Page 418 of His Hungry Wolf
“You’re right. I’m sorry,” I told him seeing how everything going wrong between us was my fault.
“No. You know what? I’m sorry,” he said putting his hand on my thigh. “You’re right. I should have texted you. And I should have given you a heads up that I was planning on stopping by. It was stupid of me to just show up like that. Do you forgive me?”
I stared at Sey realizing that he was actually a good guy. I didn’t know what I was thinking before. He really did love me.
“I forgive you,” I told him forcing a smile.
“We both made mistakes. But, we’ll do better, right?” he said joyfully.
“Right,” I told him knowing it was what he wanted to hear.
Sey smiled and then leaned across the car for a kiss. I gave him one. It immediately made me think of Titus. How was I going to explain any of this to him?
It turned out that I wouldn’t have to explain things to Titus. Because, like after Sey had asked me to marry him, Titus disappeared. But unlike the last time, it wasn’t just for a day. Three weeks went by without hearing from him.
“Have you heard from Titus?” I asked Quin when I couldn’t take the silence any longer.
“Yeah. Why do you ask?”
“I haven’t heard from him.”
“Oh,” Quin said surprised.
“He hasn’t mentioned me?”
“No. But maybe it’s because he has a lot going on. He hasn’t even had time to join Cage and me for our usual Sunday wolf runs.”
“What does he have going on?”
“He’s back on the football team,” Quin said surprised I didn’t know.
“He’s what?”
“Yeah. He decided that he wanted back on, and he made it happen. I think he’s a starter. Didn’t Sey tell you? You said they met at your grandmother’s estate, right?”
“Sey knows who he is. I guess he just forgot to mention it. Or he assumed I already knew?”
“That makes sense,” Quin concluded.
“What else has Titus been doing?”
“He started a new business.”
“What?” I asked not expecting to hear anything like that.
“Yeah. It’s with someone he went to high school with. It’s a tour guide company. But they’re still in the setting-everything-up phase.”
“Wow! Anything else?”
“There’s some local politics stuff he’s also doing. But that’s more of a side thing than anything else. He wants to get the town officially put on maps.”
“Didn’t he tell me there’s an invisible barrier around the town, or something.”
“A protective barrier. It hides the scent of everything living within it.”
“Then how would that work with getting the town put on maps?”
“Technically it’s unrelated. But he’s been trying to get the spell taken down as well. He wants the town to fully embrace the outside world and everything that comes with it.”
