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

Chapter 0189

Kaia POV

What was he thinking...

I hear him call after me as I traipsed wet around Jude's house, leaving soggy footprints on his carpeted stairs, but I was too fuming to stop and dry my feet.

All I wanted to know is if I could remember to swim, and I wanted to do it privately. Beta Edmund had agreed but only if he waited with me for a while, which he did and was happy with my natural ability to swim.

I was feeling proud of myself until I was nearly drowned.

I need to insist on separate rooms. I don't want to be anywhere near him right now, let alone share a

bedroom.

"Look...I'm sorry." He offers as he pushes through the door. It's the only thing I hate about the mate bond from time to time, my body already trying to give into his charm, trying to change my mindset. I could feel my anger already trying to dissipate.

"It was an overreaction, I see that now." He takes a step towards me, closing the door behind him, making no attempt whatsoever to cover his naked body.

"An overreaction? You don't say..." I chide back as I firmly wrap the towel around me.

"I just panicked...saw your head down in the water....it brought back memories..."

"I get that but your level of protectiveness is sometimes overwhelming. I don't know if you were like that before, but I need you to back off at times."
