Denied by Destiny Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 457

I reach for my phone without hesitation, Jace was a half of this story.

This child was his and he has a right to know.

“Can I come by the hotel, it’s important? x” I write the text message out, taking in a deep calming breath of air before pressing send.

With all the attempts from numerous people to get a hold of him and with no response, most think he has changed numbers…but something is telling me to trust my gut.

That he has kept the same number that he is just choosing not to respond to them.

I move back into my bedroom, catching my side profile in the mirror.

I can’t see any signs of a bump yet, but it was still early days. It would perhaps explain why my wolf has been more tired of late..thinking of it, I haven’t actually shifted for a while.

There hasn’t been the need, not even during training. It is wet season and all training has been inside in the gym.

My mobile beeps, a notification of a message…I reach for it, not expecting it to be Jace so soon but as his name lights up on my home screen…I have to sit down on the edge of my bed.

“Hey, I’m actually home. Back at the Dark Phantom pack, here for a few days.”

He was back?

He was back at the Dark Phantom pack…and didn’t tell me?

If I hadn’t of text, would I have even known.
