Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond
Chapter 0259

Something rattles me from the way this doctor talks about the alpha's daughter, far too personal for my liking. Even the way he uses her name...I haven't yet dared to say it...yet dared to think it. Protocol goes, she is the alpha's daughter and should be addressed as such. Alpha Hector finishes giving me the tour of the pack hospital, before showing me the rest of the pack grounds, including the borders.

For some reason I had been entrusted to see parts of the pack that I know for a fact other visitors could only dream of.

His hospitality doesn't end there, once we are back at the alpha house, I find myself sitting in on a meeting with Hector, Jaxon and Jace.

Alpha Kaia also present as she sits at her own desk as Luna of this pack. The notorious Dark Phantom pack couldn't be farther from the rumours.

Jaxon and Jacer were discussing the changes in the pack whilst they had been away. The biggest change, even surprising me, how much the red head had taken on.

"There's a new border rota system I would like to implement..." Jaxon states out to his father, who is listening but making it very clear he is still the acting Alpha.

"You can test it for a fortnight and if it seems to work then you can implement it." Hector responds watching Jaxon keenly, his chin resting in his hands.

"The warriors need additional training." Jace also states out, the triplet brothers being identical in appearance, but very different in personalities.

"What do you have in mind?" Alpha Kaia interjects from her desk, before standing up and moving to Alpha Hector's side. Her hands stroking the back of his neck as his hands grip tightly at her hip.

"Training in wolf form.." Jaxon responds for his brother, not at all undeterred by his parent's display of affection. This must be the norm.

"We do that already." The alpha couple respond simultaneously.

"We want to increase wolf form training at the cost of skin on skin combat." Jace finishes, his eyes looking to his brother.

Jaxon would inherit the Dark Phantom pack and Jace the Clear Waters pack...which meant Jace had the opportunity to learn from Jaxon's mistakes when came to taking over his own pack. Something an alpha never gets a chance of...a trial run. He will be able to watch his brother first hand, then when it came to his turn...be better equipped in the running of a pack.

The alpha's I train would kill for Jace's position.

Something about the skin on skin combat being cut didn't sit well with the alpha couple. Alpha Hector and Alpha Kaia look at each other with unease.

"You do know what that would mean?" Alpha Hector turns back to his sons.

"That our wolves would be better prepared for attacks?" Jaxon responds shrugging his shoulders.

"It would cut down Josie's training..."

"She isn't a warrior, she won't need to train." Jaxon bites back.

"Her training assists her with being head of the weapons training..." Alpha Kaia folds her arms in front of her chest.

"Excuse me?" Jaxon places his hand up to stop his own Mother's response. An act that does not go unnoticed by Alpha Hector, a growl echoing through the room. "Who is head of weapons training?" Jace asks perplexed.

"Josie, we appointed her only 6 months ago."

"You did what?" Jaxon speaks the words I was thinking.

Suddenly all eyes turn into a sign of a group mind-link, their bodies remaining still as their eyes lock in on a conversation I am not privy to.

"I can leave..." I offer out.

"No, you are fine Knox." Jaxon responds before his eyes glaze back over. His aura the strongest in the room as he battles against his parents as the future alpha of this pack.
