The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 136

"You have done the bravest thing that no alpha has been able to do. I am sure a kiss will be better than running off with your fated. Besides, nothing happened between you two; it was just a kiss. Wash his scent off your body and forget about it. You don't have to tell Sylvester about it if a reason doesn't exist. Telling him about it means that it meant something, and from how you are behaving, I know it meant nothing, so let it go," she said, and I nodded.

"Who was it?" She asked me, and I looked at her.

"Devin Corrigan," I said, and her eyes looked like they were going to pop out of the sockets.

"No way!" she exclaimed, and I nodded.

"That explains a lot. The way he behaved at the dinner was weird. You couldn't sense him because of Leo's mark," She said, then stood up and began to pace.

"No wonder he attacked the Volkov estate for you. No wonder people were asking if anything was between you two. Why didn't he claim you as his at the party?" She asked the same question that I asked him.

"He said he wanted the moment to be perfect," I said, and she chuckled.

"His loss. Did the man ever hear of the saying Seize the Moment?" she said, and I did not know what to say.

"I guess not," she concluded.

"Look, darling, dust yourself and move on," She said, and I nodded,

"What if Sylvester finds his fated and makes me share?" I asked her, and she realised what was truly troubling me.

"I am sure you did not sacrifice for the wrong man, but if that ever happens, I know you are strong to handle it," She said and came to sit with me and rub my hand gently.

"I do not think you should worry about things like that. All we can know is the moment, and we must live in it. Tomorrow is beyond our control. Let it take care of itself," she said and lifted my chin gently.

"Today and now, Sylvester loves you; I doubt anything will ever change that," She said and kissed the top of my head.

"Come on, we need to shower and pack our bags. I want to see my man tomorrow morning, and you need Sylvester's comfort, after which you will have to see the doctor because you do not seem fine," she said, and I laughed a bit.

She led me to the shower, and I had a warm bath, after which food was brought to our room by Iris, and we thanked her for her kindness.

Alpha Jake came to check on us, and Avery told him my illness had worsened, and I needed to rest.

We also told him we would like to leave as early as five in the morning.

He thanked us for staying and attending the festival and hoped we would see each other soon.

I assured him the party would not be far, and he promised to attend.

I was restless most of the night, and it took a while before sleep came.

Contrary to what we said would happen, we woke around six in the morning, and I was too sick to do much.

I wondered if it was the rejection that made my sickness worse.

Denis drove us to Gad, where we got into the jet to return to the north.

I heaved most of the time in the car, and my skin was burning.

I wanted to know if Devin was affected too, but somehow I doubted it. I believe it was mainly because of my sickness.

The flight felt like forever, and when we landed in the north, Kappa Wilson, whom I did not like much for slapping me when they brought us to the north, was there to receive us.

He saluted us and treated us with the utmost respect.

I thought he would want to slap me again, and I wanted to tease him about it, but my physical health and sadness did not let me tease him.
