nine
I lay in Titus' arms, he hasn't let me go once the past hour. I'm not complaining but i need to pee, however every time i attempt an escape, he pulls me closer, i think i'm starting to lose air.
"Hey." I look up at the doorway, Ola stands, leaning against the frame, "I need to talk to y'all." Titus releases me, sitting up as i do the same, she walks to the empty seat across from us with her hands right together.
"I haven't been 100% honest with you guys." She says Titus' grip tightens on my waist, i know what he wants to say, i know he wants to turn with a childish 'i told you so' as he had told me not to trust her, but so far all we know is she hasn't told us something, not that she was untrustworthy.
"My pack got destroyed, by Alpha Xavier. Me and Amelia didn't stumble upon this territory on accident and Amity as much as i love you, you were far to easy to fool." Titus glares, "Spit it out." He sneers.
"Xavier wanted us to get information, I just couldn't do it. I had , well have, really grown to like you Amity, you helped me when i was struggling. Amelia is different though. I thought she broke contact when we were welcomed into the pack but she's gone and i found a note." She pauses. "She's gone to find Alpha Xavier with all she's found, I know she's working with someone in the pack, I just can't figure out who. I'm sorry, I'm sorry about how i tricked you but i was desperate to be accepted into a pack and i thought Xavier's rogues were the best option."
I stare at my friend in shocked, completely betrayed. Titus was right, i should've been more careful, and now i've not only let Xavier know what's going on in the pack but i've put my baby at risk. I stand abruptly, walking off in silence. How could i have been so stupid?
"Tesoro." I hear Titus' call as he enters our room. "Just leave me alone, Titus." I say, stifling a sob. "Tesoro." he says once more his tone filled with pity as he places his arms around me. "It's all my fault, Titus. I'm so naive, because of one stupid decision i made, i've put our pack and our child in danger." Titus sighs as he turns me to face him.
"You were lonely, yes it's still to this day the stupidest thing you've done, but i see why. You were desperate for someone you could talk to." I look down at the ground only to feel his knuckle on my chin, lifting it to face him. "Hey, I'm going to arrange a meeting, My allies need to be aware, this will all be sorted, okay?" I nod briefly before panic floods me once again. He never has important meetings here, he always travels, he's going to leave me.
"You're coming with me, Amity. I'm not gonna leave you for at least a day while you're in the state you are." I sigh, "I'm not sick Titus." I comment, i don't like the way he refers to my pregnancy as a state i'm in.
"I know, tesoro. Im sorry." He lifts my head with his knuckle, making me stare up at him. "I'm going to protect you, okay? no matter what." I nod. That being the only way i feel i can speak. "Even if it means you die because of it." I say sorrowfully, though i know its always going to be our baby first. Our baby always comes first. "Amity," he sighs making me wince. I dont think i could stand losing him but, hes got a hero mentality, i cant change that, i've just got to hope for the best.
"I love you, Titi." I whisper, placing my hand on his cheek, the warmth filling my skin. The corners of his lips tilt up into a smile, the smile that drives me insane. "I love you more, Tesoro."
My heart beats quick against my chest as the car stops. I dont know why im so nervous, other than the fact im going to be in a room filled with Alpha Males and will be drowned by testosterone and the only reason this meeting is happening is because of my own stupidity. "Calm down." Titus whispers, placing his hand on my thigh.
"I feel responsible." My response is quiet. The words barely audible as they leave my lips. Titus sighs, his eyes falling on the building we are parked outside, cars passing at high speeds. "Im not gonna lie to you and say this couldn't have been avoided but i've already explained that you shouldn't blame yourself." He whispers, looking back at me, his eyes fall to my stomach, I'm bigger, now, its hard to hide. Especially considering Titus keeps explaining that my scent is sweeter, another sign. Before i told him he pinned it down to arousal.
"Its still hard to believe." Titus comment causing me to nod. "Anyway, we should get inside, there's a hotel room prepared, we'll head straight up there, you're not required to attend the meeting-" I cut him off, "I want to. I want to protect our baby too." Titus only nods as he pushes open his door, stepping out. I follow behind, picking up my overnight bag from the footwell, before grabbing his hand as we cross over the road.
"This place is filled with humans, we're not in wolf territory anymore. Obviously you're used to them, but they dont know immediately that your with someone, so if anyone, and i mean anyone makes you uncomfortable. Tell me." I nod. Leaning further into him, "You don't have to worry, I know how to handle myself, sometimes." He chuckles as we push open the door, entering the lobby. Grand is an understatement.
The walls have small gold details lining each pillar and the floor is marble. People walk past me with their heads held high, wearing expensive looking clothes while i stand hear in a sweater and jeans. "How much did it cost to get us a room here?" I ask knowing Lance probably paid for himself and arrived yesterday to make sure everything was in check.
"That, tesoro, is nothing to worry your pretty little head about." He comments as he approaches the reception, the receptionist, looks up with a welcoming smile, "Welcome, what can i do for you and your daughter, sir?" Again with the daughter thing? Do i really look that young? Do i need to start drawing wrinkles on my face or something?
I look at the receptionist with shock, while she doesn't seem to have any flirtatious intent, i don't think it matter much to Titus. "Me and My wife have a booking under Romano." I see the dark skinned woman's face turn slightly red as she nods frantically, searching the name into her computer.
"Here is your key sir, sorry for the misunderstanding." Titus doesn't respond as he leads me away, "Some people..." He mutters trailing off. His tone sharp.
"It was a mistake, it's not like she tried to feel you up and said that as a way of eliminating me as competition. I apparently just look young." Titus takes my hand in his as we enter the elevator, following behind an older couple.
"Yes well people need to stop assuming." He hisses, i choose not to respond, not wanting to have this conversation in front of people. "Ahh, young love." The elderly woman comments catching the man i presume to be her husband's attention. "Doesn't that reminds you of our honeymoon Micheal."
"Yes dear." The man clearly has no interest in us. "Oh we were so young, we're lucky it worked out. We came to this hotel and then a month later i was was expecting our first child. Ahh, the memories. How long have you two been married?"
"A couple months now." Titus states in my silence, we're not married so do i just say the date of the Luna ceremony? "Well young man you are lucky you snatched her up while you could, with a beauty like that she must have dozens of admirers." Titus' grip on my hand tightens causing me to quickly rush in. "He scares them all away. He's a one hundred and something pounds of pure muscle."
"Dear, Lets stop harassing the couple shall we?" The elderly woman rolls her eyes as she leans closer to me, "Beware, they get grumpy when they're old." She whispers as the door opens, "Anyway, this is my floor, i hope to see you newlyweds around." I wave at the kind woman before the door closes, leaving just us.
"That was scary." I comment causing Titus to laugh, "Everything is scary to you tesoro."
I keep going MIA im so sorry lol
