Shadows of Destiny

09 The One That Got Away ~Leo~ I woke up in wolf form.

Amanda knelt beside me, and she was weeping.

I did not know what had happened.

Did they conquer us while I was out of it? I shifted back to my human form, and she hugged me tightly and wept.

I searched about for Tamia.

The last time I remembered, three of us were in the living room when the intruders barged in.

I broke the hug and gently got up to look at the mess that was once my living room.

There was nothing to salvage.

I had to replace everything.

“Where is Tamia?” I asked Amanda, and she continued to cry on the floor.

“Where is my wife? What happened?” I asked, and she managed to get up.

1/12 “They were trying to take you away as a trophy.

You were almost dead.

So she gave herself up in your stead.

I tried to talk her out of it, but she shut me out.

They took her away in chains, Leo.

We stood no chance.

The attack ended the moment they took her, “Amanda said, rushing through her words, but I was lost from the moment she said Tamia gave herself up.

I fell to my knees and roared with anger.

I punched the ground until my knuckles bled.

Tears were streaming down my cheeks.

There was pain deep in my soul.

How much pain did we have to endure? Who did we offend to warrant such a terrible life? First, our happily ever after was disrupted by my fated, and now this.

There was no way I could get her back.

“Why!” I yelled, my soul in pain and my heart breaking.

How could I lose her? The last words we 2 spoke to each other were painful.

She felt I had wronged her terribly, and I was determined to fix it.

I wanted children with her too.

I would have made an effort.

Tamia was my best friend before we got married.

I felt like shit, and slowly rage rose in me against Kyle and Devin.

6 Why did Kyle look for trouble and bring this upon us? I had warned him to be careful that the Dark Alpha wasn’t so forgiving, but he felt Devin would be there to rescue us.

Devin took land, money and tributes from us and did not come to our aid when needed.

He might argue the attack was sudden, but that was what Alphas trained for, to counter sudden attacks.

He should have had men here to help us.

I roared.

My sweet Tamia is gone because Kyle chose to look for trouble.
