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

Kaia POV

"How do you plead?"

"How do I plead?"

"No comment, say no comment." Alora's voice rams into my mind like a high speed truck.

"She either takes it or you leave." The council member points an aggressive finger at Alora who has just mind-linked me.

"She's not taking shit and we not leaving." Hector slams his fist against the table in front of him.

"Then you force my hand..."

"Fine, I'll take it." "No.."

I don't wait, to me it can't be as bad as the one Samson gave me, that knocked me out fully. Yes I was tired, yes I was starting to experience pains in my lower stomach from exhaustion but I still had a hell of a lot more to give. "What did you just do!" His growl resonates around the room, as I knock back the tonic water they are given me.

It definitely isn't a sedative, I can't feel tiredness overwhelm me but I do start to feel my wolf slowly slip away. It's like a curtain is separating us, that curtain slowly closing. She's not angry at me, she agrees it was the right decision to make. Besides I can't tell them anything I don't know, that I don't remember.

"Good. Now how do you plead?" The ring leader seems satisfied with my conforming to his requests.

"I have amnesia, I can't remember anything past the moment I woke up in hospital. What I would like to know is why you have my medical records. Under what authority do you have those in front of you?"

"You are part of the alliance are you not?" "No, I am not."
