SAGE

Dinner ended peacefully, a rare and beautiful moment where we sat together-not as scattered pieces of a broken past, but as a real family. It felt surreal. For so long, I had convinced myself that a life without Titus was inevitable, that raising our children without him was my only reality. Yet, here we were. A family, whole at last.

Fate had tested us, throwing one cruel challenge after another. The Moon Goddess, in all her wisdom, had woven a path filled with heartbreak and longing. But somehow, despite it all, we found our way back to each other.

After dinner, we took the children to their own rooms. Their excitement was infectious, especially when they realized they wouldn't have to share a space anymore. I had no doubt that Titus would spoil them beyond reason, making up for all the time he had lost.

Once Harper and Cooper were settled, I turned to head toward my room, only to feel a strong yet gentle hand slip into mine. Titus laced our fingers together, a smirk playing on his lips as he tugged me in the opposite direction.

"Where do you think you're taking me?" I asked, raising a brow.

He didn't hesitate. "To my chambers, of course," he replied as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

I hesitated. "I don't think that's a good idea."

Titus chuckled, stepping closer until there was barely any space between us. "If you think I'm letting you out of my sight, even for a minute, then you clearly don't know me as well as you think." His voice dropped lower, sending a shiver down my spine. "You have years to make up to me, Sage. And I intend to collect."

Before I could protest, he tightened his grip on my hand and continued leading me toward his chamber, leaving no room for argument.

My heart pounded with every step as Titus led me toward his chambers. The air between us was thick with unspoken words, unhealed wounds, and a longing neither of us could ignore.

As we reached his room, he pushed the doors open, revealing the familiar space I had once shared with him. His scent lingered in the air, wrapping around me like a memory I had tried so hard to bury.

Titus turned to face me, his fingers still curled around mine, his grip firm yet gentle. His piercing blue eyes held a glint of

dripping with amusement. "Don't worry, kitten. I'm not going to eat you."

But the way he said it sent shivers down my spine. He meant something else entirely. And we both knew it.

I swallowed hard, my heart pounding against my ribs. "I-I'm not scared," I replied, forcing my voice to remain steady despite the betraying heat crawling up my neck.

Titus tilted his head, the amusement in his gaze only deepening. "Oh, really?" he drawled, taking a slow step forward. The warmth of his body, his intoxicating scent, was almost overwhelming.

I instinctively stepped back, but his fingers tightened ever so slightly around mine, anchoring me in place. "But you should be," he murmured, his voice a rich whisper against my skin.

I sucked in a sharp breath, my pulse skittering wildly. I should be afraid of the way my body reacted to him, of the way his presence alone melted every ounce of resistance I tried to hold onto.
