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

Chapter 0027

Kaia POV

Something had changed with Alpha Hector, he was now going out of his way to spend more time with me.

Each time I mentioned my own place he would brush it off with a, "Let's see show we." 1

He won't want me here with a newborn baby screaming the house turn, waking him up at night, not when it isn't his but his nemesis's.

He has even gone as far as invite me to a pack security meeting. Something Than never allowed, even though I was his wife and the destined Luna...or so I thought at the time.

The meeting is intense, covering each angle of potential outcome of the Amber Desert warriors still skirting around the borders of the pack. Not making any movement to be interpreted as an act of war, but a reminder that they were still there...waiting...ready. Beta Ezra leads the majority of the meeting, his eyes flickering to mine every so often, as he mentions the alpha and the pack.

I don't know why, I held no loyalty to the Amber Desert pack. But knowing that I was married to the Alpha, Ezra could be forgiven for listening to his wolf's calls of warning.

"Kaia, is there anything you would like to add?" Hector calmly asks me in front of his beta and heads of departments.

What do I say? That I appreciate their protection but let's not dance around the subject...he is here for me? That he will attack, not if but when.

And it is only a matter of time.

"I may be his legal wife but unfortunately I wasn't privy to pack meetings, so there isn't a lot of information I can give, or any tactics I know that could help."

"You were his luna, no?" A male asks me, I think the head of training.

"I wasn't permitted to carry out luna duties, that still remained with his Mother. I am sorry." I shrug, sincerely feeling a disappointment for not being able to help them further.

"No need to apologise Kaia." Hector offers before moving on to discuss the increase of training and the use of weapons if necessary.
