Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 546

~ Cleo ~

I can’t escape the ominious feeling that I’ve made a mistake, that I have put my trust in somebody too soon.

He doesn’t know my child is Jace’s right? All I said is that my child is not human, that it is an alpha’s.

No I’m very aware of what I say, of not giving away information that could be used against me.

“You’re very quiet this evening Cleo, is everything alright?” Luna Medea points out my lack of communication as she twirls the spaghetti with her fork before moving it to her mouth with a spoon.

My eyes flicker to the female to the right of me, the one that somehow is related to my growing child in my belly.

How is that possible, and why was she here at the very same time as me.

“Yes…” I clear my throat as my voice is a little higher than expected.

“I was just thinking of the female beta.”

“Freya, why?” Luna Medea eyes narrow in on me. I was starting to realise she was less of a wolf and more of a cunning fox.

“She seemed distracted earlier…”

“Nevermind her, once you are officially the new luna you can pick your own female aids, in fact, Than you need to start looking for a new beta. When are you two marking one another?”

“No Mother, I told you, Cleo and I aren’t marking one another.”

“How is that going to work then…you as Alpha, she as Luna?”

“By becoming a pack member, she will share the pack-link then…we can mind-link each other that way.”

“But…”

“Drop it Mother.” A warning growl rumbles out of Than. I’ve been here for a week and I’ve not once seen him assert his alpha title over his Mother. Really, it’s as if she is the leader of this pack, and he does what he is told.

“I’m not looking to axe Freya from her title, I just wanted to make sure she was okay.” I had knocked on the beta home this afternoon but it was Zane that answered the door, who came up with some excuse to send me away.

I couldn’t ignore the feeling that he was keen to get rid of me.

“How was your tour of the hospital?” Than smiles out to me, trying to change the subject.

“Yes…good. I met with the doctors, there are some changes I would like to make..”
