Denied by Destiny Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 467

~ Jace ~

“I knew you shouldn’t have come.” Josie turns to Knox, removing his arm from around her just as

I push my chest into his.

“What the fuck is your problem?” I growl out, my eyes now inches from his. He might be pissed at me, just like the rest of my family, but what gives him the right to be the one that acts out.

“You.” He jabs his finger into my chest, trying to push me back but my steady feet weren’t moving.

They were cemented to the floor.

“Take it outside.” Dad commands out, putting his alpha aura behind it.

I don’t take my eyes off Knox but in my peripheral vision I can see Mum placing her arms around Callie’s shoulders to guide her back towards the sitting room.

Perhaps it was better for us to do this outside. My wolf has been eager to find an excuse to shift. I told him to wait until border patrol tonight, but he is pressing just beneath the veil…hopeful for the opportunity.

I already find my feet moving to the front door…Knox and Jaxon following me.

“Wait for me.” Josie calls out behind, just as I exit the front door…Knox on my tail.

“No.” Knox growls out.

“Kit.” Josie clicks her tongue, she has never been one to be told what to do, and I don’t expect her to take it from her mate either.

But, I’m surprised when she looks between her mate and me…seemingly contemplating his words.

“I said no.”

“You’re an arsehole..”

“Yes, but I’m your arsehole.” Knox takes a step closer to Josie, his arms wrapping around her

lower back as he pulls her into a kiss. His lips then moving to his mark on her neck, her body vibrating.

That mate bond between them getting to work.

Their bodies like magnets towards one another, something I don’t think I will ever be prepared to see.

I turn away, trying to prevent the vomit threatening to rise in the back of my throat as I start walking over to the training field.

It wouldn’t be exactly private, but if Knox has something to say…then at least my wolf can come out.

Remind him of his place. He may be my sister’s mate, but he isn’t alpha.

“What’s his problem?” I grunt out to Jaxon as we reach the training field, Knox behind us as he breaks out into a jog to close the gap.

“Let’s just say if it wasn’t guaranteed that he would hit you…then it would have been me.” Jaxon flatly responds, as if it was the most obvious thing to have happened.
