Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 308

~ Knox ~

“Walk it off!” Jaxon growls at me as he pushes on my shoulder, pushing me away from his Father. I can see now why Alpha Hector has earnt his reputation. There’s nothing welcoming and hospitable about him right now. Not as his shoulders stretch out, his feet lift up onto their balls, and his teeth flash out to me.

Facing the Dark Phantom pack alpha takes a lot of courage, or maybe insanity. Why was I even challenging him in the first place, why had I got so worked up…

I reason…

Red!

My own guilt clouds my judgement for returning her home with injuries, injuries that aren’t healing. Why aren’t they healing.

“What the fuck is going on?” Jaxon pushes me again, trying to back me away from his alpha, his father.

My jaw tensed I hold the ruthless alpha’s eyes for a second longer before turning and walking away.

“Nothing!” I bark back at Jaxon, I never..never walked away from a fight.

“Nothing? Why the hell are you traveling alone with my sister and how the fuck has she got hurt.” Jaxon follows me as I move towards the training fields.

I don’t need to look behind to know Alpha Hector’s stance is still aggressive, still watching me..as if debating whether to follow me and teach me a lesson.

Perhaps I’ll teach him one at the same time.

I hear a groan of pain, my body turning and my eyes flickering to Red as the Doctor starts to escort her towards the direction of the hospital. His arms wrapped tightly around her waist.

Red molten anger rises to my throat, a growl rumbling out of me as my eyes are not appreciative of what they are witnessing.

My wolf pushes forward and it takes all my strength to control him, to stop him from taking over and retrieving her. Because that is what he wants, he wants her. He’s tasted her sweet nectar and like the starved crazed animal that he is, he wants more. I dig my feet into the grass, holding my body steady as I fight my wolf.

“Knox?” Jaxon impatiently roars at me, his arms now crossing as he stands there waiting for an answer. Waiting as I battle internally with myself.

“She had word from Jace.” I seethe through gritted teeth as my wolf only just surrenders. Her red hair no longer in view.

“Jace?”

“He was long gone, but she went to pick up her car and asked me to take her.”
