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



- Josie -

I can't stop imagining the small ten year old Kit watching his own family die before his verynoveldrama

eyes.

A horror nobody should witness, let alone a small innocent child.

Kit, my own mate, had a horrendous childhood...because of my family.

My own blood.

The blood that runs through my veins is the same blood that has tortured him.

I can't breathe...my heart keeps pounding against my chest as mixed emotions of anger, sorrow, hatred and love spread through me all at once.

I love him so much, to the point that it hurts me not to think of us being together but how can we be together after this.

How can he be with me...he won't, he can't.

How could we have children together when he

knows that same blood is the blood that killed his own family.

I'm at my cabin in the meadows before I even know how I got here.

A thick black fog has covered my mind, my legs acting on their own accord. I just needed to move.

I need a gun, I need to shoot...it always helps me to think clearer...helps me calm down.

But after the attack and being the pack's Head of Weapons, I locked the armoury down. Just to

be safe for a few days whilst the pack mourned.

The White Moon pack was gone, far from here. The pack was no longer at threat, not for now anyway.

I could go back to the alpha house and get my pistol but I have to be away from there right now, I can't listen to their excuses any longer.

My grandfather...had not only killed my grandmother, and his own pack.

But he had killed my mate's pack.

My mate's family...rendered him homeless, an alpha with no pack to lead.

My knees give way, as my body can no longer carry this heavy load of guilt.

As I fall to the ground I scream out, my heart's agony no longer deniable. How will he ever look at me again.

My hands feed through my hair, pulling at the ends as I open my eyes, my vision blurred from the tears...a red glow emitting out of me.

It's different this time...it's not coming from my hands, it's around me. As if it was trying to heal me, even protect me.

"Rein it in!" He demands out, my eyes darting to the door where he stands with Lobo barking.

"I...can't!"

"Rein it in!" He orders again, moving towards me.

"You need to leave, I can't control it." I gasp out as the light glows brighter around me.

"Yes you can. It's feeding off your emotions, now rein it in!" He commands at me, his heavy aura crashing into me, fighting against the glow.

I'm scared as he steps into it, scared it will hurt him, but it doesn't. It lets him pass through.

I feel his hands reach for me, feel his touch upon my skin as he pulls me into him. His firm touch calming me.

He shouldn't even be here, he can't be here.

"You can't be here...you shouldn't be here." I muffle out against his chest, my head tilting up to look at him.

"Where you go, I go."

"No..." I push myself out of his hold, the glow around me starting to soften as I start to take control back. Force it back in on itself.

No this wasn't right.

"Don't you see...we can't be together. Not after this."

"What are you talking about?"

"How can you be with me Kit, why would you want to be with me. My family is the reason you are alone." I pant out, needing him to see...no matter how painful this would be, he needed to see what this means.

"No, Josie..."

"Yes Kit, listen to me. The same blood that runs through these veins, is the same blood that killed your parents, killed your family...your entire pack. How can you look at me..how can you want to be with me now knowing that." My arms lift up in the air, my veins becoming more visible as I clench my muscles. Wanting to emphasise my blood in my veins.

"Because it isn't about us."

"How can you say that, how can you have children with me knowing what their great grandfather has done?" I scream out at him, my soul aching as my heart and head fight one another.

"Because you are mine Red, mine by fate, mine by right." He's in front of me again, his intoxicating scent of leather and sandalwood invading my senses...making my body turn into him.

Judging by the smirk on his lips he knew what he was doing, he knew the mate bond would be too hard for me to fight against.

"Kit..." I breathe out, trying to move away but he grips me close to him. Pulling my body firmly against his chest, his thumb tilting my chin up... giving me no choice but to look him directly into those additive eyes of his.

"I don't blame you in any way at all Red. Just like I don't blame your mother. How can I, how can I blame her or you for something you had nothing to do with..."

"But.."

"No, you listen to me. We've come too far now to throw us away. We are destined Red...and I won't let that psychopath win again. I am bound to you Josie, just as you are bound to me. In fact..." His dark brown broody eyes continue to try and reason with me, try to make me feel better.
