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

Chapter 0104

Alora POV

Kaia was talking about a Than I didn't recognise, a Than I didn't know.

Or so I thought.

Her words are like bullets attacking at the ears and making their way to my chest. I wanted her to stop but this is what I have come for isn't it, to hear her side of events.

Hearing of their time at college together made me feel sick, how he said he loved her...her claiming it was all a ruse. But you can't outwit the mate bond, I'm living proof of that. So he must have felt something for her, he married her.

How he got her pregnant...I feel sick just thinking of the possibility. I've never touched another, but he slept with her...as his wife.

I was standing up, holding my hands to my ears not that it would stop me hearing her words. My eyes flicker to her stomach, if she was carrying Than's child this would change everything.

"I escaped, knowing the only pack I needed was the notorious Dark Phantom pack, the alpha that was Than's enemy. If I could gain safe sanctuary there whilst looking for Father, I could breathe long enough to think of my next step. No pack can storm the borders of the Dark Phantom lands.

Hector accepted me, sheltered me but when I found out that he was also your mate, I knew I couldn't remain, that I couldn't be safe. I knew he would trade me and the baby in for you. But he made me believe he wasn't like that, and like a fool I believed him. He was very manipulative, in some ways more damaging to me than Than. The mate bond always weaving its webs of lies.

When I found out he loved you, that you were mates...I miscarried."

"You miscarried?" I gasp, I wouldn't wish that on any woman and I can see in her eyes, the horror she still bears from what she has been through. No matter what, an innocent has been lost.

as it pains me I need to hear everything, I need to hear more. If she was my sister, my twin, I needed to know what she had been through because of me, because

It's clear to me now that I don't know the whole truth." But what I don't get is why finding out Hector was my mate and that he loved me would cause her so much pain it would result in her miscarrying. Unless...she

are you. Hector can't feel the bond, I presume, because Than rejected me. But you haven't rejected Hector, so like me, he is stuck in limbo, in the shadows. The mate bond still humming until both parties reject one another. Worse in
