Shadows of Destiny

08 Arriving The North -Tamia~ The men dragged me all the way.

My heart broke to see wounded and dead wolves on the ground.

What did Kyle do to doom our entire region? I wondered and fought the tears welling in my eyes.

The Dark Alpha was ruthless, and I now understood why people feared him.

I was dragged to the border between Mountain Pack and Valley hill pack.

There I saw a massacre.

Warriors were killed.

Looking at the casualties, I noticed only our wolves were killed.

None of the northern wolves died.

It made me wonder who trained them and also made me dread the Dark Alpha.

Where was Devin? He was supposed to be in our region to help when something like this happened, but he was nowhere to be found.

I could not fathom the lives that were affected by this.

A white van was waiting, and the men dragging me opened the door and ordered me to get in.

I did what they said without question.

My goal was to leave Leo; it wasn’t to get killed.

After all I saw on our way, I made a conscious decision not to aggravate or irritate the northern soldiers.

I sat down, surprised to see the other people in the truck with me.

Someone hit the side of the truck twice, and the engine started.

1 “So he threw you to them, too?” Avery asked me, and I frowned at her, not understanding what she meant.

I looked at Linda, and she didn’t look pregnant.

“I mean, Leo gave you to them as a peace offering to the Dark Alpha so they can leave him and Amanda alone and spare his pack,” Avery said, explaining her question, and I shook my head.

She was surprised by my response.

“He didn’t.

He shifted and fought to protect but they overpowered him.

They were going to kill him, so I asked them to take me, us, ‘I said, and she was shocked.

“Are you out of your mind?” she asked, and I frowned.

“How can you make that sacrifice? You are a good warrior; you two would have stood a chance together,” she said, and tears welled in my eyes, remembering the real reason I surrendered.

“I was tired of everything, Avery.

I couldn’t take it anymore.” I told my friend, and tears.

streamed down her face.

“You should have stayed.

However it was, you had it better than Linda and I.

We would have given anything to remain if our husband didn’t give us up as peace offerings.

Whatever you were going through with Leo is better than being the Dark Alpha’s trophy and slave.

Leo cared for you and still gave you your respect.

You said it yourself.

Four nights in a week, Tamia, I rarely get one.

His love is true.

It is unfortunate that fate fucked you two up, but you should have fought beside him and stayed.” She said, and I wiped away my tears and looked at her.

“He got her pregnant, Ave,” I said and began to weep.
