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



~Josie~

Just a few seconds more...

My hands are painfully tight around his throat, my knuckles white from the strain.

His legs continue to kick out as my vice grip holds firm, taking the life from him.

I ignore the warnings from my wolf as she yells in my head to move, to prepare for the incoming charge of male wolves...but I was almost there.

I was almost there...

They lunge for me, ripping me away from him as a few shift back helping the monster to recover.

It happens all so fast; my hands are pinned behind my back as I am forced to remain knelt on the ground. A foot firmly presses against my lower back, threatening to crack my lower spine.

I was in the middle of a nightmare, a situation not even I knew how I was going to get out of.

Wolves snap their teeth near my face, as the White Moon warriors that shifted back into human form stand behind me, holding me before their alpha.

I glare at him, even as he grips my chin within his hold.

Pain shoots through me as that foot against my lower back presses further down, my back close to breaking, my arms being pulled back.

"Alpha...please..." Abel takes a nervous step forward towards his alpha, pleading in his tone.

I don't need him to beg for my life, I would never join them.

If they took me, I would spend every second of my life trying to break out of their clutches.

"Spare her...I will..." Abel continues to plead until he is forced to stop. The alpha's hand rising to demand silence.

"My instructions were clear, infiltrate the pack...get close to the white wolf..." The alpha roars at Abel, his eyes turning a spooky white as his pupils seem to be swallowed up by something else.

Was his wolf forward, is that why his eyes were an eery white.

I've never seen anything like it before, I couldn't look away...it was mesmerising just as much as it was freaky.

“I have, I did everything you asked of me. Please alpha, she will be of use to you."

"Enough!" The alpha roars back, making Abel take a step back before those eyes fall on me.noveldrama

"Oh...I have plans for you little one." His voice rumbles out at me, a sinister excited smirk forming

across his face.

My blood ran cold, his threat along with those eyes giving me a glimpse of what my future would be.

"I won't help you, no matter what you do to me." I seethe out, fighting against the hold I was locked in, the pain only getting more intense.

Those eyes continue to study me until a deep sigh leaves his chest.

"Sadly, I believe you... " He sneers at me before giving a clear command.

"Kill her." He orders out, stepping away from me.

"No." Abel shouts out as the pressure across my lower back deepens, my arms being ripped from my sockets.

I can hear Kit, hear him getting closer to me but I fear it is too late.

The wolves that were snapping near my head come for me, their razor-sharp teeth preparing to

kill me...only for Abel to knock the alpha to the ground.

The movement, unexpected, which buys Abel the time to move to the wolves. He was helping me, he was trying to fight back.

He grips one wolf by the throat, pushing it away before trying to reach the other.

But the wolf was already lunging for me.

The movement confuses the fighters; the hold of the male behind me slackens just enough for me to swing my dead arms forward.

I painfully push through the numbness which forces nausea to rise within me.

I place my arms in front of me, trying to fend the wolf off.

But Abel blocks me from the attacking wolf, the one that was lungeing for me...Abel throwing his body in the way.

I fall back, Abel's back crashing into me as the male behind me is knocked to the ground by Kit.

The wind is knocked out of my lungs as I fall back, Abel's body suffocating my chest.

He roars out in pain as the wolf mauls into his flank, trying to reach me but Abel's body lays on top of mine.

I try to move out, try to use my hands to grip soil to cling onto to help pull myself out.
