Fate's Dark Side Chapter 24

I wrote, and tears streamed down my face with the last words. I did not want to admit to myself that she wasn't coming back. Even though I dared not try to take her back, this was the least I could do to make sure she was alright.

I folded the letter in an envelope and linked Casper, my Beta, to meet me at my house.

Casper arrived a few minutes after I had called him, and he was surprised to see the empty living room, with nothing but a table and chair.

"How is Amanda managing?" he asked, concerned for my fated.

"I sent her to spend some time with her father", I replied.

"Damn, Leo. You look like shit," Casper said, and I nodded.

"I feel like it, too," I said, and he had a sad smile.

"Thanks to her sacrifice, they didn't wipe us out. She will always be my Luna," He told me, speaking his truth, and I nodded because the same went for me.

"This is all Kyle's fault; he shouldn't be allowed to go free for bringing such cruelty upon us. The Dark Alpha only attacks when he is taunted. Why did Kyle attack a pack in the Western region?" He asked me, and I sighed.

"The bastard denies doing it," I replied.

"If he didn't, then someone did it in his name because the Dark Alpha's claims check out. The attackers said the east was bringing an end to his reign in the west. They claim they were trying to liberate the west from his oppression. The men that were captured said it was Alpha Kyle who ordered them to do it. They were his warriors, Alpha," Casper said because I asked him to investigate Devin and Kyle.

"What about Devin?" I asked.

"His excuse checks out. The north attacked the south because they knew of their alliance with the east," He said, and I growled. I wanted to find his faults so I could go after the bastard, Bane or whatever he called himself; I was sure he bled the same as all of us. I would have found a way to enact my revenge.

"I need you to mail this to the north," I said, handing him my letters. Casper looked worried and afraid of the content of the letter.

"Do not worry, Casper, it is a farewell to my wife and a plea to the Wolf Lord," I said.

He collected it and left.

Three days later, I learned Devin was around, and we were all summoned for a meeting. I was eager to go. I might have given him some respect in the past, but he didn't have my respect anymore.

I arrived at the party, and there was an uproar. Everyone was still grieving their loss; even Max was grieving Avery. Sometimes I believed he was psychotic.

I knew he did not treat his luna well, I wondered why he was grieving her, but it wasn't my place to ask.

I saw Devin where he was listening to everyone's complaints, and I walked up to him. He was about to speak when I punched him hard in the face.

"That is for flirting with my wife," I said, wanting to do it since the night he danced with her. I sent another one again.

"That is for abandoning your duty and making me lose my wife in the process," I said, and he was in shock.

"Tamia is dead?" He asked, looking pained to his soul.

"No, arsehole, she was taken as a trophy," I said, and other Alphas came to hold me. I watched rage rise in his eyes.

"They took her? We must get her back, Leo," he said

"You and what Army? After what happened in our region, we should lick our wounds and move on. There is no way we can defeat that madman. We have lost enough. We lost things we can never recover; people we love. There is no point walking down that road again," Alpha Christian said, and others agreed with him.

"The Wolf Lord does not rest. He will find a reason to return until he owns this region fully," Devin said, and I laughed.

"He already owns this region. Why do you think he took the Lunas of the three most powerful packs in the east? To stake his claim. I know we will hear from him soon," I said to stupid Devin.
