Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 275

~ Knox ~

I’ve been keeping my lead low for the last couple of days, staying out of the alpha house as much as possible.

Yes I was avoiding Red. It was better for the both of us if I stayed well clear of her, and the house that she lives in.

She was too young for me…I had ten years on her. Ten years of sweat, of bleeding my own blood…yes, she was too young.

Judging by the warm hospitality still shown to me from the alpha family, she hasn’t said anything to them. I stepped over the line, but in that moment I couldn’t help myself.

She seems to have some sort of ability to suck me into her…a magnetic pull that threatens to pull me under. As soon as I walked into that cabin, there was a hazy mist of her scent and sweat, which only made her intoxicating scent more potent.

Too intoxicating.

If she were anybody else, I would have given into my desires, without a care…to hell with the consequences, I’ve not denied myself before. But something seemed different about her.

I still couldn’t understand why she wasn’t on the pack run. Why she wouldn’t be with her family as a simple of leadership in front of the pack, and more importantly…why did they let her. I couldn’t shake that feeling of being kept in the dark about her. There was something, and I’d find out what it is.

“Why wasn’t your Sister at the pack run the other day?” I ask both Jaxon and Jace as we come to the end of a long day shift on border watch.
