The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 844

"Where are the others?" I asked.

"They went with Harper, Eleanor too," She said and moved closer to me. She used the back of her hand to touch my forehead. I guess she was wondering if I were sick.

"What happened out there, Li? Why are you mad?" she asked.

I could be angry around her because she was an Alpha like me; some might even argue that the triplets were stronger since their biological mother was an Alpha too.

I stepped back and sat on a chair.

"I am angry that that bastard, Mike, lied that I did not come by the house. I went there, and we spoke before Alex took over from rage, landing me in the forest," I said, and she was surprised, then slowly, anger covered her face.

"That snake? Why would he lie? What happened?" She asked.

"I went to check on Sophia and found out she wasn't there. While trying to figure it out, he came out through the back and told me he had sent her and her mother away for their protection. I tried to find out where he sent them. I even accidentally compelled him, but he said he had anticipated compulsion and told his mate not to tell him where they were going. That tipped me off, and I bolted into the woods to calm down," I said, and she was silent for a bit.

I knew my reasons might seem silly, but only I knew how I felt. Charlotte might not even comprehend it.

"Did you call her phone?" Charlotte asked me, and I realised how stupid I was.

"No, I didn't. The way Mike spoke to me did not allow me to think. I later realised that was an option and spent the rest of the dark searching for my phone, which I did not find until dawn. But the battery is dead, and the screen is broken," I said, and she handed me her phone.

"Take, use my phone. Call her," Charlotte said.

"You have her number?" I asked, and her cheeks coloured.

"Why do you think no one dared ask her out? We made sure of it. Harper, Gemma, Jewels, and I have always known of your crush. I mean, you made our parents send all of us to Grizlo because of her. The instant you chose Grizlo Academy, we knew why; what we did not expect was that our parents would require us to join you. Well, here we are, so we kind of kept tabs on her to be sure she won't break your heart when you are ready. We do not want a heartbroken king ruling us," She said, making me laugh.

Her phone gave me hope, and the realisation that I could reach out to Sophia gave me hope.

Charlotte unlocked her phone and displayed Sophia's number. I dialled it immediately, and I was grateful the phone rang. It rang for a while before she finally picked.

"Sophie, Sophie," I said.

"Li?" she asked, and I relaxed.

"Where are you? I went by your house last night, and your father said he had sent you and your mother away. Tell me where you are, and I will come and get you. If you need protection, I can provide it," I said, and I heard her crying on the phone.

"I didn't think you could help us, Li; I think my father …." She did not finish when I heard a rustling sound.

"Sophie! Sophie!" I called out on the phone, afraid something horrible had happened to her.

"Hello," a female voice said, and I knew it was her mother.

"Mrs. Maguire, it's me, Liam," I said, and she sighed.

"Oh dear Liam, my husband said you came by yesterday, and you were distraught," she said, and I did not respond.

"I am sorry it was sudden, your Highness, but this was for the best. You need not involve yourself in things that are beneath you. You were always above our class. I think it is best this way. I am sure you have other friends," she said, and I was confused.
