Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond

Hector POV

The role of alpha is to protect the members of your pack, even sometimes from themselves. But I couldn't protect Rosa...and it is as we feared.

The doctor confirmed that she had taken the pill which would avoid any pregnancy, especially having taken it quickly after the event. The poor girl.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

She was home now, her father carrying her home, cradled in his arms as she continued to sob even in her sleep.

A life changed.

I knew what I needed to do, but I was waiting for Kaia to call it a night.

t want t her to be alone right now, something was wrong. She didn't touch her dinner and I know it wasn't just me, Aubrey commented on hearing her being sick in the bathroom.

I didn't She had

gone to bed at midnight, struggling to keep her own eyes open as she watched some trash television show, I'm not sure what it was.

I was watching her.

I'm not involving Riley in this, he'll get the news in the morning and have the chance for revenge then.

But right now I need this to go smoothly, just alpha talking to alpha about a crime committed.

Not letting it escalate into the battle he so desperately wants. He won't be able to step over my borders and onto my lands.

He won't be able to reach her.

I'm keeping it to just me and Ezra, Alpha and Beta. A select few know what we are doing and are on standby readying to defend at any given second.

Rightly or wrongly, I've removed all females from border patrol tonight, just as an extra precaution. I'm not suggesting they can't defend themselves but...when the news gets out, in the eyes of their mates and father's, I've already put measures in place to protect them. As soon as we switched guards, it was reported to me that he had arrived. That he was standing, watching the switchover take place. B***rd.

I find him, which doesn't take long, he was with a group of his warriors on the North East part of my pack lands.

I slowly walk over to him, my footsteps heavy and slow. Deliberate in my attempt to make him feel uneasy.

Ezra is on my right, walking with just as much purpose. Our strides of confidence not going unnoticed. Chapter 0033

He takes a step into a small clearing, his beta initially on his right, switching to his left as we approach. "Alpha Hector, what a treat this evening." He smirks, hands held out as if he were welcoming an old friend. "Cut the b***hit Than, I'm not here for pleasantries."

"Oh, what a shame... I had hoped you weren't alone..." His eyes look past me, as if expecting Kaia to walk out of the shadows behind me.

What a dick.

One of

of your men attacked an underage young female early yesterday morning." My eyes gaze upon his selection of men, seeing if any of them fit the description. "Rubbish, my men haven't stepped over the line."

"No, but one of my pack members did. He enticed her over, claiming to be her mate. I want him to be brought here now!" 1

"Hector, you can't be serious." As he folds his arms across his chest, I lose all patience with him. I didn't have time for this.

"said

I NOW!" I "I roar, my wolf lunging forward, almost on the cusp of taking full control.

His warriors immediately take a defence format, readying to shift and counter attack.

I take a deep breath in, I control my wolf... can't have him giving Than the excuse he wants to attack.

"He needs to admit to his crime. Unless your men have been ordered to resort to such...monstrous tactics?" I growl, taking a step closer to Than, my boots sticking to the gooey mud. It had been raining all day, not once giving us a moment of respite. "Tactics? No of course not." His jaw tenses, his lips making an expression of disgust at my proposal of his leadership.

"Are you sure, because it wouldn't be the first time someone from your pack has taken something that doesn't belong to them?"

He is instantly in my face, his ches

"I'll tell you what, I'll do an exchange. The male for Kaia." His tongue runs across his top teeth, his wolf preparing to elongate his canines. Trying to be intimidating, trying and failing.

"No chance." I laugh at his pathetic attempt to

"She for him, and he is yours to do whatey even pretend she is worth the same value for an exchange.

"Who says I don't want her?" A wickedly evil smile forms across my face.

Why do you want her anyway. If Alora is awake...you

allowed to punish him in whatever way I see fit." I order.

He glares at me, his face now slightly moved away from mine but still holding that tensed jaw that looks painful each time he swallows.

He must know that if he doesn't offer the male up, that I will kill all his men. He must know this. I would treat them all as guilty parts of Rosa's fate.

"Find out which warrior and fetch him to me.." He barks his order.

"Alpha?" His Beta Zane looks at his alpha in astonishment.

"Do as I say!"
