Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 358

“Wait until your first pack run…” Jace comments.

“Are you staying around for that? Are you back now?”

“I haven’t thought that far ahead.” His voice responds too quickly which to me means he has, he just doesn’t want to say. He doesn’t want to dampen this moment with Jaxon and I.

“Don’t let Auntie Alora or Ezra hear you say that, I think their retirement might start with a mating ceremony.” I quip through the mind-link.

“Excuse me?”

“Oh my goddess…you haven’t heard.”

“Heard what?” His wolf turns to mine, undivided attention.

“I caught Auntie Alora and Ezra kissing in the front room during the annual alliance packs party.”

“What?”

“Yep, apparently been at it for years.”

“No way…”

“Yes so this little wobble of yours better end soon, because Clear Waters will be ready for you to take over soon. Training has officially ended.” Jaxon states clearly, his expectations made clear.

Jaxon’s and Jace’s wolves start playfully nip at eachother before both start moving back towards their clothes on the ground.

I needed to say something, about Knox, and they were both in such a good mood. Now would be the best moment….right.

“Talking of training…” My wolf finally stands back up, breaking out into a gentle run to catch up with them both.

“Can you lay off Knox, the thing with him and me isn’t one sided. If anything I’m the one that coerced him into our arrangement.”

“Arrangement?”

“What do you want me to say? Friends with benefits, hooking up…sex…” I laugh out through the mind-link only for that feeling of playfulness between us ending.

“Enough.” Jaxon grunts, that flip again between hot and cold. I can’t keep up with him any more.
