Denied By Destiny Trapped In The Shadows Of The Mate Bond Novels & Stories

Ava held her breath without realizing it because she was nervous that Raymond might really see through her. He did. "Now I know," Raymond snorted coldly, "you are not my mate. You have been luring me to reject the mate bond with you, you even tried to initiate the rejection. But you failed because even though not understanding why, Sysiphus kept the mate bond. Now I know why." "No, you don't!" Ava snapped. Raymond shook his head, landing his eyes on Killian for confirmation as he sentenced Ava slowly: "You stole my mate bond from someone else. There are some spells that allow you to mislead a wolf to recognize only the mate bond, but not the wolf behind it, isn't there?"

She had been eavesdropping on them, again. “You can’t let him keep seeing her! You are her father, forbid him!” She grabbed Dave’s jacket and shook him as she spoke, her eyes wide with desperation. Dave pulled her hands off him and straightened out his jacket. “Sabrina, this doesn’t concern you. And I can’t forbid him. His mind is set. And he is the alpha of our pack. Merilee loves him, and I can’t cause her anymore pain.” “This does concern me. Ash is mine! Your daughter is his mistress, she will never be anything more, and for the rest of her miserable human life, she will be just that!”

There was no way he'd accept her as his mate; not when he had Sheila in his life. "It's really not funny you know. We always fight against one another because of our greed for power and dominance and it's ruining us all! This is why it would be easy for the creatures cursed by the sun to completely end us. I sense they are here and they've started to take us down by even making us suspect each other." She tells him, raising her voice slightly. Damien sighed. "If really all you are saying is true, I have no problem creating a pact with you but where the issue lies is that, I cannot accept you as my mate because I love someone else." He said truthfully.

But this confirmed that we were already there. Even after knowing how it felt to lose her mate bond and being in this kind of agony, she was still willing to do it again. She had feelings for me, and she knew it now. Giving her mate bond to The Shadows means she wouldn't be eligible to find a mate when she turned 21. It was gone for good. No getting back in the mating pool later on. The guilt gnawed its way through my bones. I couldn't help but feel that it was all my fault and the acknowledgement of this was suffocating.

Tyramon said and left the room. "Did she just threaten me?" I asked, my mouth wide open. "I don't know, she talked into your ears," Zella replied, shrugging her shoulders. I will deal with her later but for now I have to focus on saving Aethelfrith. How could I be so dull to forget Aethelfrith wasn't a full blooded vampire but a Dhampir and that's the reason I was Betrothed to him to make him stronger. "What have I done? Instead of making Aethelfrith stronger, I have sent him to a place to get killed," I said, tears rolling down my face as I couldn't control it anymore.

Xatar's eyes, the color of stormy skies, gazed deeply into Navana's, as he replied with a solemn tone, "I have just returned from the great council, where the venerable Oracle and seer unveiled a prophecy of grave significance. It speaks of a destiny that could tip the delicate balance between the mortal and immortal realms, potentially bringing either ruin or prosperity." As Xatar spoke, the weight of the prophecy hung heavy in the air, and Navana's heart tightened with a mix of foreboding and understanding. She knew, deep within her soul, the true meaning concealed within the enigmatic words of the prophecy. But she had made a solemn oath, vowing to keep her secret hidden, safeguarding the

Dammit, I’m screwed. The mate bond is far stronger than I imagined—stronger than I remembered. The moment Lynette ran from me, I should have gone after her. I should have remembered how deeply the bond grips an alpha when their mate tries to escape. But I didn’t.

“I did what I had to.” She scoffed. “What you had to? You sent men to Nightshade to bring back a woman who no longer belongs here. A woman who is not your fated mate!” My grip tightened on the armrests. “She is still Kate’s mother.” “And Aurora is your mate!” Mother snapped, stepping closer. “How do you think this makes her feel? Do you have any idea what you’re doing to your marriage?” A humorless laugh escaped me. “Marriage?” I finally met her gaze, and the words came out like venom. “You mean the bond the Moon Goddess forced on me?”

They had lied to me, to us, for two decades. "The mate bond, Elder," I pressed, pushing past the shock. "If this lost heir is... within the pack. If she is believed to be kin. How does destiny align with such a cruel deception?" Elias gave a slow, knowing nod. "Destiny has its own path, Ronan. It binds where it chooses. The mate bond transcends blood, false or true. It merely affirms what is meant to be. It also heralds danger. The awakening of the lost heart would draw unwanted attention. Old enemies, dormant for decades, will stir."

"We have to do something. Anything. The Sun will be rising soon. Take her to water. Anything." Eli talks next. "I don't think that would work. She is made of moonlight, and the shadows are suffocating that light within. Her only hope is that she can survive 30 hours like this while battling the shadows within." I hold my girl close. I close my eyes and feel the mate bond, but it's fading. I'm not losing her, but if I am, I'm going with her and my pups to the Moon realm. I move her hair on her right side and expose her neck. I hear the gasp from everyone as they realise what I am doing but sink my teeth into her marking spot before anyone can say anything. I instantly feel the shadows floodin
