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.

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.
