Denied by Destiny Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 238

Kaia POV

I’d give them a chance to say goodbye at least, they may have broken the mate bond but I’ll grant them their final words to one another.

I just don’t want to be around to see it.

I was heading towards the cells, my warriors had informed me that Marc was being held there and he was gaining consciousness again.

This would be my stop before the medical centre to see what help my team needed there.

“What just happened?” Hector’s hand grips at my elbow as he pulls me back having caught up with me.

“She made her choice.” I grunt pulling my arm out of his hold.

“And what, you would have let her go if she picked him?” His eyebrows raise, not believing I would have continued with my own threat.

“Yes, if that was what she really wanted Hector, I would have honoured that. She can do better, I know she can do better. He is a monster Hector, and I wouldn’t have been able to watch her be with him. Watch him drain her.”

“I don’t believe you, you wouldn’t have let her go…”

“Well it’s a good thing then that she didn’t let me down. I’ve got to go…” I start walking again, Hector by my side.

“I’m coming with you…”

“Hector, I’m going to the cells…” I sigh out, maybe it would be better if he wasn’t present for this.

“I know where you are going, remember I’m your mate. It’s hazy at times…but I can feel your intentions.”

“Hector.”

“If you are going, then so am I.” He growls out, his jaw tensing, his tone not as playful anymore.

I stop in my tracks, turning to face him. My adrenaline was depleting but it was still there, still pumping through my system…keeping that burning rage of anger from simmering over.

“I remember everything Hector, everything…” my hands clench into balls by my side, I remembered everything.

How Than and his pack had treated me, how I found Alora laying in the hospital bed before running, how Hector was my second chance mate but only recognised his bond with Alora…but there were things I had done too that I didn’t want to remember….

“You need to see the doctor.” Hector cups the sides of my face within his hands, both of his thumbs drawing lines across my lips.

“I will, once I have taken care of Marc.”

I continue to the cells, my warriors moving aside as I step in to find him on the floor, unable to move.

“You should get that seen to..” I snarl as I walk towards him.

This man has been the plague in my life since I relocated to the Nightshade Reformed pack. He manipulated me against Hector, tried to use my lack of memory against me, used a lie about knowing my parents to get him on side.

But I remember him now, I remember from the first time I met him, to the time he found me on the cliff tops…

The cliff tops…
