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

much as I want to stay, I know I can't...not now. Not without putting the people of the Dark Phantom pack members in danger. I can't have their safety on my conscious, not when I put it at risk just by being here.

A ring on the front doorbell pulls me out of my thoughts. Aubrey answers the door and walks back into see me in the living room.

"Kaia....the head pack doctor is here to see you..." She considers me for a moment with worry.

"I see...well the baby needs to be checked over, it's important to rule out any minor issue at this early stage."

"I don't want to waste your time."

"Kaia, I am a doctor... my time is never wasted, even if it really is." He chuckles to himself, I'm lost on his own joke.
