it."
"I am going to
talk to her tomorrow. Maybe she hasn't realized you are in his
life."
I scoffed, "Don't
be so naive, Titus. If she knows what he looks like, that probably
means she has seen me with him. She knows and she doesn't
care."
"She's not like
that," he said, brushing me off.
"Oh, really? And
you're still an expert on her personality?" I asked.
"Stop it," he
said in that authoritative tone that had the wolf in me cowering
but my human side was furious.
I shot up and
started storming upstairs before I turned back to him.
"Don't ever use
that tone on me again," I warned.
"Don't accuse me
of having feelings for her," he shot back.
"I didn't accuse
you of anything! You are defending her!"
"I'm not
defending her! I'm trying to make you think straight but god forbid
you do that when it's necessary!"
That certainly
caught me off guard. We never fought so this was all new to me and
I hated it. I didn't want to be mad at him and I knew I was being
irrational but I wasn't backing down at this point.
"All I ever do is
think straight just like I am now! You would be furious if I met
privately with my ex fiancé!"
"That's
different," he said.
"No it's not. Put
yourself in my position for once, Titus! You were going to marry
her and you had a son with her. What do you think it looks like
when you want to meet up with her?"
"It looks like
I'm being a Beta and a father. You're being ridiculous,
Elizabeth."
"Momma?"
Christian asked from the top of the stairs.
My eyes shot to
his confused expression. He had never heard us fight because we
never did so this was probably scaring him. I instantly felt bad
but not in regards to Titus.
"Come on,
Christian. I'll tuck you in," I said as I met him at the
landing.
I left the fight
but I knew it wasn't over. Nothing was resolved and I hated to go
to bed mad especially after the night we just had but I wasn't
going to apologize. I had no reason to.
*******
I laid in bed
unable to sleep because Titus wasn't in bed with me. I never slept
well without him but now that he was mad at me, it was even worse.
Guilt gnawed at me until at least four in the morning. I shouldn't
have flipped out on him; I knew I was being stupid and immature
about this. I knew this day would come and I had tried to prepare
myself but nothing could prepare me for how territorial I would be.
There was no reason for me to act in such a jealous manor. I should
support him through this frustrating time and I was turning my
back; I was being selfish and childish and that wasn't
me.
I threw the
comforter off and slipped into my floor length robe. I didn't hear
Titus leave so he was either asleep or watching TV.
As I came down
the stairs, I saw Titus sitting up on the couch with his head
tilted back, clearly asleep. I crossed the hardwood as quietly as
possible and kneeled in front of him, placing my hands on his
knees. He instantly woke up and rubbed his face before his
attention settled on me with a light frown.
"What," he asked
through his sleep coated voice.
"I'm sorry," I
whispered.
He simply
examined me for a moment so I purposely made my eyes just a little
bigger so they would water just slightly. He sighed in
frustration.
"Dammit, Lizzy.
Stop that," he said. I knew I had won him over in that
moment.
"Can you forgive
me?"
He shook his head
absently and leaned forward to kiss the top of my head.
"Yes," he
grumbled.
"Come to bed," I
prompted as I stood and pulled his hand.
He needed little
incentive to sleep in a bed. He was clearly uncomfortable on the
couch or at least I hoped he was uncomfortable. I didn't want him
to feel comfortable on the couch when I was upstairs, unable to
sleep.
"I'm sorry I
commanded you," he said as he wrapped his arm around my
shoulders.
I rested my hand
on his chest as we entered our room and kissed his neck
quickly.
"I
know."
We laid in bed,
his arm wrapped around my waist. I finally felt sleep creep up on
me, thankfully. I couldn't function for an entire day
