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

Chapter 0361

- Josie -

"Mate, he is our mate." My wolf repeats in my mind, as if there was never any doubt. As if I should have known this all along.

But I didn't even know I had a wolf, let alone possible for me to also have a mate.

"Mate?" My lips form the words just as Knox moves towards me, his hands gripping at my waist.

"Mine." The words that form on his lips seem to leave an echo in my ears.

Now everything makes sense... Why I was drawn to him, why his lips were the only ones I ever wanted to kiss me, why having already met him at 16, no other male could compare. Even though I didn't know who he was, where he was...that bond had already been found. Already had snapped into place, we just didn't know it. I had been waiting for him all along.

His hands climb up from my waist, his fingers feeling the contours of my body before they grip at the fabric of my dressing gown at my chest. With his hands tightly gathering around the soft fabric, he pulls me into him, his lips crashing into mine. Everything and everybody around us fades away.

He was my mate. He was mine...destined for me and me alone.

It's like an eruption of the senses, an euphoric episode that just keeps rippling and rippling through my body. Something I would imagine only possible between the stars.

As his lips pull away from mine, I am left with a need for more...for the kiss not to end.
