Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 334

“Not yet, I’ve sent trackers out and the warriors have been pushed out a few miles out past our

borders. What do you think?” Alpha Hector pauses the footage, placing the lights back on.

“What enemies do you have?” I’m fully aware I’m my question is blatant but they have no time to waste.

“None!” Jaxon responds too quickly, my eyes darting to him.

“Sure there are packs that might be jealous of our size but none that would attack us, what would be the reason.”

He was right, what would be the reason. Jaxon and Jace always told me with great pride how their borders have never been attacked. How boring it sometimes was living in a pack where nothing

happens. But I know from experience that things aren’t always as they seem.

I turn to Alpha Hector who is holding his mate’s eyes, both locked in a one to one mind-link.

When they cut their mind-link, I raise an eyebrow at Alpha Hector, he was hiding something. They both were.

“You can’t be mated to the white wolf without gaining enemies Knox. But these enemies have

remained hidden for 19 years.” Hector sighs out, and for the first time since meeting him I’m seeing his true age behind his powerful frame. The weight on his shoulders that he’s been carrying for goddess knows how many years.

“Then I would say these enemies have finally come up for air and you need to be ready.”

“Enemies, what kind of enemies?” Jaxon demands, his arms folding at his chests as he takes

step closer to his father. A father that has protected him and his siblings all their lives.

“People from our past. A past we wanted to keep from you kids…”

“I have a brother out in the middle of nowhere who isn’t checking in…why the fuck didn’t you tell us there was a direct threat on us.” Jaxon’s fury is rightfully justified, but he needs to understand the love of a parent. Something I only learned in my adult years after looking back on my past.

“Because it isn’t you they are after.” Alpha Kaia growls her eyes turning a brilliant shade of blue. The blue rim that circles her pupil, bleeds out completely covering her usually green eyes. Her wolf was forward, on guard…and her aura was magnificent.

“You need to get a hold of your brother and get him back here right now.” She commands, standing as she directs her aura at her son.

“I can’t he wont listen to me.”
