Denied by Destiny Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 299

Stepping out of the alpha house into the main courtyard area, we find two warriors remaining, the rest no doubt already racing to the borders.

“Shouldn’t you be at the borders?” Josie demands of them.

“We were told to escort you miss.”

“Unbelievable…very well.” She nods at them before turning and whistling, Lobo seconds later, running out of the front door to be by her side.

“Which direction miss?”

“The Meadow, I know that area like the back of my hand. I’ll know if something is abnormal.” She orders before breaking out into a run, Lobo by her side.

We reach the meadow, the uncut grass and long wildflowers the perfect location to hide ourselves whilst keeping an eye on the woods that lead to the borders. There will be guards already on the border, but if they have been ambushed by an enemy, us remaining here will be the best option to take them out.

The two warriors take the lead, both in their wolf form, as they hide in the meadow Lobo by Josie’s side but keen to join them. She’s even hushed him a few times when his growling became too loud.

“You can shift, I don’t mind.” She whispers, her eyes not leaving the woods in front.

“We can both shift…I told you, you don’t need a gun.” I respond with a smirk as she freezes when my shoulder gently presses against hers.

“I head up training with weapons, this is me being war ready. Don’t worry Knox, I’ll keep you safe.” She returns my smirk, her attitude too humorous for my liking.

“I promised Jaxon I would remain by your side.”

Why doesn’t she shift, the need for our wolves to shift constantly is always there, like the need to drink and eat. So why does she fight it, why does she deny it.

Movement in front jerks my head away from her. One of the warrior’s shifts…his human frame standing up and walking back over to us.

“The Alpha has called it off, whoever was there…is long gone.”

“Fine, back to your stations.” She acknowledges the message. But again, why was it necessary. Why did a warrior wolf have to shift to deliver her a message in person, rather than her hear it herself through the pack link. From the mind-link of her own father.

Why rather than shift and help lead the warriors was she allowed to remain in her human form and carry a gun full with silver bullets.

I had questions, questions I knew that I would have to dig for the answers. This entire pack was hiding something and from what I’ve already witnessed it all circles around the alpha’s daughter, the fiery red head.
