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

- Jace -

Colt acts quickly, rolling Knox's wolf off him, remaining in human form as he crouches on the floor preparing for the next attack.

Colt was always fast, but he still hasn't defeated me at sparring, and it would be unlikely he would beat Knox who had a new pack bond pumping through his veins as the alpha.

Knox doesn't wait, he's on him again, his teeth this time biting into the side of Colt's flank. Blood squirting out, even up onto the large rock bolder.

A groan of pain escapes my friend as he jabs Knox's wolf in the eye, inflicting enough harm just long enough to remove his teeth from his sides.

"Knox!" I growl out, just as Knox moves again to take down Colt, only for another wolf to jump into the fray...Josie's red wolf.

"Josie, stop him!" I roar out as Colt's grips onto his side, blood oozing out of him... he wasn't an alpha wolf, this damage was life threatening.

"Who is he?" Shifting back into human form, Josie urgently screams out above the noise of Knox's growling wolf, trying to get past his mate to attack again.

“He's a friend, stop him." I slam my eyes shut, this was already a nightmare situation, I didn't need to see my sister naked.

"Knox....stop!" She steps in the way, blocking Colt further with her body. Her eyes glaring at her mate.

Knox's wolf listens to her mate, shifting back into human form, where I rush to Colt's side. Clutching at his open wound, his ribcage exposed as his skin flabs open in my hands. This needs stabling...fast.

"Josie." She needs to fix this, and now.

Knox commands out behind me, his aura only adding to the frantic moment...my own
