The Alpha & Beta’s Regret – Chapter 119

Jo-anne POV

Titan woke 40 minutes later, sat up and looked around the room, then just sighed “That was not fun, hurt like a bitch.” He muttered.

Jo-anne nodded “And I’ve not even looked into your mind yet.”

“Great!”

His comment made everyone in the room chuckle just a little, bar himself. “Do you recall what happened?” Jo-anne asked him “Think about it, I might not need to see inside your mind. If you can pull your memories to you at will now. I’m not certain what I did left them completely intact.” She told him honestly.

“What did you do exactly? kind of felt like you were ripping my brain out.”

She nodded, didn’t really surprise her. “I pulled the magic that was affecting your memories from you, it took a long time, an hour I was told.”

“What time is it now?” he asked.

“You were out about 40 minutes,” West told him.

She saw Titan blink and then just nod, watched him sit quietly, and knew he was checking his own memories, trying to recall what had happened to him. Watched on as he frowned a few times and then just opened his eyes and looked right at her.

“I don’t know to be honest. I still feel it’s not right in there. I’m still somewhat confused.”

“Do you want me to look?” Jo-anne asked him. “There are two ways, one that only I’ll see, and one that when I see you will also see, though that option will see you throw up afterwards.”

“What’s the point of only you seeing?” Titan frowned at her.

“I offer this in case you don’t want to relive it.” she told him simply, “Some don’t.” she shrugged.

“I want to know.” Titan stated, “So, Luna…Dig away I guess.”

Jo-anne sat forward herself and beckoned him to turn and face her, handed him that bin from the floor, “You’ll need that.” She told him, knew he was going to vomit afterwards, how much was up to him and what he could handle. Some threw up a little, some threw up a lot.

He took it and then drew in a long deep breath “How long will this take?”

“As long as it takes.” She shrugged “It’s different for everyone.” Reached out her hands “It will hurt less if you’re completely open to it and don’t fight it at all.”

Saw him nodding, “I want this Luna. I won’t fight it.” he assured her.

Heard both West and T.J. snort “You’ll try not to.”

She shook her own head and shut them out to focus on the task at hand, put both her hands on his head and saw that white haze that happened when her eyes changed and she accessed that seers ability within. Thought about what she was looking for, Titan and his trip with the Luna and her sister.

Felt it rush forwards towards her, then there it was, saw it. Latched right onto it and let it flow. Titan was driving and those two were ranting in the back seat about him being with them, showing him how much they didn’t want him on their trip, didn’t even seem to care that it was insulting the man.

He had pulled up at the small packhouse of their former pack, Melissa had rounded on the man even before she’d got out of the car, to stay the hell away from her and her sister the whole time they were there. Then she had stalked off into that packhouse, yelling for her father.

Titan had gotten out of the car and casually strolled after the two of them, regardless of his Luna’s yelling, had orders from his Beta to follow. The man had found himself face to face with her father, Alpha Colby, who had frowned right at him and his presence inside his pack.

“Why are you here?” he’d been asked right away.

“To protect the Luna and Beta’s Mates from Victor Sampson,” Titan had answered the question.

“Go home, it’s not necessary, I can protect my daughter,” Alpha Colby had stated firmly.

Titan had refused to leave, informing him he was under orders from both his Alpha and Beta to stay in sight of their Mates at all times.

Alpha Colby had frowned deeply at him, then had turned and walked away, but come back only an hour later, with a young she-wolf next to him, told him he could spend the nights with her while he was there. She was single and happy to be with him.

The she-wolf, scented of omega b***d, had bowed her head and stated “yes” at his questioning look. But he got the impression she wasn’t happy about it. He’d declined on the fact that he had a longstanding relationship, a girlfriend and he was loyal to her.

Melissa had come out of her room and pushed the girl at him, he had side-stepped her, or his wolf, Oscar had side-stepped him, and when the girl had reached out to touch him a moment later, Oscar had snarled right at her all aggression, “Not my Mate.” His beast liked Andy and her wolf Cassie, was actually itching to have her wolf for himself, there year of waiting was nearly up and Cassie was going to be his, they often walked together and rubbed their body’s on each other. Oscar was like Titan, neither of them would touch another.

He trailed Melissa and Maria through their pack, had been told to go away, he’d just ignored it, they seemed to be going somewhere, but then had just changed their minds and gone back to their room, to which he’d set himself up, out in the hallway, had not been given a room at this point.

Titan had found himself evicted from the packhouse at midnight by Alpha Colby himself. Told point blankly “You’ll sleep outside, my daughter is angry with you.”

He’d stared at the man and not been allowed back inside the packhouse, it had been locked up by the Alpha himself. Titan had set himself up not that far away, on the forest line. Being outside didn’t bother him at all. He stayed in full sight of the packhouse and the trail which those two had taken during the day and then changed their minds on.

He saw them sneak out about 3 in the morning, and asked casually “Where are you going, Luna?” he’d startled them both completely, seemed they’d not known where he was or thought he’d be sleeping, he guessed.

He’d been yelled at by his Luna to stay the hell away from her, and then she and Maria had stalked off back to the packhouse. He knew right then that wherever they had been trying to go all afternoon and now in the wee hours of the morning. They did not want him to know about it.

Had known that something was off, that this was also likely the very reason he was now here under Jack’s order to watch them. So he and his wolf had decided when one was asleep the other would be awake, to keep a full eye on them at all times 24 hours a day.

He’d not been offered food or water either. The same happened again the next day, spent it tracking those two she-wolves. He was not just on the lookout for them anymore, but scenting for them as well, seeing that they were actively trying to avoid him now. Didn’t really help them, and it ticked them both off royally so.

Though his tracking them by scent had seen him come to a dead halt on day three, at the sight of Maria all cosied up with Melissa, he’d not expected to see them in the woods kissing each other, getting all hot and heavy, he’d stepped behind a tree and stayed out of sight. Frowned right at them, sisters should not k**s like that, then their hands were on each other and he’d known they were about to actually get it on. Had actually snapped a few photos of them on his phone as proof of what he’d seen that day.

Then he’d left it alone, but had shown them that photo later. He knew that Rafe and Jack were not allowed to share them, but would love to. Those two didn’t allow it, why he now wondered after seeing them.

Melissa had ordered him right then and there to not tell anyone from the Black Forest Pack what he saw here in the Wolf Valley Pack, ordered him to hand over the phone and deleted the photos from his phone. Then those two hadn’t cared what he’d seen, that was until he’d kissed Maria and the girl had practically tried to rip his clothes off and humped him stupid.

He had found Melissa glaring at him, and then wolves had come from everywhere, and he’d been in one battle after another. Fighting for his life, he had stalked off to find Melissa, his wounds still healing, and threatened her himself, only to be tranquillised.

He’d been in and out of consciousness for how long, he didn’t know after that, caught snippets of conversations between Melissa and Maria and some old woman. He had managed to drag his drugged body out of the bed he’d been laying in and into the hallway, seen them out there.

Tried to focus on them only to be seen and then he was once more unconscious. Had woken up out in the woods later, who knew how long later, a bunch of wolfen loaded beer bottles all around him and two naked she-wolves draped over him, the minute he had sat up and he had shoved them away.

Wasn’t interested and didn’t believe he’d been with them or had gotten drunk on wolfen loaded beer either. Didn’t like beer, wouldn’t touch it with a ten-foot pole. Only ever drank Vodka, nothing else.

He’d known that what he was seeing was a lie, not only that Oscar had been severed from him for a further 15 minutes after he’d woken up, being drunk didn’t sever your wolf from you. He’d known something had happened to him.

He just didn’t know exactly what it was, his memories were all fuzzy and he felt confused about them. He had images of him lazing about the pool, hanging out and having a nice time here inside this pack, with both the Luna and her sister.

He seriously doubted he’d actually been awake for any of, or not much of the time he’d been there, he had too many missing gaps in his memories, nothing seemed to connect to another, didn’t know how he got from point A to point B, so to speak. He recalled both Melissa and Maria giggling before they left the Wolf Valley Pack, telling him they thought he was hilarious when he was roarously drunk, which according to them he had been the whole time he was there, couldn’t hold his liquor.

That he was one horny bastard, and had gone about f*****g different she-wolves every night, before just passing out drunk, that they were glad he’d had a good time. Had giggled even more.

He had gotten more than ticked off, he knew he didn’t drink to excess on any given day, and certainly not when on a job. Wouldn’t touch anything at all. He also knew that he would never cheat on Andy, he loved her. He had one fleeting memory of tossing a dead body at Melissa’s feet and yelling at her he’d s*******r the whole pack if it didn’t stop. Though it had hurt at the time to yell that.

Those two had continued to talk about him in the car on their drive back to the Black forest Pack, only to have him jam the brakes on and turn to glare right at them. He’d had enough his and Oscars’ anger had been unleashed upon them, “I don’t know what you did to me, but I’m going to find a way to tell Rafe and Jack about the two of you lying bitches and rid you from our pack.” He’d roared at them inside that car.

She’d stared at him for a moment completely shocked, realised he must still have some of his memories and then a new Luna’s Order was yelled at him, “You will not tell anyone from the Black Forest Pack what you saw or heard. I forbid it as your Luna.”

He had spent the rest of the drive with a screaming headache as he’d tried to figure out what was real and what was not. He’d been glad to see Luci, had smiled instantly at the sight of her, even happier to see Luna Addison was in the pack, knew he had a way around that order the moment his eyes landed on her.

Jo-anne let go of Titan and heard him gag twice before seeing him throw up. His memories were incomplete even to her, but that she thought was because he’d been in and out of consciousness and so didn’t actually know what had happened to him the entire time he’d been out there.

Sat and waited for him to put that bin down, “Thank you.” he murmured, “But I still don’t have all my memories.”

“I know.” She nodded “It’s likely you’ll not get them either. I can’t see what you don’t see. I’d say you were unconscious a lot, maybe most of the time.”

He nodded, but said nothing. “Melissa and Maria,” he looked right at her. “That was interesting.”

“It was. Not twins.” Jo-anne nodded. “Not even sisters.”

“Definitely not.” Titan agreed with her, she watched him rub a hand over his face, take a drink of the water T.J. handed him and rinse and spit into that bin. “That is not something I will do again in a hurry,” saw him visually shudder “Felt like spiders crawling all over my brain.”

“Unpleasant.” Jo-anne agreed, “Go and rest, or report to your Alpha and Beta. But definitely get some proper sleep tonight.”
