Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 536

~ Jace ~

“I promise…it’s not what you think!” I hear Jaxon grunt out as he tries to push me off him but I’m too busy pummelling him with punch after punch.

How dare he even try to take advantage of her in that kind of way.

“Why else were you in her bedroom?” I’m like a man possessed as all I see is my brother protecting his face through red-hazed eyes.

“Because…”

I continue to punch as the wetness of blood coats my knuckles. I continue to drive punch after punch into his face, hands trying to grip at me from behind but I’m too fast for them, too angry for them.

“Jace stop!” I hear Auntie Alora’s voice from behind me, she must also be trying to pull me off him.

He’s decided that he’s had enough of my punches when he lands a harsh blow to my temple, not holding back on the weight behind it.

“Because…I needed her to tell me the truth!” He growls out at me, his wolf on the cusp of shifting. A warning, one more punch from me and he’ll let loose in my sitting room.

“What truth?” I pull him up off the floor by the scruff of his collar just high enough, a fist threatening to knock him out once for all. If he’s so much as touched her I’ll fucking kill him.

I pull my hand back….preparing to land the hardest of punches when an icy coldness spreads through me, first at my chest then out…as if my blood pumping through my veins was being frozen over.

All energy was leaving me.

My hand drops from Jaxon’s shirt as I start to claw at my chest.

“Enough!” I hear Mum seethe from behind. I turn to find her eyes an ethereal blue, she was doing something to me. She was causing this.

Was she taking my strength away from me. Is this what her ability does, is this what he feels like.

I’ve never experienced it myself but judging by her goddess like glare, that was in fact what she was doing to me.
