Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 235

Kaia POV

I fight that call to give in, to rest…I can’t.

Fear of not waking up is what is keeping my eyes open.

I watch as Marc starts to crawl back towards the White Moon alpha, the coward who doesn’t join his fighters, only commands them to their deaths. I have no respect for such a leader.

A few of my warriors move to Marc but I want him alive, he will provide valuable information and I will extract it from him.

“I want him alive.” I order out from the mind-link as my warriors box him in. Hector’s wolf preventing Marc from gertting any further as he bites down on his foot and drags him towards my warriors.

Their numbers were dwindling thanks to the aid of the Amber Desert warriors, their arrival has given us the leverage we needed to potentially claim back this fight…but then I see the fighers still with the alpha of the White Moon pack, the ones that haven’t been released on to us yet.

What are they waiting for, what was he waiting for.

My eyes lock with him, my jaw tensing as I challenge him to come and face me. Challenge him to end this fight once for all.

The corner of his lips curl up into a smirk as his hand raises up, and for a moment I think he is accepting my challenge…until a new set of fighters sent our way.

My wolf takes control, this was him answering my challenge in his own way. My wolf not liking his response.

I shift once again, my white fur now covered in blood, as my body body fights against the call to shift…I bite down on my tongue to suppress the pain that shoots into my hind leg with my shift.

I scan the field, Hector was assisting a group of my warriors in keeping Marc under our control. Ezra was trying to get to Alora, as was Than.

It was a new surge of a tsunami running towards us, it won’t take them long to kill us…we’ve been fighting for too long whereas they were untouched.

Fear for my pack hits me before I refuse to believe that this was it. We can still win this.

My wolf, keeping her eye on the cowardly alpha, pushes me back as she uses what little energy we have left. I can sense what she is trying to do, she is trying to locate the energy source not just for one person, but for the entire army of enemies on this field.

She’s pushed me back too far away to take control back from her, she can’t attack them all at once…it is too many. We’ve only ever used it on one person at a time.
