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

Chapter 0499

"No, I have no mate." For once, the truth.

"I see."

"No you don't actually...the father is a human."

A moment is shared between us where he is considering me, and I him.

He seems to be contemplating something, his eyes pulling away first as he exhales loudly, casting his eyes back over the patrons.

He was a difficult male to read, to figure out. Each movement, each word of his is premeditated, pre-planned. Why was he worried about speaking out of term?

"I'm looking for a luna and an heir. My pack's future relies on me providing them we an heir."

"But the child wouldn't be yours, the heir would be half human."

"That doesn't matter to me."

"It doesn't matter that the child not only won't be yours, but would be half human?" I need to hear him say it again, because he was an alpha male and I'm struggling to think he would adopt not only a child that wasn't a pack member, but a child that was half human...or so I have to make him believe.

"I don't think you understand the severity of my situation. I have no heir, my father is already dead...I would like my mother to see the pack is secure before she dies." His tone is more clipped this time.

"Your mother is sick?" I ask, thinking maybe he was up against time.

"No, just growing old."
