The Dark Side Of Fate

Amy seemed angry and broken, but I could not feel sorry for her. She was careless and selfish. Gambling with her son’s life was just stupid. I could not sympathise with her, but I linked Wilson to bring Liam to us just so she would know I wasn’t lying about her son.

Avery did not like Amy, and neither did Linda. I could see it in their eyes. Their anger was the same as mine. I was highly disappointed.

“I want to know, Amy, why you will use your son in the most despicable manner?” Linda asked her voicing out her contempt towards the stupid luna.

“I understand you being adventurous or trying to be a vigilante, but involving your son and endangering his life is careless and extreme. You are not fit to be a mother. People like you are a disgrace to motherhood.” Linda said, and Amy could not speak. She was silent.

I did not feel sorry for her. Her husband had washed his hands off her and told us to do as we pleased.

Even if she managed to get out of the mess, she would have no home to go to. She deserved worse than abandonment.

Wilson walked Liam in, and he looked well-kept in new clothes.

Since the people threatening him had been caught, he had been set free. It was only a few hours of freedom, but it showed.

To think I have been busy all day was killing. Sylvester and I had decided to go ruthless this morning, and I was still at it. I was tired, but I needed to finish Amy’s session and get something tangible.

The boy looked at me, bowed to pay his respect, and then looked at his mother. There was a sudden rage in his eyes that I knew only the betrayal by a loved one could bring.

“Why am I here?” He asked, not wanting to be in the room.

“She wanted to see you,” I told him calmly, and he shook his head. His eyes were misty.

“I do not want to see her,” He said, voicing his anger, and Amy sobbed.

“Liam..” She cried, and he growled at her. He was an Alpha, after all, so it was expected.

“I hate you!” he yelled at his mother with his command, and I must say, I felt it too. The boy might seem timid, but he was strong. His father must be a strong Alpha too.

His command made Linda uncomfortable, and Wilson touched his shoulder to calm down because his mood upset everyone, including me. I tried to be assertive about it and mask the discomfort, but I felt it too.

“You got me involved with those people. You encouraged it. I hate you. They tried to kill me. They set me up and put a target on my back. Moses put a target on my back, and Elaine ran away. If I hadn’t been arrested, I would have been dead by now!” he yelled at her, and I could see and feel his pain.

Amy was weeping, seriously realising now that I did not lie to her and everything I told her was true.

“I did not know they would do that. They promised me you won’t be active,” she said in tears, looking at her son, and he shook his head.

“Why get me involved in the first place. I started talking to that bitch when I was fourteen, mother. Who exposes their child like that. You helped them manipulate me. I thought going to the west was my idea, but it was yours. You exploited my weakness. You knew I wanted friends and used my longing to get me into your gang. I hope they find you guilty and you rot,” he told her and wiped away his tears.

“Father will lose his position because of you, and we will be in exile. Even if they kill you, we will be exiled. You ruined us,” He told her, spelling the truth to her. Sylvester must have told the boy what to expect.
