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

Chapter 0233

Hector POV

My fingers slip through her white fur as she blurs past me.

I'm fighting three fighters off me that seem to be on some kind of steroids, on top of being the strongest warriors I have ever fought.

She has just done the one thing I asked her not to do...she has just shifted.

As soon as she has taken the male out that was all over Alora, another runs up behind her. I try to shout to her but one of the warriors reaches for my throat, cutting off my voice and I can't mind-link her.

I'm fighting this fight as well as watching my mate in my peripheral vision. My adrenaline is pumping through me at a colossal rate, I need to get to her...to stay by her side.

She has shifted now...she has just given them what they needed to step things up a gear. She has just shown them her true identity.

"Ezra.."

"Alpha?" Ezra responds to my mind-link but I have to cut it when the male holding my throat loosens his grip and becomes entranced by something.

I turn to find that all of the fighters have entered a pack wide mind-link...their eyes a silvery white...the colour of the moon.

Not wasting any time, their mind-link gives me an

opening to take him out. I take out the other two with a single hand, not messing around...I needed to get to my mate.

I start running, then hell descends once more upon these lands.

They are coming again...thick and fast...but this time all heading into the same direction...all heading to Kaia.
