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

-Jace-

"You all need to go back into your homes. I'm setting a curfew until tomorrow at 10am. My

warriors will patrol the grounds tonight. There will be no training at dawn, nothing

until I say so.

Anybody...and I mean anynbody caught out will be imprisoned ...do I make myself clear?" I open

the pack link, pushing upon that newly created bond.

Pushing through each and every mind that belongs to the Amber Desert pack.

I've accepted the role as Alpha, I've accepted the pack bond...but that doesn't mean I trust them yet.

What I had just done is unprecedented in my generation, I need time to think on my next step. To take stock not only of what has just happened, but what I've just taken on.

Cleo could be right, they could be innocent...but until I see that for myself...my warriors remain on patrol.

"Yes Alpha!" Voices respond in unison, before they start to disperse back to their homes.

I turn to the group of warriors that had been holding back, waiting for Than's command to

attack.

These men were different, they were something else. I could sense their lethalness in their demeanours...something that intrigues me.

They hold themselves differently to standard warriors, yes...they were trained for the deadliest of operations. They may just come on handy.

"Do I have your allegiance or do I need to disband you?" I let my alpha aura roll off me and wash onto them. Reminding them of who exactly is in charge here.

The male, at the forefront of the small group turns to look at his comrades, all nodding in unison

before he turns back to me, tilting his head in submission.
