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

Chapter 0532

-Jace ~

The way I remembered the Clear Waters pack was a distant memory.

The softness, the tranquillity of the landscape...everything that made it what it was...is now steel, metal..a cold harshness.

The brutality in contrast to how I remember it was a wake up call to how long I had been away. I had been gone, what shy of a year...look how much has happened in that year. Mum said steel borders, I imagined steel borders...but to actually see them was something else.

Not only that, warriors of the Dark Phantom pack had infiltrated the pack here...turning the clear waters warriors into something else.

I get it, Dad needed to send them to protect the borders but if the Dark Phantom was considered night...then the Clear Waters was always knowns as being the light to its darkness.

It had been a week since Callie and I left the Dark Phantom pack.

A week of Callie getting used to her new pack, and taking the time to get to know the pack members.

Today the family descended, everyone...and I mean everyone was coming. Even the Arancea's...apparently my family cannot do anything without them.

But them coming serves a purpose once and for all.

Today, I would announce the date Callie would be made a pack member and the Luna through me marking her.
