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

Chapter 604

- Cleo -

I follow Callie into the alpha house, the internal design reminding me of the alpha house back at the Amber Desert pack.

A lot of dark colours, riches on display to remind pack members of the hierarchy and where they belong in it.

Perhaps Medea and Louise had a lot in common.

"We didn't expect quite so many guests..." Luna Louise's snootiness is clear especially as her eyes cast upon Colt.

"Just keeping Callie company Luna, it was a long drive...one we didn't want her to take alone." Colt responds, surprising me as he removes his hat and bows his head slightly to the alpha and luna, trying to soothe any rising tension at his presence.

Perhaps it was good that he was here instead of Jace. In surprised knowing what I know now...that Jace even let them near his family.

You couldn't smell that he was a rogue but there is something different about Colt. Maybe it's the fact that he has never had the opportunity to integrate into pack life, or maybe it's just his care-free drifter character....but he was aware enough of pack politics to remain polite to an alpha and luna.

So somewhere among the way he has gained an understanding of pack life.

"I'll have the house maid prepare refreshments." Luna Louise offers out but I'm keen to not remain too long.

"That's not necessary, please don't go to any bother." I too sweetly smile out. There is also not a chance in hell that I would trust any drink this woman would make me, or those that she gets to command.
