Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 557

“All me, I fucking know.” I sigh out, releasing my hold on him and running my hands through my hair.

“What do you want to do?” Jaxon takes a step closer to me, his jaw tense…his eyes burning with rage.

“Who the fuck is this Than? I need her away from him, no matter what…if he thinks he can claim my mate and baby as his…”

“He won’t, we won’t let that happen.”

"I swear to the goddess Jace if something happens to her..” Josie pushes against my chest, all her anger directed at me.

“Don’t you think I know that Josie, don’t you think I know I’ve fucked up.” I roar back at her.

“And you, what the fuck were you thinking…you knew, you knew they were fated mates and still went along with this?” Josie turns on Callie, redirecting her anger.

“I didn’t know she was pregnant, he assured me he didn’t want this. I’ve got shit of my own Josie, life hasn’t been easy for me….I’m not the daughter of the untouchable alpha mates. You don’t know my life, so why don’t you fuck the back off.” Both females stand up to one another, Josie’s eyes bleeding out to that of her wolf. The healer wolf still has a temper.

I don’t have time for this.

“Callie, this isn’t helping.” I growl out over my shoulder as I exit the front door, Knox and Jaxon on my six, the females behind them.

“Plan?” Knox turns to me, expectantly.

“In my eyes the Amber Desert declared war the moment their alpha thought he could take my mate. We move, with warriors…if it’s a fight he wants…it’s a fight he’ll get.”

“I’ll get the order to the Dark Phantom warriors…”

“Fine but tell them to hurry. I may not be their alpha yet but it’s time we showed the world what the Clear Waters pack is made of.”

……

Every minute waiting for the dark phantom warriors to arrive has been a living hell.

Silence, I demanded complete silence. I couldn’t have the Amber Desert getting wind of any sign that they were under surveillance.

My warriors held back, hiding behind the tree-line, using the camouflage that nature provides us. Ready to shift at any given word and launch our attack.
