Fate's Dark Side Chapter 90

"Don't you think your mother should do it? She is luna," I said, and he frowned at me.

"She isn't my Luna. Her era has passed," He said, stroking my hand and kissing my neck.

"I am asking you to handle the menu because we will host some guests in two nights. I want to officially announce our engagement, introduce you to the council, and pack Alphas in the north and west. I need you to pick the venue for the event too," he said. I did not know how Stephanie would feel about me doing this, but I did not want to bring it up.

After what Sylvester did to his brother because of me, I did not want to cause any more damage.

"Okay, I will try," I said, and he smiled and kissed my neck, making a light moan escape my lips. He had that effect on me.

"I will need a little more than that," He said, gently nibbling my earlobe. He knew what he was doing, and I knew that was also why he had called me to the office. He was a bit stressed out.

"Are you sure that is all you want to discuss?" I teased him, and he continued what he was doing.

I headed to the Beta's wing after I had finished with Sylvester. He was a bit wild in the office, which drained me a bit. I also needed to do something about my weakness because it was telling on me.

I wondered if it was telling on Leo the same way.

I hoped not because Bane never fought fair, and he would need all his strength to push back.

I tried not to think of Leo and knocked on Avery's door.

She was there with Linda. I heard their voices.

"It is open," She said, and I walked in.

Avery was scolding Linda about something, and I wondered what it was.

"What is going on?" I asked, and Avery looked at me.

They were sitting in the sitting section of the bedroom with tea, juice and biscuits. Avery was living the life of a queen.

"Linda really wants to mess her life up. We have all been given second chances, and she has thrown hers away," I said and frowned at Linda, who looked away. It was clear she was uninterested.

"Kyle maltreated you but making another man pay for his mistakes is totally wrong, Linda," Avery said, and I knew it had to do with Theodore.

"What happened?" I asked, and she looked at me.

"Theodore is going to the dinner party with Lilly," Avery said, and I frowned at them.

"Linda moved out of his room three nights ago, saying she isn't interested in anything serious and wants to just be friends. Theodore did not want to have a friends-with-benefits arrangement with her; he wanted something more serious, so he was pissed off with her. He isn't even talking to her," Avery said.

"So, is that why he is going with Lilly?" I asked.

"Sylvester told him to take Lilly as his plus one. Lilly wanted to go to the party but could not go without an invite, and since Theodore has no date, Sylvester asked him to take her as his plus one," Linda explained, and I could not believe how stupid Linda was.

"You clearly want to remain stuck in the past and remain unhappy. We can't help you with that. No one can, but it will be wise if you move on. You are too damn young to be miserable." I said, and she shook her head

"Neither of you is fated to these men. What do you think will happen when they find they're fated? I can't afford to be a victim twice in my life." Linda said and looked at me.

"I can understand why you will risk getting burned again. Leo was a darling, and he loved you until the very end. I wouldn't be surprised if his heart still beats for you," She said and looked at Avery.

"But I can't understand you. Max treated you like shit, and he abused you, yet you want to give it a try again?" She asked.
