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

"You've blocked the memories of her." I seethe out, what was he hiding. He looks into my eyes puzzled until I see realisation dawn upon his face. Whatever it is, it's enough for him to hit the side of his head.

"Shit, yes...but not for the reason you think. It's not my story to tell. Cleo, you are my life, nobody

will ever come between us."

I could feel the pull of the mate bond, feel its need for us to be as one. Feel it

trying to thaw my frostiness.

"Is this you jealous..."

I very carefully bite down on my tongue that wants to argue back that he killed the male that wanted to make me his luna.

That he has been jealous too without understanding what agreement was in place. He acted out in anger, letting his emotions get the better of him.

But I don't, I know for a fact that will just escalate things further.

"I'm just struggling with why she is still here that's all. And don't tell me you wouldn't be feeling the

same."

"You're cute when jealous."

"Jace." This was serious. But he has a way of making me laugh, of me not being angry at him for too long.

I couldn't bear to remain angry at him, it just wasn't who we were. That wasn't us, even when I thought he had another; yes I was angry, I was upset, but I was willing to support him.
