The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 362

"Your Majesty, we got to the cell, and when Annika realised what we were there for, she swallowed something, and now she is unconscious. We found a tiny capsule filled with eastern silver dust in her hand. I believe someone gave her two. She did not get to swallow the second capsule," Kappa Wilson said, confirming what Ramsey said.

I remembered the odd conversation Tamia spoke about between Annika and Amanda, and I was livid.

Annika had confessed, so we could not keep her under the same condition as the other prisoners.

I wish I was King then; I would have waived her rights. She should have had silver on her to stop the mind-linking ability. Leo was right when he said that the laws do not favour our society.

Becoming King was a gamble. If I knew I would win and that I would get the support I got, I would have damned it and broken all the rules.

I punched the desk between Ramsey and me and hung up.

Suddenly what Ramsey said checked out.

I did not need him to elaborate any more than he already had. The woman had played us.

"We will put a wanted ad of Amanda Richford," I said calmly.

"Why didn't I feel the pain of her being with someone else?" Leo asked Ramsey, and he laughed.

"She is an Alpha, like you, Leo; she did not reject you. She did to you what you did to your wife. Claimed another man while connected to you, so you won't feel it.

You see, we all know that once claimed by our fated, we could claim a chosen and transfer the bond. The bond with the fated would remain, but it will be weak.

Have you looked at the mark on her neck? If you look closely, you will notice that there are two bites almost in the same spot.

Your bond with Amanda was transferred to this guy, so they did not need a blue moon to claim each other. It happens.

If you find your fated and reject them, the bond transfers to the one your heart desires, but you must have found your fated or possess a fated bond to create that connection. A few people have done it in the past, so it isn't news to my generation.

They had to claim each other even though they weren't ready to do it, so you will not know when they are intimate.

They did not need the blue moon to claim each other because of your existing bond with Amanda. So your bond with her was transferred to him. She chose him.

You can easily dismiss his scent when she returns to you because she has always had it. She had been intimate with him before you; he had marked her with his scent. They love each other deeply," Ramsey explained, and Leo swore.

The woman had played all of us, and no one was the wiser. I was heartbroken. I did not know how Tamia would feel about it knowing the woman had deliberately ruined her home for nothing. There was no way Tamia would not take this personally. This was very bad.

"Do you know where she would be right now?" I asked him, and he shook his head.

"Must have gone into hiding. You won't find her, your majesty. They are resourceful, and they love each other. That much I can tell you. Even the mate bond could not stop them from getting together.

With Leo, she would be head Luna of the east and live in Tamia's shadow for the rest of her life; with this Volkov guy, she would be queen. It was an easy choice," he said, laughing.

"Sorry, Leo," he added, and Leo wanted to hit him, but I stopped him. Just then, Devin walked in, and it was clear he had not heard anything Ramsey had told us.

I told him everything, and he cursed.

"Honestly, I felt it was weird she had that flash drive. Why didn't she give it to Leo before he brought her to the estate? I believe it was her last resort, and it worked. She tried to be a victim and played on Tamia's history with Ramsey to get the sympathy she desired. The bitch," Devin said, and I was mad.

How could we have been so stupid not to see Amanda for what she was? A mastermind.
