Chapter: 281

*****

2 hours later, convinced that my Titus had returned, I explained everything to him.

And he was wide–eyed with shock at what I knew…

Yes, I’m sure that out of all the scenarios he thought of, he never expected this, but we have to stick to the plan.

“Then, you’re telling me to keep acting like I’m interested in her?” He asked with a horrified look at the thought of what he should do to another woman.

It’s a funny thing to see, but if I remember how close I came to losing the man in front of me because of that woman, I don’t want to laugh.

I touched his cheek and nodded my head “There is no other choice because these few days our mate–bond has been broken by her so you have an attraction to that female doctor” I tried to speak calmly, but still growled in annoyance as I said my last words.

Titus noticed my annoyance and smiled a little before wrapping his arms around my body to give me a comforting hug.

“I’m sorry you had to see me like that… I’m a stupid man!” He said and I just nodded my head while wiping away the tears that I didn’t expect to fall from my eyes.

Shit… I still hate knowing he kissed that female doctor!

Ugh!

He seemed to understand the pain I was feeling, so he kept embracing me as if it was something he wanted to show me that I would always be in his arms.

And it worked… Destine and I calmed down a little from the warm embrace he gave me.

“I love you Gwen.. Only you, love” He kept whispered the words and I start smiling when I hear it.

Knock.. Knock…

“They’re coming” Alexa’s voice came from outside telling us that the female doctor was walking towards my room.

Titus and I reluctantly let go of our embrace and started to behave like brothers and sisters and still didn’t know the real thing that happened. Yes… we must continue to behave like this until Melissa manages to find where the woman hid the potion she gave to the patients here to damage the mate–bond and destroy it so that no one is harmed by it anymore. You’re against the clock but you still have to be reasonable so that the female doctor doesn’t get suspicious at all or you’ll fail.

Yes… we can’t afford to lose.

I hope Titus can pretend because I know he is a person who hates the slightest lie, but this is something he must do or we will lose.

Click…

“Good morning” Doctor Wendy came inside when I lay on my bed and Titus abruptly stood up from his chair when he saw her coming.

“Hey” He greeted her and I tried to hold my emotion when I heard him speaking nicely to her.

Calm down, Destine… I try to assure my wolf and myself, I guess.

“Hi Titus.” He greeted my mate with a dreamy look that I wanted to pry from his eyes.

Damn it!!!
