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

Chapter 0067

"...because he wants to show that he has won."

His own parents announcing the joyous occasion...their names solidifying the bond they share with her... the bond I never had.

My mate is finally to mark another. I knew he would, after seeing her in the hospital bed. After hearing of her reawakening. I knew this would come.
