Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 419

~ Josie ~

“What, this isn’t his pack?”

“No, best thing Dad did was hire him. That’s why he doesn’t get involved in the politics here…most of it is powerplay amongst the pack members that also work here. He’s here for the patients.”

“Why am I just hearing about this?” Kit’s voice is low, his eyes watching the door Doctor Abel left through.

“I didn’t realise it was a thing, lots of packs do it…” I shrug out, I forget he hadn’t been in a pack environment for a long time. That things have changed.

“No Josie, they don’t.” His eyes hold mine, his eye contact that of a more stern manner than I expected.

“Well he’s as good a pack member, he just hasn’t made permanent plans yet. But I’m sure he will.” I just assumed Doctor Abel would remain here unless he found his mate and moved to her pack. Or they both moved here permanently.

Dad had put his faith in Doctor Abel, why wouldn’t the rest of us.

“What pack is he from…”

“Kit, please…” I interrupt him, this wasn’t important right now. What was important was getting word to Jaxon and my mind-link was still too hazy.

“…can you go find Jaxon and tell him to hold off telling Mum or Dad for tonight…”

“I’m not going anywhere.” He grunts out defiantly.

“Please Kit.”

“Not a chance.” He grunts again, pulling a chair up and sitting down on it, his legs stretching

out as they rest up on the edge of my hospital bed. It would seem he was staying put.

“If you are sure Josie, I will go tell Jaxon.”

“Thank you Auntie Rosa…and…” My head still feels as if it was piercing into two, the sound of my own voice vibrating like a loud speaker inside of my mind.

If she hadn’t of come to the hospital, things could have been very different indeed.

“You have no idea how glad I am that I came looking for you and Jace, try and get some

rest.” The back of her hand strokes across my cheek, the inflamed skin now starting to cool down…a sad smile forming onto her lips.
