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

Chapter 189

Chapter 0190 Kala POV

It is half way through the banquet and I have been introduced to mostly everyone, apparently a new alpha was still expected this evening but hadn't turned up ye

I remembered a few names from the list Aubrey talked me through but there were a lot of Alphas and Lunas to remember. Some spoke as if I had already met them, their eyes turning sympathetic when I would then say I had amnesia and couldn't remember anything before my accident.

"I need to have a private word with Jude in his office." Hector whispers into my ear before he places a gentle kiss upon my neck.

Bastard, he knows I don't want to make a scene....his kiss landing completely on my mate mark. An elderly Luna even makes a noise thinking his interaction with me as adorable. I turn sarcastically sweetly smiling

Something inside of me changes..

Maybe I was being unreasonable, maybe I needed to look at it on Hector's point of view. If our roles were reversed, would I be as protective and possessive of him...maybe. But I would let him make his own decistons still.

My head was starting to ache from trying to remember all these new faces and names, and I also didn't need a chaperone.

"There's a bench over there. I'm going to sit on it and enjoy the view overlooking the pack grounds. You will see my back the entire time.. "Luna..I must insist.."

"And so must I Beta Edmund. Not as a Luna but as an Alpha in my own right." I don't wait for his refusal, I pick up a fresh glass of champagne from the bar area before walking over to the bench and sitting myself down.
