Denied by Destiny Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 10

Chapter 0010 

Kaia POV 

“You are with child?” Alpha Hector’s hand goes to his mouth, as he considers my newly shared 

information. 

“I am. Will that be an issue?” I ensure my back is straight, I didn’t plan to tell a soul so soon, but I can’t shift and remaining here really was my only option for the time being. 

“Have you seen a doctor?” 

“I…no.” His words aren’t what I was expecting, and they catch me off guard as I prepare to defend myself. 

Why was this rumoured odious alpha suddenly asking if I have seen a doctor? Did he actually care for my pregnant state? 

Surely once I am settled I’ll be left alone like before…that’s actually what I craved right now. Some alone time to think things through. 

“I will show you to your room and will make sure my head doctor sees you first thing in the morning!” 

“That’s really not necessary.” 

“I insist!” He firmly states as he stands from his chair and moves away from his desk. He picks my rucksack up for me and leads the way. 

I am shown to my room by Beta Ezra where he encourages me to rest and assures me that some clothes would be brought and left outside the bedroom door. 

I struggle to rest, as I lay on the bed my mind starts to work at full speed, considering my next step. Where Father was and why I was identical to Alora? How can two people look so alike but never have met before…. 

I have to find Father…I have to find out if he knows about her. 

My mind in overdrive; rest doesn’t come naturally to me and I am conscious of not keeping the Alpha waiting for dinner. Therefore I head downstairs early, to locate the kitchen and make myself a drink. 

With my mind’s attention elsewhere I spill the juice, completely drenching the kitchen surface. 

Grabbing a cloth I wipe the beige work top only to look up and find a female staring at me. And judging by her frown, she didn’t appreciate me making a mess of her pristine workspace. 

“Sorry, I’ll get out of your way…” I move quickly to leave no traces of my presence and get out of the room as her eyes glaze over, no doubt checking on my identity.” 

“No need, can I help you miss?” She offers less frosty as her eyes return to normal. 

“I just needed a drink, so I’m all good…” I smile preparing to walk away when she starts to converse with 

me about dinner. 

“The Alpha usually picks the menu but if you have any preferences, as his guest….”

As his guest? That sounded very…formal. 

“No, whatever you have planned would…” 

Wait… 

“Does he have many guests here at the alpha house?” 

“Not for some time miss, why?” 

“I’m trying to find someone that may have come here. An alpha?” 

“An Alpha? Hhmm I’m not sure, you’d have to ask Alpha Hector.” 

Well that I wasn’t going to do, I’m not sure yet how trustworthy he is. 

I remain in the kitchen, even helping cook the dinner. I learn that the lady’s name is Aubrey and she has a mate and two young teenage girls also at this pack. 

By the time dinner is ready I find myself missing her friendly demeanour. I am now sat at the opposite end of a long dining table, the only light being provided is by dimly lit candles. 

“Did you get much rest?” He finally speaks to me after reading his evening report and tossing it on the fine dining table. 

“Not really.” 

“I’ve asked the head doctor to see you at 8.30am tomorrow, I can take you…” 

Η 

“That’s okay, if you point me in the right direction I’m sure I can find my way.” I was keen to walk around. the pack alone tomorrow, to find out any information on Father. I didn’t want to be escorted for that exact 

reason. 

“I’m trying to understand how someone like yourself becomes a rogue. You’re lucky you stumbled in my coffee shop, you weren’t too far from another pack…” 

“Oh?” 

“Yes, the Amber Desert pack in fact.” 

Shit! My heart quickens and I know for a fact he would have noticed. His mentioning of Than’s pack has come out of nowhere. 

He stands and walks towards me, like a man on a mission. I’m a pack member now, I can feel his command preparing itself on me, his aura building. 

He stops before me, his tall muscular figure overshadowing me once again. 

His eyes piercing into mine. 

“Have you heard of their Alpha, Than Sable?”
