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

His face inches from mine.

He was drunk, I could smell the alcohol on his breath. I hated him drunk, always have.

"You need to get back to the party George, I can't talk right now." I try to push him off me but he doesn't budge.

"I'm not here to talk..." The corner of his lips curl up, his eyes void of emotion.

"No? What do you want then?" I raise my chin, determined to not let him see that his current closeness was sending alarm bells to my wolf.

"I thought we could...you know...catch up...like old times."

"You just said you weren't here to talk!" I scoff out, I didn't have time for his games. I push on his chest trying to create some much needed space between us. The air around me was becoming difficult to breathe, he needed to back the hell up.

"I'm not here to talk." He sneers as his hands move, gripping at my wrists and yanking them behind me.

In the same motion, I want to vomit as his tongue licks across my collarbone...trailing up to my neck.

"Get off me!" I growl out, fighting against his hold.noveldrama

""You used to love it when I did this to you."

"That was then, and I'm with someone else now. A mate, I found my mate." I bark back, moving my body to find a way out. "You'll always be mine Josie..." I feel his teeth graze slightly against my neck, my sensitive spot...where Kit will mark me. I see red.

"No!" I growl out again, raising my knee and kicking him in the balls. I wasn't his, I was never his.

His hands drops to his private parts, as he squeals out in pain, taking an eye watering deep breath in.

I push him away from me, moving past him as I don't hide the disgust I feel as I look down at him.

Pathetic, he was pathetic.

How dare he try it on with me, especially knowing I

have a mate.

Relief washes over me as my fingertips touch onto the door frame, pulling my numb legs for me. I'm almost in the corridor when I shriek out in pain, my hair being pulled back from behind.

I fall back, the back of my head hitting the edge of the work top...my vision blanking out momentarily.

My wolf screams at me in my mind, her raised commands giving me a splitting headache as my vision blurs and my tongue seems to enlarge. I'm so disoriented that her shouts don't make any sense to me. I feel hands pulling at my dress, lifting at my skirt...my wolf continuing to scream in my head.

No!

I kick out, hearing the crack of his nose as I kick upwards with all the energy I have left. "Argh, you bitch!" He roars at me, slapping across my face with the back of his hand. The motion only adding to my already disorientated state.

My legs become heavy, unmovable under his weight and he grips my hands above my head. I can feel my wolf screaming at me to use the mind-link, to call for help but she's fading and words, even unspoken by the tongue, seem to fail me.

I hear the tearing of clothes, pure fear drowning me before an almighty growl erupts nearby. "Josie? What the fuck are you doing?" Someone shouts out, George's weight being lifted off

me.

I can breathe slightly easier now, I hadn't realised his weight was also on my chest until it was gone.

"Josie?" I hear a high pitched frantic shriek before soothing soft hands touch at my face.

"Oh my darling...Josie, can you hear me darling. Get him away from her!" It sounded like Auntie Rosa, it can't be, she sounded possessed.

"Check her pulse." I think I hear Doctor Abel growl out, hands follow to touch my neck.

"I...I have blood on my hands." That frantic voice ear piercingly painful as my head continues to crack open.

"What?"

"Her head....the back of her head..."

"Switch...take him." I don't miss Doctor Abel's aggressive growl.

"No."

"Luna Rosa."

"No, if I touch him, I'll kill him!"
