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

Chapter 0503

"If that is what is worrying you, then don't let it." "I didn't know that."

"It's not common knowledge, he doesn't like to talk about it. Not because he is ashamed of it, he just doesn't think it stops him being any less of the strong alpha that he is. And he's right, it doesn't."

Dad was right, this doesn't change how I see Hector, how powerful he is. How the shifter community would see him if they knew.

I don't miss the way Dad's eyes move back to the hole in the wall, before they return to me...questionably.

"We can keep the pregnancy hushed if that is what you want but you have nothing to be ashamed of darling, we love you no matter what, and we will love and protect this baby as one of us." Mum adds, her hands moving to my shoulders where she places a kiss on the side of my cheek.

"No matter what." My voice is barely a whisper, if only my child being half human was the issue. If only it were that simple. But when they learn the truth, that I have been lying all along... will they be this supportive. "No matter what."

"Thanks Mum, thanks Dad." "Any time."
