Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 356

“Good, so you’ll need to work on trying to make that veil firmer…like an impenetrable door. That only you can grant access to…” Jace continues.

“Okay…I can work on that.”

“Remember you are connected to each other, but the human side is the commander. You command the wolf, not the other way around. Otherwise your wolf will gain too much power and will fight back each time.” His words make me pause for a moment…could wolves do that.

“Okay.” My head was spinning around from Jace’s words. I had to control the wolf side…how the hell do I do that.

“Don’t worry Sis, it will come naturally to you. You have nothing to fear.” Jace’s words of encouragement boost my spirits.

“Thanks.” I nod in appreciation at his reassuring words.

“You’ll feel your wolf push through that barrier each time she wants to communicate with you. And that’s fine, you can communicate with the veil closed as long as she is behind it. If she is too far away from it, then you won’t be able to feel her as much.” Jaxon adds.

“Right…”

“But when you start to open the barrier, that’s when she can shift. So you need to work on letting that barrier down….but keeping it intact enough that you can call her back at any time and make the shift back into human form.”

“Got it..” I start stretching my neck to the side, keen to get started. The more they spoke, the more my confidence about this was declining.

This was it, enough of them talking…I needed to do this now or I don’t think I ever would.

I wave my hands out to stop them from talking, to hush their voices…to let me concentrate.

I close my eyes, taking a deep breath in to calm my inner senses. To only think about me and my wolf…that veil.

Mentally it felt like a doorway with a billowing black curtain draped across it. I needed to work on reinforcing that material and making it stronger.

But for now…I was just psyched to have a wolf. To try shifting for the first time.

I can feel her, feel her just behind the veil. She’s not pushing through, even though she could…she’s waiting, waiting for permission and my heart aches at her kindness, at her patience.
