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.

"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.
