Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 460

“You’ve done a test I take it?” Doctor Sophia asks me, as I sit in the chair on the other side of her desk. I was rarely in here nowadays, compared to my childhood.

Sophia’s predecessor always on standby to soothe Mum’s worries from a simple cut or graze…the normality of childhood. If I thought I had it bad, then Ares was probably in here every day as the future alpha.

Except for a paint job and some plants in the corner, the layout was the same.

“Positive.” She declares as she places the test down and rips her surgical gloves off.

“I need you to terminate it.” I coldly respond, the sooner the better. I needed this nightmare to be over with.

This dirty secret of mine gone.

“Let’s just discuss things for a moment…”
