Denied by Destiny Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 313

~ Knox ~

“Only Josephina’s true mate can protect her.” The words of Alpha Hector still ring in my ears. They were repeating like a drum designed to shake me to the core. And they haven’t failed.

She doesn’t have a wolf….the daughter of the two most highly influential, powerful alphas..doesn’t have a wolf.

How was that even possible.

I’ve seen both Jaxon and Jace in their wolf forms, so how can Red have been denied by the moon goddess… How can she have been missed? Has the Moon Goddess not even seen her, she’s impossible to miss.

Any hope of getting sleep last night disappeared as soon as he told me. I couldn’t leave his office, I needed to know more and by the time it came for

training…sleep was the last thing on my mind.

Even as she stood at the bottom of the stairs, her legs bruised and grazed as she tried to hide the

pain…it killed me to think of what could have happened.

How lucky she had been to escape the motorbike crash alive.

How I had unknowingly put her in a life-threatening situation.

I knew there was something, something they were hiding…but I never imagined for one moment it would be that. How could it be…she has a scent, an

allure about her…I can feel that pull to her that is becoming increasingly difficult to avoid.

But if she hasn’t got a wolf, she hasn’t got a mate.

Hector had confided in me, more than he has with his own sons.
