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

Chapter 0245

Hector POV

6 Months Later

Kaia's emotions have been all over the place of late and I know why...today is the day that she is shutting down the Nightshade Reformed pack and relocating all pack members to the Clear Waters pack lands.

The entire pack, starting anew.

Together we had made the decision that this would be the best option going forward. But not a decision we made lightly.

I have been on the council for the last 6 months and the neighbouring Alphas to the Nightshade Reformed packs are trying to call me out for corruption, trying to taint Kaia's successes. Claiming I was using my position on the council in her favour. It's not true, we found documents that Beckett had signed the ownership of the land over to Kaia...documents that she had signed before his operation.

But the council questioned the legality of the documents, wishing to investigate things further. Which is the last thing we wanted. So together, Kaia and I decided the best option would be to move the entire pack back into her childhood pack. The pack she does fully own...and nobody can ever dispute that.

Even though she is the Alpha of the Clear Waters pack...she has decided to give Alora the opportunity to lead the pack as the Beta. Give her the chance to get to know the pack she never did as a child.

No matter how much I have tried to discuss the topic with Kaia, she is determined to move in with me at the Dark Phantom pack, as my Luna.

Long term I am expecting us to make more changes but for now, it is important to get the pack members off the disputed land...and get them to the safety of the Clear Waters pack.

Lands that were never attacked by outsiders...and I think that is why Kaia has become so internally conflicted recently. She is agreeable to the move yet also is not willing to return to the lands herself...because of the truth she knows.

Even though I have ensured all the killed pack members have been given an appropriate burial and the buildings have been restored...certain memories are hard to move on from.

Heading upstairs, I find her talking to herself as she is packing her final bits before we leave. Her emotions through the bond where a mixture of sadness to be separating from Alora, concern that she was making the right choice...and happiness to be returning home with

me.

Wanting to ease her concerns, I wrap my arms around her as she folds clothes on the bed.
