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

Chapter 0192 Chapter 0192

Kala POV

A crowd forms, even though it is the middle of the night. Word has gotten around, plus they must feel my presence through the pack bond,

Even now, more pack members come out of their front doors to my return for themselves.

I wasn't prepared for what greeted me...

They are like the walking dead.

I can hear their whispers....

The Alpha has returned.

Will she accept us now, will she help us.

My heart breaks for them. I didn't once think me not accepting the alpha position would make them feel rejected, make them feel unwanted. It wasn't like that. I didn't even know who I was, where I was I just needed time.

Hector remains stuck by my side as I see her slowly arriving in the distance, down the gradient path..... flanked by a group of warriors. Warriors I couldn't feel through the pack link.

"Who are they?" I ask Hector.

"Warriors sent by the Amber Desert pack."

What, sent by his estranged brother's pack. This was my pack and I knew nothing of the real risk it was under or the latest addition of warriors.

"You knew?" I seethe through a false smile as pack members look at me expectantly.

Again...his silence speaks volumes.

As she walks towards us, down the path that leads to the alpha house. It's like there is an invisible strain upon her shoulders, something weighing her down...her eyes looking downcast she hasn't looked up at me at all. Yet I can see how tired she is, the dark circles under her eyes.

She Halts in front of Hector and myself, the Amber Desert warriors standing just behind her like body guards.

"Alphas this is a surprise.."
