The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 48

"Without my consent? Who the fuck do they think they are? I am in charge of the east. I feel insulted," I said, and Casper was silent.

"Call a meeting and invite that bastard Devin. I want to know why he and Max will do this to us." I said, and Casper left.

I wondered what gave Devin the right to risk a war over Tamia.

They met once. Danced once, and he suddenly felt he could.

Was he trying to say I did not love her enough to go after them?

Tamia gave herself up so that people would live.

If my life was all that was at stake, I would have risked it all to get her back, or died trying.

I called Kyle immediately because he was the one that brought Devin into our lives.

"Hello," He said, sounding drunk on the phone.

I did not know how he was drinking, but I didn't bother to ask him why.

"Do you know about the attack?" I asked him, and he was silent.

"I just heard about it. I can't believe Max and Devin will put us in this situation. I am afraid right now, Leo. I have nothing to give the Wolf Lord if he retaliates," he said, and I could understand why he was drinking.

"We better hope he doesn't because he doesn't plan to take anything. He sent me a message that he would burn the east to the ground," I told him, and he exclaimed.

"We need to prove to him we had no hand in it," Kyle said.

"And Max?" I asked, and he sighed.

" He dug his grave," he said

"But you were the one that brought Devin to the east. You made us forge the alliance with the scumbag; since then, we have had nothing but trouble. The wolf Lord never bothered with us, and we never looked for his trouble until we made the alliance with the south," I said.

"What are you saying, Leo?" He asked, and I sighed.

"If you said you didn't stage the first attack, then who do you think will do it on your behalf?" I asked, and he was silent. I knew he understood what I was driving at, but he was too afraid to say it.

"Do you think that Bane is trying to get us in trouble with the wolf lord?" he asked, and I laughed.

"I am not sure, but I suspect he has a hand in it. Hence why he will attack the north by joining forces with Max. We both know he knew he could not win. This is the wolf lord we are talking about." I said, and Kyle was silent.

"I will see you at the meeting tonight. Come sober," I told him and hung up.

After talking to Kyle, I thought of my deductions.

Bane was smart, it was supposed to be a get in get out mission, but Max was his fail-safe. If his warriors do not succeed, the south won't be the only region implicated. The east will be implicated, too, forcing us to join forces and go after the north if the Wolf lord tries to retaliate.

I hoped for all our sakes I am wrong because if that is the case, we are fucked. I fought the northern warriors, and they were too skilled and strong.

On my way home, my phone rang, and I answered; it was Max.

"Leo, I am sorry," were his first words.

"It sounded like a good idea at then. He didn't tell me he was going for Tamia. He just said he would help me get my Avery back." Max said, and I felt it was weird that he would want Avery back after all he made her endure because of Michelle. I heard he used to beat Avery. Why will he want her back so badly?

"I thought you wanted her out of your lives?" I asked him, and he sighed.

"I want her back. My life hasn't been the same. It's been almost a month, and everything is falling apart. All Michelle is good for is fucking, and she has a terrible attitude. I am beginning to suspect the things she said Avery did to her were lies. She just wanted my wife out of the picture. I regret everything. I should have given them Michelle. I am doing my job and Luna's duty now. Michelle is so dumb, and I am mad fate will join me with such a useless piece of shit. You know the fucked up part, I can't hate her. Whenever she is with me, I feel like a fool. My wolf just gives in. I should have risked being weak and rejected her." he said, ranting, and I sighed.
