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

Kala POV

I still had plenty of questions and I know Hector said I could ask him anything, but I couldn't shake the feg that he was being careful with how he answered.

He seemed guarded, whether that was because he didn't want to upset me, or tell me things I wasn't ready to know...I'm not sure. Maybe it would be better to figures things out for myself, or let the past go. Start on my new beginnings.

This amnesia thing was weird. I remember-somethings but not others. Like I knew exactly to order the burger and chips, but if you ask me to remember what my date of birth was...I'd come up empty. Maybe a sign that things would make sense to me soon, that it was all still there, I just needed to let my head heal from my injury.

In fact, how did I get my injury. The doctor had been very blasé when I asked him, and quickly left my

room.

"How did I actually lose my memory?" I ask Hector before slurping on my milkshake with a straw. This was good, plus it cooled my flaming cheeks from his undivided attention.

He did things to me, made my cheeks blush, made my throat dry...and other things.

Things I'm not sure I like.

I don't like him having that kind of power over me..

'Could I not just forget his command, could I just not pretend to go to the toilet and make a run for it.

Our food arrives and as it does I feel the urge to sit closer to him, that this table between us was getting

in the way.

His dark eyes glaring at me as his knee touches mine. My breaths were becoming faster as his closeness started to ignite an annoying sensation within my stomach,

"It's the bond...you can't fight it." I look up to find him smirking as he bites into his own food.

My eyes watch him as he devours his own burger, mine remaining untouched.

How can he ooze such arrogance, such confidence in what we are to one another.

I will my legs to push up off the ground and my mind to ignore my wolf's own purr to be closer to him.

"What are you doing?" He looks up at me as I stand up abruptly.

"Toilet...I need to use the toilet."

I close the toilet door behind me, locking it before sitting on the toilet seat to catch my breath. How could he make me start to have a breathing attack just by looking at me and touching me in a certain way. 1 need time alone, I need to figure things out for myself. Not listen to a woman that claims to be my

and a male that claims to be my soul's missing piece.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

As I enter back into the restaurant I find him looking at me from a distance, his eyes penetrating through each walter that walks in front of me.

I turn on my heel and walk out of the restaurant but I don't make it far. As soon as I hit the path my body freezes, my mind and body in conflict with one another, I want to move but I can't.

It is physically impossible, as if I have also forgotten how to move my legs.

"It's the command." His satsifed voice comes from behind.

"I can strengthen it at any time." He quips, amusing himself at least.

"Let me go." I seethe through gritted teeth. He might think this is funny but I certainly don't.

"And go where huh?" I flinch slightly as his hand moves a stray hair out of my eyes and tucks it behind my ear. I didn't want him touching me and yet I also wanted his hands all over me. "Don't make this more difficult than it has to be..."

"More difficult? You're the one using a command on me.."

"Because if I don't you'll run and I can't have that."

"Can't" I puff my chest out defiantly.

"Won't" His height suddenly engulfs mine, his hand wraps around my lower back...touching the skin that has become exposed between my waistband and T-shirt.

It slowly lifts up, as his hand moves towards the back of my bra, his eyes remain fixed on mine the entire time.

A skilled predator stunning his prey.

His lips move to my neck, to where he bit me. His soft wet lips press against the mark, before he sucks the skin in...a loud moan escaping me as my legs give way. ""You are mine Kaia."
