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



- Josie -

"Stop fighting me Josie." Doctor Abel growls out as he carries me through a small wooded area that leads towards fields that run alongside thenoveldrama

borders. My mind was spiralling in trying to play catch up, in trying to understand what exactly was happening. My mate was fighting for his life whilst I was being forced to escape.

“We have to go back." I continue to fight within his hold. Kit...I needed to he with Kit.

The mate bond was still buzzing between the two of us, I could feel he was still alive. But for how much longer.

Desperation kicks in as I continue to fight against Doctor Abel's unwanted restraint until he places my feet firmly on the ground, his hands gripping onto my wrists to prevent me from running back towards the hospital.

"I could only save you."

"Only save me? What does that mean?"

"They promised they would let you live." He states as he starts dragging me further into the wooded area. What did he mean, who was he talking about.

Then I see them in the clearing onto the field...more hunters. Just waiting on the edge of the battle, waiting to be summoned.

"What have you done?" I gasp out, pulling my wrist out of his hold. No, surely not...he wouldn't betray the pack, betray my father. Whoever they were they didn't come for us as we came out of the clearing, which meant they were expecting us...or expecting him to

"We said the white wolf...not the daughter. The daughter is useless to us." A man centred at the front barks out to Doctor Abel, anger clear in his voice.

"What is this Abel?" I turn to my friend, wanting an explanation that meant he wasn't betraying us, that it was as bad as it looked.

"I was sent to infiltrate the pack, to get close to the alpha family..." He turns to me, his hands reaching out to grip my shoulders but I push his hands away.

"To my parents, to my Mum?

"The hunters, there are too many...we can keep you safe, let me keep you safe. Let the Whte Moon pack bring you home..." Abel was speaking the same language as me yet it was taking me longer for his words to sink in.

"Bring me home? I'm not a white wolf."

"Exactly." The man that seems to be the leader of the spare hunters growls out at me. My eyes narrowing in his direction.

Then I realise, they aren't dressed in black, they have no guns in their possessions. They weren't hunters, they were werewolves. This was the White Moon pack.

"I said I would only spare her if you captured the mother..."

"She has gifts of her own, she can heal...I've seen it for myself. She would be greatly valuable to us."

"No, Abel..." I gasp out, what has he done. What has he promised.

"It was the only way Josie, you need to come with me. The Dark Phantom pack will be destroyed by the time the sun rises...you need to accept your new fate."

"My new fate? I'd rather die here Abel than join the White Moon pack. How could you, I trusted you." "Enough! Take her." The male barks out his orders, males heading into my direction.

"Josie please, if you put up a fight they will hurt you."

"Who are you...tell me quickly." I demand to know as males gain distance on me, my wolf pushing forward in preparation to fight.

"I was born and raised in the White Moon pack. I was selected to be sent here...I had trained, I was ready to fulfil my orders, except I wasn't ready to meet you. I didn't plan on you Josie, come with me, we can make our own plans...I can keep you safe." He pulls me into him, his hands holding on to my hips. I don't understand he just saved me from a horrendous ordeal, just to sell me out at a time best suited to him. He was just another George.

"You're a fool if you think they will just let me be. I'm no safer in that pack with you than I am on the battle field with my family. I would rather be on that battlefield." I seethe out at him, my hand raising to slap him across the face. How could he...how could he betray those he swore to heal as a pack doctor.
