Fate's Dark Side Chapter 105

I sat down on the couch and bowed my head in shame. I was ashamed of myself.

Everything that Amanda said was true. I was selfish and weak. I only thought of myself and believed I could eat my cake and have it.

I wanted to keep my wife and my fated. I thought I was smart. I broke my promises to Tamia and expected her to be okay with it.

All that Amanda said was right, and my eyes welled up in tears. It was a joke.

No matter how hard I tried to be happy, I couldn't be.

Amanda wasn't a bad Luna. She was doing a good job, but to me, it would never be enough because even with the mate bond, I just didn't love her the way I loved Tamia.

Tamia was remarkable, and I was worried about what was happening to her. She wasn't harem material; would Sylvester Volkov see that and give her the honour she deserved? I thought of my Tamia, and all I could do was shed tears.

I decided I would sleep in the living room on the couch, and for the first time, Amanda did not come to trouble me. I knew it was for the best. We both needed the space.

Morning came, and I went to the office without checking on my mate. I knew it was wrong and planned to make it up to her, but I needed to deal with the tax situation quickly before Enforcer Bryce changed his mind and returned to collect sooner than he had announced.

I got to the office and dialled the number Casper had sent me.

A deep voice answered.

"Who is this?" The man asked, and I swallowed before speaking.

"This is Alpha Leonardo Albert from the east. I would like to speak to The Lord or beta on an important matter, please," I said politely, and the man waited before answering.

"They went to a dinner party last night and are yet to return. I will try to patch you through to the beta," he said, and I sighed, glad that I would be speaking to someone up there. The beta was the second most powerful man in our world, so it was okay.

I waited almost two minutes before I heard another deep voice on the phone.

"To what do we owe this call, Alpha Leo?" The beta sounded a bit jovial, giving me the guts to tell him what I wanted to say.

"An Enforcer by the name Bryce Golubev arrived with a council order signed by the Lord to collect on development tax; he promised he would be back to collect in a week. He wasn't friendly about it, either. I want to know why we have been asked to pay this tax?" I asked, and I heard the man curse angrily in the background. Had I stirred the hornet's nest.

"Sorry about the mix-up, Alpha. The Lord did not sanction any tax; I will see to the matter," he said, and I exhaled. I was so glad I did not spring into action and listened to my beta.

"Will that be all? I am actually at a breakfast party and shouldn't be receiving calls," he said, and I thanked him.

"That will be all, sir. Thank you for your time," I said and heard people fighting.

It made me wonder why people would fight at a breakfast party. Before he hung up, I heard a voice that sounded like Tamia's, but it was too faint for me to believe she was the one.

I sat on my couch and relaxed mind. There was really no need for panic.

I began to wonder what was really going on in the north.

I also remembered the village Devin told me of.

Could it be that someone high up there was trying to stir up shit against the Wolf Lord? I knew I needed to be careful henceforth. Things weren't as they seemed.
