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

Chapter 0053

Than POV

I wake up to Alora's naked body draped over mine. The silk bed sheet covering her lower half whilst her perfectly rounded breasts lay pressed against my stomach.

All I wanted was for us to stay like this, to be like this forever. But her body was failing her, she doesn't know it yet but she can feel something is wrong.

I can sense it through the bond.

Even last night, I could sense she was exhausted but she was on a mission to please me...to prove that we are each others.

He can plan all he wants, he's never getting her. I will rip out his heart the moment he gets close to her again. That's what I tried to do back then, as soon as he declared she was his mate in front of Mother and Father, I lost it.

I knew we were meant to be, I just needed to wait a few more days until I turned 18 before I had proof. But he wouldn't wait, claiming I already had more than I deserved, that she belonged to him.

There was not a chance in hell that she was leaving with him that day. In the anger of the moment I even fleetingly contemplated killing her myself just to stop him getting his hands on her. Then she made her own choice, neither of us.

My fingers trace the slim curvature of her figure, her breathing catching in her sleep at my touch. She was growing strong again, I just had to make sure it wasn't in vain. How could she ever think she was never mine.

My fingers trace all the way up from her thighs, to her hips and side boob, to her shoulders finishing at her ear. Before they rest on her neck.
