Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 406

~ Josie ~

“You’re an abomination! We won’t stop until we’ve wiped each one of you off the face of this planet!” This bastard hunter seethes out trying to fight against his restraints.

His eyes solely focused on Mum, something that doesn’t sit well with me. Or Jaxon for that matter.

He moves, taking a threatening step closer to the human hunter, his aura rolling off him and turning the room even more oppressive.

I was the only non alpha in this room, except for the human, the atmosphere was already too close. I hadn’t broached the subject with Knox yet, but there was no doubt in my mind now that he had alpha blood in his system.

That he had a story to tell me, something that I would need to know before I mark him. I want to know each and every part of him, the good, the bad…and the incomprehensible.

When he was ready to tell me, I would be all ears.

“Careful, you don’t want to see a bad side to me.” Jaxon warns, a smirk tugging in the corner of his mouth. He wanted to release his bad side, he might even wait for the trial to finish. I can feel the anger bubbling up within him, feel it through the triplet bond.

Something that was also happening the other male next to me, Jace was shifting in his seat, trying to control his wolf.

There’s nothing more disrespectful to an alpha male than someone going for their mother. If his fated hadn’t already have been decided, then he had just signed his own death warrant.

“Why did you come here?” Mum demands, her eyes continuing to glow that haunting ethereal blue.

“I was following orders.”

“What orders? What do human hunters know about us?” Dad demands, his hands lacing tightly around Mum’s waist. I wasn’t even marked to Knox yet, but the thought of someone threatening him, wanting to harm him makes me nauseous. I can only imagine what Dad is feeling right now.

“More than you think, what do they say if you can’t beat them…join them!” He was smug that someone that was about to die.

“What the fuck does that mean?”

“Jaxon!” Dad roars out in warning as Jaxon’s hand grips tightly around the hunter’s throat, cutting off his air supply.

“It isn’t just hunters that want to destroy this pack, they will come…they will come when they are ready.” The hunter manages to spit out as Jaxon lets go of his throat, his hoarse voice clearly affected by the pressure applied to his vocal cords.

“Who will come?”

“The White Moon pack…”

“The White Moon pack? Never heard of them.”

“Oh but you will. Too long you’ve been keeping the moon blessed wolf underwraps, too long you’ve kept her abilities a secret. It’s time to pay the piper.”
