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

Alora POV

"What's wrong?" I ask as his jaw tenses, his hands remaining clenched down by his thighs.

He doesn't verbally respond, only shakes his head. He won't lie to me but in not telling me, isn't that just the same.

Being in the car with him, with the engine turned off, was starting to challenge my self control. I have to wind down my own window as his scent was becoming more potent from the lack of fresh air. I'm not sure if I can trust myself against the imate bond... It has confused me once before.

"Do you know where she has gone?"

"No, even if I did, I wouldn't tell you." His tone has some bitterness laced within it, something I wasn't used to being on the receiving end from Hector. "Why?"

"I can't have it go back to Than."

"I wouldn't do that...I wouldn't betray your trust."

"You wouldn't have a choice... Than has some kind of hold on you." That bitterness he can taste on his tongue, I can sense it. The corner of his mouth sneers, "He's my mate.."

"I'm your mate Alora. What about me?" He roars, a loud bang resonating within the car as he strikes at the 'steering wheel, his anger eating away at him.

I could sense his wolf was trying to come forward, trying to fight the hold. His chest starts to pant from the struggle within.

I very slowly move to open the car door, I won't be marked forcibly.

As I open the car door and push it ajar, he reaches across me, pulling the car door shut.

The top of his dark brown hair brushing under my nose and I can't withhold the wanton whimper my wolf emits.

Why was everything so complicated. Why do I have two mate bonds.

He lifts his head but not enough to remove that need within me. His lips so close to mine I can feel each exhalation of air. I inhale his exhaled breath, the smell of warm mint making my own mouth saliva. It feels too lustful, inhaling air that has already been in his lungs. How easy it would be for me to place my lips on to his...to taste him.
