Titus
Picking up Calliope’s parents without her joining me is… weird. As soon as I pulled up to their house I saw her mother at the front porch tending to some plants. When she noticed it was me who pulled up she waved at me with a bright smile, but when she saw the Cali wasn’t here with me I could see the concern in her eyes.
She walks towards me as I get out of the car and she says, “Good to see you again, Al-” I notice her about to call me Alpha and I give her a disapproving look making a smile show as she corrects herself, “I mean, Titus.”
I nod, “Good to see you, Mrs. Danica, is your husband around? I really need to speak with both of you.”
She smiles, “I’ll go get him, but if I’m not allowed to call you Alpha then you cannot call me Mrs.”
I chuckle at the way she scolds me and nod, “Yes ma’am.”
She grins and turns around and walks away. I lean against my car as I wait for her parents to come out of the house. I wonder if Richard has any idea that his daughter might be royalty. I mean… he said he found her in the ruins of another pack. Could that have been the royal pack? I mean you would think that would’ve been major news among our community and I never heard anything of the sorts.
I smile as I see him walk towards me and he holds his hand out to shake mine. We shake hands as he says, “Titus, how are you, son?” His eyes flicker towards the car and I notice that he sniffs the air trying to find Cali’s scent. He asks, “Where’s Cali?”
“I actually came to pick the two of you up… Cali really wants to see you and speak to you and she asked me to come pick you up.”
His eyebrows furrow in concentration and Danica takes his arm and I can see the worry in her eyes as she asks, “Is she okay?”
I nod with a smile, “Yes, she’s not hurting or anything she just has some questions.”
Richard nods in understanding and says, “If it’s okay with you we would prefer to take our own vehicle there. We’ve already packed it up a little so if we needed to stay the night in the pack house, we would be more comfortable.”
I nod, “Yes sir, you can drive. I’ll make sure to be mindful of you following me as I drive and I’ll let my pack know of the new vehicle so that none of the patrols get concerned.”
Richard smiles and Danica says, “I’m going to grab my purse and we can head out now.”
Richard stays with me while his wife runs inside and as soon as we heard the front door close he looks at me and asks, “What’s wrong with Cali?”
I sigh, “We had a witch look at her. Cali’s eyes are a different color, and she has some markings on her.”
The confusion is obvious on his face and I say, “You’ll understand when we get there.”
“How is she doing?”
“Scared, but okay.”
He licks his lips nervously and we stop talking as we hear Danica come back out. I smile at them and we split up into our separate vehicles.
Cal
When Britt joined the room, it seemed like the whole situation was no longer tense and instead was almost hysterical.
She ended up bringing make up into the room and Olive began braiding my hair as Britt was trying to pick out the best color palette for my eyes and the markings on my head. She loved the markings though and said she wanted to enhance them and not hide them. I loved how she fawned over me so much because it truly did make me feel special and beautiful.
I giggle as I listen to her mutter her frustrations to herself because she can’t figure out what would be the best way to do this and she says she wants to make me look so stunning that Titus’ jaw will drop and he’ll want to mate with me immediately.
The thought of him mating me makes me blush heavily. Both Britt and Olive begin to rave about their newfound s*x lives with their mates.
Apparently, werewolves have almost like an insatiable s*x drive.
I didn’t say this to anyone, but honestly it made a lot of sense with how Alexander was. I felt like he liked to use me for my body a lot- I mean even he admitted that. But there were several times he would be so rough that it hurt during and afterwards and he would want to do more an hour later and if I refused, he would accuse me of not loving him enough. It a lot of times ended with me giving him oral just to get him to shut up and not yelling at me anymore.
I hear the sound of a knock on the door and I turn away from Britt making her playfully growl at me as I look to see Titus and my parents walk in.
My mom gasps loudly as she sees my face. She rushes towards me and touches my cheeks and begins to run her finger along my markings and she looks deep into my eyes.
I glance towards my dad and he stands beside Titus with his arms crossed. I hear Olive quietly dismiss herself and Britt as they walk out of the room giving my parents and I some privacy.
I look towards Titus and he gives me a soft smile trying to silently reassure me that everything is okay. He asks my dad, “Richard, did you know about this?”
I watch as my dad takes slow steps towards me and he says, “No, I didn’t.”
He touches my cheek and I lean into the palm of his hand. I say softly, “I’m scared, daddy.”
He presses a kiss to my forehead and says quietly, “I know, honey, I am too.”
He turns towards Titus and says, “You said your mom was trying to figure stuff out?”
Titus nods to confirm and he asks, “Can we go talk with her?”
Titus nods and says, “I’ll get my Beta or Gamma to escort you.”
Titus looks towards me and asks, “Would you like to join them?”
I shake my head no as I let out a loud yawn and say, “I’d really like to take a nap, if that’s okay?”
Titus seems to smile bigger at the thought of being wrapped in each other’s eyes and he nods at me. I hear a knock on the door and see Hugh at the entrance ready to lead my parents to Luna Amy. My mom hugs me quickly and says, “We’ll talk more soon, love.”
They leave the room and Titus escorts me back to mine. When he touches my arm the tingles that go throughout my body are overwhelming.
I don’t know how much longer I’ll be able to ignore the mate bond, but I’m still scared and nervous about mating with him. I hope he’ll be able to respect my decision to wait. I’m scared jumping into s*x too soon will ruin our relationship.
