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

Records that Doctor Sophia must have shared from the Red Thorn pack.

I hold my breath in anticipation as the nurse places cold jelly upon my stomach, the sharp coldness sending my body into full alert state. My wolf was still with me, her energy still zapped, but she was able to talk to me now...I could feel her pressing beneath the surface, wanting to watch for herself.

This was her moment too, and Jace's wolf. They were both part of us, a part of this.

I catch my reflection in the window, my eyes were a bright fluorescent turquoise blue, a sign of my wolf being forward with me.

She was a luna wolf now, her strength has increased since being marked by Jace. I can feel it even though the baby takes a lot of our energy still. I'm looking forward to experiencing her full strength once our baby is safely in my arms.

Jace's hand strokes the side of my face, as he pulls my lips towards his. Complete unconditional love hitting me through the mate bond.

"Here we go..." The Doctor smiles out as he places the ultrasound probe upon my stomach.

"Let me know if I hurt you Luna." He clears his throat as he presses down on my stomach, Jace

button on before I hear it..a heart beat.

My entire body freezes as our baby appears on the screen, bobbing around safely inside of my
