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

Chapter 0064 Chapter 0064

Kaia POV

I can't think of anything worse than attending a pack party today. Attendance has been declared essential for every pack member.

I was even delaying getting ready, finding anything to distract me seemed more important...even the mundane task of checking my emails.

I'm late which perhaps was a mistake. I can hear the music from the pack hall before I even close my front door. The laughter of the pack members celebrating their anniversary of when the pack was created. I must admit for such a young pack, they have...he has done well.

I dread their stares, their whispers but when I finally arrive all I see of kindness.

Gentle nods of appreciation for attending, females welcoming me by gently touching my arms...letting me know that I am safe with them. That no one will mention my recent heartache.

Yet they all know, if I couldn't tell by their eyes...then Rosa coming over to check on me was confirmation enough. I was used to being ignored by a pack and I'm starting to realise the level of manipulation Than used on me in the college years. Grooming me as a lone female.

At the time I was on cloud nine, now I feel like a fool for believing his poetic words that he used to sweetly whisper into my ear.

The pack hall is decorated with large party lights which as the afternoon continues will offer a soft glow as evening falls.

A live band plays in the pack hall with a large bbq area and bar stand outside, tables and chairs prettily dressed with wildflowers picked from the pack's meadows.

How did they earn the reputation of a ruthless pack. Maybe that is how they have managed to grow so quickly, the image marketed out very different to the characteristic of the pack internally.

I see him talking to the band after they finish their song, deep in conversation. He hasn't noticed my arrival, why would he. To him I am just any other pack member.
