Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond
Chapter 0390

That's when a heated red glow emitted from my hand and he suddenly stopped groaning in pain. It just took over me then..." Josie stops abruptly, her hands rubbing down her face as she continues to take in what had happened. "What took over you?" Kaia whispers, as if a loud noise would stop Josie from speaking further.

"An overwhelming urge to check his head, that I could sense the energy levels of his major organs."

Dumbstruck, that is the only way to explain both Kaia's and Hector's faces.

Both have that deer in headlights look in their eyes, both swallowing hard at the same time to regain their voices.

"You could sense his head?"

"I could see his head like an xray...well not like an xray but I could feel the energy and I was telling me that he was okay, that he didn't have a head injury... that he would survive. It's hard to explain, I can't see it...but I can sense it. Why is that not similar to you?"

"No, it would seem you have been gifted a new power Josie. Your wolf isn't white after all, it would be fitting that you had a different ability to me." Kaia responds, her eyes darting to Hector's.

The phone rings again, Hector groaning out in disapproval once more as he walks over to the phone and cuts the call. Only for his mobile phone to start ringing.

"You should get that, it might be important." Josie murmurs.

"It's probably just Ezra making sure you are both back safely, besides you have our undivided attention right now. This is important. You are important." Hector states clearly out to Josie, her shoulders relaxing at his words.

She cared, she cared what they would think, what they would say. As for me, I understand now why Ezra was hesitant to tell me things, why he held back but still told me enough.

I never believed in the white wolf fairy tale but seeing Josie's ability for myself...I'm starting to understand what Hector has been up against. What external powers have tried to get to his mate. Why Ezra had started to leave some breadcrumbs for me to follow. "What now?" I ask out, keen to put measures in place to ensure Josie's safety.

"Nobody knows...right? Nobody saw except for you and Knox?"

"The boy, but he was delusional from the pain that I doubt he would even remember it even if he did see anything." I respond to Hector.

"Then for now, we remain calm. We look back into our research and consider testing your abilities just to get a better understanding of it.

But as long as nobody else saw, then there is no need for this to be discussed outside of this office."

"Ezra, Ezra will know something had happened. He had told me things, things that I had pushed for." I quirk an eyebrow, holding Hector's glare. I might as well be honest, Ezra will only tell him anyway.

"I understand." He simply nods in response, his eyes turning a hint of black however...my wolf smirking under the surface...my wolf likes to challenge.

"What things?" Josie turns to me, her face quizzical, as she looks up at me with this gorgeous grey eyes that now have the soft red circle around the pupil. Thinking about it, Kaia has the same...that should have been the first clue into why Josie's wolf presented itself to her under such heartbreaking circumstances.

"It doesn't matter, not right now." I give Josie a reassuring soft smile, as the back of my hand strokes at her cheek.

What is the phrase; walk before you can run. I have the good sense to not overshare too much with Josie right now, not when she has all of this to consider.

"Then we need not act..." Kaia nods to herself as she moves towards her own desk. The movement seems to surprise Josie as she gasps out, gripping at my top.

"Petra. Petra saw me...she saw me assess and heal Kieran."

"You are certain?" I growl out, this is what I was afraid of.

"Yes, yes she saw me..." Josie bites down on her bottom lip, worry clearly consuming her.
