Denied by Destiny Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond novel Chapter 574

“Understood.” With a deep inhale, he understands what I am asking of him. I don’t want the beta to take one step back on this pack lands…if he dies, then so be it.

“Ozborne, before you go…Luna Cleo and I need to go off site in a few days time…any trouble makers within the pack? I don’t want to come back to anarchy.”

“As long as you can secure the pack’s future and safety, then they will be yours to command.” He offers out before leaving the office.

I like him already, he doesn’t sugar coat things…he reminds me a lot of my friend Colt, who Callie and I own the beach club with.

I couldn’t have a beta around that had spent his life in servitude to another alpha, one that I had just killed and taken over the pack of.

“Jace, about Zane.” Cleo shifts next to me.

“You want me to let him pack his bags and walk off into the sunset? Because he’ll only go find Medea.”

“Actually no, I think you need to see something.”

I follow Cleo as she moves out of the house, my eyes taking in her figure…I could already

see how much her cleveage has changed, fuck I noticed that the night of the dinner, when everything imploded in on ourselves.

All I want to do is touch her, claim her, but I

need to remember that I need to do right by her, that I have time….we have time.

“Where are we going?”

“To the beta house.” She cryptically replies, not giving me any further information.

I follow her, through the beta house front door…up the stairs, where she gently knocks on a door before a feminine voice responds.

My eyes widen to find a female chained to the bed post, who starts to kick out as Cleo gains distance.

“Freya…he chained you?” Cleo growls out in disgust.

“Cleo…who is that, what’s going on.” The female looks to me in fear, her body pulling in on itself…into a protective ball by the head board.
