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



Not because you didn't deserve a wolf, not because I wouldn't want you not to have a wolf...but because it meant you would never leave me. My sweet baby girl, always by my side."

"Oh Dad.." I stand up, moving around his desk and placing my hand around the back of his neck. He turns to look up at me, placing my hands into his.

"As much as it pains me to say...you have my blessing to join him."

"Thank you Dad..."

I never thought I would be able to do this.

Never thought this day would come.

The moon was at her fullest, her ethereal white glow shining down upon me...I could feel her blessing on her beam's touch.

I was stood outside in a silver coloured silk gown, the entire pack stood behind me.

This would be my first ever pack run.

Tomorrow I would leave for a year. Kit tried to put up a fight, tried to assure me that he would make it work, that he would quit his program but he didn't have to.

I didn't want him to.

Besides I had this gut feeling that we would need as many alphas on board as possible. That bringing down the white moon pack would take both time and muscle...we needed friends in all places right now.

"Are you ready?" Kit stands beside me, his hand lacing into mine as he proudly smiles down at me.

"Yes, ready as I'll ever be."

"My loyal pack members, tonight's pack run is a night none of us thought would ever happen. For tonight, our daughter finally gets to join us." Cheering and clapping erupt from the pack members behind us, Jaxon leading on the crowd to celebrate. I turn my head, Jaxon's eyes meeting mine before his darts to the side, his eyes roaming the pack borders in the distance...he would never stop waiting for Jace, never stop hoping for his return.

Neither would I. We were a trio.

“Josie has been blessed with a wolf, and not just any wolf...a moon blessed wolf. Now join us in celebrating her first ever pack run.” Dad announces, his hands raised as he addresses the pack members.

The cheering continues until Dad places his hand up higher, complete silence following.

Then I feel it, my alpha's command to shift before him, to shift before everyone.

Dad shifts first, his clothes shredding as his dark charcoal wolf shakes out his fir. Ony for Mum's contrasting white fur to stand beside him seconds later.

I turn to Jaxon, waiting for him to shift, for him to go next. But he doesn't, he nods...giving me his permission to shift next.

My turn.

I let go of Kit's hand and take a step forward.

I let my alpha's and luna's command wash over me, let that need to submit take control.

She's still there, just by the veil. I haven't even tried to control pushing her back because I don't feel as if I need to. She and I have our own path to follow, our story different to others.

She had been hidden for so long, it feels cruel to push her back into darkness. She has now finally stepped into the light, we both have.

I feel my body bend, feel my bones snap as I shift...the silver coloured silk gown shredding beneath my feet as my wolf stretches out her long spine, her red fur shaking itself out as she finishes her shift.

I feel Kit shift next to me, then Jaxon, followed by the rest of the pack. Kit's wolf nuzzle at my neck, his wolf licking across my snout.

With a howl to the moon by Dad, I follow, my wolf raising her head to the sky, calling out to the moon. We then break out into a run, the entire pack running behind Kit and I, who take the lead.

This feeling, I never thought I would feel.noveldrama

This feeling of complete belonging.
