The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 7

His gesture made me giggle. I took the rose from him and sniffed it gently, keeping my eyes trained on him.

His blue eyes were brilliant, and they gave me butterflies.

He stood up and stretched his hands towards me.

I did not hesitate to take his hands.

He smiled at me and led me to the open floor to dance.

"You look stunning, Luna Tamia," he said, and I thanked him.

"I am delighted a beautiful woman like you agreed to dance with me, Tamia," He said and held me to his chest.

I let him.

It had been over a month since I was touched delicately like that. I heard Leo's growls in my head, but Kaira and I were busy enjoying the moment to care.

"I would like us to be friends," Alpha Devin said, and I looked at him to see if he was playing, but he wasn't.

"How can we be friends when you are not from around here?" I said, and he smiled. His dentition was perfect.

"I will be staying here for a bit to help with some issues in this region. I am here to help form an alliance between the east and the south regions so we can resist the wolf lord. You might not have heard of me, but I go by the nickname Bane." He said, and my eyes widened when I realised who I was dancing with.

He was referred to as Bane because, other than the Dark Alpha, he was the most deadly wolf alive. He was the one that drove the Dark Alpha's army away from the south. He was the Dark Alpha's nemesis. Why didn't Avery warn me?

"Alpha," I said, and he held me close to him.

"Do not treat me like everyone, Tamia. I asked Kyle to make sure no one knew it was me, so I can have real interactions with everyone. I am only telling you this because I want us to be friends, and it would be wrong to start our friendship with a lie," he said, and I tried to relax.

We danced for a bit, and he invited me to join him at his table. I wanted to decline, and he stopped me.

"Luna Avery will be joining us too," he said, and I looked in the direction of my former table, and Avery wasn't there.

I followed him and noticed it was the same table as Leo and Amanda.

"I can't sit there," I said, and he held my hand.

"Your husband and his fated will not trouble you. I promise," He said, sure of himself. Indirectly, he meant he wouldn't let them trouble me.

I went to sit beside his seat while Avery sat with his Beta.

"Darling, you finally came to join us," Leo said, and I knew what he was doing. He was telling the Alpha Devin that I was his wife.

"She is my guest at the table," Devin said and served my wine.

I felt pampered. There were omegas about for that, but the Alpha Devin decided he would dote on me and serve me wine.

"Thank you, Devin," I said so that Leo would know we were on a first-name basis.

I noticed Leo get angry, and Amanda was all over.

Linda wasn't completely right when she said our mates stopped caring once they were with their fated.

Leo had been affected since I arrived at the party. He has growled and complained. He has been jealous all through.

"It is time to go home," Leo said, and I ignored him. I did not come there with him.

"Okay," Amanda said, getting up, and he looked at me.

"Tamia," He said, and I looked at him, sipping from my glass.

"We didn't come here together, darling. I will leave the same way I came. Besides, I am not done socialising," I said, placing the glass on the table, and I saw him ball his fist in anger.

"So you want to behave like Linda and Avery," he said in Avery's presence, and I felt it was low of him to talk about them like that.
