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

Chapter 0085

Kaia POV

"You'll see..." He chuckles at my slight apprehension, my eyes narrowing playfully to him in an untrusting

manner.

We walk back to the main grounds of the Nightshade Reformed pack, taking longer than if I walked alone. Father's leg does slow him down. But only in body, his mind was still strong.

He had done so much in the past 4 years, the beautiful white stoned alpha house a testimony to that.

We were still building as we went, pack houses and now a small medical centre until we could raise more funds to expand within the borders. Due to the lands being contested, we had regular attacks from neighbouring packs that claimed the land belonged to them. Many packs had already signed a treaty since I arrived, if we promise to send warriors in the event of an attack on their lands. I pleaded our case, even venturing into their lands for meetings but other packs still felt we were up to something else...we weren't. The rogue attacks were often paid for by the packs not agreeing with our set up on these land, even trained warriors posing as rogues to gain entry. My role here was not only to help build up from within, but build our reputation on the outside...something Father just didn't have time for.

It was hard to rest, but we were on a mission and nothing ever worth having was easy. It also helped that sleeping was still hard for me and I would often work into the early hours of the morning, not wanting to visit my past in my own dreams.

He raises an eyebrow at me, before his facial expression changes to a more serious tone.
