Chapter 93
As Titus slowed his pace and lowered his body so I could get off his back, I let out a long breath to look around and sat on the side of the lake without looking back because I knew he was always beside me and looking at me intently without taking his eyes off me for a second.
This is like a dream… Good? Bad? I can’t decide yet.
Staring at the scene in front of me, if only I wasn’t in such a strange situation right now, I would have been mesmerised by the beauty of nature in front of me.
Why do I look like I’m accepting this nonsense?
What else can I do?
I didn’t remember anything about my past life, who I was, my family, my home, anything, and they were the ones who had recently pointed out that I wasn’t alone, that there was a family who knew me there and was waiting for me, so I held on to that, even though knowing this nonsense was a part of my life, I thought I deserved an explanation they gave me and let me decide whether I will trust them or not.
There’s a saying ‘you can’t run from your past’ but what if I’m not running but can’t remember anything about my past? What happens then?
Moving forward…
Yes, that’s what I did when I woke up and Jack told me his lies about me, but in the end my instinct recognised the lies so here I am, in a situation where my past comes back to haunt me, a past that I can’t remember so I can’t judge whatever people tell me, is it the truth or another lie?
Tap… The footsteps tell me that he has transformed from his wolfish figure.

Yes, Titus had already turned into a human figure as he sat beside me and I looked at him confused at the clothes he was wearing.
“Every werewolf territory has a secret place where clothes are kept for sudden use” He explained as if he knew my unspoken question.
So, that explains how he has clothes on. Not that I am sad to not be able to see him naked, but..Oh shut up, why do I have to think about him naked?!
“I see” Was my stu**d response before staring back at the water in front of me without saying another word.
“Gwen, Don’t you have any questions you want to throw at me?”
I heard him talking, but I just hugged myself tighter without saying anything.
Yes, I have so many questions, but I don’t know what to ask first.
I can’t think at the moment…
“As you know my name is Rolf Titus Osmund, I am the last descendant of king Rolf Osmund, the king of the Alphas who lives in New Zealand” Seeing me unmoved and still staring at the lake water in front of us, Titus seemed to decide to tell a
story.
So he’s the king of the Alphas…
Well… that explains why Alexa calls him my king, I thought still -silent but still listening to his words.
“Maybe you heard this, but you’re my mate, in the human world it’s like a life partner but forever, there’s no such thing as divorce in the werewolf world with a mate…” He fell silent for a moment to catch his breath and made me glance sideways to see him “However, you are my second chance given by the Moon Goddess, my second chance of my fated mate” My eyes

widened at that.
“Didn’t you say mate only happens once?” I responded quickly and he nodded his head with a wry smile “So how…?”
“Gwen, I am 412 years old…” He smiled wider when he saw my shocked expression.
WHAT?!
“You’re ancient..” Oops.. I quickly put my hand on my mouth to shut me out after I said it but instead of being angry he laughed out loud “Sorry..” I quickly muttered in shame.
I tense up a little when I feel his strong arms placed behind me and pull me close before groaning as if he’s infatuated with me.
Again, I didn’t feel the disgust or the urge to vomit that I felt every time Jack approached me.
“I’m sorry, I can’t hold back my wolf anymore” I heard Titus whisper as he continued to tighten his embrace and I let him inhale my head deeply “One month we lost you and the moment we found you knowing you didn’t recognise me almost drove me crazy, please let us hold you for a while” He sounded sincere when he said it and I didn’t have the strength to push him away so I remained silent letting him hold me close.
“What happened to your um… first mate?” I asked softly.
He let go of the hug and returned to his position sitting beside me but I stared at his hand as he took mine and clasped it tightly.
“Catherine, she was murdered by a black witch hundreds of years ago” I widened my eyes in shock but didn’t want to interrupt him and let him continue “And you managed to kill the black witch last month, who was the mate of my uncle, Jack, so he kidnapped you to avenge me”
I had to blink a few times as I absorbed his words before looking back at him.

“What?!”

He looked amused but nodded his head “I know it’s hard to grasp but the point is, Jack is my uncle, he’s the twin of my father, the king, who thinks he’s more worthy of being king than me, then the problem with the black witch, Pearl who apparently has feelings for me was taken advantage of by him so here we are now”
Wow….
I let out a long breath and made him chuckle again.
No wonder he didn’t explain to me when we first met and found out I had lost my memory of him.
There’s no way I would have believed it back then…
Second mate… Black witch… throne rivalry… Wow… I don’t know what to say, this is too much for one night.
But, wait a minute…
“What do you mean I managed to kill the black witch?” I frown in wonder when I realize his words back about me back then “Do you mean I am also a werewolf?”
Is that why I have that dream? The white-wolf I saw in my dream…
“Am I a white-wolf?” I added and now it is his turn to frown while staring in shock at me.
“Do you remember something?” He quickly asked but I sadly shook my head to answer him “So, how do you know?” “From a dream?” I quipped and made him frown deeper. “Lola paid for the black magic with our immortality, Morena and Melissa also said the black magic would disappear completely before their mother left the world after Pearl’s death, but is it possible that Melissa and Morena are still capable of using magic?” I just stared at him as he seemed to be talking to himself, it is not a conversation he seems to shoot at

me, but to himself.
Watching him and listening to his explanation, there was no way he was lying, right? This was too complex for a lie.
And my dream…
Everything in my dream seemed to relate to the story he was telling me right now.
So it wasn’t a dream, I was right, it was a memory…
The poison.. That’s why Jack gave that poison…
They said it is wolfsbane…. I guess it’s poison for a werewolf… “Titus..” He turned his gaze back at me when I called his name without meeting his eyes.
I have to know this…
I gulped nervously “You mentioned about me dying?” I finally turned my gaze at him when I spoke and watched his expression turn serious the moment I said it.
“No.. I won’t let it happen. I will find a cure for you and won’t let you die, not on my watch, Gwen, I won’t allow you to leave me again!” He states firmly like it can be negotiated and I can’t help myself when I raise my hand to touch his cheek with a small smile.
He looked vulnerable and mad after I mentioned about me dying and it’s the final answer about everything for me.
Oh G*d, how can I doubt him?
The man in front of me is truly in love with me… I could tell by -only looking at him right now, it is different from Jack who
tells me I am his wife but shows no affection toward me, unlike him.
Titus looked startled as I touched his cheek and he looked at me sharply without blinking, I don’t know who moved first, but I gasped loudly as his lips touched mine and felt an electric shiver that I never knew I could feel.

Is this a bond mate?
Oh G*d, I’m his truly fated mate?!
