Two days have passed, yet Titus remained unconscious. It's a good thing that Elara's medicine efficiently works on him. His wounds healed up fast despite the severity of his injuries.

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."
