Fate's Dark Side Chapter 560
"Linda is so excited that we are coming to the east. I think she built a friendship bond with Amelia. Amelia is all she talks about. And honestly, when you guys left yesterday, she cried.
I can't wait to come to the east too. A change of scenery and a mystery to solve is an amazing adventure to look forward to. Those council meetings have bored the hell out of me," He said, laughing, and I was happy with how lightly they were taking the matter. I hoped it was as light as they made it seem because truth be told, I did not need an adventure right now. I wanted a wedding, children and a happily-ever-after, not this silver nonsense.
We said goodbye, and I hung up.
"How did it go?" Amelia asked me. She was sitting at the foot of the bed and looking expectant.
She, too, did not seem bothered.
The straight face and pitiful look were for Kyles's benefit so we won't seem insensitive. I went to her and gently touched her nose. She pouted and smiled.
"You are already wearing your luna shoes, Moonlight. You cared for Kyle the way a luna should, even though you had all the reasons not to. I am proud of you," I said, and she beamed at me.
"The call went well. He will break the news to his wife, and they will take the three hundred people heading to the south. So I need to call Devin to send them to the north when they arrive in Greenville. I also have to ensure he provides proper transportation for them." I said, and she agreed with me feeling bad for the displaced people.
I called Devin, and he answered on the first ring.
"Leo, you remembered me today," he said, sounding jovial on the phone, and I chuckled.
"How are you, Devin?" I asked, and he smiled.
"Better than I was last week," He said, referring to his low mood when we were at the meeting. I hoped Susan would sort her shit out because Devin likes her, and she has a better chance of being happy with him.
Sylvester was gone. No man gets with Tamia and looks back; besides, she lost her chance with the man, and now he and Tamia are fated—a sporadic occurrence.
Amelia and I were a rare occurrence, but I was grateful for it. Rarely do people find their mates, but I found mine twice. I was indeed blessed the second time. I hoped Susan would come through for Devin eventually.
I told Devin what happened to Kyle, and he laughed a bit before getting serious.
"That bastard sure is having it hard these days." Devin wasn't laughing at the situation but at Kyle, who was caught in it.
"Of course, I will help them, but I can't take all two hundred. We have western displaced people here too. It is only a matter of time before our system collapses." He said, and his kindness moved me. He was willing to help even though Kyle had pissed him off.
"No need. I figured you might have the same issue as me, so I spoke to Theodore, and he said they would have Christian accommodate them in the north. All you have to do is send them to the north, maybe charter a plane or something that will take them there," I said, and he sighed.
"That can be arranged. I will do that when they arrive but thank you for the heads up. Before I send them off to the north, they will need some comfort and pampering. I will ask Lukman to see to their welfare," Devin said, sounding as kind as always. Although not passive like me and quick to react to provocation, he was the kinder of us two.
"Thank you," I said, and he chuckled.
"We must do what we must." He said. "So what are we going to do about these other fuckers? I heard they did a number on you guys in the north. Pumping silver into the air and shit. Fuck, Leo, that was a narrow escape," he said, and I pinched the bridge of my nose.
