Fate's Dark Side Chapter 469

I was still laughing at the matter when a call came in from Maxwell. I answered immediately.

"Hello," I said, and he sounded frantic.

"My pack..." he said, and I could hear him as he seemed to be moving fast.

"I am heading to Mountain with the rest of my pack members," he said, and I was shocked. I sat up immediately.

"What happened!" I asked him.

"Another Alpha challenged me. He had some of my pack members with him. Remember I was complaining that I was losing pack members a year ago? Well, they returned with the douchebag," he said, and I remembered it.

"It got worse, but I kept silent because I did not want to trouble anyone. I thought I could handle it. This morning he gave me an Alpha challenge, and I lost. I did not want to take it, but I had no choice. He has taken over the land and everything. He also cheated," He said, and I wondered who this Alpha was.

"Do you know his name?" I asked

"Alexei Kuznetsov," he said, and I did not need anyone to tell me it was a northern name. What was a northern alpha doing in the east and setting challenges?

"He is from the north," I said.

"Yes, but his Luna is from my pack," He said, and I was surprised that a pack member could do this to him.

"Which family?" I asked him.

"My cousin, Alia," He said, and I knew he was fucked.

If that was the case, the man had the right to challenge him for the pack.

Max's luna, Michelle, had passed away a few months ago, and now he had lost his pack. Karma was a bitch. If only he had stayed with Avery, maybe things would have been different. Michelle did a number on him and turned his men against him. It was inevitable he would lose support in his pack.

"Alright, I will be expecting you," I said and got up to go back home.

The Alexei man had not broken any law, but I felt terrible about this development.

What if he decided that he wanted to challenge other packs? I might be overthinking it, and Max might have just been unfortunate. So I decided to relax and call a meeting for alphas in the east to get a feel of the Alexei guy.

Max had hit rock bottom. It wasn't going to be easy for him to start from scratch. I had a small land close by. I hoped he would be able to settle there with his pack members. This was the part of being head alpha that I hated. Everyone's problems always become my problem.

I entered my house, and Amelia was lying on the couch reading a book. I tried not to look worried, but the look on her face showed that I was busted.

"What is the matter?" She asked me, and although I was worried, I relaxed slightly. There was no need to transfer all the tension I felt to her.

"It's okay," I said and sat on a couch. She got up and joined me where I sat.

"Would you like tea?" she asked, and I chuckled.

It was only Amelia that would think tea would ease tension.

"No, but thank you. Something happened to my friend, and I am still in shock. I will be okay," I said, and she nodded and got up.

I watched her walk to the kitchen, and she was making the tea, regardless.

She finished and joined me on the couch. I was about to reach for it in her hand when she put the mug to her lips and took a sip.

"You said you didn't want any. This one's for me," She said, and I started laughing because she got me there.

Eventually, she let me have the tea, and its aroma helped me relax, but I was still worried for Max. I did not know how he would cope.

"Max lost an Alpha challenge and his pack and land," I told her, and she gasped.

She had heard of him in passing but had never seen him. Max had been going through so much lately that he was scarce. I guess I would see a lot of him now. I hope he wouldn't ask me to help him bully his in-law because the guy had a right by marriage.
