The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 847

"It's Mom," She said, and I took it reluctantly, knowing that my Grandmother must have told her what had happened.

"Hello," I said, and I heard a sigh at the other end.

"Liam, where did you go last night? Everyone was worried about you," she asked, and I was speechless. How could I tell her my whereabouts without bringing up Sophia's father?

"I am fine. I just got excited and decided to go hunting all night," I lied and looked at my Grandmother, who had a look of disappointment on her face.

"I heard you went to Beta Mike's house. You did not know how scared I was when I learned what he had done. I was afraid that he might have hurt you, Liam. You shouldn't go off like that. Never go anywhere without Marvin, Oliver, and Miles. They aren't just your cousins but your team and future officers," she said, and I was silent. It was clear there was no point lying anyway.

"How are you feeling?" she finally asked, and I did not know how to answer the question. Everyone was there. It was as if my problem had become everyone's business.

"Do you mind if I call you back, Mom?" I asked her, and she sighed.

"I know you need a moment. Call me soon. Love you," she said, and we hung up.

My mother was cool like that. She knew when to give us space, and I appreciate her for it. I handed the phone to Harper and got off the couch.

"Where are you going?" My Grandmother asked.

"Out, I needed some air," I said, looking at everyone around.

"I am coming with you," Miles said, and I nodded. It was okay to have him come along.

"Me too," Marvin said, and I did not need to guess whether Oliver would be coming.

We left the house, and Miles suggested we go hunting to take my mind off what had happened. But how could I forget it when yesterday would have been an excellent day for me? The thought of never seeing Sophie again was harsh, and I could not accept it. I did not want my grandparents to know my plans because they would freak out.

We got to the woods, and I did not feel like shifting. Alex had not said a word to me, so I knew he needed his minute. We were attached to Sophia, and she was always there. I could not believe that ripping her away from my life could be as easy as this. I had never felt so powerless in my life. Growing up, I believed I could have anything and do anything I wanted. What had happened had shown me my limitation, and they were painful.

I had heard the story about Susan and my father several times, but that wasn't Sophia and me. I couldn't let that happen to us. My grandfather caused my father's limitations, but I knew my father would not hinder me.

The dirt on the Maguires was too much to wash off.

I wondered if it were possible to find a way to have them pardon Sophia and her mother while they hunted for Mike to explain himself.

I also knew it was wishful thinking because my family would not get involved unless it became a general problem involving all regions.

I leaned against a tree and ran my fingers through my hair out of frustration.

Sophia's voice over the phone played in my mind. She was afraid. I couldn't just sit back and let this happen to her. I needed to do something, and I needed to do it quickly.

As much as I hated to admit it. There were just two people I knew that could get involved with the matter regardless of the consequence, and they weren't in Grizlo.
