Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 599

There was far too much testosterone in this room right now.

“Walking away?”

“No, I’m checking on my mate who is unconscious, from healing your friend.” Knox grunts out as he moves towards the staircase, his lips snarling.

Jace takes Knox’s place beside me without hesitation. He even places his hands on me and

moves me into him, his nose going to my neck as he inhales my scent to calm him.

“You need to sort that. He did nothing wrong.” Jaxon grunts out to his brother, surprising even me.

“I know, I will….it’s just too raw.”

“He was right though…you would have done the same if the roles were reversed.”

“Maybe.”

“Maybe? Shit Jace, you know you would have done. As would I. Don’t be too hard on him, he’s done a lot for us…and he’s the perfect match for Josie. Sort it.”

“I will.”

“Which leads me to another issue…” Jaxon’s eyes fall upon mine.

“Jaxon, I said no.” I growl out at him, making it well known I didn’t appreciate his involvement.

“He needs to know Cleo.”

“Know what?”

“Where’s your phone?”

“Here in my…” Jace lifts his butt up off the sofa, placing a hand into his pack pocket…his free hand remaining traipsed over my shoulders.

He pulls his phone out to show numerous of missed calls.

“..Shit..” He cusses under his breath as he presses redial, a male’s voice answering immediately.

“Alpha?”

“Ozborne?” Jace’s eyes shoot to mine before placing the phone out and putting it on speakerphone.

“We have an update Alpha. There are signs that she has been hiding in the mountains with a group of rogues. ”

“Have you seen her?”

“No, but there have been confirmed sightings of a female meeting her description.”
