Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 284

I’m also not innocent in this, I am a bitch to George, completely using him for one purpose only. I’ll finish it, but I need to do it on good terms, I can’t have tension between the two packs.

“Complicated how?”

“He’s from my Mum’s pack…”

“You are the daughter of the alphas, no one gets to talk to you like that.”

Yes in any other pack, and yes this is true for my pack but I’ve overlooked George’s behaviour in the past because of a leniency on my part.

“It’s different with me..”

“Different how?” His jaw tenses, his eyes burning into mine from anger.

He doesn’t get it, George knows all about me, even if the entire Clear Waters pack doesn’t, I believe him when he says he does care. That he would still give me a good life.

But is that what I want, a good life…most likely a boring life? Or, do I want to feel the full richness of being with another male? The passion and pain of love, which I think Knox is capable of doing…he has already hurt me, twice.

With a sigh I close my eyes, forcing my spiralling mind to calm down.

“You’ve got to give me something Red…” He pants out as I open my eyes to find him watching me.

“Just…leave it.” I yell, my hands scrunching into tiny balls as I lift them up to by the side of my face. He doesn’t know anything about me, doesn’t know the fight I’ve had to get where I am within the pack, the fight I am having to start all over again now that my brother’s are back.

He was already made, he was in his prime…maybe he is too old for me. Maybe the age gap is too much, that he wouldn’t understand.

Just watching that brunette approach him tonight at the bar, I was more jealous of him talking to her than George threatening to hook up with her. What does that say about me…

“Just leave me alone…” I murmur out, trying to protect myself.
