Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 570

This isn’t the first time Rosa has lost control of her wolf and Cleo has had to pick up the pieces, had to protect Ares even as a child.

We were all grieving, we were all exhausted…but we don’t let our wolves take on full control and block out the human side.

I let my aura roll off me and direct it solely on to the small luna wolf in front of me, my mate frozen in her chair…her hands placed protectively upon her stomach. She was protecting what was also mine.

This was now my kitchen, my house…and I won’t have anybody treat my luna in such a way.

“Out!” I roar out, my fury rolling off my tongue.

“Jace…” Cleo calls out to me, trying to calm me as her mum’s wolf whimpers under my powerful aura. Yes she was a luna…but I can feel the power coursing through me…I was no longer hiding from my Alpha title, I was embracing it…my power was not getting stronger.

“I said out!” I move towards the kitchen doors that seem to lead out towards a patio area into the garden.

“Don’t come back until you have control of your wolf Rosa.” I burst the doors open, my hand tightly gripped around the door handle as I try to not let my own anger take control of me.

“What is going on?” I hear Orpheus growl out just as Rosa’s wolf moves past me into the patio area.

“Get control of our mate Orpheus.” I bark out, slamming the door shut.

“Jace…what…” His eyes move down from mine to his mate’s wolf on the other side of the door.

“This isn’t the first time she’s done this, I won’t have my pregnant mate put in harm’s way by her own mother.”

“Cleo?” Ares steps past his father as he moves deeper into the kitchen, the entire downstairs now awake by my sudden angry outburst.

“Ares, I’m fine…it’s nothing.” Cleo waves her hand at her brother, trying to down play the situation.

“Not again.” Ares sighs out.

“She was just tired, that’s all.”
