The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 154

"Do not be afraid, Avery; it will happen for you, too," I said, rubbing her back.

"But when?" She asked, and I sighed.

"You should see a doctor to know if anything is wrong and if it can be corrected. That is what I would do," I said, and she broke the hug and stared at me.

"You are right, Tamia," She said and held my hand.

"Join me at the hospital tomorrow, please," She said, and I remembered my conversation with Sylvester about protection and not being on my own.

"I suggest you go with Marcel. It would be best if you handled it together," I said, and she shook her head.

"I want you to come with me, Tamia. I do not want Marcel. What if something is wrong with me? He will know and might change his mind. I love him, Tamia; I can't lose him," She said with genuine fear in her eyes.

"Nothing is the matter with you, Avery. I will speak to Sylvester to let me follow you to the hospital," I said to ease her mind, and she thanked me.

I tried to counsel her to the best of my ability and decided to leave because I did not want to keep Stephanie waiting.

My actions might have seemed a bit stupid. Whatever Stephanie wanted to tell me must have been serious, so it was wrong to put her on hold, but I knew that whatever she was going to tell me might leave me shellshocked, and I won't be able to check on my friend, so I wanted to get it out of the way before speaking to Stephanie.

I walked still barefooted so people could not hear my footsteps. I took a mental note to do this often. Lily was on my watch list. I needed to know who gave her a phone and who she was communicating with.

I got to Stephanie's door and knocked.

"Please come in, Tamia; I know it is you," She said, and I let myself in.

"Lock the door," She said, and I did as she said and approached her where she sat on the couch in her room.

I went to sit with her, and she smiled at me. I was still wary of her, but I let it be because she was open to me again. There were only two possibilities: to misguide or tell the truth, so I was attentive.

"I am sorry to ask you this question, but I need you to be honest. How did it feel when Leo met his fated?" She asked, and I looked at her. I contemplated answering it, but I knew I had to, or the conversation won't make headway.

"Heartwrenching. My life was over. He was the lead alpha of the East; I had nowhere to go, and no one would want me. I could not leave, so I was there through it all until the north attacked and gave me a chance to escape," I said, and she looked at me stunned.

"Yes, I gave myself as a tribute to leave Leo. We would have subdued the people who attacked us, but I did not want to be the third wheel in their home anymore. They were going to be a family. There was no place for me," I said, and she looked at me worried, but I smiled at her.

"I am glad," I said and placed my hand on my belly. "I found love in the north and everything I ever wanted." I told her, and she smiled.

"Do you know if Leo were Sylvester, then truly you would have nowhere to go? Sylvester is a step up from Leo, but no one is a step up from the Wolf lord. So, in that case, you will be stranded forever, and even if you want to leave him, it would be impossible. Society won't allow it, your family won't allow it, and your heart and wolf will hold on so tight, and it won't allow it. There is something in us that seeks the dominant male," She said, and I wondered why she was saying such things.

"I didn't call you here to discuss your relationship." She said and sighed. I called you here to discuss mine.

"Something my sons did not know was that their father had a fated," she said, and I exclaimed, pretending not to know so she could give me her version of the story.

"Everyone that knew was sworn to secrecy by Maurice. Her name was Alissa Pavlishchev, and she was from Gad in the western region. Only the people in the council and older western Alphas knew of her." She said.
