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

This pack was the most guarded I think I have ever been to. There isn't a safety measure Alpha Hector and Alpha Kaia haven't thought of and there's not much I can comment on. So why am I really here...

I was waiting for Alpha Hector and his Beta Riley, to finish their evening report. Jaxon and Jace must have put a good word in for me, I've been to packs to assess their security before but never had an all access pass like I do at the Dark Phantom pack. Sitting back, my eyes cast around the impressive office of the alphas...two desks sit side by side. There couldn't be a werewolf alive today that wouldn't be in awe of their power, both jointly and individually.

I grew up hearing stories of the Dark Phantom pack, tales that would leave most children with nightmares. But the truth is very different, the inside of the pack gives a much different feel to the reputation that is projected outwards.
