Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 261

~Josie~

Bullshit, absolute bullshit.

Bang…miss.

Bang…miss again.

Bang, bang, bang.

The bullets were landing on the target but not hitting dead on the bullseye, which is only what I expected of myself. The anger rushing through my veins making my aim off.

Standing alone in the meadow, I let my head roll backwards…trying to calm that rising anger within me. They moved the conversation into a mind-link, completely shutting me out.

I know why they did, they didn’t want Knox to hear what they had to say to each other…about me. But it still hurts nonetheless, still makes me feel left out…even to this day.

They did it because of him…the broody eye holder.

Argh…why is he even here. Why is he getting into my business. Who the hell is he….

First he is there at the breakfast table sitting next to George, then he is invading my personal space at the hospital. The place nobody comes to visit me, my tranquil spot…my peace.

The place where I am not the alpha’s daughter but just Josie, training under a doctor,

Steadying my inner self, using deep breathes to find my centre again, I let my body relax…let that feeling of knowing I could do this, that I’ve got this wash over me.

I had one bullet left…I was in such a hurry to get away from them that I didn’t even bring the holdall. I just took the 9mm gun from the safe in the basement and placed it in the back of my leggings.
