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

Chapter 0102

Kaia POV

"Shall we take this inside?" It's Samson that speaks, suggesting we take things into a more private setting.

"Kaia?" He presses by my ear...pressing for me to do something...not just stand here staring at the piece of paper in Alora's hand. Words seem to fail me at this moment in time, any single coherent word has fallen out of my head.

A nod, a simple nod is all Samson needs to perform his duties as acting beta.

"I want warriors to move in, I want 2 to be inside at all times with the pack-link fully open." He orders, taking a step towards Alora.

"You best come inside." He gestures to both Alora and Freya to enter the house, 2 warriors now leading them into my home.

I overtake in the hallway, leading our guests into the alpha office, closing the door as the warriors stand at their post outside. I know why Samson has done this. Without a pack-link should we be attacked he wouldn't be able to get word to the wider pack. By having warriors at the door, they'll sense any untoward behaviour by our guests.

I turn from the closed door to find Alora already talking about their journey here, about finding us. For someone who has been asleep for 4 years, she was sure making up for lost time. Maybe it was a level of nervous that kept her talking, that only by interrupting her will she stop.

"You shouldn't be here!" I cut her off with a loud sigh as I move to sit in Father's chair. A stress headache was forming and I had a feeling it would develop into a full migraine by the time we were done here today. Her arrival will only cause me undue stress. She's lucky Father isn't here, he would have marched her directly to the cells.

'Can we talk alone?" Her eyes flicker to Samson before landing back on mine.

'With all due respect, I am the beta and promised the alpha not to leave the luna alone."

Alpha? Are you marked now...." She asks credulously.

burst into laughter before turning my neck sideways for her to glimpse at my mark-free neck.
