Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 373

“Oh…one step at a time.” He chuckles as his back returns back to full height, his eyes rolling into the back of his head playfully.

…..

“Wow look at that view.” Knox whistles out, his eyes peering down to the clear ocean waters below.

“Best in town.” I sigh out, my lungs breathing in that unfiltered sea air. It really was a beautiful sight. Now knowing Knox is my mate…I can understand the love Mum has for Dad, especially to be able to leave this place.

I had given Knox a quick tour of the pack grounds, being mindful not to accidentally bump into a certain person.

I know Knox, he’ll want more, he’ll want to see the borders…watch the patrol at switch over. A more in-depth view of the set up here but I’m mindful of their last interaction in the nightclub, in fact that was the last time I saw George for myself.

I just know..there’s going to be drama and I want to delay that for as long as possible.

“These small lagoons…and that waterfall.” I’m staring out into the distance of the horizon that I don’t feel Knox leave my side.

When I snap back into the present, I turn to find him gone but his clothes a heap on the ground beside me.

He picked a good time to skinny dip, we were alone.

I move to the largest of the small pools, the one with the waterfall feature…his naked muscular body swimming under the surface. The water may hide his features but I can still see his toned and tanned frame.

Goddess have mercy.

Stepping towards the edge, I watch him swim towards the waterfall where he stands under the cascading water…his muscles on full display.

I can feel my wolf pushing forward, wanting to catch a glimpse herself and I don’t stop her. Everyone keeps saying I need to learn to rein her in but she’s never once pushed against me, she’s never once tried to overpower me.

“Ahhh.” I scream as I am yanked by my ankle, a swoosh reaching my ears as I hit the water surface and am dragged under by some strong powerful hands.

“You dick!” I push at his chest as I come back up and wipe the water away from my eyes.
