Denied by Destiny Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 322

“But he’s not my mate.” Her bottom lip becomes entrapped by her teeth, I hate seeing her like this…conflicted.

“So? Take it from someone who doesn’t have a mate, life is too short. You found a man that cares for you, that wants to be with you…make you his. Who cares what the moon thinks. I hate to say it Auntie Alora but if you haven’t found your mate at this time in your life…it’s highly unlikely that you ever will.” Or that he is dead…but nobody likes to think their destined mate has already been killed.

“You think I should let him mark me?”

“Hell yes. Ezra is perfect for you, we all adore him, Dad trusts him completely…what have you been waiting for. Is that why you were alone…are you worried what we would have all thought?” I mean he was Dad’s original beta for goddess sake. He helped Dad set up this pack.

“No, not that…it’s just…hang on, what do you meant …take it from someone who doesn’t have a mate?” She gives me a pinned look, making me backtrack on what I just said, using her fingers to requote my own words.

“I have no wolf.” My voice is slightly sarcastic, as I point out the obvious.

“So?”

“So, no wolf…no mate.” I flippantly state with a shrug of my shoulders.

“You really believe that?”

“Of course I do.”

“But I thought George?”

“No…George was a bit of fun.” I struggle to hide the grimace on my face.

“Was?”
