that… I just, I don’t trust Alexander and I’m concerned especially since we don’t know what all is going on with Cali.”

Titus looks at me and I say, “Love, let’s go to our room. I think some time together is just what we need.”

He nods, but I can tell he’s acting off. These little accusations are bringing doubt into his head about our relationship. I’m supposed to be announced as Luna tomorrow and I don’t see how that can possibly happen when he is doubting me so much.

Titus

Cali and I go back to our room and I really just… I need time with her, but I can’t stand the smell of the Starry Shadows pack. I tell her, “Hey Cali?”

“Hmm?” She looks back at me with a smile and I can’t help but feel happy when she smiles at me. I walk closer to her and pull her into my arms and I say, “I love you and I want nothing more than to just lie in bed with you for a few minutes… but the smell of Alexander’s pack is overwhelming. Could you go take a shower?”

She smiles and nods, “On it.”

I watch as she rushes off to our bathroom and I huff as I lie in bed. Her friends know her better than anyone… right? Could they be right? Could something be going on between her and Alexander?

Suddenly I hear her voice calling me, “Hey Titus?”

I look up at her and see her in nothing, but a small towel and I feel the smile spread across my face as she says, “I was thinking maybe you could join me?”

I jump off the bed and rush towards her and she squeals as I pick her up and she immediately wraps her legs around my waist. She kisses me and I step into the shower and realize I’m fully clothed. I begin to take off my shirt and Cali puts her hand on my chest trying to slow my movements down and she slowly unbuttons each button of my shirt and she says, “You know I would never be with Alexander again, right?”

I sigh, “You were with him for a while, Cali.”

She nods, “I know, but he’s my past and you’re my future. Honestly, I still have some trust issues due to him. I feel really connected with you- more so than I ever felt with him and I’m scared of something happening that would break us.”

I place my hand on her cheek and I say, “Calliope, mates are for life. There is nothing that could ever happen that would break us. Please, trust in me.”

She begins to play with the button on my jeans and then lowers herself down as she kisses along the hem of my pants. Then she slowly, painfully, pulls my jeans and boxers off of me. My member pops up immediately making her giggle and she says, “Okay, I’ll trust in you. But you have to stay still for now.”

I groan and lift my head towards the ceiling and close my eyes as I feel her mouth wrap around me. I growl lowly as my fingers intertwine in her hair and I move her head back and forth. Suddenly, she releases me and says teasingly, “I thought you would stay still.”

I chuckle, and I ask, “Do you trust in me?”

Her violet eyes meet mine and with a soft smile she says earnestly, “I do.”

I pick her up and she wraps her legs around me as my core presses against hers. I say, “Good, I love you.”

“I love you.” She says with a smile, then I shift our position so my shaft can get inside her. She gasps and begins to claw my back as I passionately take her and bite onto my mark reminding her that she is mine and mine alone.
