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

Chapter 0533

Something, for security purposes, I wanted to address as soon as possible.

"Think about it. I have a penthouse at the beach club with your name all over it." I pull Auntie Alora in for a hug, placing a kiss on top of her head. She had given up so much for Mum, it was time she did something for her. But she would always have a place in my pack, if that is what she truly wanted.

We both head back towards the alpha house to find my parents, Josie, Knox and Lobo already inside..Jaxon's car pulling up just as I walk inside the house.

"You're early." I lean in to kiss Mum, a disapproving moan escaping me.

"She wanted to see what you have done with the place." Josie smirks out as she pats me on the back, Lobo already growling at me as per usual.

I swear this dog only likes Dad because he fed it and Knox...because he has to.

"We the first to arrive?" Jaxon walks through the front door, his eyes searching the faces of his own family. That he arrived with.

"That's because you are all far too early. Talk about host pressure."

"We wanted a swim..." Josie winks out as she picks up her bag and heads up stairs.

It may be a steel fortress but the Clear Waters did she offer the best swimming lagoons for miles.
