Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 385

“She did a great job, right Doc?” He playfully asks, trying to diffuse my rising paranoia. Taking the attention off me and onto him.

“Hmmm…” She shines a small torch into Kieran’s eyes, assessing him for brain injury. She then places a stethoscope to his heart before placing it back around her shoulders seemingly satisfied.

She turns to Knox and me, that stern look remaining until it breaks out into a smile and I can feel the tension melt away within me.

“You should…you clearly have a gift. We will check for a head wound, thank you Josie, I can take it from here.”

“And Petra?” I turn to see Petra still breathing through the mask, watching me intently. Shit…she would have seen what had happened from there.

“I will of course make sure she receives the care she needs.”

A hand snakes around my lower back and lands on my hip, gripping me into him.

I’m speechless…unable to comphrehend what just happened. My eyes peering down at the palm of my hands.

I let a finger touch one of them, the one that emitted a red glow to see if it was still hot, whether it had a trace of any heat left about it.

But nothing…just normal clammy hands.

My eyes don’t leave Petra’s, or hers mine until I am out of view.

Knox marches me back to the Alpha house in complete silence, his gripping hand not wavering from my side once.

As we enter the alpha house he ignores Auntie Alora and Ezra, as they both call out to me with questions of the hospital.

He says nothing and I’m trying to keep my feet moving at the same speed as his, until we are in our room, and he has closed the door behind

him.

He starts pacing the carpeted floor as I slowly move backwards towards the bed and lower myself down onto it

“What was that?” He finally stops, his heated gaze locked on me.

“What?” I play dumb, hoping that I had been hallucinating. That he and in fact Petra, hadn’t seen anything. That it was all in my head.

“The red light that glowed from your fucking hand Josie?”

“I…I don’t know.”

“Has that ever happened before?”
