Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 466

“Yes, well he is the future alpha of this pack. Each time he takes away responsibility from Dad, his muscles expand. Once he is full on alpha, he’ll be like a brick house.”

“I don’t think he likes me.” She sighs out, moving to the mirror above the sink where she checks her slightly smudged mascara from sleeping.

“What do you mean?” I run the towel through my hair, towel drying it with speed.

“He’s very intense…he keeps watching me.” She wisely whispers out.

“That’s just Jaxon, he’s always been like that. Pay it no mind.”

“You are sure?”

“Yes, I said I would protect you…and I will.” I move past her, placing a reassuring kiss upon her cheek.

Once we are both ready we head downstairs, her hand in mine as we enter into the living room.

I wanted to give her a tour of the pack, but I knew there was something my family was holding back on, something I wanted to know.

It was middle of the afternoon and having slept a little too long I knew I would jump onto the night watch, giving my wolf the chance to shift….something that had been difficult to do in the human beach resort.

“I’ve left word for your parents Callie, they weren’t able to take my call at the time. But I’ve asked

them to call me back.” Mum updates Callie as we both take a seat on one of the sofas.

“Okay…thank you Luna…I really appreciate it.”

“Please, it’s Kaia. We don’t have titles in this household.

I feel as if we should share the news somewhat with our pack and friends. They will be over the

moon to hear that not only have you returned, but that you have found your Luna Jace.”

Cleo should be here soon, once she sees Callie for herself, she will share the news with her parents. So what does it matter if Mum and Dad inform people first.

“Sure, okay.” I shrug, trying to sound nonchalant.

“But let’s wait for Josie first…then you can tell who you want.”

“Oh, yes let’s wait for Josie…and Kit. You must have heard…?” A devious smile forms about Jaxon’s face. What was his game.

“I felt her being marked through the triplet bond. I am sorry I missed it.”

“Are you?” He raises an eyebrow at me, his aura washing over me but I wasn’t going to play ball. I needed to keep my promise to Callie.

“Jaxon, enough.” Dad lowly growls out in warning. I didn’t care, I knew I would have to rebuild my sibling’s trust, Josie especially.

I ran out on her when she came after me, came to help me when I bailed out on the wedding. Moments later leaving the pack and not looking back.
