Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 500

~ Jace ~

I’m sitting on the edge of the bed watching Callie put make up on in front of my mirror.

She’s not spoken to me all day, not since Josie healed her arm and willingly informed her of her special abilities.

She asked to go to the hospital, to have her arm checked out even though Josie kept insisting there was no need, that any X-ray would show the bone completely healed.

As werewolves we get used to injuries in training, even for our bodies to heal fast, but I get it…it’s a tad freaky to have another wolf heal you with red light coming from their hands.

But what blew my own mind was that apparently Mum has similar powers, something that I didn’t know.

Something about being the White Wolf from the fairy tales and Josie had abilities as well because she was her daughter…it passes on through the female gene.

Mind blown.

Mind blown even further when I challenged Mum to test her abilities on me, soon feeling as if energy was being forcibly drained from my body. Only for a surge of recharged power to be channelled back into me.

How long, how long have they known about this and not told us.

Our entire lives apparently. Shit, I mean of course I knew Mum was a white wolf, but not the White Wolf.

“I understand if you want an out?” I offer to Callie, things had already changed since our original plan.

“An out?”

“Of all of this. Believe me, if I had known about my own mother and the pending threat of this White Moon pack…” Who launched the attack on the wedding night, trying to get access to Mum but also Josie.

“Are you joking? This is wild, the White Wolf actually exists? No…why would I want an out?” Callie’s fingers move into quotation marks at the mention of the White Wolf.

“Being my luna puts you automatically in the firing line.”

“I’ve been in the firing line myself for some time Jace. It’s not every day an alpha born rejects their pack, their parents.”

“This is different, you know this. This is unprecedented. I won’t hold it against you if you

want out. I’ll sign my side of the hotel over to you for ownership, you get to walk away.”

She ponders my offer, her eyes catching mine in the mirror’s reflection. It was unfair of me
