Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 495

“Jace..” She growls out at me.

“Okay okay.” I playfully back away, placing my hands out in defeat.

The sparing match has gone into its second hour, not one of them showing signs of defeat. They were as stubborn as each other.

They were also gaining an audience, warriors and pack members coming over to inspect the small commotion on the training fields, when no pack exercises have been scheduled.

Callie was losing, it was clear Knox was holding back. He was an alpha by birth right and also spent years honing in on his training skills.

But Callie was fierce, she didn’t play by the rules. One wrong turn from Knox and she will turn the fight around.

“Aren’t you getting tired yet?” Knox grits out as she pulls him head back by his hair.

“Nope, I could do this all day handsome.” She mocks out, her tongue coming out too closely to his ear. She means it teasingly but my sister takes it as a sexual threat.

Callie’s eyes flash in my direction as Josie growls out warningly.

“It’s between them, back down.” I warn at Josie as she starts to move towards the fringe of the training ground, her body rocking forward on the balls of her feet.

Preparing to protect her mate, preparing to take out a sexual threat. Even though there isn’t one. There’s a reason mated wolves aren’t meant to be touched by others that are not their mates.

It’s a territorial thing especially for male wolves. But judging by Josie, she felt just as territorial.

Just watching her chemical reaction, I think of only one person, as Josie tries to fight her wolf’s demands to protect her mate.

Her wolf was fighting her for control, trying to over throw her.

“Josie.” I let my alpha aura wash over her, trying to calm her wolf.

“Mine.” She roars out, her eyes on fire as they stupidly continue to fight in front of her.

“Josie?” I call out to her, trying to shake her out of it but she pushes me back, with enough force to knock me back onto the ground.
