Shadows of Destiny

12 Letting Go ~Leo~ A week passed, and the reality of what had happened to me sank in.

I had sent Amanda home to her father, so I could mourn my wife.

Max asked me to release her, but I couldn’t.

Releasing her meant I had given up on her and I didn’t want to give up.

I didn’t know if she was well or what they were doing to her there.

“We need to release her, or the Dark Alpha will see our mark on her as an act of defiance,” Black warned me, but I couldn’t.

I decided I would write a letter to the wolf lord.

Pleading with him to give me back my wife and promising never to work or act against him.

I did not care if what I was doing was foolish, but I had to do something.

I could not sit on my arse and mope.

If he won’t give her back, the least he can do is let me hear her voice and know that she is okay and happy where she is.

What if he sees it as an act of defiance? Did it ever occur to you that Tamia gave herself so we could live? The situation was terrible, Leo.

We would have died; they would have killed all three of us.

She chose the best option that kept us alive.

Tamia is a smart woman; that is why we fell in love with her.

She will take care of herself there, but she isn’t coming back, Leo.

Do not deceive yourself.

Take the gift of life and peace that she gave us by sacrificing herself and make the most of it,” Black said, and I roared.

“Now that bastard has a lot of explaining to do.

He touches what is ours and then goes back on our deal with him with a flimsy excuse,” Black said, agreeing with I walked to my table in the living room.

It was the only furniture there.

I was yet to fix the place.

I sat with a pen and paper and decided to write a letter to the Wolf Lord.

I was taking what my wolf said into consideration.

The first letter was to Tamia.

“My Emerald Queen, I am still going through the motions.

I would be lying to you if I said I am handling it well.

You knew I would have willingly died, but you did the right thing when I did not have the courage to do it.

I could not leave things where we left off.

I am sorry for everything.

I tried, but my 3/15 best wasn’t good enough.

I did not plan to have that baby with Amanda, it was Ads by Pubfuture sudden, and I would have willingly tried with you.

I would have made an effort.

I wanted to have a daughter that looked like you and had your strength.

I guess fate really had it in for us when it messed up our happily ever after, and took you to the north.

I pray you find peace and Joy there.

I know it is crazy, but I hope you get to do all that you want.

If he ever lets you go, know that you will always have a home with me.

I will release you to make your life easier with the Wolf lord.

I do not know what or who you will be there, but I pray that the same fate that destroyed us smiles on you there.
