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

Bond 47



Kaia POV

My hands are covering my ears. Every single word that comes out of his mouth is just lie after lie. "Kaia, you need to calm down. The baby..."

"This baby i

is his. Your enemy's...what were you going to do..trade me and the baby in for her?" Oh goddess I didn't actually believe he was capable of such a thing until I see the reaction in his face. He tries to disguise it but in that brief moment, he couldn't even deceive his own reaction.

Yes

s that was his plan all along. To befriend me, get me to trust him..only to trade me and the baby in for her.

"Do you love her?"

"It's complicated..." He closes his eyes, a deep sigh escaping his lungs. Like it pains him to talk about her. "Complicated?"

"She was meant to be mine but he already had her."

"So I'm right, she is also your mate?"

Yes."

I don't even realise we have an audience until I hear Aubrey gasp at Hector's admission. So they were mates, which is why...like Than... he couldn't feel the bond between us. Doomed to always be second best.

I can't stay, I can't live another lie. I'd rather be alone as a rogue and face parenthood alone in the darkness than live a lie.

"Kaia..."

"Do you love her?"

He takes a moment to consider my question before answering.

"It would be a foolish man to not love his own mate."

What did that mean? He's gone back to being an enigma. If it's not a lie then it's a puzzle.

"Just be honest with me. Me..all of this, was it so you could trade me in for her?"

"Kaia.."

"Just answer me?" My wolf pushes forward, screaming at her own lungs. I push her back, she shouldn't be draining her strength, it will harm the baby.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"Yes. I

But that was before I got to know you..." "What so now you know me you don't want her back?" Chapter 0047

"Its not like that...she's trapped there...she wants to leave but just doesn't know how." His hands run through his dark brown hair, leaving it messy as he pulls at the ends. "Hector, he won't ever let her go, not willingly anyway." "What does that mean?"

I can see his concern for her in his eyes. If he only knew how ill she was, how she was close to death's door and I was her miracle recovery... that in handing me back he would be sacrificing me but saving her, even if he didn't get to be with her. He would still do it. He has admitted that he still loves her, how could he not.

I feel as if the sky is falling in on me.

If I wasn't pregnant I would accept my fate, I would tell him that the wolfsbane his precious mate consumed has ravaged her o***ns, leaving her kidneys useless.

That he would have to live the rest of his life knowing he signed my fate. That he tarnished their mate connection with my death for her survival.

But I can't, I won't.

This is my baby and I will protect it with my life to keep it away from this twisted love triangle they are in.

If Than found out he would keep me alive until I gave birth, then claim the child as the heir, letting her raise my child as the mother.

I need to be free, free of Than, free of Alora...and free of Hector.

*trigger warning*

I don't even know what I am saying anymore, my mouth is just saying whatever it wants to. I've given up filtering my words, given up hiding my pain and anger through the pack bond. He can feel everything I am feeling. He's trying to calm me down, repeatedly saying my anger isn't good for the baby.

That's when I feel it, feel my world start to end too soon.

I can feel a

I

"Sho

Ia cramp in my lower abdomen, feel the cramp start to increase into a burning sensation. H clutch at my stomach, my eyes looking at Hector whose fear for me is reflected in his own eyes. ..blood." I can just hear Aubrey gasp as she runs towards me. e's pregnant..."

I feel like I am underwater, my hearing has become m***ed and my eyes start to feel heavy. My legs start to give way and for a moment, I swear I feel as if I am falling.

"Kaia." I

aia." I hear him shout for me as his body moves at such a fast pace he catches me before I hit the floor face first.

His arms wrap around me before he hoists me up and cradles into his chest.

"Ezra, drive us to the hospital." Hector growls as he rushes me out of the alpha house and into his car. Chapter 0047

The last noise I can make out is the slamming of the car doors and the roaring of the car engine coming to life. I must be imagining Hector's voice as he whispers into my ear... "Just hold on Kaia..."
