Chapter 99

SAGE

Hours had passed since Anna had taken Titus back to their room The longer she kept him in there, the more uneasy I felt. I'd even offered to ask Klara for help, knowing she'd been studying magic for some time and might be able to case whatever pain or confusion Titus was in. But Anna had shut me down immediately, claiming she knew exactly how to take care of him on her own.

It didn't sit right with me. Her insistence on handling things alone was definitely suspicious. It almost felt like she was hiding something, like she wanted to keep everyone, especially me, away from him.

I found myself standing outside their door, staring at the closed wood, debating whether I should knock and ask about Titus myself. After a few long moments, I finally raised my hand and gave the door a soft knock. Almost immediately, Anna appeared, slipping out and shutting the door tightly behind her. She blocked the entrance with her body, as if daring me to push past her.

"What is it that you want, Sage?" she asked, her voice laced with irritation.

"I just wanted to see how Titus is," I said, trying to keep my tone even.

She crossed her arms, her eyes narrowing. "He's fine. He's already asleep, resting."

"Really?" I asked, unable to fully mask the suspicion in my voice

Anna's brows lifted, her mouth tightening. "Why would you think otherwise?"

I kept my expression neutral. "Nothing. We were just worried about him, that's all."

"We'? Or do you mean 'you?" She shot back.

My heart skipped a beat, but I held her gaze, deciding there was no point in pretending otherwise. "So, what if I am?"

Anna's expression darkened, and she took a deliberate step forward, the kind of territorial step that said she saw me as a threat. Her jaw clenched, her voice dropping to a low, possessive tone. "Titus is mine, Sage. He was mine first, and he will always be mine. Stop trying to come between us."

I felt a flare of anger, but I kept my voice calm, my expression steady. "I'm not trying to come between anything, Anna. But if he's truly yours, then you shouldn't feel so threatened, should you?"
