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

Chapter 0481

I'm angry at his words, a fire forming in the pit of my stomach at his threat.

I know he will tell him, it's only a matter of time. I need to make my own threat, to bide me some time.

"If you tell him, I will leave. You will never see me again, nobody will. He has a mate, I won't destroy them, I won't destroy our families with one mistake." My wolf comes forward slightly, with the energy she can muster...making sure he knows I mean every word of this. That I will follow it through if he betrays my trust.

"His child is the heir to the Clear Waters pack." No, my child stays with me. Already, before it was even born, a title was already being discussed. This child is a Red Thorn pack member, not Clear Waters...not Dark Phantom.

"Jaxon, read my lips. If you tell him, I will leave...I will go so far away that no body will ever see me or my child again." I make my words clear and calm, I mean every single word.

"I know he has hurt you, he's hurt us all." He cups my face again, his thumbs wiping away the tears that trickle down my face.

A desperate plea within his voice for me to change my mind. For me to tell Jace the truth.

But he'll run again, and I can't spend my life waiting. He has a mate now, he will pick her...he should pick her. I can't live a half life hoping he will pick me one day. The mate bond is strong, undeniable.
