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

Chapter 0164 Chapter 0164

Hector POV

The leaving party for Edmund was already in full swing, Jude was here, staying the night before driving Edmund back tomorrow morning. He didn't need to be here, but I know he is keen to see how Kala has been getting on.

Kaia had been ignoring me by helping Aubrey set up the food and drink for the evening all afternoon. For once I didn't seek her out, I had things to research.

I had spent the entire afternoon researching more on the tales of the white wolf, discovering a similar folk law that seemed to provide more information.

I didn't want to overthink what had happened at training, but it was hard not to.

"You should dance with her." Jude suggests as I watch Kaia from a short distance. She looked sensational in a metallic silver dress that had a low back and a short hem.

"I will, she's happy mingling right now." I groan back at him as I watch her dance in the short dress.

"If you don't ask her to dance, someone else will."

"Who?"

"Him." Jude points the top of his beer bottle to one of my warriors that was currently talking to Kaia. His arms were crossed over his chest, showcasing his vast biceps under his tight T-shirt but I wasn't jealous, I knew it was innocently just a pack member talking to his Luna.

"Cut it out, he's just talking to his Luna. They all know she is my mate, they wouldn't..." I stop as his hand goes to her shoulder as he reaches behind her to pass her a glass of wine from the bar area.

A growl resonates within me, maybe I was slightly jealous after all. These were my people...they wouldn't...

"Fuck, he's got balls asking his Luna to dance..." Jude roars with laughter and I want to jab the prick. He was really enjoying this.
