Fate's Dark Side Chapter 558

"Yes, Kyle. I have to start from somewhere, and that is where I choose to start from," I told him, and he shook his head.

"You have to get the land back, Leo," he said, and I frowned at him.

"Linda will be mad, Leo. I do not want her to be mad," he said, and I almost laughed.

The man was genuinely afraid of his ex-wife.

"It is one thing holding on to her land because of the people on it; losing it to strangers is something else, Leo. Theodore will kill me. Please, Leo. Even if it is Linda's portion while the rest of my pack settles in Mountain, it will be kind," he said, and my eyes widened. I exclaimed before he could take it back.

"What!" I said, and Kyle shook a bit, then composed himself.

"You can't bring your people here," I said, already knowing how congested we were.

"Please, Leo, they have nowhere to go; they are just over a hundred. I have told the rest to seek asylum with Alpha Corrigan. He did not answer my call. I guess he is still mad at me for something I did. But I am sure you can talk to him because two hundred people are on their way there," he said, and I felt my eyes widen as if they were about to pop out of their sockets. It was Kyle being Kyle again.

"You did what?" I asked, and he was silent.

"It is your duty, Leo. You are head…" he said, and I interrupted him.

"What I have told you I will do is what my duty is. What you are asking for is a favour," I corrected him, and he shook his head.

"You took Max and his people in, no questions asked," he argued, and I raised an eyebrow at him.

"Really, Kyle?" I said, and he nodded.

The guy had forgotten what he said to me the last time he came to my settlement.

"Max is my friend," I said, and he looked confused.

I hated to be the one to rub it in, but Kyle seemed to have something wrong with his brain, so I decided to explain.

"The last time you came to this pack, you insulted my mate, then insulted me and told me we could never be friends. You said you would never come to me for anything again, and I shouldn't count on you either," I said, and shame washed through his face.

He knew he had fucked up with those words. He bowed his head.

"You know I did not mean those things, Leo. I was only angry that it seemed you were siding with Linda. You have always been my friend…" he said and paused. Then looked at Amelia.

"I am sorry. I apologise for the things I must have said out of anger," he said, and that was the first time I would see Kyle genuinely apologise for something. I wasn't going to get him off the hook quickly.

"I will think about it, but I cannot house a hundred-plus people. I have to reach out to the north to find homes for them until we solve the mystery of the silver people.

Meanwhile, I will call Devin to discuss your plight. I hope you did not do something unforgivable to him. We all know Devin isn't as forgiving as I am." I said, and Max laughed.

"In the meantime, try not to piss off more people," I said, and Kyle nodded like a child.

He was desperate and worried. He didn't want his pack back; he feared Theodore and Linda the most.

I took out my phone to explain what had happened to Kyle to Theodore before springing into action. I planned to call Devin and plead for the Brent pack members that were on their way to him.

I also planned to call Alexie to schedule a meeting and discuss this with him. I knew he wasn't part of these people; I could feel it, but there was a connection somewhere, and I wanted to start with him.
