Denied by Destiny Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 371

“He knew who Josie was and that I was the alpha trainer, he didn’t mention Beta Alora.” I shrug with my response.

“Good…that’s good. He must not know she is here. We should leave, before news reaches him.” He repeats with clear determination.

“I think it’s for the best.” Hector concludes, as he walks Ezra out of the cabin, leaving the door open to the dark night.

“What the fuck was that about?” Jace blows out through his cheeks, before whistling.

“I don’t know…but I’m going to find out.” Jaxon lowly growls before he exits the cabin, Jace follows, leaving me alone with the scent of Josie.

This night had turned into a diaster. All I wanted was for a peaceful bike ride with Josie, just to have her alone.

My footsteps returning to the alpha house are quick, I’m almost breaking out into a run. My wolf’s patience was waining from being in her cabin with her not in it.

As I step through the alpha house front door, I find most of the lights off except for a small lamp in the living room, and the soft glow of the television screen.

I can hear her soft moans as she sleeps deeply on the sofa. I move towards her, Lobo laying on the floor beside her, guarding her even as she sleeps. His head raises as I move towards them both. I press a finger to my lips as I run my hand upon the top of his head, his tail wagging from my attention to him.

“Let’s not wake her shall we..”

Lobo moves, giving me the space to move in front of her. My hands dive under her, firmly locking themselves under her back and under her legs.

I swoop her up, skillfully keeping the blanket upon her as she leans into my touch.

I carry her upstairs, a moan escaping her as she places her mouth to the base of my neck…and I bite down on my tongue to stop the urge of kissing her.

Kissing her and waking her for more.

I place her down on her bed, leaving a night light on beside her. Old habits I suppose.

“To your cabin in fact. Beta Alora and Ezra are leaving in the morning. He seemed keen to get her off pack grounds and put distance between them and this Than fellow.”

“Auntie Alora said the same, but not quite with so much urgency. I’m going to go with them.”

“What? Since when?” I can’t help the panic that forms in the back of my throat.

“I didn’t realise they were going so soon, but yes…I think it would be good for me and my wolf.”

At first I don’t respond, I continue to stroke the hair behind her ear as she places the side of her face upon my bare chest.

“I’m coming with you then.” I state, not asking.

“I wouldn’t expect anything less.” She murmurs happily against my chest before the sounds of her heavy breathing inform me she has fallen back to sleep.
