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

Kala POV

Can I stay and watch them build a happy life together, or does she leave...

Do I once again take her away from Father, a Father that was deprived from seeing her grow up....she,

stolen from Father's love.

I lived alone once, I can do it again.

I can even start my own pack... Father has founded lands and I have negotiated myself to keep them. Why can I not do the same alone.

No, Hector will take her back to his pack. But even then...do I spend my life remaining in the shadows of their mate bond, in her shadows.

Disappointment again and again, rejection...she feels it more than me at times.

My blurry eyes manage to refocus back on the doctor who is retracting liquid from a vial with a syringe, before injecting it into the IV solution bag. "A sedative?" I shake my head trying to bring myself back.

"Yes, not much mind. It's morphine laced with wolfsbane. This is the quickest way to get it into his system. He'll be drowsy as he comes to, he may even slur...try to encourage him to rest as much as you

can.

"Doctor!" A nurse frantically pokes her head into the door calling for the doctor.
