Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 333

~Knox~

“Where did you go?” Jaxon grunts, looking over his phone as his question pulls my attention away from the front door.

“Uh, just a trash motel. I just needed to reflect before finalising the report.” I respond biting down on my wolf’s need to go after her, he’ll have to wait, even if I grant him that time with her.

I can’t trust him right now, he’s completely thrown me with his need to be around her. I thought I had suppressed him for the past three days but one look at her and I can feel him pushing against my restraint again. Horny bastard.

“Report?” Jacob looks up from his phone, his face taking on a surprised look.

“Yes, I’m leaving Jaxon.”

“Already? Why?”

“I have to get back and prepare for my next intake.” I knew this would hit him hard, he still had concerns about his wolf’s self control. I suppose I act as his safety net and being here he’s been able to relax a bit more.

“But without Jace…” He is cut off as Alpha Kaia walks down the stairs towards the office area.

Her face lights up as soon as she sees me, another person that hasn’t been told what I did then.

“Knox, we missed you. Where have you been?” She walks over to me, placing a kiss upon my cheek in a warm greeting.

“Just as a motel…”

“A motel? Let me guess take out…a man’s dream I’m sure but you need proper food. Go make yourself something to eat for breakfast.”

“Thank you Alpha, I will. But first Alpha Hector has asked me to attend a meeting.”

“Ah, yes okay…see you inside.” She smiles before heading into her shared alpha office.

“Jaxon, Knox…” Alpha Hector calls out to us both just as Alpha Kaia walks in to the office. With one last glance at the front door I turn, heading towards the office, swallowing down the guilt at Alpha Kaia’s warmth towards me. If she knew the truth I think she’d toss me out by my ear.
