The Dark Side Of Fate

33 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.

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.

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.
