The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 148

"What will we do now?" Rex asked me, still mourning our loss.

"I do not know, but I think we shouldn't be quick to move on. Tamia does not like to share, and knowing the history of the Volkovs, they always have more than one woman. I plan on waiting a bit to see how things go between them." I told my wolf, and he was silent.

I wasn't going to actively try to separate them, but I was afraid she might lose on his side too. There was no way he could be different from his father. I had to make sure I remained available a little longer for her sake.

"I say we wage war and take her from him. The goddess made her for us. She is ours. He has stolen what is ours," Rex said, and tears streamed down my face.

"She is in love with him, Rex. We can't beat that. The only thing we can do is wait them out. He might slip up, and if he does, I will be there for her, even if it is as a friend, but this can't be it," I said, trying to convince myself there was hope.

My day went slow, and I returned to Greenwood more depressed than I had left.

A day later, I was sitting in my office when Lukman, my beta, brought me an invitation from the Northern Council.

"We hereby invite your pack to partake in our tournament starting next month's new moon. The open competitions are Polo, Swimming, Football, Golf, Croquet, Volleyball, One Hundred Metre Dash and Ring Fight (without any presence of Silver). Please reply with the list of sports you are interested in and the name of your team members. Thank you, and we look forward to hosting you," it read, and I looked at the person that sent the invitation.

"From the Northern Council, Signed Joan Clayman. "

It was strange that the northern council would invite me to participate in the all-region sports games. They usually invite lesser southern Alphas, but they had chosen to invite me this year. I contemplated whether I should accept or not.

"Weirdly, the council would invite us, knowing we have an issue with the lord," Lukman said. I even had more issues with the Lord because Volkov had stolen the heart of my fated.

"Should we take part in it?" Lukman asked, and I did not know what to say.

Usually, I would say no, but it also meant I would see Tamia one more time before her wedding.

It meant I could officially spend a month in the north without having any hindrances because the tournament takes that long before we complete.

The Polo alone takes two weeks. It would be a great opportunity.

"Do you know if Volkov is participating?" I asked Lukman, and he nodded.

"He plays Polo every year." He said, and I began to grin from ear to ear.

"Do we have a good Polo team?" I asked him, and he nodded.

"Nikolas Sullivan has a good team. He is a northerner but relocated to the south eleven years ago with his niece. I am sure they would participate in the north as a southern team against Volkov's team." He said, and I began to grin because this would be an excellent opportunity to spend time with Tamia.

As much as I hated to think of it, she would be around Sylvester often, and if he played Polo, we would be around each other often.

It will give me a chance.

I need to prove that I am a better man for her. I did not plan on playing dirty, but I planned on making an effort. If I still lose, I would gracefully bow out, but I would try as penance for not taking her away from Leo when I had the chance.

Somehow I knew it was my fault she ended up in the north. If I had taken her from Leo, the north would have still attacked the east, but she wouldn't be there to give herself up. She would have been with me.

I looked at Lukman, grateful for the opportunity that had dropped on my lap, and I wasn't going to waste it.
