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

Chapter 0262

""What's with the monster dog?"

"He has a gift for sniffing out bullshit."

"Listen.." He sighs out as he lowers his hands to his side.

"No, you listen Jaxon. You've not even been back for a full day yet and already you are trying to undermine my hard work of the past year." He might be the future alpha of this pack but he was my brother, I could still talk to him how I wanted. No title would stop that. "I'm not trying to undermine you, I'm just trying to keep the pack at its safest, you at your safest."

"I don't need your help and what's with your friend. Bringing the professor home from college for extra points?" "Ha.." He starts to chuckle at my snarky reply, that triplet bond between us has never helped me in keeping secrets.

"Knox, why..got the hots for him?" He crosses arms in front of his chest, taking no notice of Lobo now barking at him. "Don't be ridiculus. I just don't appreciate being caught out in a family meeting..when a non family member is there."

"Okay, I get it...I fucked up. He's here to help me out, but he won't be here for long."

He takes a step closer to me, Lobo continuing to bark by my feet. What a good dog I have. He'll happily bite anybody that comes for me.
