Denied by Destiny Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 408

“It had been the alpha that attacked the pack. Kaia’s own father killed each pack member to retain power.” Hector finishes what Kaia couldn’t.

“What?” Both Josie and Jace gasp out at the same time.

“He wanted to utilise the power of the white wolf for himself. After his death…the Nightshade Reformed pack was inundated with attacks by a neighbouring pack. A pack that had be in cahoots with the White Moon pack.

A pack that claimed ownership of the white wolf. A pack that has now set its sights on you, Josie.”

“Well I’m not a white wolf.”

“No…you have the potential to be of even more use to them. If captured and corrupted for their gain, your healing powers could make their fighters unstoppable.

An invincible army that would spread across this planet, and not just in the werewolf world.”

“I would never help them!” Josie says with unbreakable determination.

“Can you say that darling, when you aren’t pushed to the extreme, to breaking point. Everyone has a weakness, you just have to find it.

What if they have something of yours, something you want more than anything to protect…a sibling…a child…a mate?” Josie’s terrified eyes cast upon me, an ominous feel taking over the incomplete mate bond.

“Don’t do that, don’t fucking scare her like that!” I warn out, my fists clenching as tiny balls by my sides.

“Careful Knox!” Kaia warns me with a low rumble, her eyes vicious as I continue to stare out her mate.

“Stop it all of you. This is what they want. They want inner fighting, they want to create disruption within the pack. Pick us apart to pick us off. I say we attend to the injured, we bury the dead, we help the bereaved and we show them that we are united, that we are together.” Josie states, her chin tilting upwards as she steps further into the office.

“I agree with Josie, it’s time to be truthful and come together.” Jace confirms as he takes a step closer to his sister, standing by her side.

“I’m in agreement to. Let’s carry on as we were, and when they come for us again…we will be ready!” Jaxon nods in agreement, moving to stand united with his siblings.

Why do I have a feeling my past is about to repeat itself.
