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

Chapter 0123

Hector POV

"They can do as they please...but ideally they will leave as they came." Kaia seethes at our fur forms, before spinning in her nakedness and walking away.

I didn't expect her to bring out the welcome parade but at least a warm smile at my arrival, at our saving their pack members...we were friends after all. Weren't we?

I watch her walk away into the distance, the blonde male that had fought along side her stepping up to us.

"I'm not really sure what just happened but I know the Alpha will want to see you...follow me." He sighs out, gesturing for us to follow.

We shift into human form and it doesn't take long for someone to run up to our new tour guide handing over clothes for us to use.

We continue to walk until we start to descent upon a large white mansion surrounded by cypress trees, it was cleverly designed to match the coastal scenery. Is this where Kala had been all along...

As soon as I see him exit the grand front doors, making his way over to us I remember him instantly. How could I have forgotten him...he had a limp to his walk and the scar across his eye was still prominent. "Alpha Hector...it's great to see you again!" He extends his hand out to me, shaking it with enthusiasm. He clearly remembered me.

"Alpha Beckett, I'm glad to see you finally made a new pack for yourself."

"It's getting there, I hear we have you both to thank for winning the battle. I hope you haven't been injured." "This is Jude, he is an alpha of a neighbouring pack of mine. No, no injuries."

"Pleasure. You are welcome to come inside and freshen up but I'm not in the position to entertain right now, as you can imagine."

"Then we will be on our way." Jude adds with a diplomatic smile, elbowing me in the side. It's all for show, he like me had no intention of being on our way any time soon, but he was right....I need to come across as
