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

Chapter 0223

Hector POV

As Orpheus and Than arrived together, and it looked like Orpheus would now be staying for a while, I leant Than a pack vehicle, he needed to be gone.

I needed more information, more information than Jude's research books could give me. If Kaia keeps insisting on putting herself in danger, I need facts to give her the wake up call she needs.

A risk I wasn't willing to wait for. I needed to act and act now.

Is that what he thinks he was doing, keeping his mate safe by killing her....

Kaia needed to rest, a long car journey was the last thing she needed but I wanted to hit the road as soon as possible.

This contact might change her mind tomorrow, it was only by Jude's negotiation skills that she agreed to see us today.
