Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 269

~ Knox ~

The roar of my motorcycle vibrates through to my bones, immediately relaxing my body and mind. Whipping in-between traffic as I let my bike go full throttle, this is where I feel myself…this is my sanctuary.

Somewhere I don’t need to think, just do.

Turning off the main route, I follow the directions to a local view point, a place that will give me a good view of the nearby lands. Soaring through the winding road, my mind goes to Red. How is it possible that she keeps getting under my skin…more importantly, why do I let her.

I hadn’t planned on following her into her hall in the wall, I was blindsided by my anger at those shits for taking it in turns to get injured, just to spend time with her…what was it…”tap that” one of them said. My legs were already following her before my mind knew what it was doing, then…her scent hit me. Burnt oranges and spice.

She reminded me of the home I grew up in…the woods, that autumnal aroma of golden leaves turning crisp under foot.

Her scent did something to me…let alone the way she pushed her butt out into my groin.

Just one taste…one taste of that soft skin.

Arriving at the look out point, I park my motorcycle and remove the helmet to get a better view. Vast land owned by the Dark Phantom pack spreads across the landscape, with the skyscrapers of the local city just visible in the distance.

Alpha Hector had more land than he let on, he wasn’t a boastful man and I can see why, he was smart. To own this, and his mate owning the land at the Clear Waters pack…I’m starting to understand why he is expecting an attack as soon as he steps down.

I hear laughter to the left of me, my eyes darting to the side to find a couple sitting on a bench looking out. Humans enjoying the view, little did they know what creatures hid behind the trees that they gaze out upon.

My drive back as slower, I didn’t need the urge to release built up tension within me, she was out of my system.
