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

I hadn't seen him since turning eighteen years old, I wouldn't have recognised the mate bond without not seeing him.

Just like I wouldn't have done if my mate was a stranger to me.

It wasn't about not being worthy of him, it was just not thinking I was that lucky in life.

in pain.

"Excuse me?"

"My mate is back at my parent's pack, I was forced to abandon her in order for her to remain alive."

"Her?"

"When I say Jace and I aren't sexual, I mean it."

"I don't understand."

"What has Jace told you."

"Honestly nothing, he's even blocked any conversations between the two of you out of the mate bond. Whatever he is shielding, it's to protect you."
