His Possession or His Princess

Thirty-Three | Feast

Cal

When my head hit that pillow, I knocked out. Transitioning into a wolf for the first time took out so much energy and was so painful.

I only woke up due to the smell of food in the room. My mouth instantly started watering and I sit up and see Titus thanking someone and he closes the door. He turns towards me and smiles and gestures towards the two tables loaded with food and said, “I thought I’d get you a little bit of everything.”

He sure did. One table was full of dinner food and the other full of desserts. At just a glance I saw pizza, steaks, mac and cheese, a cookie cake, donuts, cake pops, and I look at him with my jaw dropped as I ask, “What is this?”

He chuckles, “You said you were craving everything. Now you can have a bit of everything. Besides wolves have a high stamina you’re going to need to start eating more to keep up with the amount of energy you’re putting out.”

I glance down suddenly feeling self-conscious as I remember all the times Haley has commented on my weight.

Suddenly Titus is right in front of me, and he lightly touches my cheek and asks, “Are you okay? Do you not like it?”

I smile as my eyes meet his and I see the worry in his eyes. I say, “I’m fine, Titus, and I love it. I just… I’m not hungry anymore.”

He looks at me confused and I get off the bed and say, “I’m going to get a shower.”

My stomach begins to grumble, and I pray he didn’t hear it. Unfortunately, that damn werewolf hearing ratted me out.

He says, “Get back here and eat, Cali. I know you are starving. Your stomach’s growling loudly and you shifted for the first time today. Why are you hesitating?”

I bite my lower lip and turn towards him and he looks at me skeptically and I say, “I don’t want to eat because I don’t want to gain any weight.”

His eyebrows furrow and he walks towards me and begins to walk around me as he looks me up and down and asks, “Why are you concerned about your weight?”

I sigh, “I’ve been made fun of for my weight before.”

“Who?” His voice is harsh and makes me flinch a little. He takes a deep breath and says, “You’re skinny, Cali, like especially for a wolf. On a werewolf standard you’re unhealthy. You need to gain weight.”

I hear Esther in my head: He’s right, you know. He’s just looking out for us. Now go eat! That steak smells heavenly.

I smirk from her comment and nod and say, “Fine, I’ll eat. Esther would really like that steak.”

He chuckles, “Kane howled in my head at the mention of Esther.”

I start to fix my plate and with Esther constantly barking in my head I end up grabbing a lot more food than I think I can even eat.

Titus walks towards double doors on the other side of the room that lead out to a small balcony where he has a table set up with some sunflowers in the center. I smile as I walk over to him and he pulls the seat out for me. I sit and look at the view of the woods and the different homes I can see and the people walking around.

Titus sits across from me and he reaches out to grab my hand and asks, “What are you thinking?”

“It’s beautiful out here. So serene yet still so busy.”

He nods and says, “Just wait until you’re officially Luna then the real busyness starts.”

I smile and take a bite of my steak and moan loudly from the delicious taste. Titus looks at me amused by my actions and he says, “This coming weekend I am going to have an announcement telling the pack that your parents and you are joining the pack and then we will have a small ceremony to initiate you.”

“What happens with that?”

“Pretty much I ask if you accept me as your Alpha and if you’ll do the duties that’s meant for pack members and then we make like a blood bond. I’ll cut into my hand and into yours and your parents and I will shake your hands making our blood mix. You will feel the bond between us grow as well as the bond within the pack. I need to talk with your parents actually because I’m not quite sure how it will all work with your mom being a fairy.”

I smile and say, “The whole thing is kind of unbelievable with my parents. Like I have a werewolf and a fairy as my adoptive parents. It makes so much sense though that my mom is a fairy. She’s always had a very green thumb, but like abnormally so. Like things would grow or do things faster or stronger than normal plants and now I know it’s due to her fairy magic.”

He nods, “I’ve never actually met a fairy. Fairies and wolves normally don’t get along too well because wolves are more serious creatures and fairies are very… silly and from what I’ve heard like to play like practical jokes. Just causes tension. But it is very interesting that she is your dad’s second chance mate.”

I finish eating and look back at the mountain of food still sitting on the table and as I stand up, I ask, “Can we see if Olive and Britt and the boys would like some?”

He nods, “I’ll send them a message right now. Besides I’m sure the girls are very eager to talk with you.”

I smile in response and he walks over to me and leans down to kiss me and his lips brush against mine so softly and he pulls away but is still so close I can feel his breath against my lips. He says, “Before they come there is something, I want to talk to you about.”

I look into his eyes and he breathes out and says, “I’m in love with you, Calliope, with every fiber of my being, everything that I am, I am in love with you.”

My jaw drops a little and I smile and say, “I’ve been holding back from you because I was scared, I’d say or do something wrong, and it would make you leave me. And honestly from the first day I set my eyes on you I knew you had the potential to be able to break me if you wanted to. I’m in love with you, Titus. I’m so in love with you that it’s terrifying.”

His smile is huge, and he grabs my face and whispers, “There’s nothing you could do to make me leave.”

His hands grip below my butt as he holds my butt and I wrap my legs around his waist, his lips press against mine and seem to mold perfectly to me, and he kisses me as if I am his source of oxygen.

He pulls away to give both of us a moment to breathe and I gasp as he kisses down my neck and his teeth graze at the spot where he told me he would one day mark me. I can’t help but move my body against his and I feel a very large bulge pressed against my core making a moan slip from my lips.

Suddenly, there’s a knock on the door and he drops me on the bed making me gasp again and he takes a few steps away from me and I notice his hand hovering over his… area. He slips into the bathroom and I smooth my hair out and stand up to go answer the door hoping that it wasn’t too obvious what we were doing and were… about to do.
