Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 133

Chapter 0133 

At first I feel more clarity, less guilt towards Alora for caring for Kaia…for betraying my mate bond with Alora…who had given up on me for Than. 

This wasn’t as easy as taking the second sister, Kaia wouldn’t be second best, I just knew Alora first. But Kala wouldn’t see it as that. 

And I’m starting to strongly believe as I watch her long brown hair flow in the breeze, that had I of met Kaia first, my connection to her would have been stronger, that I wouldn’t have been this torn. 

Because I felt torn, what I do to the one, I hurt the other. I’m starting to realise how Alora felt as a 16 year old alone and afraid of her next step. What a harrowing experience she went through, 

I was a full grown adult with a pack behind me, yet my own resolve threatens to falter. 

I was mates with Kala…. 

My wolf finally understands as do I. In not having rejected Algra, my bond with her remained stagmant, stuck, for all those years. With her still alive, the bond festering beneath the surface…never dying, never coming fully to life. 

I was blinded in my revenge for Than that I didn’t let my mind even open up to the possibility that Alora’s mirror image might be something more to me. My own chance at happiness. 

Someone who I have done wrong by. 

I groan internally as I remember the night when she wanted me to stay, not to leave her to stop Alora’s marking ceremony. The hurt upon her face, having already lost her own child and I left her, I left her too selfish in my own actions. 

I will never be good enough for Kaia, I will never be able to take those things back, my bad choices. She will never forgive me…too much as happened. But I need to keep her safe, as I swore to do. 

I don’t approach her, instead I walk back to the alpha house, entering Beckett’s office without waiting. 

He isn’t surprised by my bursting into his office, in fact he is relaxed, two empty glasses sitting by a bottle of whiskey…I think he had been waiting for me. 

He pours us both a drink and I down mine in one go, placing the empty glass back on his desk. 

“I’ll go to Alpha Marc, I’ll negotiate for your pack…but Kaia stays out of this. He is not to have her….. agreed.” My resolve is absolute. She is not a bargaining tool, she is off limits. 

“Agreed. Hector…” 

“She’s my mate…” I cut him off, he needs to know I won’t fuck this up. 

“Who?” 

“Kala… 

“Ah..” He slowly sips on his own drink, not surprised by my revelation. “You don’t seem surprised..”

“They are both mates with your brother, I presume the same for you. Plus I’m not blind…my daughter has gone out of her way to avoid you. Which means she is hurting. Was it her that told you?” 

“No Alora did.”
