Finally Found

Chapter [6]

[I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul.]

The day after Titus’ encounter with Blyth left him on edge, the fact that his own pack members had harmed his mate, their luna, left him pissed. ‘Mathew send Brittany James and Drew Oliver to my office’ He mind linked his beta. Soon after there was a knock at the door. Titus quickly gave them permission to enter, and in walked the source of his anger. ”You called Alpha,” Drew said standing awkwardly by the door. When it came to higher-ranking wolves Drew knew his place, ever since he was arrogant enough to challenge Mathew for the title of beta. Although it was a funny scene for the rest of the pack it left Drew in serious condition: two fractured ribs, a broken leg, stitches on his left forearm, and a concussion. 

Drew was made an example for anyone thinking of going up against the beta. “Yes, tell me what you know about a girl named Blyth Lux,” Titus asked, somehow managing his anger, even though his wolf was telling him to rip them limb from limb.  “What about her, she’s a pathetic b***h” Brittany answered her annoying, high-pitched voice sounded like nails scratching against a chalkboard. 

In an instance Brittany was pinned against the nearest wall Titus’ hand wrapped against her neck, his claws ready to dig into her flesh. Titus was almost at his breaking point, his eyes pitch, black canines extended, his wolf ready to claim blood. “Disrespect my mate again and I will slit your throat and watch you bleed out,” Titus said sneezing Brittany’s neck tighter.  Titus held his wolf in as much as he could but he didn’t want to. These two pups hurt his mate and he wanted to make them pay for it but Titus knew he couldn’t kill any of his pack members, it was absolutely necessary. 

Yet that wasn’t going to stop him from teaching them a lesson. “Anything you have to say for yourselves?” Titus questioned with a murderous look in his eyes. “N-no Alpha, we’re sorry I promise it won’t happen again,” Drew said, showing his neck in submission. Titus let out a cold dangerous laugh that left Drew and Brittany shaken to the core. “You think I’m letting you go that easily,” Titus said a wicked smile gracing his face. “From this point on you, two have been demoted to omegas and to fill any request you are given. If you fail to do this you will be punished severely,”

“You can’t do this to us, that is not fair, I refuse to be demoted for a wretched human!” Brittany screamed. A sickening crack sounded and the scent of blood filled the room. Titus dropped the unconscious girl to the floor and looked over at Drew and said “Anything you wanna say about the matter,” Drew quickly shook his head no. “Good, now that her out of here and if you lay another hand on my mate I won’t hesitate to kill you”

Drew hauled Brittany across the room and out the door. Not soon after Mathew appeared in his office. “Why was that kid lugging a girl outta here,” Mathew asked, a concern written across his sculpted features. “I have my reasons” Titus answered, shrugging off his question. Ever since their fallout it left the two on shaky ground. “No Titus answer the damn question, your the f*****g Alpha so act like it!” Mathew yelled. A low growl erupted from Titus’ chest “Remember what I said the last time Mathew, I will deal with problems concerning my mate my own way.” 

“Titus you-“ Mathew started to say. “No Mathew, those two hurt my mate, Thierry Luna and I will not take that sitting. They caused them physical harm so they have to be punished. I know you have a problem with her but I don’t know. How would you feel if someone hurt Isabella?” Titus said, trying to appeal to Mathew. Mathew and Isabella have been mated since high school one of the reasons Titus was so desperate to find his mate. Seeing the two happy and loving one another hurt Titus, it made him like he had a hole only Blyth could fill. “They bullied her for years both physically and mentally, they are the reason she believes I would think she’s pathetic for not standing up against them, and that is not ok.” 

“I’m sorry,” Mathew said defeatedly.

“For what?”

“For not being there for you, I know finding your mate meant a lot to you and I wasn’t very supportive”

“Thank you, Mathew, that means a lot coming from you”

“And I get your just doing what your instincts tell I mean if someone hurt Isabella I’d be ready to rip their head off” 

“I know I’ve seen it before” Titus laughed halfheartedly. “So tell me about her, '' Mathew said, taking an interest in Titus’ personal life. After all, Titus was his best friend. “Man she’s perfect, and beautiful even though she doesn’t see it. And her smile, God her smile is to die for I swear I’d do anything to see it, she f*****g pushes me away and it hurts like hell but I just can’t stay away from her. I-I think I’m falling in love with her.” Titus said with a smile on his boyish face. Thinking about Blyth made his heart race, his hostile demeanor completely forgotten now replaced with a lovesick puppy. 

“Damn dude she’s got you totally whipped,” Mathew said teasingly. “Please when you met Isabella you went soft” Titus wittingly replied. “Yeah but you’re the big bad Alpha, the one that strikes fear into the hearts of others, the one who shows no mercy,” Mathew said, sounding like an anime narrator. 

“Shut up,” Titus said, throwing the nearest item. “Ouch” Mathew faked being hurt. “That’s what you get for doing an i***t, now go do some work or something” Titus laughed. “Alright, the whipped one” Mathew said bowing like a monk. Mathew left Titus thinking about how much he had changed over the short time he had known Blyth but that’s what mates do to you. They change you for the better or worst and Titus wasn’t sure what Blyth was doing to him.
