Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond

Chapter 0018

Kaia POV

"She belongs to me...to my pack." Than declares to Alpha Hector.

"Is that so?" Alpha Hector remains calm in front of a fiery force, almost finding Than amusing.

With a scoff, Than leans forward, his lips just by Alpha Hector's ear.

"You're loving this aren't you...just remember she is my wife...my wife by werewolf law. She'll have to return to me." He seethes through his teeth trying to whisper but I still catch it nonetheless.

My new alpha doesn't respond, he doesn't rise to Than's challenge.

I may be his wife but I'm not his property.

Than slowly nods, finally understanding that I won't be coming back. His entire body turns, as he starts to walk towards the exit. All eyes now on him, not that he notices. Than has always been self involved. Beta Ezra and a few warriors walk over, preparing to escort Than out of the building and off the pack grounds.

He suddenly stops in the middle of the room, his hands clenching by his side.

"She's awake....." He mutters, his words travelling across the length of the ball room to me.

It's only just audible to my ears but my chest hears it loud and clear. He was out of time and had come to collect me, collect my organs. Collect his so called property.

As soon as Than left the door of the hall, I also left the banquet. I couldn't remain in a party mood, with a beautiful gown on, when all I wanted to do was rip the dress off and smear my make up off.

He knows I am here now, how long until he attacks the border. How long before I am ousted for being a threat to the pack....

I ate breakfast alone the next morning, Alpha Hector didn't return from training until mid morning. And even then he spent all day in his office.

He was pissed at me, pissed at me for not telling him the truth. That I was from the enemy pack.
