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

I need to right my wrong, before it is too late and I have lost her forever.noveldrama

"You stay here." Uncle Orpheus finger is pointed aggressively towards my face, his face twisting

with anger.

"Not a chance in hell."

"You've done enough damage. I don't want you anywhere near my daughter."

"No, she is my mate and that is my baby." I snarl out.

"Exactly...you will fall right into his trap." Mum nods out, her hands moving to collect Auntie Rosa off the floor as she holds her by her side.

"Trap what trap?" Jaxon's voice is of panic.

"Trust me, Than will have been conceiving a plan for some time."

"I don't care." Nothing...nothing was going to stop me from getting to her. From claiming what is mine.

"I'm leaving, Hector...now. Mark my words Jace, if anything has happened to my daughter because of you, I'll fucking kill you myself." Uncle Orpheus threat is venoumous, and aimed solely on me. Something I don't blame him for, I deserve all his hatred.

"No..."

"Kaia." Dad shouts out.

"I'm sorry Jace, but this is for your own good. I won't let my mistakes of the past shroud your future. We will handle it."

"What are you taking about?" Jaxon scoffs to Mum but I already know what she is preparing to do, as does Josie.

"Mum don't..." Josie screams out just as Mum's eyes bleed out into the ethereal blue of her wolf, her hands moving out in front of her...just as that unsettling coldness spreads out on me again.

I fall under her spell, but this time I'm not the only one. I...Jaxon and Josie all fall to the ground, our energy wiped from us as darkness starts calling out to me.

I can feel Callie desperately slapping at my face, trying to keep me awake as her face is laced with panic. Knox does the same to Josie, catching her in his arms as her body weakens.

His roar aimed at our mother is deafening.

My body fights it, tries to fight her power... tries to conserve what energy it has but it is useless...she is just too powerful.

Jaxon is knelt beside me, fighting the White Wolf's ability, refusing to surrender to the darkness.

His roar matches Knox's, if not surpasses it.

Cleo was my mate, she was

pregnant with my child...they can't do this to me. I need to be there for her, she't never forgive me but I will spend the rest of my life trying to deserve her love, trying to make up for what I have done.

I was trying to keep her safe, trying to protect her...but she has been put in danger by my very actions.

Josie screams out in anger her eyes turning a fiery shade of orange as she tries to heal herself.

I look up to find Dad lifting Mum in his arms, cradling her towards the front door. She was using

all her power on us, diminishing her own energy levels.

If I can just fight it long enough, I'll be able to ride it out longer than her, she'll fall before me.

I can then get to Cleo, I can save her.

Mumsy falls to the floor next

own attempts at fighting

Mum's power surprisingly rendering him just like Josie and I.

"I'm sorry Jace, but it has to be this way." Mum's voice pushes through the mind-link to me.

"No Mum, stop...she is mine."

"I will protect her, but I can't lose you." Her words dwindle out as my breathing becomes laboured and my eyes start to droop.

My eyes become heavy...my body

too weak to stay awake as my head hits the floor, the last thing I see is my parent's figures leaving through the front door.
