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

The more it continues the bloodier it gets. Thick blood sprays across the courtyard ground, the smell of it churning my insides...just the thought of Jace bleeding is sending me into a frantic state of panic...one that I refuse to sink into.

I had to remain strong, I had to mask any emotion. I couldn't afford for Jace to be distracted, for him to lose concentration even for a split second...because Than would use that against him.

They both fight as Alphas, both strong...but Than was starting to show signs of strain, of struggling to continue at this pace.

I guess time and energy catches up with age.

Punch, scrape, kick... bruises were already developing upon both of their visible skin. The silence around us was defeaneing, even the invasion of warriors has paused, the Amber Desert pack members taking a moment to recuperate, to count their dead...

The entire world felt as if it had stopped spinning, as figures continue to gather. To watch the fate of their own pack...of who will come out of this as their leader.

"Come on Than." Medea growls out in frustration as Jace holds him by the throat, his body gripping him against the hard cold gravel courtyard ground.

Than groans out in pain as Jace drags him, the uneven ground cutting into Than's back.

She's losing her patience, her own future on the verge of being destroyed. She was about to lose her luna-ship, about to lose her lands.

Pure anger registers upon her face as Than tabs out of Jace's hold...surrendering under the younger alphas hold.

"Do you surrender?" Jace pushes him away from him...panting out himself.
