I waited patiently until he was done talking before he sat his phone down and then turned my head towards him. I looked down at him and licked my lips as they suddenly felt dried and my throat feels parched. His finger moved to trace my lips gently and in its wake a small heat tingled on my lips.

"So beautiful." He whispered and then his hand snaked through my hair and pulled me down to meet him halfway as his lips molded perfectly over mine.

I sighed escaped my lips as he sucked on my lips several times before slipping his tongue inside. If I thought his touch was wild fire, his kisses had me burning on the inside and out. The sensation multiplied and I felt myself wrapping my arms around him urging him to continue. My toes curled at the overwhelming sensation and a sound came from the back of my throat.

When he pulled back and started trailing kisses down my jaw line I tilted my head enough to give him access. He growled his excitement as he sees how willing I was as his mate. He was an intoxicating drug and I loved it. Every time I was around him my mind seems to be in a numbing state.

"Titus..."I whispered. He hummed his response as he sucked on his earlier love bite. "The phone please."

He sighed and dropped his forehead onto my shoulder as he reached for his phone and handed it to me.

"You really know how to kill the mood." He mumbled. I couldn't help the smile that came on my face as I dialed the Alpha line. Shortly after, Kailyn picked up.

"Kailyn, this is Patience." I said eagerly. Kailyn squealed on the other end.

"Oh my god, Patience! You called. How are you doing? How is he treating you? Tell me all about it." She went on and I blushed turning the volume down even though I knew either way Titus will hear everything. His hand was naughtily moving up and down my side.

"I'm doing great. It's beautiful here. He is treating me well. I just wanted to call and let you an everyone know I am doing great and made it safely. I wanted to speak to dad. Do you think you can go get him?" I asked.

"Yes. Hold on for a few minutes." She said. I heard some shuffling and noises before the phone went silent. I knew she had left the room. A moment later I heard shuffling and noises again as the phone was being picked up.

"Patience..."Kyle's voice came on the end. He sounded weary. When I didn't answer him he spoke again. "Please talk to me. I need to hear your voice."

Titus's body went rigid as he listened. "Alpha, how are you doing?"

"Please don't say that. Call me Kyle. You use to call me that." He pleaded. His voice was broken.

"I prefer Alpha instead." I replied calmly.

"It's Kyle, please. I miss you, Patience." Titus released a growl and I moved to touch his chest where I began moving my hand up and down his body. Part of it to calm him down but I can't deny that I don't enjoy touching his hard chest.

"You have to stop, Alpha. This has to end. You have my sister. It's actually a good thing you picked up, Alpha. Now that you have my sister and I have Titus I think it is best if you and I make a clean break." I began and Kyle interrupted.

"No. Don't do what I think you are doing." He retorted immediately. "I won't let you do it."

"I, Patience Valek accept your rejection, Alpha Kyle from Greenwood Pack."

And it was like a string that snapped between us. The last of our bond completely letting go and I heard Kyle roaring on the other side of the phone. He was an idiot and my sister deserved better than him.

"Patience, I am not letting you go. I am coming for you. I don't care about your sister or her feelings anymore." He said angrily on the other end. "You're mine! It was stupid of me to let you go. You are coming back home with me when I get there. I'll rip that ass-"

Titus stole the phone from me and placed it by his ear as he spoke threateningly. "Come for her and I'll kill you before you can cross my territory."

"She's mine!" Kyle roared on the other end.

"Not anymore she isn't." Titus replied back. "Now she is mine."

Kyle roared on the other end and I heard Kailyn shouting at him to stop. I heard noises and my father's voice trying to calm Kyle down. I no longer felt anything for him. The bond I had him no longer existed and the only bond visible enough for me was Titus. The phone got picked back up and my father came on the other end.

"Patience, we have to let you go. I wish I can talk to you further but it looks like we have our hands full right now." He said quickly.

"It's okay dad. I'll talk to you another day. I am sorry."

"Don't be sorry, Patience. This is not your fault." He replied."I have to go. I will talk to you soon."

After that we hung up quickly. Titus wrapped his arms around me as he sniffed me to help calm him down. He was feeling on edge too probably due to the threat that was issued by another Alpha. It was a challenge and his wolf must be feeling on edge. I wrapped my arms around him.

Kailyn

My dad and the Beta were nailing down my mate who seemed to look like a crazy male. He was growling like crazy and shouting that she was his. Deep inside of me something tugged and I knew something was wrong. Something I never bothered to look at or see. It was as if someone put a blind over my eyes.

"Kailyn, get out of here." My dad ordered.

"But-" I started.

"Get out!" My dad commanded again. I hesitated and then I glanced back at Kyle. I didn't want to leave him. He needed me.

Kyle whipped around to look at me. His eyes blazing with angers directed at me, "I don't love you. I thought I did. I love your sister. She's mine! She's my true mate!"

The air in my lungs left me. I felt my world spinning around me. Memories flickered through my mind, all those years of seeing Patience in pain, crying, and looking heartbroken. I never would've thought it was Kyle. Out of all the male in the pack it was him. I shook my head and Kyle looked at me still angry.

"Yes, it's true. She's mine. I thought I loved you. I made a mistake. I need her. She's my rightful Luna that the moon goddess gave me. I thought the bond with you will grow but it didn't. I only grew to love your sister more and more." Each word was like a knife to the heart. Tears streamed down my face. Why didn't Patience tell me? Why didn't my parents tell me? I felt stupid. I felt hurt and betrayed. How could they do this to me? I lived a life that was mine but then I can't blame them could I? It was my fault that I chose a chosen instead of waiting for my true mate.

The betrayal from my family hurt but my stupidity also made me hate myself. I should've seen what was in front of my eyes. My dad looked at me from the ground as he pinned down Kyle.

"Don't." He said quietly. "We did it because she wanted you to be happy. You were already with Kyle then. She didn't want to hurt you."

I turned back to Kyle and truly looked at him. He spent his nights saying he loved me but it was all a lie. He didn't love me. I was a replacement for Patience.

"You never loved me, did you?" I asked him. His eyes were still black but his shoulder relaxed a little.

"I did love you but I can't fight what the moon goddess gave me. For years, I fought it thinking I was doing the right thing but for those years I have grown to love her more and more. I am sorry, Kailyn."

Tears streamed down my face and the sudden surge of anger tore through me. I glared at him. How could he sleep with me and speak of words of love to me all this time when it was all a lie?

"Sorry doesn't cut it, Kyle. You stay away from my sister. She's happy now. Don't you dare go near her. You don't deserve her and you don't deserve me. We are done." I spoke through my tears, surprisingly calm. I looked at my dad who looked sad as he looked at me. I couldn't look at him. No. It would only break my heart even more. I spun on my heels and ran out of the office with one intention in my mind. I needed to get to Patience. I needed to apologize for all the pain I have caused her.
