Fate's Dark Side Chapter 297

"We can't lose more than we already have. We cannot continue to let Ramsey run circles around us. I hope you know what we need to do?" I told my wolf, and he growled.

"We need to be the opposite of who we are; we need to be ruthless and unforgiving when dealing with the bastard. It means dealing with Amanda too, even though she is carrying our pups. As things are, that pregnancy seems more like a trap than a coincidence because, to be honest, we weren't ready," I told my wolf, and he growled some more.

"I do not want Amanda anymore; she has betrayed us," Black said firmly. I was determined to help him keep that resolve.

We returned to the room, and Amanda was awake in bed; her eyes were puffy, and she looked worried. I did not say a word to her. I went back under the covers and lay down. Amanda looked troubled and stared at me, still sitting in bed.

"Tamia is never coming back to you, Leo; you must move on. You can't keep punishing me like this. It isn't my fault that we are fated," She said to me, and I almost raised my hands at her because she had said the very words I said to my wife.

I sat up in bed feeling complete rage, and Black keeping his promise, receded to the back of my mind, promising not to interfere this time.

"But it is your fault that you came into my home and broke my marriage. It is your fault that you could not speak the truth to the alphas when your father lied that I had accepted you and taken advantage of you on the balcony. It is your fault that you sowed discord between Tamia and me by telling lies and pitting us against each other. It is your fault, Amanda," I said, and she shook her head, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"No, Leo, it is Volkov's fault that she is not in your life. He attacked the region and took her from you as tribute. Had he not attacked our region, she would have still been with you. You have an issue with him," she said, and I giggled. Knowing her father caused the incident that led to the attack made me giggle.

"You think Tamia and I wouldn't have defeated our attackers?" I asked her and laughed.

"She is a true Luna, a warrior. She might be a delta breed, but your alpha wolf has nothing on her, Amanda. Tamia and I have weathered storms and conquered packs together. We were a formidable force. I did not defeat your father alone, Amanda; Tamia was by my side. She fought, planned, organised and did everything to ensure we got to the top and do you know why?" I asked her, and she shook her head.

"Your father killed her parents, and I promised I would disgrace him, and he knows, hence why he has been silent. Tamia and I dared to lead the east, and we did a good job at it, so do not think Volkov's warriors stood a chance against us because they didn't. Tamia left because of you," I said, and she bowed her head and began to cry.

"You wanted to be head Luna of the east so badly that you forgot to look up the requirements," I said to her, feeling thoroughly disgusted now that Black wasn't in the picture.

"She has forgiven everything and moved on. Why can't you?" she asked quietly, and I felt her wolf coming to the surface, calling onto Black.

Arla had a way of calling on Black when things got heated between Amanda and me, and this was one of those times. Still, Black was keeping his promise and remained unresponsive.

"Tamia can move on because she does not have to live in the same house or wake up next to you. To me, you represent everything that went wrong in my life, Amanda. I can never love you because you wrecked my home with lies. I do not know why your father would help you like this. Did he not love you enough to want you to have a man that is truly yours? Instead, he helped you force your way into my home to become my mistress, playing second fiddle to my wife. If I did not know him, I would say he did not father you," I said to her, and she looked at me, and tears streamed down her face profusely. Her eyes looked haunted, as if I had peeled a hidden scar.
