Fate's Dark Side Chapter 163

Amanda wrapped her arms around me and let me cry. The irony was that she was the cause of my pain and was trying to comfort me.

"You have to forgive yourself, Leo. Tamia has moved on, and she has found love." She said with a definite tone, meaning she knew something I didn't.

I broke the hug, wiped away my tears, and looked into her eyes.

"How do you know this?" I asked her, and she smiled.

"You forget I schooled in the north. Everyone is talking about the soon-to-be lady of the north. The Wolf Lord is madly in love with her. She presides over council matters. She can do whatever she likes. Recently she went to the west unaccompanied to discuss peace with Alpha Jake. She has moved on Leo, and she is happy. Why can't we do the same?" She said. I was hurt to hear that Tamia was free to move around, and she did not bother to come and see me so we could talk things through.

"She has let you go, Leo; you should do the same," Amanda said, and I shook my head.

"If you think I am lying to you, you will see them at the all-region games; I am sure you will have closure then," she said and stood up.

"As for me, I am going back home. I hoped you would come around, but until you get the closure you want, I know you won't come around," She said, and I stopped her from leaving.

"You will be due soon," I said and placed my hand on her bump.

"I do not want to miss out on this. I want to be there. I want to hold your hand through it, Amanda," I said, and she shook her head, wiping away her tears.

"You do not get to pick and choose, Leo. You are either all in or not," she said, and I understood what she was saying and nodded.

"Please stay and give me time. I will try to make it right." I pleaded with her, and she looked around and wiped away her tears.

"You compare me to her all the time, Leo. You always talk about her; you call her name in your sleep, even when we make love. How much more do you want me to endure? I never wanted this for myself. I have done everything to fit into her shoes. I have been training since they took her. I have studied hard and am a work in progress, but you are not encouraging me or giving me the support I need. You are not helping me, Leo. I am going through the transition alone. I can't continue like this." She said, and I buried my face in her neck close to my mark and sucked gently, making her moan.

I knew I was playing dirty, but I was desperate.

"Please give me time, Amanda. I am begging you." I pleaded with her, and she refused weakly with a moan.

"Please," I said and kissed her neck. Black growled, wanting her and I let him slowly take over.

"Please.." I said and kissed her.

She let down her defences, and Black took over. She was our mate, and we were trying to make her stay.

I woke up to someone banging on my front door.

Amanda was sleeping peacefully. I looked at the clock, and it was twelve midnight.

I wondered who would be knocking on my door late in the night.

Amanda woke up, and I asked her to go back to sleep. She had bought a bigger bed for her room so she could roll comfortably on the bed.

I was yet to move her to the room I shared with Tamia, and I doubt I could do that. Buying a new house was looking like the way forward, but I would wait until after the games.

I wasn't hoping to get Tamia back this time; I just wanted to be sure she was genuinely happy.

If I suspected she was being forced by the wolf lord, I planned to help Devin take her from him. She deserved to be happy, even if it wasn't with me.

I wore my shorts and advanced toward the main door.

I was shocked to see it was Kyle. He was drunk and naked.

I let him into my house.

His eyes were swollen and red, and I wondered why he would run in wolf form from his territory to mine.

Was he out of his mind? I went to get him joggers, and he wore them and sat on my couch.

"What is the matter with you? It is twelve midnight. How long did it take you to get here?" I asked him, and he sighed.

"Thirty minutes, I went through the woods," He said, and I knew that was the only explanation for how he could get here in wolf form, still drunk.

It seemed Kyle had taken over from Linda and become the new drunk of our territory.
