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

"All me, I fucking know." I sigh out, releasing my hold on him and running my hands through my hair.

"What do you want to do?" Jaxon takes a step closer to me, his jaw tense...his eyes burning with rage.

"Who the fuck is this Than? I need her away from him, no matter what...if he thinks he can claim my mate and baby as his..."

"He won't, we won't let that happen."

"I swear to the goddess Jace if something happens to her.." Josie pushes against my chest, all her anger directed at me.

"Don't you think I know that Josie, don't you think I know I've fucked up." I roar back at her.

"And you, what the fuck were you thinking...you knew, you knew they were fated mates and still went along with this?" Josie turns on Callie, redirecting her anger.

"I didn't know she was pregnant, he assured me he didn't want this. I've got shit of my own Josie, life hasn't been easy for me....I'm not the daughter of the untouchable alpha mates. You don't know my life, so why don't you fuck the back off." Both females stand up to one another, Josie's eyes bleeding out to that of her wolf. The healer wolf still has a temper.

I don't have time for this.

"Callie, this isn't helping." I growl out over my shoulder as I exit the front door, Knox and Jaxon on my six, the females behind them.

"Plan?" Knox turns to me, expectantly.

"In my eyes the Amber Desert declared war the moment their alpha thought he could take my mate. We move, with warriors...if it's a fight he wants...it's a fight he'll get."

"I'll get the order to the Dark Phantom warriors..."

"Fine but tell them to hurry. I may not be their alpha yet but it's time we showed the world what the Clear Waters pack is made of."

Every minute waiting for the dark phantom warriors to arrive has been a living hell.

Silence, I demanded complete silence. I couldn't have the Amber Desert getting wind of any sign that they were under surveillance.

My warriors held back, hiding behind the tree-line, using the camouflage that nature provides us. Ready to shift at any given word and launch our attack.

Through our telescopes we could confirm the SUV's that Mum and Dad arrived in and took as they sped off.

They had made it, I was dying to know what was happening inside the alpha house. We could make figures through a window...the curtains pulled only giving silhouettes against the indoor lighting.

She was okay, she had to be okay....I knew this. There was no other option. I

couldn't think of any other option.

It was taking all my inner strength to

line

stop my wolf tearing the fences down and pulling her into my arms. I would never let her go againd would never keep my eyes off her

Knox taps my shoulder, his hands making signals that the warriors were in

position and waiting for the order to attack.

Each one of them was dressed in black with masks

blending into the shadows.

My head snaps back to the view in front of me, the front door opens as Orpheus lifts a fighting Cleo in his arms.

Maybe we wouldn't need to attack after all. They were getting her out, getting her back to me.noveldrama

Ares moves ahead of his father, opening the car door, only for Cleo to kick back out...the distant desperate pleas of Rosa to not hurt her.

Anger surges through me as Orpheus manhandles my mate, my own pregnant mate. I have to bite down on the growl that wants to escape me.

Jaxon's hand lands on my shoulder, bringing me back to my centre. He knew how hard this was for me to watch, to not step in. To let her be manhandled

“Just a little longer, stay strong my brother." His voice flitters into my mind, his hand squeezing my shoulder as a commotion drags my eyes back off him.

A female steps out, holding an elderly woman by her side...a male moving in front

of them.

Alpha Than...

As soon as I see the shine of the small blade, my mouth commands the attack for me. I see red.

Stealth movement happens every side of me, as warriors launch the attack heading to their designated locations.

I push off the ground, my feet running towards the front gates. They don't even

see us coming. I don't even need to shift.

My hands are wringing necks of the gate guards just as sirens plast through the grounds, our attack being announced.
