Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 264

“Only in passing..” I shrug, acting like it makes no difference to me what she gets up to. Why should it…

……

Training had been pushed back this morning to make room for a heads of department meeting, again something I had been asked to sit in on.

It had been drilled into me a long time ago to wake up early and train, so without the training I head to the kitchen to make coffee only to find a black-haired female that I didn’t recognise searching through the cupboards.

“What are you searching for?” I watch her trying to reach to the highest of shelves. She was a short thing, even on tiptoes. She turns to look at me, her eyebrows frowning as she then clasps at her forehead in pain.

“Painkillers.”

“Heavy night?” I scoff out resting my back against the kitchen island.

“You could say that, who are you?” She eyes be with suspicion.

“Knox, I’m visiting for a short while.”

“Oh hey, I’m Maya.” A smirk enters onto my lips as I turn away towards the coffee machine, so this is the one that Red’s ex doesn’t like.

“You the first up, where’s princess?” My tone is sarcastic, sudden images of other males being with Red last night pop into my mind. Something my wolf also doesn’t like the idea of.

I don’t know why, I wasn’t here to be her bloody body guard, I was here to assess the pack’s safety measures.

Not what the alpha’s grown up children get up to.

“Who?” She spins around to face me as I reach up into a cupboard for a coffee mug.

“Josie.” I grunt out, saying her name was just as hard as I thought it was going to be. Even her father last night calling her Josephina didn’t help, it just reminded me even more of what a red headed goddess she was in my dreams.
