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

- Cleo -

We were back at the Amber Desert pack now. Callie and Colt had both returned with us as we try to help Callie navigate around her missing mate.

Both Jace and I were non stop searching for clues on where Gwen could be, but except for sharing amongst the alliance packs a few pictures on Callie's phone... we didn't have a lot to go on.

It was like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Each day that passes we are at risk of losing Callie that little bit more.

She was spiralling, the guilt eating away at her. All this time she had left the Spear Thistle pack to give her mate a chance at a life without her, only to find out that her mate has been missing all this time.

Having been forced to reject her, she can't even feel the bond...she doesn't even know if she is alive.

I can see the guilt on her face, the pain eroding at her from the inside.

We needed leads and fast.

On top of this, Jace when not performing alpha duties, was also helping Jaxon in trying to find information on his mate.

Trying to find any information on the band of rogues that had been based in the mountains but had moved.

Was Medea with them, was his mate still part of that group...was she safe.
