The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 579

I washed my face to reduce the swelling around my eyes and stepped out of the room.

I headed to the living room, and there was no one there.

Thinking Alice had gone out with Devin, I decided to clean the kitchen.

I entered, and Alice trashed my food and cleaned the place. I was mad instantly.

"What are you doing?" I asked her, and she looked at me.

Now that Devin wasn't around, I knew she would throw away the pretence.

She had hated me since Devin brought me home. I knew she wanted him, and I had foolishly created an avenue for her.

"What does it look like?" she asked me with a very condescending tone.

"I do all the luna duties around here. I mean all." She said, and I did not want to believe that Devin would screw her.

"I take care of the pack and Alpha Devin. Since you left, someone had to step in," she said and then turned to look at me.

"You know you aren't needed here anymore. Alpha has moved on. The pack has moved on." She said, and I was stunned by her words. It had only been three months. Three freaking months.

I did not say anything to her. I just turned and left.

I went to the room I was sleeping in and changed my clothes.

The moment I came out, I saw her exiting Devin's room. She looked at me and winked.

"Don't hold your breath, Susan. I will do right by him," she said and laughed.

She walked away, and I decided to take a walk.

I would go into the woods so no one would see me. I might have lost Devin, but I plan to get him back.

I spent the entire day in the woods in wolf form. Sometimes I would remember my uncle and Glenda. I would brush the thought away so I do not break down.

I did not return to the house until late at night.

The moment I stood at the door, I dreaded it. I did not know what I would see, so I braced up and let myself in.

Devin was in the living room attending to some files, and I could smell Alice in the house.

He looked up at me, and I managed a fake smile.

I always try to smile now so that I won't seem gloomy.

He had accused me of being a killjoy once because I became sad quickly, so this was me trying not to be that person.

Devin was worried, I could see it in his eyes, and I did not know if I should ask him, so I opted for the safest method. I went to sit on a couch close to the one he was sitting on.

"Do you mind if I ask you why you are worried?" I asked as politely as I could.

"There was a massacre at Pridewood. Over eight hundred died. Some evil bastards came, pumped silver in the air, and ensured the residents could not leave. They inhaled silver and died," he said, pinching his nose's bridge to fight his tears. I gasped from the horror of what I had heard.

"They must have been in agony. It is a painful way to go," he said, and I wanted to reach out to him and hold him, but I knew he wouldn't want me touching him, so I maintained my distance.

"Do you have any idea who these people are?" I asked him, and he shook his head.

"I have informed Sylvester and Leo; hopefully, something strong will come up," he said, and I fought my tears from the sadness of the news. Those people did not deserve to die.

"Alpha, I am done with dinner. Do you want me to stay?" I heard Alice's voice and did not want to listen to their discussion, so I opted to excuse myself from the living room.

"Are you not eating dinner?" I heard Devin ask.

I turned to see whom he was talking to, and he looked at me. I shook my head immediately. I could never eat what Alice had prepared.

He looked at me and nodded gradually.

"You can hang around. I might still need help," he said, replying to Alice, and I quickly walked to my room.

I sat down restless for a bit and then left the room to get a bottle of something strong to help me sleep.

I was afraid of seeing something, but I had to.

I walked out and headed for Devin's mini bar.

He wasn't in the living room anymore. There were documents on the coffee table, and I did not need to guess that he had retired to bed with Alice.

I felt awful because I had requested that he let me sleep in his bed when I arrived. I started laughing at myself. I knew I sounded crazy, but that was what came out of me.

I reached for the forty-seven per cent alcoholic content dry gin bottle and carried it.

On my way to my room, Alice stepped out of Devin's room, fully clothed, and I immediately went to my room.

"You still think we shouldn't leave?" I asked my wolf, and she was silent.

I gulped the dry gin and didn't stop swallowing until halfway through. I was tipsy quickly when I put down the bottle because my stomach was empty. I knew I would sleep like a log of wood. I needed it.

I lay on my bed and fell asleep.
