Fate's Dark Side Chapter 742

"I could not run with you because I did not know my fate. I wanted you to be somewhere they wouldn't search for you. I told Karen to take you somewhere I wouldn't find you. I did not want to give you up if they ever caught me. I later found that Yuri got to her. She was killed. I would have remained and searched for you, but I couldn't. Too many people had my pictures, and I did not want to lead them to you. My properties and resources had been seized. I had nothing. The head Alpha of the West had taken everything from me to smoke me out. I was stranded and hopeless. I could not do much hiding and trying to survive. Please, Amelia," She said nervously, rushing through her words.

It seemed she had much to say and needed me to hear her out. It also seemed she was afraid I might say something hurtful to her. I held my tongue to allow her the opportunity to say all she could without interruption. I had always been a good listener. I planned to put it to good use.

"All this while, I never stopped thinking of you. The only things that kept me going were the hope of finding you and my hope for revenge until yesterday when I saw you and your brothers on the television. Please. I have no excuse; I just wanted to see you," She said, wiping away her tears. She was shaking nervously. I could see her fear. Even though she was an Alpha breed, the fear radiated.

I looked at her for a while.

I could not be sentimental over something I do not understand. I could not be emotional about someone I did not know. I was suddenly numb. Maybe now that I had life growing inside me, I would understand the bond better, but staring at her, I felt nothing.

There was so much to do; I did not want to waste time voicing emotions that no longer mattered to me. She wasn't there when I needed her the most. I was alone. I grew up alone, and I moved about alone. It was hard, but I survived until I found Leo, and I wasn't alone anymore. I had a family now. There was no point lashing out.

"I cannot say anything that would make you happy, but I am glad to see you. At least I know what you look like, and Yuri didn't get to you…."I said, and she did not let me finish my sentence when she rushed at me and wrapped her arms around me.

"Amelia," she said, holding me tightly and weeping. I stood still. Reluctant to wrap my arms around her. I was numb.

"I am so sorry. They watched me for so long that I could not search for you. They hoped I would lead them to you, so I could not search. When I finally slipped off their radar, I dared not resurface again. I have been living like a madwoman for many years now. Hoping, one day, I will find you and your brothers. Please, Amelia," She said, and I did not know what she was begging for, but I lifted my hands and wrapped my arms around her.

She needed comfort to ease her aching heart. I wanted to be calm, so numbness would do for me now.

She broke the hug eventually and led me to sit with her on the couch while the Omegas served food.

No matter how I felt, I knew I needed to eat. I wasn't in the mood to catch up, but I will try.

While we ate, Alexei and Clay joined us.

It was clear they could not stay away. The way they looked at my mother made me feel cheated. Whatever she had with them, she did not have with me. It was a pity. Though this was their first time seeing each other, she was a mother to them.

Yuri had robbed me deeply. He deserved what was coming, and I hoped Leo would allow me to join them because I wanted my pound of flesh from the bastard. If anyone had to pay for all my trouble, it was Yuri and his cult, and I planned to make him pay painfully.
