Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 389

~ Knox ~

“Immobilise, as in…” I press further. Ezra indicated there was something that Kaia and Hector were hiding, but this…it seems a little far fetched.

But then I’ve just witnessed my own mate heal a child with her own hands. With a red glow emit from her hands…therefore at the moment I’m willing to be a little open minded.

“It’s exactly how it sounds.” Hector responds his eyes rolling into the back of his head as he seems to be struggling more with Kaia’s admission more than she is.

“You’re cursed too?” The execution in her words tugs at my heart, the sadness in Josie’s voice isn’t hard to miss and I was so determined to get her home that I didn’t stop and ask how she was coping. Whether it caused her pain, whether it took energy from her to complete.

Suddenly the very thought of that has me even more on edge.

Josie was a natural healer, which completely makes sense now. How she has a natural flare for remedies using plants and herbs, how she has the patience like a saint.

But what if a concoction can’t heal an injury, a disease…what if it needs to come from her directly. It terrifies me because she is the most selfless person I have ever met…she would stop at nothing to heal somebody if it was in her power to do so.

“Cursed, absolutely not…” Kaia reaches for Josie’s hands, where she pulls them into her chest and holds them there.

“My darling, this is a blessing, you are blessed, not cursed.”

“I don’t understand, why didn’t you say anything?” Josie melts into her Mum’s touch.

“We already knew raising three children under such a limelight would be a challenge to your anonymity….we didn’t want to put you three in danger. It is already rare to be the children of two alphas, let alone have special gifts. We have done the best we can to hide things from the past and prepare for the future.”

Meaning they have rewritten history. I’m not going to inform Josie of the past, not when it still has the ability to bring chaos to her future.
