Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 370

We greet the warriors outside, the leader nodding to me as I stand next to Jaxon.

“Is Miss Josie okay?” His eyes firmly locked on mine.

“She’s fine, I don’t think he was a real threat.”

“Yes, I think it was just a case of wrong timing. The bouncers on the door said he entered with a group of females when we questioned why he was allowed to enter in the first place. Whether they covered his scent or the bouncer’s eyes were elsewhere.” I think the eyes would have been the issue, but perhaps this Than is more of a threat if he entered the premises in an underhanded way.

“I’ll have a word with Alpha Jude. Where is he now?” Hector was standing to his full height as he gathers the information from his warriors. For the alpha family, things had gone from zero to a hundred miles per hour in the space of only a few seconds.

Whereas it was Josie that was the one in the firing line..yet again. Sure, she was never in any real threat, this male just wanted to stick his nose where it wasn’t wanted…but it could have been so much worse.

“We drove him back to the Amber Desert pack, his warriors intercepted us. They were quite surprised to find their alpha within our car.” The warrior reports, earning a chuckle from Hector.

We all turn to find the sound of people talking across the path that leads to the alpha home. When Beta Alora and Ezra enter a clearing, Hector’s voice reduces to an almost mute command.

“Not a word to anyone, especially not to your Luna’s sister, understood?”

“Yes Alpha.” The warriors tilt their necks in submission before they scatter away towards the pack house, passing both Alora and Ezra on the way.

“A warrior’s report, everything okay?” Ezra’s eyes narrow as the two of them come to a halt in front of us. Beta Riley was on border patrol and will give his end of day report shortly, however, Ezra being a past beta himself picks up on the unusual situation of a warrior’s direct report to the Alpha. Usually the warriors report to the beta.

“Yes of course, Alora perhaps I can borrow Ezra for a short while.”
