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

Chapter 0523

-Jace-

I let the icy cold stream of water wake me back to my senses.

With the smell of alcohol being washed out of my pores I feel fully awake again.

I would leave immediately, with Callie and head on to the Clear Waters pack. She will need to spend time getting to know the pack, getting used to the grounds and what I imagine is now fortress of steel borders.

Mum indicated that she had no choice but to implement tougher visible borders since the attack by the White Moon pack, which does contradict the culture of the Clear Waters pack.

Once I take on the pack, take full control of the safety, I will do what is needed to ensure not only the safety, but the pack thrives as I take it into its new alpha-ship.

Shutting the water off, I step out of the shower, wrapping a towel around my waist as I glance at myself in the bathroom mirror.

My wolf finally seemed to understand what was at stake, he wasn't fighting me for once. Whether he was pissed at me for the wolfsbane or licking his wounds from the excessive alcohol... but I was keen to hit the road before he came too. I didn't have a lot to pack, most of my things were now at the beach club hotel which I can have sent to the Clear Waters pack in a couple of days' time.

I hadn't been here in this house for a year, most of the things in my bedroom I no longer need.
