Denied by Destiny Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 310

~ Knox ~

His eyes continue to glare at me in the dark, the whites of his eyes almost fluorescent yet they aren’t as predatory as before. Aren’t promising me death like when I returned his daughter covered in blood.

Now there’s concern edged in the corners as they narrow before his voice whispers out from the darkness.

“Come with me.”

“Where are we going?” Hesitation kicks in, how much did he exactly witness. Was I walking to my own death, like a lamb for slaughter. It was easier to dispose of body in the middle of the night, I would know.

“We need to talk, in private.” He grunts out, his back turning on me and I have no choice but to follow his lead.

I follow him, my intrigue heightened as we walk back downstairs, towards the deathly quiet location of his office. Even I can see how odd it must seem that I entered her bedroom in the dead of night. I had no place to be in there, I was the alpha trainer, a mentor to his sons…what business have I got being near the pack princess.

He moves to his desk, switching a small lamp on before moving to a sideboard and picking out two small glasses. He reaches for a bottle of whiskey, before pouring us a glass each…moving to hold one out for me to take.

I wasn’t much of a drinker, I suppose I didn’t really have the need to reflect back on the day. I’m usually too exhausted from remaining active that sleep falls upon me very easily. Or it used to. I learnt a long time ago that alcohol has a way of bringing nightmares to your dreams.

I don’t need the warm burning sensation of whiskey…well not usually but I can’t deny I knock it back a bit too easily. It’s been a hellish day and as Alpha Hector pours me a second glass…I take it gladly.

“So, how do you find my pack?” He asks before slowly sipping on his own whiskey glass as he moves to sit behind his desk.

“Like a fortress.” It’s the truth, I’ve never seen a pack like it. Not one sign of an error.

“You’ve visited every part of it?”
