Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 244

Kaia POV

Yes I had been the Luna of the Dark Phantom pack since Hector had marked me, but being able to now feel the buzz of the pack bond running through my veins, warming my chest…is more than I thought it would ever be.

From the day I arrived, a pregnant runaway, they accepted me as one of theirs.

Then when I returned, marked yet with no memory of my life before the amnesia, they once again showed me nothing but support and kindness.

I don’t care what Hector says about the Amber Desert pack, this was without a doubt the pack he was destined to create and lead.

Speaking of which, as soon as I felt the guard pushing on my mind-link to announce visitors at the gates…I had a strange feeling I would be due a visit from Than’s parents.

Medea couldn’t help but meddle and it wouldn’t be long before she gave her two cents on what I had done.

So when Hector’s block was up, and the guard reports to his Luna instead…me. I granted permission, I wanted to give her a dressing down just as much as she felt I was over due one.

She exits the car, her nose already up in the air…already finding fault with something within this pack. But she forgets I have lived inside of hers, I know all of their faults…and this pack doesn’t have any.

She is just bitter and twisted…never having wanted Hector to succeed. Still expecting him to be that 8 year old boy that had no choice but to move in after his mother died.

As if she was doing him a favour, when she was the one that ruined a happy family.

“Is that who I think it is?” Aubrey is peaking out of the sitting room curtains next to me, just as intrigued.

“Oh yes.” I moan out as I take in Medea’s appearance…a white pant suit with high heels.

“You need to tell the Alpha they are here.” Aubrey says through gritted teeth, worried about what might go down.

“Huh, please…I can handle Than’s disgruntled parents.”

“Luna..” Aubrey groans at me as I move into the hallway to open the front door. But I don’t give her warning a second thought, I was going to enjoy this.

“Alpha Damon, Luna Medea…this is a surprise..”

“Is it?” I forgot how grating her voice was on my ears.

“Where is he?” She barks out, looking past me towards Hector’s and mine’s office.

“Alpha Hector? He is otherwise engaged at the moment, I’m sure if he knew you were visiting us….Is there something I can help with?”

“We can wait.” Alpha Damon nods, as he follows his mate through the front door.

“Certainly, do sit down…” I’m over exaggerating my politeness, to the point of sarcasm. Damon has picked up on it, he always did. Medea just seems oblivious to my change in tone.

“Are you sure there isn’t something I can help with…” My eyes dart to Aubrey standing by the curtains, she refuses to leave me. They both sit on the couch, Medea looking as if it pains her to sit in another alpha’s house. I sit on the opposite couch, my body sitting forward…I’m not prepared to be sitting comfortably.

“No, this is a family matter…”

“Well, I’d like to see if I can help…as Hector’s mate and Luna…”

“Pardon?”

“We completed the bond only last night…” I smile out.

Her lips purse before she makes a strange expression, as if she is sucking on lemons. Before anger emerges in her demeanour.

“Let me get this straight…you deny my son of his Luna, yet take her other mate as her own.”

I just knew she couldn’t wait to try and jab that knife in.

“According to you, Than was only her mate…in fact from what I’ve been told you kicked Hector out of the hospital room when Alora was in the coma.” I state out, my tone remaining super sweet.

“I bet you are loving this aren’t you, seeing my boy in pain.” I hold back on the need to roll my eyes.

“He accepted her rejection Medea, he wasn’t willing to fight for her, fight to the death…”

“Why you..” She is up in a flash, her nails scratching along the length of my arm as she tries to yank me towards her.
