Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 597

“That’s right, I’m one up on you.” I cut the mind-link, purposefully pushing my butt into his groin, teasing him.

“Which I will leave the three of you to do.” I say to all three of them, exiting the room.

“You don’t have to. I want you to stay.” Jace’s voice pushes into my mind. I could feel that he wants me to stay, that he wants me to get to know his friend. Which I will, but they need time together…Jace and I had all the time in the world now.

“It’s fine, besides…I need to see my parents.”

…..

I return back to the alpha house in search of my parents, but come across Jaxon pacing the living area…his eyes almost onyx.

I hesitate in entering the room as his thick aura weighs heavily on the atmosphere, making the air hard to breathe even from this distance.

“Jaxon?” I wearily call his name, holding back on the verge of entering into the room.

He stops pacing, his eyes moving to mine as he starts to rein his aura back in…the air becoming more breathable…more welcoming, just.

“Have you seen Jace? He isn’t answering his phone.”

“He’s at the hospital, his friend Colt has just woken up. Why?” I can’t ignore the feeling that something was wrong..truly wrong.

Jaxon might be one of the scariest males I have ever met, his aura dark…almost black. But recently he has been calmer, his outburst not as aggressive as they once were…he seems a lot more in control.

So for me to find him like this, is of concern to me.

“He’s not answering his phone.”

“I’m sure he’ll check it soon enough, is it something I can help with.”

“Not really.”

“Not really…am I not his mate, am I not his luna? Come on Jaxon, what is it…you can trust me.”

“It’s not about trusting you Cleo, of course I trust you.”

“Then let’s hear it.” I demand, moving to one of the seats, making it very clear that I intended not to leave until he shared what was bothering him.
