Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 287

As we exit the vehicle, I move in...demanding to know what has happened.

“What has happened, where has Jace gone?”

“We don’t know sweetheart, that’s what we are trying to find out.” Mum responds to me, her arms crossed as she looks at Jaxon expectantly.

“I told you; I don’t know what is going on…he has told me shit.” Jaxon growls out, his temper getting the better of him.

“Watch your tongue when speaking to your mother.” Dad growls in warning, taking a step forward towards Jaxon, his aura tightening the night air around us. Making it that little bit more difficult to breathe effortlessly.

“We’ve got to go after him, Jaxon get your car keys.”

“He made it very clear he didn’t want anyone to follow him.” Jaxon’s eyes look past me as Maya and Cleo exit the car.

“Jaxon, I mean come on.” I look at him expecting him to move. When his feet remain where he stands, I turn to Knox.

“We can take your bike; we can’t just let him leave.”

“No Josie, just leave it…he made his decision clear…he’ll be back when he is ready.”

“Can’t you feel it, through the sibling bond. Something is seriously wrong. I’ve got to go after him.”

“I said leave it.” Jaxon roars at me, his anger completely misdirected, his aura rushing out on to me.

Like Dad, Jaxon is a powerful alpha, for the most part keeping his real strength hidden. But in this very moment I get a snippet into how potentially strong he truly is.
