The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 569
~Leo~
I wanted to mind-link Amelia about Alexei, but I knew it would be best to go home, tell her everything, and prepare her for the meeting. I did not know if she would want to see him too.
"You are right," I told him, sitting up.
"I will have Casper keep you company while I return home to speak to her. I will inform you through Casper what she decides." I said, and he smiled. There was gratitude in his eyes.
It was sad to think they had to run around and hide because they had family members pursuing them.
I also felt bad for their mothers.
Amelia was right when she said I was blessed to have had a normal childhood.
Somehow I knew it would be silly to remain mad at my father and mother because they were there for me when I needed them the most.
I did not grow up in an orphanage or on the streets. I did not have to take care of myself and fear for my life. I was blessed.
I linked Casper to keep Alexei company while I headed to my house.
As I walked, I rehearsed how to break the news to my mate.
I did not know how she would take it or what she would think. Honestly, I could not predict her response.
Amelia was easygoing and kind, but I could not imagine what she would do when I broke the news to her.
I thought of it, and it baffled me.
I did not know when I reached my front door. I was about to knock on the door when my phone rang.
I hesitated, then took it out to answer.
It was Timothy.
I had sent Delta Gabriel to head Timothy's pack on my behalf. I wondered what the issue was now.
I answered the phone, and he was a bit hysterical.
"Alpha Leo, they have taken over Brent. I heard it was Alexei Kuznetsov. I think he will soon head my way. I know your delta is here, but I doubt he would respect your claim on the pack." He said.
I could understand his fear.
What had happened to Kyle would scare anyone, but he had no reason to panic.
"And how do you know it was Kuznetsov?" I asked, and he was silent.
I was right; the old man had guessed it was Alexei.
"So, what do you want from me now?" I asked him.
"Let us combine our packs, Leo. Mirabel will make a good mate. She even likes you, so it will be easy. It won't be forced." He said, and I let him finish his sentence because it sounded funny.
It wasn't really about his pack at this point. The guy just wanted me to marry his granddaughter.
"I am already mated, Alpha. My wedding is coming soon. She is my fated too, so I am no longer available. Although Max is, and he does not have a pack for now," I said, and the man was silent.
I was shocked that he was considering it.
I should have watched my tongue because I doubted Max was ready for commitment, and he might not fancy Mirabel.
"I will have to check with him, though," I said quickly so he would not think it was inevitable.
"That will be great, Alpha Leo. Mirabel will like him too. Please talk to him. I am too old for this alpha shit. He can take her and the pack." He said, and I laughed. He was now confessing his truth. The man wanted to retire badly.
"I will then get back to you on the matter," I said, feeling weird because it sounded like a transaction and love isn't supposed to be like that. If Mirabel and Max don't connect, there will be no forcing it.
Timothy must look for someone else if Max doesn't want to commit to anyone.
