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

Chapter 0108

Alora POV

The man before me, the man holding my hand is my Father. I know it. I can feel it.

I don't need a blood test to prove it. I believe it.

I can feel it deep within me...he was who I was meant to be raised by. I was meant to be with him and Kala.

What happened...why was he told I was dead. Was there some kind of mix up in the hospital. There must have been.... 1

Kaia may not feel it yet, but I can. Maybe because my wolf is weaker, it isn't able to protect me as hers can, but I can feel the connection between the three of us. How this is how it has always meant to be.

I'm scared, scared of what might come but a happy scared. This is happy news, I have found my father. No one can replace the happiness of my parents growing up, but having found my birth father...I feel a step closer to being home. I can even see myself in him, see some resemblance between the two of us.

I was his, there was no doubting that.

He had black longish hair that was greying to the sides and a scar across his eye. Was that a battle scar... Kaia mentioned she was sent away when their pack was attacked, is that from that attack.

I want to know everything, I want to know it all...but I'm conscious I am entering into their duo family...it's been just the two of them for so long...I need to take my time.

Especially with Kaia, I don't want to overwhelm her. So much she has been through has already been because of me.

His reaction to this news is better than I could have ever imagined. He wants to celebrate and excitement floods through me until I see Kaia stumble to the sofa.

Samson enters and automatically stands by her side. She was pained. she was distressed. But he couldn't see that.

He lets go of my hand to walk out of the room, not glancing at Kala's state, as she starts to crumble before me.

"Father!" She roars, an aura rolling off her aimed at her own father, our father. I suddenly felt as if I was intruding on a family argument.

Even Beckett turns his soft jubilant face at my return turning into the thunderous glare of an alpha...a scary alpha. As that aura is thrusted onto Kala.

I can see the alpha he once was, the alpha he is. I very much believe he could be scary to go against at

times.

I've never seen anything like it. I would crumble under his aura, I know I would.

My wolf quietly whimpers in the shadows, uncertain, but I reassure her that Kala is strong...and I was

proved right when his aura is dropped and he rushes over to her..

With a limp...was that also from his battle years.

He comforts Kaia, as tears start to fall down her face. I was intruding now and need to leave. I take a side step away, creeping out of the sitting room until he starts to talk about her brith, about our birth.

He talks about how Kaia was born first, then our mother ran into complications...how she lost too much blood.

How I was born but in his grief he believed the claims that I was dead. He must have been heartbroken, to lose a mate.....and a child at the same time. Goddess knows how he survived, how he managed to raise Kaia all alone for all these years. He mentions her name...Aliki. My Mother was called Aliki.

"We will do the blood tests, but I think you already know don't you. That Alora has come home, that Alora is your twin sister." He looks to Kaia before turning to look at me. Even without the blood test he can feel it too...feel the connection between us. Family.

"Yes Father." Kaia responds with a slight final sob before standing up and wiping away her tears. They both hold hands, mind-linking, before Beckett extends his hand towards me and I hesitantly join them.

He takes a moment to look at us both, a soft smile forming upon his face. In my peripheral vision I notice Samson leave the room, glancing back at Kaia before stepping out.

I look down to Kaia's hand that was holding mine before looking up at her. Her eyes were sore but held a determination within them, a spark I know I didn't have

Beckett pulls us both towards him, wrapping his arms around us.

"We are stronger when we are united, strongest together...remember that my girls."
