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. Jude's contact might be the only one who can give us that information. Samson might be dead but I didn't know what Alpha Marc might know.

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

There were too many missing pieces, things that didn't make sense. Beckett was cold, brutal...but was he capable of killing his own mate? For sinning against the moon goddess even more so by killing his pack?

He dared to warn me, asked if I was her true mate...that he knew what it takes to keep the white wolf safe.

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.
