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

I'm an Alpha trainer, not a dog whisperer.

"Where is Josie?" Hector demands of his eldest born, Jaxon.

"I don't know, still at the hospital."

"She better not be, I told her to be back by now." His thick aura is unleashed upon the room. His usually controlled demeanour slipping. Figures that the female child would stress him out more than the males. And with Jace's disappearance and Jaxon's underlying issue... that really is saying something.

"Hector!" Kaia reaches for his arm to calm him as she follows him towards the front door.

"She hasn't slept." He roars as he storms out through the front door, all of us taking a breath as he leaves. I hadn't even realised I was holding on to it.

"No, still nothing. What did he say?" Her eyes turn to Jaxon, a pointed look aimed at him.
