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

Chapter 0083 Chapter 0083

Hector POV

I had extended my search to Alpha Jude, I needed his assistance looking into information that dated long before I set up the pack 4 years ago. Yes I had intelligence, yes I had records...but not as much as Alpha Jude who had decades, if not centuries' worth of alpha

names and pack details.

I was over pushing it, I know I was...but what was the alternative...

Accept my fate with Alora and just wait around for the mate bond to evaporate, for her to have been marked by Than.

No, I had to keep myself busy...and I had to get to Kaia before Than did. I don't understand his infatuation with finding her, and he'll deny it for the sake of Alora, but I know for a fact he is searching for Kaia. His trackers have been seen combing the borders of the alliance packs, packs that would attack them if I gave the order.

It's my fault he is looking for her again, in my red haze of anger I gave information out that I now regret doing. The mate bond with Alora has always made me think irrationally, something seems to possess me that I don't recognise in myself. Now I've potentially put Kaia in harm's way. I had to get to her first.

Ezra, Riley and I have been looking into the background of any alphas that had visited the Dark Phantom pack since its creation, which is more than I thought. Even in the space of 4 years, we've held more events than I care to remember.

"This one?" Riley calls out to me, as he uploads another alpha's picture up on the large screen I had installed in my office to aid in our hunt.

"No, he died, his son took over the pack.." I correct him from my own memory.

"Maybe Kaia doesn't know he died...maybe that's why she couldn't find him." Ezra offers.

"Hhmm maybe.." I wasn't convinced, Kaia had a purpose to come here from day one. I thought I had been clever in gaining her trust to join my pack, thinking I had the upper hand but she had also been playing me from day one. No matter what game I tried to play with her, I know now that she was going to drink my blood regardless. It wasn't many that could play me at my own game.

"How about this one?" Riley uploads another picture up on the screen, a face I don't recognise. They were just all starting to blend together.
