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

Chapter 0225

Hector POV

"I'll take it..." Kaia tries to snatch the cup from my hand but I place it high, out of her reach.

"You've only just got poison out of your system. You think I can stand by and let you drink this."

"Oh because it's easy for me." She retorts back at me.

"She can sense my wolf is ready to bring this hut down into splinters. Just keep her talking." I whisper into her ear, with her wolf this female wont hear my words only meant for Kaia. "Hector.." Fear for me pushes through the mate bond... the incomplete mate bond.

"Trust me my love, do you trust me?"

"Yes. Of course I do." She sighs out, rolling her eyes at me.

I place the cup to my mouth, my lips already burning from the liquid I was about to consume...willingly.

Fuck me.

I swallow it on one go.

There's no point stringing this out. The liquid burns at my mouth, at the back of my throat, down through into my stomach.

I can feel its journey as it burns like I've swallowed the fire itself.

It takes my breath away and my hands involuntarily go to my throat, my wolf trying to claw at the pain.

It works immediately, my wolf starts to recede into the darkest depths of my mind... his unsatisfactory growl becoming quieter and quieter the more he is pushed away. Until silence. "Hector?" Kaia's hand touches my arm as I try to shake the feeling of dread out of my system.

"I'm fine."
