Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 324

“I wasn’t expecting us to go public, I thought you wanted things to be in secret, just like me.”

“I did, I do. Last night when you walked in you found me having just caught Ezra and Auntie Alora kissing. I thought it was a one time thing but they’ve been together for years, in secret. I can’t, I don’t want to be like that, I don’t want to spend years in the dark corners, stealing kisses when others aren’t looking…”

“Red, you’re not making any sense.” His fingers card through his dark luscious locks, his dreamy eyes holding a level of confusion within them.

“I know I said it would be just sex but…I…I want more.”

“More?” His voice can hardly hide his surprise. Maybe I should have given him a heads up rather than throw this on him right now. But why wait.

“You said yourself last night, I was yours.”

“When did I say that?” A small frown forms onto his face.

“Mine…you said, you are mine. Last night when we were together in my room.” My voice is becoming slightly shaky, slightly hesteric.

“I got lost in the moment…lost in my desire..” A powerful tightness sweeps across my chest.

“Desire..”

“Fuck, did you see yourself last night Red. I mean every day you are drop dead gorgeous, but last night you were something else…and when others..”

“Others?” Words and thoughts are not free flowing at the moment, all I can do is repeat his. I can’t believe this, how could I have been so stupid.

“The alphas and betas were eyeing you up. My wolf snapped, he got jealous.”

“Your wolf got jealous, that’s good…it means he also wants me.” I cling onto this new hope, if his wolf wants me then Knox would surely struggle to deny him.

“Of course he wants you, but I can’t give you long term, I can’t give you marriage and babies…I did say this to you at the beginning, you said you were okay with that, that you just wanted sex.”
