The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 49

"Still, you had no right to go after her now. The Wolf Lord is mad," I said, and he growled.

"I did not care," he said, and I growled back.

"I care. I fucking care, damn it. People died last time; how many more are we willing to sacrifice? Let it go. I am sure she is fine. The man is treating them well," I said so he could be at peace.

"And how do you know this? That man is a sick fuck. Do you know what the north does to Lunas they capture?" he said, and I sighed.

"He is different, Max. Tamia sent me a letter saying she was fine. If anything was wrong, she would have found a way to put it in the letter without letting them know. I am sure Avery has accepted that she belongs to the north and moved on. Do the same," I said, and he was silent.

"See you at the meeting tonight, and make sure Devin shows up," I said and hung up. I returned to the house, and Amanda was weeping at the table.

I knew her blackmail tactics, and I was numb to them. So I walked to my bedroom. I showered and dressed, then returned to the living room to wait for the meeting.

"Leo," Amanda said, coming to join me on the couch with puffy eyes.

"You haven't touched me since I returned. I did not do anything to deserve this." She said, and I looked into her eyes. She was sad, even though I knew it wasn't her fault. I was still in mourning. Black wanted to comfort her, but I held back.

"Give me time," I said gently and kissed her forehead.

No matter how mad I was, I couldn't hate her. She remained with me on the couch until it was time for the meeting. I did not want her to follow me, but she insisted, so I let her. I waited for Amanda to get dressed, so I knew I would arrive at the meeting late.

When I arrived at the meeting hall, there was a full-blown argument, and I realised Max was trying to fight Devin, claiming he had tricked him.

"You wanted Avery, and I wanted Tamia. How did I trick you?" Devin said, stating what transpired. I walked up to him and tried to punch him, but he caught my fist.

"You won't hit me twice, Alpha Leo. I will give you your respect because of our alliance, but do not try to hit me again," He warned me, and his yellowish wolf eyes flashed.

"The Alliance is off. Go back to your region. You have done enough," I said.

There was no need to have a lengthy discussion. They had admitted what they had done, and everyone knew what might ensue. The only thing left was a response to their actions.

Devin looked around, wanting to see if they shared the same opinion, but no one countered me.

"I may not be as famous or as powerful as you are, but this is my region, these are my people, and I am the head. Kyle made that alliance with my permission. I am breaking it tonight," I said, and he nodded, accepting defeat.

"You will regret this, Alpha Leo. The north can't be trusted. The Lord of the north is sly and wicked, and he will come for all of you when you least expected it," He said, and I laughed.

"What does taking Tamia from the north have to do with conquering it?" I asked him, pointing out the stupidity of his words.

He looked at me funny.

"It wasn't a crime trying to get Tamia away from that bastard. She deserves better, Leo. You might not feel anything for her, but she deserves better than being a fuck toy for the wolf lord and his officers," He said with pain and anger, and I could swear he was in love with Tamia. I had never seen Devin break character before. What the fuck was his problem? They only met once.
