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

Chapter 0317

The moon, she blessed our gathering with a strong ethereal shine that naturally put everybody in a good mood.

I was dressed in a full length burgundy one shoulder gown that had a gold disc embellished on one hip with an opened circle...revealing a flash of my hip bone.

Yes I knew what I was doing. There were plenty of alphas and betas here tonight, I knew it would drive Knox wild with jealousy to see other eyes on me. Maybe I was playing with fire, but this bitch was a fiery goddess herself...I control the fire.

I could feel his eyes roaming over me, as he mingled with the other guests. He was quite the networker, I had heard a few conversations amongst the alphas of Kit Knoxbridge's training program, and how he kept himself away from pack environments, so why was he here. He seemed to be the main topic of conversation this evening.

"May I?"

"Of course." I accept Ezra's hand as music starts to play and guests join the small dance floor.

Resting my head on Ezra's shoulder, my eyes search the crowd as other alphas watch me...but his eyes the only ones I lock on to. He looked divine tonight, a navy blue suit and a metallic silver tie that gleamed with the moon's glow.

Ezra spins me, my eyes continue to hold Knox's... Ezra's eyes
