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

Again the move not going unnoticed by him, or my own father. Who takes a step forward, his alpha aura pushing forward and mixing with mine.

A smirk finally forms in the corner of the lips of this Alpha Darnell. His lips spreading out further into

a devious smile before he pulls his aura back completely, mine also extracting back into me.

Dad hold's his for a little longer until Colt places a hand on his upper back, trying to diffuse the situation.

"Is this why you summoned Callie here, to rub her nose in it." Colt demands out.

"This will be her last chance to collect anything from this household before I redesign it. Throw

anything out that isnt wanted.." This Alpha Darnell shrugs his shoulders, sitting back down as if he couldn't care less why we were here.

"Why, where are you two going?" Callie's eyes snap to her parents.

"We are going into retirement. We are leaving."

"Leaving...leaving to go where?"

"That isn't any of your concern." Louise coldly replies to her own daughter.

"Dad?" Callie tries to plead to her father, but it goes unwanted as he stands taller, his shoulders becoming broader as he also shuts down on his last remaining child.

"You made your choice." Luna Louise seethes out.

"What choice? I was willing to be the alpha, you just didn't like my choice of partner." My heart breaks for Callie, you can hear the desperation in her voice.

"Can you take the family quarrel outside, it really does not serve me. If you have anything upstairs I will grant you this time to collect it." He flicks his hand, rudely trying to shoo us out.

"There isn't anything upstairs that I want, there is nothing here that I want. Just one person...and I will take her now. I will remove my mate from the pack."

"If she is your mate, then I will grant that. I will honour that." He nods out before returning back to his paperwork.

Callie turns towards us, the four of us moving indoors a little huddle to speak quietly.

"I'll go get Gwen, I think it best you all meet me by the car. I won't be long."

"I think maybe one of us should come with you...Dad?" I look to Dad, not wanting Callie to enter any further into this pack by herself than she needs to.

I do not trust this new alpha, whose eyes were no longer engrossed in paper work but looking between my stomach and my face.

"It is unknown of for a non pack member to become an alpha." I can't stop myself, the words leave my lips before I can prevent them.

"Yet your mate has done it I understand? The exact same thing." He raises an eyebrow at me, a smirk upon his face.

"My mate challenged the alpha and won." My jaw tenses, as I become extremely protective of Jace.

"There was no challenge for me, I was asked to take on this pack. No violence...no death has been involved...not yet anyway." His eyes burn into mine, he was challenging me.

"Gwen no longer lives here Callie, you won't find her here." Alpha Bill sighs out to

his daughter, breaking the eye contact between Alpha Darnell and myself.

"Why, where is she?" Callie's face pales instantly, fear hitting her.

"After you left, she couldn't remain."

"But that was almost two years ago..." Callie gasps out, her hands even covering her mouth from shock.

"Then she's been gone for almost two years." Luna coldly shrugs, viewing her own child as if she were a piece of dirt on the bottom of her shoe.

"If anything has happened to her.." Callie roars out, moving towards her own mother as she grips her by the throat, only for Alpha Bill to tear his daughter off his mate and throw her to the ground.

"Don't you dare touch her."

"I didn't everything you asked of me. I left so she could continue to flourish here. You promised me that. Where is my mate?" Callie screams out, as Dad gathers her up off the floor.

"If by any luck, she's already dead."noveldrama
