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

Chapter 602

- Cleo -

"We arent looking for trouble Dad. I just don't feel comfortable letting Callie go alone. If Jace

was here, he would go with her.

They won't do anything with another pack's luna around. Besides, Ares is coming with us." Dad blocks the very vehicle that Callie and I both plan to take. Callie herself wasn't keen for me to come but I didn't trust her parents, her mother especially.

"You aren't going end of." Dad bluntly declares, as if I was still a little girl seeking his permission.

"Dad, this isn't up for discussion." I roll my eyes, my arms crossing in front of me as I prepare to wait him out.

"Then I'm coming with you." He grunts out, finally moving to open the car door for

me.

"What about Mum, you can't leave her alone."

"Ares will stay and remain with her. If it is only a fleeting visit like you say it is, she can cope

without me for a few hours. They won't try anything with an alpha with you."

"I appreciate your offer Alpha Arancea but it really is unnecessary. As I have told Cleo repeatedly, I can go alone." Callie sighs out, standing to the side of us.

"I don't want you to go by yourself." I can't just remain here, not when I know her parent's are up to no good.

She hasn't said so, but I think a part of her is hoping they have changed their minds. That they are going to welcome her back. That they've seen the error in their ways and want to make amends...I'm not so sure.
