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

Chapter 0394

- Josie -

"Woah, Josie what did you do?" Jace spots both Knox and I, and heads towards us, with that teasing glint in his eye.

"Nothing...why?" My eyes are locked on the front door, intrigue overwhelming me as I want to go inside and put an ear to the office door. It would be pointless, the alpha office is sound proof.

"You fled the Clear Waters pack, the house keeper of said pack is here the next day...just looks a bit suss." He casually shrugs but I know he's dying for information.

"Being the future alpha, shouldn't you be in that meeting?" Knox's voice isn't cold, but there is a bite laced within it....a defiant warning to back off.

Knox's hand even grips tightly on to my hip as he calls Jace out. He had a point, and judging by the way Jace's smile drops, he knows it too. "Jaxon's looking for you." Jace grunts out like a child that can no longer play with his toys.

"Really?"

"Yes, he's at the training grounds.." Jace quirks an eyebrow at Knox, a smirk forming back on those lips.

With a sigh, Knox places a kiss upon the top of my head before tapping my butt discreetly. He then walks away into the direction of the training grounds.

I move towards the house, only for Jace to take grip of my arm and hold me back.

"I think whatever they are discussing, you shouldn't be in there. So what really happened?"
