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

Chapter 0167

Hector POV

All night I thought of Kala's eyes watching me as I lick from her Inner ankle up to her upper thigh. Her big eyes watching my every move as I smelled arousal oozing out of her, I wanted to taste her at that very moment...until we were interrupted.

I had remained aroused all night and struggled to sleep, wanting to knock down her door and finally claim her as mine. But I couldn't, I know I couldn't... she deserved more.

She

needed more time, I won't be that arsehole that forces the bond on her...I won't be him.

It was better I wasn't on the same floor as her, so I came down early to go through things in my office. All of the research I had read so far refers to the white wolf as being a mythical being, something from the fairy tales except for something in an old language that was spoken by our ancestors. Something I can't particularly read well, but from what I can make out it mentions the white wolf belonging to the original shifters and was formed to protect the werewolf race from extinction.

It doesn't mention anything about special abilities to immobilise other wolves...maybe that was a fluke, maybe it was the mate bond that was trying to control me from attacking my

own mate.

Perhaps I shouldn't be reading into this more than a fairy tale and she just happens to be of white fur

colour.

Maybe there was nothing more to it....

Ezra has been updating me daily regarding things at the Nightshade Reformed pack and I was on the cusp of sending more warriors, sounds like the Shadow Rock pack is really pushing on their borders.

I have put a contingency plan in place with Ezra, that no matter what, he gets Alora out even if it is to the detriment of the pack.

Kala can't lose her Sister, I won't let that happen. Alora may think she is in charge, that she is the acting Alpha...and for performance purposes she is...but make no mistake how much more in control of things I am than she knows.

The Amber Desert warriors have been pushed back by my own, and I will keep pushing them until they get

the message.

that she has been using it. She can't even remember her laptop log in details and each time I offer for my IT experts to look into it, she just waves her hands unbothered. She didn't seem ready to revisit her past just yet. But the past has a way of coming back to us all. Ready
