Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 378

War broke out with the Shadow Rock pack, many of the elders you see here today have lost loved ones in the fight. Holding memories that are their nightmares in the night.”

I knew none of this, none of this has been brought to my attention. Which means it has been covered up to great efforts.

“What happened to Kaia’s father?”

“Alpha Beckett? He died in surgery…” Ezra takes a deep breath before continuing.

“He had donated an organ to Alora who was on borrowed time. Then Kaia gained amnesia and the pack was in turmoil. They had an alpha, but an alpha that couldn’t remember them and couldn’t accept the pack.

But she put her demons aside and became the alpha they needed, and together we brought down the Shadow Rock’s tyrant alpha. Those that were still alive we relocated them here, to start again.”

“So who attacked the pack here, who became the new alpha?” For this Beckett to leave it must have been someone powerful.

“There was no new alpha, the attack had been faked…”

“Faked?”

“It had been Beckett all along. He had killed his pack members.”

“Killed his pack members? Why?”

“They had started to rise against him, Kaia was coming off age and she was the true alpha…the

White Wolf was the alpha, not her father.

He should have given her control, but refused. The pack and title is passed on from the mother…not the father. So he killed them, killed them all to keep

his secret.”

“What secret?” This is more information than I had expected from Ezra and I can see why it has been kept from Josie. It is horrifying to hear.

“That Kaia and Alora’s mother hadn’t died in childbirth, that he had announced the second born dead at birth but secretly put her up for adoption. Then when their mother claimed she could feel the baby still alive, feel the bond, he killed her, killed the White Wolf. A crime against the Moon Goddess.

He murdered his own mate.”

“He slaid his entire pack and mate because of a fairy tale?” I’m now standing in front of Ezra, my disbelief clear upon my expression of how insane all of this is. That so much death had occurred because of a fairy tale.

“It’s not a fairy tale, Kaia is the White Wolf..”
