Life is unpredictable, we can only live it well’ Destine said and made me exhale a long breath ‘Heart disease is horrible, but it depends on the person whether it will take them forward or backward’ Destine added and made me exhale a long breath because she was right.
It depends on the person…
Destine was right, I decided to move forward even though Titus rejected me, but Pearl decided to remain in place and let the negativity consume her.
The touch on my face startled me and made me jump a little in shock.
“What are you thinking so seriously that you’re gazing off like that?” Titus looked at me in concern before he got up from his position and seat on the bed.
I smiled before climbing on the bed and sitting beside him to rest my head on his shoulder.
“Why are you awake?” I asked as I put my arms out to cuddle at him.
He sighed and put his arms around me and tightened his embrace “Do you think I could sleep knowing you’re here?” I laugh when I hear his answer.
So, he pretended to be asleep.
“What’s wrong?” He asked again.
I couldn’t hide anything from him…
“I’m just…” What should I tell him?
“I’m sorry I brought you into this” He cut me off before I could speak and made me stare at him again.
He thinks I’m overwhelmed by his problems?
I cupped his cheek and made him look back at me “That’s life and that’s mate, there can’t be only beautiful things in life can there?” He was silent as he continued to stare at me as if he was looking for a lie.
“Having you is the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to me, and I also found my strength from you. Don’t think about anything else because I will continue to stand by you” I state firmly.
He looked at me sharply before nodding his head with a small smile before pecking my forehead “So, tell me what you think about the old lady before I listen to the other’s explanation” I raised my eyebrows at his words.
It’s hard not to smile happily knowing that your mate thinks your words are important and meaningful to your mate.
**********
The next morning everyone was already gathered in the hall when Titus and I entered, our pack members who were there immediately stood up and straightened up before bowing as a sign of respect to us.
They also took their seats as Titus and I sat down in the chairs that had been provided.
Sometimes I have to get used to these things, after all Titus is the Alpha king and this kind of respect is a natural thing to do, but still I like to be surprised by it.
“Have you recovered, Alpha?” Lola chided and made all the members turn round in surprise at the way she spoke to their king.
Titus just nodded his head “I need to thank you for all the things you do for my pack members” He spoke calmly and with the aura of a leader, which always made me admire the way he carried himself and spoke.
Lola just smiled a little while continuing to stare intently at my mate who was also staring back at her.
