Fate's Dark Side Chapter 235
Leo chuckled and looked at me.
"I am a joke," he said, and I frowned.
"During one of our arguments in the past, I once told Tamia it wasn't my fault that I found my fated, and she could not understand. I honestly believed I did well, and I tried. Now I realise I was weak. After seeing you give up your fated for her without thinking about it and hearing that she did the same, I now realise I was weak and stupid," he said, and I smiled at him.
"It is okay. We are all where we are meant to be," I said, and he nodded in agreement, but his eyes said otherwise.
"Can you tell me anything about Ramsey? He seemed a bit forceful," I said, trying to make my questions flow into the conversation.
I wanted him to answer me honestly. If I asked him about Ramsey directly, he would be suspicious and want to protect the man for Amanda's sake. I could not allow that. Establishing him in our discussion on Amanda and Tamia had given me room to inquire more about him without raising Leo's suspicion.
"He is an obnoxious prick. He schemed with his daughter to get rid of Tamia. The worst of his schemes was when he compelled a man to attack Amanda and told me Tamia sent him to kill her when he was caught. I knew Tamia could be ruthless, but she would not kill anyone for something like that. Although Amanda got the best of me, I overreacted in the process. When the eastern Alphas joined forces with Devin, the sleaze bag remained with us. When the alphas returned to me, they were surprised Ramsey never left. I found out he was the one that instigated them to join Devin. I have yet to confront him, but I do not trust the man. My opinion," he said quickly, and I realised Leo wasn't a stupid man. He was very wise.
"Well, since you have established that on your own, it is safe for me to tell you this," I said and looked at him.
"Ramsey was the one that orchestrated the attack on Gad that led to me attacking the east," I said, and Leo gasped.
Slowly I saw rage begin to show in his eyes. I could see him destroy Ramsey. He was livid.
"Do you know why?" he asked, and I could hear a low growl. He wasn't weak at all. I felt his wolf, and Leo was a very powerful man; he just seemed like the peace-loving type.
"That is why I am telling you this. I was hoping we would work together to uncover the culprits," I said, and he was still.
"I do not need to overthink; he had been trying to get rid of my wife. The arsehole knew you would attack and was hoping I would give up Tamia or she would get killed," he said, and I shook my head.
"That is too broad, Leo. I need you to take your emotions out of it and investigate. It is too specific. If what you are saying is true, it would have been a dangerous gamble because what guarantees that it wouldn't be his daughter? This Ramsey guy is too smart not to be deliberate and specific. We need to dig deep to find out why he would do such a thing and then frame Kyle for it. Why didn't he frame Maxwell or any other Alpha? Why Kyle? Do you think you can help me figure it out?" I asked Leo, and he nodded.
"I will gladly do it, your eminence," He said with a promise, and I was happy. He had a bone to pick with Ramsey, and I doubted Amanda could make him change his mind. We shook on it.
"I see you will be on the rugby team," Leo said, and I could see that he knew what was happening.
"I guess Max and Kyle are not out of danger yet," He said, laughing, and I joined in.
"They wanted to chicken out, but I lied that it was compulsory," Leo said, and we laughed. We weren't the only ones that found their suffering satisfying. Leo did too.
