During this tough time, I never left Titus' side. I wanted to make sure that I'd be by his side as soon as he woke up. I couldn't sleep properly for the past two days.

Her words hit me, but not enough to sway me. "I'm afraid I can't do that."

She frowned, an edge of impatience in her eyes. "What gives you the right to keep people from seeing him?"

I could feel I feel the surge of possessiveness rising in me. I lifted my chin. "I am his wife," I said proudly, daring her to argue. But she only gave a smug smile, her eyes gleaming with something smug. "Hate to break it to you," she said slowly, "but haven't you heard? The marriages to the dethroned king have already been declared null and void. All his other concubines have already left and returned to their packs." packs.

Her words hit like a slap, but I forced myself not to flinch. "That doesn't change anything," I said, my voice unwavering. "He's still my husband in every way that matters."
