Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 53

Chapter 0053 

Than POV 

I wake up to Alora’s naked body draped over mine. The silk bed sheet covering her lower half whilst her perfectly rounded breasts lay pressed against my stomach. 

All I wanted was for us to stay like this, to be like this forever. But her body was failing her, she doesn’t know it yet but she can feel something is wrong. 

I can sense it through the bond. 

Even last night, I could sense she was exhausted but she was on a mission to please me…to prove that we are each others. 

He can plan all he wants, he’s never getting her. I will rip out his heart the moment he gets close to her again. That’s what I tried to do back then, as soon as he declared she was his mate in front of Mother and Father, I lost it. 

I knew we were meant to be, I just needed to wait a few more days until I turned 18 before I had proof. But he wouldn’t wait, claiming I already had more than I deserved, that she belonged to him. 

There was not a chance in hell that she was leaving with him that day. In the anger of the moment I even fleetingly contemplated killing her myself just to stop him getting his hands on her. 

Then she made her own choice, neither of us. 

My fingers trace the slim curvature of her figure, her breathing catching in her sleep at my touch. She was growing strong again, I just had to make sure it wasn’t in vain. 

How could she ever think she was never mine. 

My fingers trace all the way up from her thighs, to her hips and side boob, to her shoulders finishing at her ear. Before they rest on her neck. 

I’ve been arguing with Mother a lot about marking Alora. 

She wants me to wait, to mark her in front of the pack in an official ceremony. 

I couldn’t my give a shit, I just need her to be mine. Fuck what the pack thinks, they’ll follow my lead anyway. 

I was their alpha and Alora my Luna. There could be no denying that. 

However, my only concern was that I will lose the small connection to Kaia when I mark Alora. And I need that connection. 

I need to get her back, for her to trust me. So that I can save Alora. Without the small buzz of the bond, I won’t be able to control Kaia as I’ve always done. 

I was having an internal battle between marking Alora and breaking into the Dark Phantom pack and taking Kaia…. 

It’s been days, why hasn’t she come back. The photograph should have done the trick. 

Squashed any trust that she would have had in him.

She should already be here, why isn’t she. 

She had nowhere else to go. 1

“Calm down Than. You need to learn better patience. She will come.” 

“How can I be calm Mother? It’s been days, it should have fucking worked.” I could feel my own temper getting the better of me, my wolf getting closer to winning our internal battle for dominance. 

“And it will do. He’s probably in crisis mode with her right now. Trying to regain her trust. Do you want me to bring Father in.” 

“No, I do not need Father to handle my shit.” 

“Then sort it out Than. Be the fucking Alpha you were born to be. I can’t have your drama cause issues with me and my mate again.” 

With a final warning glare she storms out of my office, cursing at me under breath. 

“Oh had Luna left?” Freya walks in carrying a tray of drinks, which she sets down on the cabinet by the door. 

“Yes!” I grunt, my mood souring instantly at Mother’s lack of maternal skills. Maybe she was right though, maybe Father was the one that could end this.
