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

Chapter 0415

- Josie -

"Jace!" I scream out, trying to push on the mind-link between us again but he continues

to block me out.

I take a step closer to him, to bridge the large distance between us, but he roars out at

me. A warning not to come any closer.

My wolf pushes forward in a defensive move, she would be ready if he really lost control. Not that he would, he wasn't Jaxon.

Yet, I can't escape witnessing that something was changing him...before my very eyes and I wouldn't stop until I found out what.

"Jace." I call out to him again, a plea in my tone. If he would just talk to me, trust me to make things better. Give me a chance to help him...

He shakes his head at me, it is clear even from this distance, he needs to be alone right now and I know better than to push it tonight.

Hopefully he'll be calmer tomorrow, hopefully with the alcohol no longer in his system he will be able to think clearer.

Anger was always Jaxon's thing, not Jace's....also not mine but he was making me so cross right now. So angry at the way he had treated Cleo just now.
