Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 348

“I knew the daughter of the White Wolf was in hiding…no Josie you didn’t die…you’ve been awoken.” Doctor Abel comments from the back, as he takes a step towards me…a big grin forming upon his face.

“We must share the news.” He says as he continues to smile at me.

“They already know…” I smile back as pack member’s voices enter my mind, just as I can feel the warmth of the pack link settle upon my chest. Excitement radiates through me as I realise I can feel them, I can feel them for the first time in my life. I want to get up, I want to dance, to cartwheel down the hospital corridor.

I hadn’t been forgotten after all.

….

I wasn’t tired, how can I be.

I felt more alive for the first time in my life than I had ever been. My wolf was like this buzz flowing through my body, an electrical current that never ended.

It was warm, it was empowering…I loved it.

The sensation of having her was new, and I could feel she was weak…needing to build up her strength in both wolf form and within my skin form. Yet, I could already feel the power she possessed…is this how all werewolves feel…

“Just take your time.” Knox growls as he helps me climb out of bed. He was the only one with me right now.

Dad had surprisingly ordered everybody out except for Knox…his exact words were…“they need time to talk. Alone.” He empathised the alone part as Jaxon growled in disapproval.

I was desperate to shower, to wash my greasy and lifeless hair, to smell of anything but hospital.

“I only want a shower…”

“Yes and only a few hours ago your life support was turned off.”

“A shower…a shower won’t hurt me Knox…you can join me if you like.”

On everybody parting, a tray of food and water was brought in and Knox sat with me until I had at least ate a few mouthfuls of food. I wasn’t hungry though, I just wanted to get home…wanted to check on Lobo.
