Denied by Destiny Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 418

I’ll be that axe that cuts his head off.

I lay Red gently down on the bed, my disbelief at her current state, of not even knowing what had happened.

I turn to look at him, back at her. Her dress had been ripped up to her thighs, her face had an imprint of being backhanded and she had blood across her dress straps, blood that was upon his white shirt.

“Did you touch her?” I roar out, trembling with rage.

“Did you touch what is mine?” My roar vibrates the windows around us. My feet not as heavy now as I walk towards him.

“She needs you, Knox, stop.” Luna Rosa steps in front of me, blocking me from him. I was going to rip him to shreds.

He thought he could touch her, force himself upon her.

“He…he tried…” I can’t even utter the words.

“I know.” She growls out at me, her hands clenching into fists down by her side.

“…did he?”

“No, I pulled him off.” Doctor Abel’s words answer me.

“Get him out of here before I kill him myself!” Luna Rosa orders at Jaxon, who pulls him up by the scruff of his neck and leaves. But not before casting a concerned look to his sister.

“I’ll be back, once I throw this piece of shit in jail.” He growls out.

“If he makes it that long.” His chest rumbles threateningly.

“Josie…Josie, can you hear me?” Doctor Abel lifts her eyelids open, shining a torch into them only for her hand to reach up and bat them away.

“Mmm…yes.”

“Red?” My hands cling to her instantly, I needed to touch her…to erase his fingerprints upon her with my own.

“My head.” She sits up, clutching at her head.

“I’ll get you some pain relief, what happened?” Doctor Abel places his torch down, moving to check her pulse on her wrist.
