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

Kaia POV

"That will be gone soon enough..." He leans into me, his fingers touching Hector's mark on my neck...a shudder runs down my spine.

My wolf, not liking another male touching us lunges me forward snapping my teeth at him. He jumps back, the restraints pull me back... preventing me from moving closer to him but my jaws still promise to clamp down on his fingers if he dares to touch me again.

"You are only out of the dungeon because Samson promised you will behave...one step out of line and I will whip you myself and chain you back up down there...do you understand?" Alpha Zederick sneers at me, a complete contrast in his demeanour from the person I thought I knew..

The door opens, Samson walking in and Zederick walking out...they mutter something to each other but I'm already losing my focus, the sedative...still lingered in my system.

Samson takes a seat on the end of the bed, I turn my body away from him... my eyes trained on the window.

On my escape route.

I hear him pull another syringe out, what were they waiting for, why did they keep drugging me. I needed to get out of here, I needed to overpower him somehow.

"I thought you were my Beta?" My wolf's words of encouragement come back to me...keep him talking. The syringe goes back into his pocket, my breathing calming for a moment.

"I am, more than you know." He sighs, before walking over to the window and closing it.

"That makes no sense." I respond watching him carefully. He has closed it, not locked it.

"Talking, keep him talking Kaia." My wolf demands.

"I've been trying to protect you, to get you back for some time Kaia." He walks over to the window, reopening it... before leaning against the window frame and looking out. "Back where?"

"To your original pack. The pack you bg to."

"The Crystal Waters pack?"

"No..." He laughs out sarcastically.

"The original pack. The Crystal Waters was a pack created to keep you hidden." He moves back to me, perching down on the end of the bed, his back to me as his hands reach back into his pocket. "Keep me hidden?"

"Not you..your ancestors. They lived peacefully until your Father decided to make changes..." He growls with a hatred, his upper lip lifting into a curl... the flashing of his teeth forcing my wolf to send a shot of adrenaline through my system. "Changes?" I press needing to keep him talking.

He lifts off the bed, angling himself...making me move away from him.

"Hmmm...Kaia, how did Beckett die?"

"What?" Of all the things to ask, why this. Why does he keep going back to this.

"I'm struggling to understand how a healthy, albeit slightly older man, enters surgery where the doctors and the surgeons assured he would be safe...then dies not during the surgery..but after the surgery." "Organ failure." I shrug pulling at my wrists.

"The loss of the organ was too much for him."

"Who told you that?" He seethes through a clenched jaw.

I pause for a moment, Hector and the Head Doctor told me that when I woke up.

"There was no autopsy!" He uses the opportunity where I lost concentration on him to take a step closer

to me.

"There wouldn't be, he died under doctor care...it was also declared too traumatic for the pack....

"You don't remember?" He cuts me off, his wolf was excited. I could sense his racing heart now he was

even closer to me.

"No, you know this Samson. I have amnesia."

"So what you just said... is a lie spun by Hector." He whispers in a low growl as he takes a step towards me, his body getting closer to mine.

My wrists twist in the chains, as I once again try to escape my restraints.

My back is flat against the headboard, my knees curling up again to protect myself.

"I thought maybe he said something to you and you took appropriate action." His skin is almost touching mine. The hairs on my arms can feel his, he was too close to me now. I needed to act fast.

"Excuse me?"

"Beckett...I thought you might have learnt the truth."

"What truth?"This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

"That he killed your Mother?"
