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

I'll be that axe that cuts his head off.

I lay Red gently down on the bed, my disbelief at her current state, of not even knowing what had happened.

"Did you touch what is mine?" My roar vibrates the windows around us. My feet not as heavy now as I walk towards him. "She needs you, Knox, stop." Luna Rosa steps in front of me, blocking me from him. I was going to rip him to shreds.

He thought he could touch her, force himself upon her.

"He...he tried..." I can't even utter the words.

"I know." She growls out at me, her hands clenching into fists down by her side.

"...did he?"

"No, I pulled him off." Doctor Abel's words answer me.

"Get him out of here before I kill him myself!" Luna Rosa orders at Jaxon, who pulls him up by the scruff of his neck and leaves. But not before casting a concerned look to his sister.

"I'll be back, once I throw this piece of shit in jail." He growls out.

"If he makes it that long." His chest rumbles threateningly.
