Fate's Dark Side Chapter 121

The people of Brighton needed a break. It was sad I couldn't give them that.

We arrived at Mountain on time. I expected Leo was waiting for me in his office. I had to commend the man for being civil.

We were offered drinks, and I opted to drink water instead. Beta Casper took us to Leo's office, but I asked Jake to wait so I could speak to Leo privately.

I entered Leo's office, and he was looking bedraggled. His beard had overgrown, and he had dark circles. I could tell he was not sleeping, but it wasn't my business.

"To what do I owe this visit, Alpha Devin?" He said. I did not know if he was in the right mood to discuss my concerns. I knew Tamia was the reason for his appearance. I did not understand why he did not treat her well when they were together. He must have thought she would always be with him hence why he accepted Amanda. It was his loss.

"Alpha Leo," I said.

"I do not know where to begin, but I need your help," I added, and he was attentive.

"I do not know how good your relationship is with Volkov, but I need you to help me inform Tamia that she is my fated," I said, and he exclaimed.

I knew I sounded like a madman, and it wasn't far from the truth, but I needed her to know so she would know that her fated was out there and he was waiting for her. I was hopeful that would buy me time.

" I do not think that will be possible. She is Sylvester's property now. I, too, wish I could take her back, but we both know the Wolf Lord never lets go of his trophies." He said, and I realised he had not heard of the wedding.

"I am desperate. Please help me. My wolf and I have been suffering. You know what it is like. You have a fated. Every day I lay awake wishing I had taken her away from that dinner and dealt with the consequences later. That way, she would have been mine, and Sylvester wouldn't have her because she wouldn't be in the east to begin with. Please, Leo, I will give anything for you to tell her the truth about me," I pleaded desperately, and he leaned forward.

"Why are you desperate? I told you Sylvester sounded possessive of her. I doubt he will let her go. She is his trophy. The best advice I could give you is to try and visit their annual sports in four months. The trophies are allowed to attend. I plan on attending so I can see her too. She no longer bears my mark. She would recognise you, and then both of you can decide..." he said, but i interrupted him and shook my head.

"I do not have that much time, Leo," I said and bowed.

"Sylvester will marry and claim her on the blue moon night. They have celebrated their engagement," I said, and he exclaimed. I looked at him. His hands were shaking, and tears formed in his eyes immediately. It was clear he had not let go, and I had come to the wrong person for help.

"What?" he said in a low voice. I could hardly make out the sound if it weren't for the fact that I could read lips.

"They are getting married, Leo. I am desperate." I said.

"In that case, I will advice you to let her go," he said, and I shook my head and banged my hand on the table.

"Don't ask me to do what you couldn't do, Leo. I just want you to help me." I pleaded, my hands shaking.

"Please, I will give anything.." I said, and he shook his head.

"Did it occur to you that she is in love with him and wants to spend the rest of her life with him? Tamia isn't the type to be forced into a union. I can't take that bliss from her by telling her about you. I can't. I know what happened to me with Amanda. My bliss was taken from me the moment I caught Amanda's scent. It ruined my perfect life. It ruined everything that I held dear, Devin. I can't allow Tamia to go through that kind of turmoil. It is easy to chase after your fated if you aren't in love, but it is torture when you have already given your heart to another. No matter how strong the pull was, I could not stop loving Tamia. I still love her, and I always will. If she is getting married to Sylvester, I will advise you to reject the bond and let her be. Please. She does not need to be torn between her heart's desire and fate. It wasn't easy for me; I do not want her to have the same experience," he pleaded with me. Although the news seemed to break his heart, he was still looking out for her.
