Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 426

~ Josie ~

It was working, we are making a dent into their numbers.

I can’t look in fear of losing concentration but I can sense Kit is near me, that he has joined the fight alongside Jaxon. I fight harder, wanting to get to him…to touch him, feel how wounded he is.

“Keep going Josie…” Mum’s voice rings out in my head as we stand back to back within the protective bubble Dad and my uncle’s had created.

For each injury on our side that I heal, Mum takes energy from the enemy. I could feel my energy depleting, feel the warm glow struggling to keep its full strength.

I had to keep going, just a little while longer and it will be finished.

“Josie…” I can hear him calling for me, telling me to rein it in…but as long as pack members are being injured, then I’ll keep healing them. We had already lost too many this night.

I don’t know how I am doing it, whether it’s because I am by Mum’s side, her own energy mixing with mine somehow…but I am able to heal without touching the wounded.

I can’t explain it, I don’t understand it myself…but I trust this source of goodness leading out of me.

“How are you ladies holding up?” Dad grunts through the multiway mind-link open to Mum, Jaxon and myself.

“Fine…” Mum responds, not even I believe her.

“Try harder to reassure me!” Dad growls out as he throws a male fighter onto the ground.

“Who’s that?” Jaxon asks out, not sounding as if he is putting any effort in. But he is, we all are.

“Who’s what?”

“The man…just watching.”

“That’s the Alpha of the White Moon pack, and this his army.” Dad rumbles out as he blocks us again.

“He’s the one after Mum and Josie?”

“Yes…No Jaxon, wait.”
