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

Chapter 0549 Why not just leave.

"Yes I could have." He holds my glare with a challenging manner.

"I can't believe this."

"Don't think that your Father, that Hector hasn't done similar things...they just dress it different. As an alpha you do what you must to protect your pack."

No, I'm not buying that. My father and Hector might do things but nothing like this...they would kill rather than inflict this kind of pain upon somebody. No matter who or what they've done. Sometimes death was the mercy...something that Than knew would have been an easy option for Freya.

So instead he has kept her in this imprisoned mental state....which is why she was so desperate to leave me this morning. She had started talking about Kaia...about Alora.

"She has a mate bond with your own beta, you do realise that it is affecting him too. That you weaken him too."

"If my beta chooses to keep the mate bond then that is on him. He's had plenty of chances to reject it, that's not on me...I don't give much thought anymore to the mate bond..."

"Only because yours didn't work out for you."

"Careful." He warns me, his body slightly lifting up off his office chair. I don't stop, he doesn't scare me. "But you can't punish others for what has happened to you. The mate bond is there for a reason, you have to..."

"You are right Cleo, the mate bond doesn't work for everyone...for some it tricks...it kills." He interrupts, his voice cold.
