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

Chapter 607

"Can you handle this?" I place a pistol gun out to him, offering it out for him to use.

"Yes Alpha." He takes it, examining the piece before removing the barrell and checking the number of bullets it was loaded with.

I can see him make a mental note, he had 6 clean kills if he used it correctly.

We move out, approaching the tallest peak from a number of angles as we split up into three small teams. Jaxon leading one team of the Dark Phantom warriors, while I led one without Ozborne. He took charge of the third group.

Pushing through my aching thighs I find my sub team is the first to reach the top, a sign of a small settlement in the near distance.
