Fate's Dark Side Chapter 456

I stood in front of the mirror naked and looked at myself.

Compared to other people, my eyes did look weird. I was very skinny, but it wasn't my fault. Living on an empty stomach was hard, and this was the result. I knew I would get there soon.

"Don't worry, Amelia. We will gain some weight. I can't wait to be at full capacity," Aurora said, and I giggled.

She was just as skinny as I was. I noticed we really did look hungry, and maybe that was why Alpha Leo rejected us. Something Leah said caught my attention.

She said he had a wife and then a fated, so why were we fated?

Although he had broken the bond with me, I wondered why we had a bond in the first place. I was tempted to ask him, but I knew it would be dangerous, and it might cost me my job because he was done with the bond. He could not feel it, and I knew it. I left the mirror and took a shower. I freshened up and went to make myself useful.

Alpha Leo did not return until late in the night. I waited for him too.

He entered the house looking tired and had some documents in hand. He had somehow brought work home. I wondered if he ever rested.

He sat on the couch in the living area and unbuttoned his shirt to relax. All the while, he did not speak to me. There was an awkwardness in the air, so I opted to break the ice.

"Should I serve you tea or food or..." I said, and he shook his head before I could finish.

"I do not need anything," He said, and I went to sit at the dining table.

"You creep me out when you do that, Amelia; please go to bed. I can take care of myself," He said, and even though his tone was gentle, I felt it. I did not know why it got to me, but it did.

I got off the chair and headed towards the room.

"Wait," he said, and I waited.

"I did not mean it that way. It has nothing to do with your eyes. It's just that you sit there and just stare at me. I do not like it," he explained, and I felt it was kind of him to try.

"It's okay, Alpha; I will go to bed now," I said, and he shook his head.

"We need to talk," he said, and those words were repeated.

I stood, and he told me to sit on a couch. So I sat on the one-sitter.

"You had no respect for my guest. I know she was unwelcomed, but you are supposed to be nice to my guests. Why were you acting possessive?" he asked me, and I did not know how to answer his question.

"You are sending the wrong message, Amelia. I have no bond with you. I know you are yet to accept, but that is the truth. Acting possessive of me is wrong. I do not want a mate bond. If I am going to be in a relationship, it should be on my terms, not because fate wills it.

It would be best if you were not hanging onto the bond, Amelia. Do not let it dictate to you who you should be with. I am sure you will move on easily once you accept it," he said, and I did not know if he wanted me to say anything or just listen.

I had two concerns, my bond and my job. My job was the most important right now, so I held my tongue.

"Accept the bond, go out and meet people. Forget about me, Amelia. I cannot love you. Everything I am doing is because I know you have had a hard life. You look it. I do not know what happened with you, and I won't ask you, but I do not want your hardship to continue; that is why I have done all I have done. Though you might be a bit wild, I also noticed you are an honest and good woman. Do not do this to yourself. Do not hang around a man hoping he will love you back. Build your self-esteem and self-worth and move on," He said gently, and I felt tears stinging my eyes.
