Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 431

~ Knox ~

Following Kaia and Jaxon into the cells, you wouldn’t think anything had happened on the

outside of these concrete walls.

Jaxon takes a moment to put the mind’s of the cell guards at ease.

Their orders had clearly been to remain within these walls at all costs, to lock down the prison building, no matter what happened outside.

Even though their family and friends had been fighting on the other side of these walls.

It was clear to see how much they respected Jaxon, respected and feared him…he would perhaps be more notorious than his own father when alpha of the Dark Phantom pack.

Surprisingly Luna Rosa insisted on joining us….Jaxon needing to mind-link Alora to return and

watch Josie, Cleo and Ares.

Nothing would happen, they were safe, but whatever was being discussed in the alpha office…not even Kaia wanted to interrupt.

She also didn’t seem keen to inform Hector yet of what had happened.

George would be dead within seconds once Hector found out. Which I think is what Kaia knew would happen.

I watch with intrigue as she picks up the metal chain off the floor outside the inner cell block door…the guards watching her nervously.

I had no doubt that she would make his death slow. But this was for me to do. I had failed to protect her but not again.

I would take his life from him for daring to touch what was mine.

We move into a dark room, a typical interrogation room but without a desk in the middle, instead

a thick wooden chair bolted to the ground; arm and leg cuffs build into its design.

However, the back rest removed.

A small spot light shines brightly above the chair, only offering light to the centre of the room.

The rest clouded in darkness.

The four of us spread out and remaining against the concrete walls, in the dark.
