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

Chapter 0294

- Knox ~

If I sleep any longer, I think I will go mad. I'm not a sleeper, I'm not a rest person...there's always been too much at stake to take my eye off the ball. Plus, I get bored if I'm not moving, if I'm not thinking. I'm a strong werewolf, I was created to move, it's in my DNA.

So having spent the last few hours staring outside the bedroom window...I was done. I needed to get out of the room before I throw something at the window.

As I head downstairs, my steps are a little slower than usual. But, shit, Red has done a good job.

I can feel a dull ache and itching of the skin as it heals over, a sign that it has almost completely healed.

To think not even 12 hours ago I was losing blood, my rib cage on display. I don't know how she has done it, not even with the assistance of hospital staff or hospital equipment...but all by herself with a few bandages. Reaching the lower level, I move towards the main living room to find Red's dog, Lobo, sitting at the window watching outside. If I hadn't spent the entire morning doing the same, I would reprimand him for his laziness.

He doesn't react to my presence until another walks in behind me, a low growl suddenly aimed in our direction.
