“Then why do you want to find your mate?” She asked innocently.
I couldn’t help but pinch her cheeks “Because I’m more than enough to have a partner who will be with me forever, right?” I replied.
She nodded “Then I’ll be your mate then”
I can’t help but laughed at that time hearing her words.
“Grow first, then you’ll understand” Was my response at the time.
*****
Exhaling a long breath, I looked at my mate who was fast asleep after the exhausting activities I had done to her.
It had taken me 400 years to find her, and in that long time I had only learned of the many things Pearl had done after she had turned into someone I no longer knew.
Are there any places that Pearl considers special? Gwen asked me this, but I truly do not know where…
A lot of things happened when she was young but I had no idea that her feelings for me were so strong that she would do this horrible thing to punish me.
‘My mother warned me that you would find your mate, but I believe I am your mate, Rolf Titus’
I’m learning magic for you, so I can be your mate, help you win this war, Rolf Titus’
‘Rolf Titus… I curse you, a man without a heart, not to find happiness… Love will come only to end in suffering, Lonely F. o. r. e. v. e. r… Hahahaha’
Someone cupped my cheek and made me look in his direction.
Gwen looked into my eyes as if she knew what was going through my mind.
“I thought you were asleep” I whispered softly and she smiled before pulling my head into her arms.
Wordlessly she always knew what was on my mind, knew when I blamed myself and chastised myself for everything that happened so she always gave me the warmth of her love and support.
“It’s not your fault, Titus” she cooed gently, as if she knew what I was thinking right now “Let’s end this together” she continued and without realizing it I wrapped my arms around her to tighten our embrace.
“Together” I agree while nodding my head, not caring that I am currently showing my weakness clearly to the woman who is my mate who I know will open her arms to help me without judging me.
A woman who accepts me and forgives me despite knowing my faults.
My Fated mate…
Waking up to the smell of food, I sat up before grabbing my clothes and walking out to see breakfast already served at the dining table of our hotel room.
“What’s this?” I whispered with a smile before taking a pinch of bread and eating it.
Titus wasn’t there when I woke up and gasped in surprise as I felt a hug from behind and the intoxicating scent of his body enveloping me.
“Good morning, baby” came a low voice in my ear.
