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

Chapter 0041 Chapter 0041 Than POV

My eyes couldn't believe what they were seeing, complete betrayal. She was nothing more than a traitor.

Not only has she gone straight to the enemy pack, but she's entwined herself within the pack, with them... with him.

There was no mistaking it, the small curve of her tummy when she turned on her side.

She was with child, the ***h was pregnant, and by him.

If she thinks being pregnant would deter me, then she is wrong. If anything, it has given me a new fire to bring them both down.

I cleared my men out immediately...she needs to know the truth and she needs to know it now.

to break them apart, I need to make her vulnerable...alone.

I drove myself alone back to the Amber Desert pack, Zane making the right choice in not joining me and driving some of the warriors back. The rest followed in other cars. I didn't wait for them, my foot was pushed down on the gas pedal for the entire journey, not even stopping for red lights. My mood was

dark, my aura suffocating even me. Not even having the window fully down helped to clear the atmosphere that was making it difficult to drive. What I really needed was an outlet for my anger. I wanted to shift and run, killing animals in my wolf form, but I didn't have the time. We were up against it more than ever. I speed through the pack gates, mind-linking the guards to let me through. I didn't want to stop.

The car skids to a halt, knocking over a large plant pot outside the alpha house as I leave it too late to hit on the break pedal.

Her eyes light up when she sees that I have returned ahead of schedule. Any other day I would appreciate her response to my early arrival, but not today. "Than?" She eyes me with hesitation when I do not mirror her happy expression.

"I need a photo of him and you together?"

"Hello Alora...I missed you Alora.." She starts to giggle to herself, finding my odd behaviour amusing. Even shaking her head as she returns to the computer. "Alora...I really don't have time for this. Do you have a photo or not?"

"A

photo of who exactly?"

"Of you and Hector." I shout, my hands shaking from frustration. I place them by my side, f***ng them into balls to try and control the trembling.

Her amusement stops instantly, her face taking on a look of hurt as she struggles to look me in the eye. "You know I don't.."

"No Than, you made me burn them, remember."

Yes I remember, I remember very well that I made her burn any memory of them spending any time together. But I know Alora...

"You don't have one photo of him? Not even something hidden away...for safe keeping, just in case." My chest burns at the thought of her maybe thinking they had a future together. That she had a future without

me.

"In case of what? Has something happened, is he alright?" She stands up, her concern for him even now eating away at me.

My temper is worsening, my wolf wanting to shift and attack him. My wolf would quite happily travel the length of distance between our packs just to have the chance to end him.

She says I am hers, that she is mine..but as her forehead furrows and her mouth frowns, I'm finding it hard to believe her.

out my office in the hunt for a photograph. I did make her destroy everything but she must have kept something, something I can use...anything.

I made sure nobody touched her belongings, but she had a few boxes still from when she moved in from her parent's house.

"Than...what's going on?" Alora chases after me up the stairs towards our bedroom. But I change rooms last minute, she wouldn't have anything on display. It must be in with her boxes that we always kept in a guest room. myself, my mood is red....my eyes seeing only red. I've never felt anger like this before, not even when I found out about Hector and Alora.

I can't help

!

I don't even know who is more angry at her being pregnant, my wolf or me.

At first Hector wants my mate, now he has my wife... and has impregnated her.

I start ripping at cardboard boxes, completely making them unusable. Once I am finished with them, they will be shreds of cardboard.

I'm manic in my search that I toss Alora's items to the ground, items that I couldn't bring myself to look at whilst she was in a coma, things from our childhood.

Movie tickets, pressed flowers of the wild bouquets I used to pick for her, silly love letters, even a pack of

+25 NOS

love hearts she has kept from a Valentine's Day we spent together. I'm showing it no love, no treasured value, as Alora tries to prevent my hands from searching more boxes. Then it falls to my feet.
