The Dark Side Of Fate

~Devin~

Since the dinner party where I found Tamia, I haven’t been able to sleep. I stayed awake most nights, wondering what to do.

I had just agreed to an alliance with the east; it would be wrong to ask the leader to part with his wife because she was my fated.

I knew she wasn’t an Alpha breed when she couldn’t sense me and convincing her she was mine was going to be complicated.

The situation between her and Leo made me hopeful, but I wanted to wait a bit.

I knew Leo wouldn’t hold on to her for too long, and I hoped to claim her when they decided to call it quits. Little did I know Volkov would come calling, bullying his way through.

As much as I had tried to ignore the Volkovs, they always had a way of messing with me.

First, it was my parents and my youth. Because of Maurice, my father died early, and I could not be a normal teenager because I had to take over. Now Sylvester has taken my fated.

Attacking the estate in the north was stupid, and many lives were lost in the process, but I was desperate.

I couldn’t take it anymore.

My wolf, Rex, was in pain, and I was hurting every day, knowing that, just like my mother, I might never see my fated again.

When Leo asked me if I had told Sylvester that Tamia was my fated, I could not help but chuckle.

The Volkovs never let go of what they have taken. They are called trophies for a reason. They are keepsakes, living proof that they have conquered a place.

I did not know what to do, and as time passed, I became more desperate.

I had to respect Leo for calling a meeting because just as he had heard that I was going to attack the east to take over the rest of the east, I had heard that he would attack me to take back the part of the east that joined the South.

The man did not like trouble, which was one of his strengths. I decided I would be more careful before acting because someone or some people were clearly trying to knock our heads together.

It still hurt that Kyle thought I would orchestrate the attack against the western borders.

Honestly, I believed Kyle did it, and when it went south, he denied it, but as the days passed, I began to suspect that Sylvester might have orchestrated the entire thing so he could have a reason to attack the east and subdue them.

If only Leo could see that it would be wrong to keep allowing the mad lord to rule us.

How many more do we have to give?

Even though Leo did not want to go after Sylvester, I will. For Tamia’s sake, I will.

The universe made her for me, fate gave her to me, and I wasn’t willing to let go.

Leo told me Sylvester and Tamia were together, and it repulsed me.

I was sure she was only doing what she could to survive.

I would do the same in her shoes.

Her time living with Leo and sharing him with Amanda must have hurt her so deeply that her captivity would be bliss.

I later learned that she had written to several alphas in the South to grant her permission to own land and property in their territories.

She was actively making efforts to leave Leo.

Why didn’t she write to me? Why didn’t she tell me her plans the day we danced and I held her in my arms?

I did not know what to do and felt I was running out of time.

“We can’t continue like this,” Rex, my wolf, said, and I sighed.

I was lying on the grass at the back of my house in the garden.

I lived alone.

I had lived alone since my father passed away.

I never dated anyone seriously, and I never brought a woman home.

I wanted to wait for my fated, and I always let the person I was dating know that I was waiting for my fated. How could I be so unlucky?

“We can’t let Sylvester keep her, Devin,” Rex said, growling in my head. He was in pain too.

“I am moving as fast as I can. When we strike, we have to get it right,” I told my wolf, and he was silent. It wasn’t because he was happy about my response; he knew I was right.

The alpha of the western pack, whose territory was attacked for taxes, was on his way to visit me.

I wasnt ready for the visit because of my mental state, but I had no choice but to be nice.
