Shadows of Destiny

The Meeting With Bane -Leo- Devin’s revelation did not sit well with me.

I thought he wasn’t good enough for Tamia, and I suspected the Wolf Lord was possessive of her.

This was a difficult situation.

“You should let her go,” I finally said, and he shook his head and pinched his nose.

“You, of all people, know that won’t happen, Leo,” he said, and I bowed my head.

“I just want peace,” I said.

“It is easy to say.

You didn’t fight for her because you already had someone.

You had already replaced her,” He said to me.

He had struck a nerve with those words.

“Do not speak of things you don’t understand or know nothing about.

The mate bond drives you, but I love Tamia.

Tamia is my best friend, my confidant, my soul.

I did not give her up.

I would have died for her.

I fought them with everything I had, but she wanted to leave.

She had asked me to release her so many times.

She gave herself to them, so don’t tell me about my feelings.

for my wife.

You know nothing about it.

Where was the fucking mate bond when we were young? Where was it when we fell in love and planned our lives? Everything was going well until that fucking party,” I said, fighting back my tears.

As much as I told myself that I was okay with Tamia being in the north, I wasn’t, but I was glad she was happy.

Although it hurt, I was glad.

I was pleased that she was alright.

“I am not telling you to let it go because I am a coward.

I am telling you to let it go because I sense she has something serious with the wolf Lord.

I doubt she will pick you, Devin, and I know it will break your heart.

Unlike me, Tamia is strong and determined.

If she had met you before I met Amanda, I know she would have rejected you and risked being weak,” I told him my truth based on my suspicions.

He was stunned and looked at me as if I had said something wrong.

“The Volkovs took everything from me; I can’t let them take my fated too.

I will try my best to get her back from the north,” he said and sat down.

“We need to team up, Leonardo.

I do not want to force your region under me,” He said, and I smiled.

“You already divided my region into two.
