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

Chapter 0232

Kaia POV

A high pitched noise sounds from the wall of fighters, some kind of signal before they start chanting battle cries to one another.

Or to us...to intimidate us.

It was working, I look to my people...they were tired, they had fought enough for two lifetimes. They just wanted peace, they just want to live.

But surrender isn't an option, not if they want to protect their families, their friends.

I let my Alpha aura wash over the pack-link, not a threat to fight but a plea to have hope, to have faith in me. Yes we won't all survive this, but as long as we can protect what the pack stands for....then

up, we are losing too many...I can't deal with the pain

eyes flicker to Alora as she shifts into her grey wolf, her wolf taking control. As soon as she shifts, two fighters come at her

into her ribs. I don't know if it is the pack bond or the twin bond, but I feel her pain radiate through me. No, we haven't come this far, I haven't gone through
