The Dark Side Of Fate

Novel {Book 2} Chapter 5 – ~Leo~

Amelia surprised me. Other than the delicious sandwich, her attitude towards Leah was funny.

I knew it was wrong because Leah was my guest, but I did not want to scold her in the presence of Leah. She was a Delta that had fallen on hard times. There was no point in rubbing it in, especially when Leah was a Delta like her.

Deltas are very feisty. I knew that because I had the experience first-hand while married to Tamia. They always felt they needed to prove themselves because even though they were at the top, they were not among the first three and could be easily skipped.

Although I said I would share the sandwich with Leah, I regretted it when I tasted it. It was delicious, just like all the meals Amelia had prepared for me. I wondered what her life must have been like where she came from.

Amelia was a mystery to me. Usually, Delta’s were high-borns. Even if she were kicked off her land, her family should have some money in the bank she could use to settle comfortably elsewhere like all the high-borns from affected areas did.

I doubted she was a criminal in her pack because criminals were executed along with their treacherous alphas.

How she ended up on the street as a petty thief was a mystery.

Her eyes were also a mystery.

Leah was just being mean when she asked if she was blind.

Amelia’s eyes were gorgeous and alluring. Even though she was thin and almost gaunt looking. She could easily compete with all the beautiful women I know if she had proper care.

I did not know why and how she ended up on the street, but I wouldn’t stick my nose in her business.

I had done my best for her, hoping she would pick up from there and move on.

Getting involved in her business would give her hope; I meant it when I rejected her. Whether she accepted it or not was her business. At least I was free of the bond.

I planned on scolding Amelia about my guest when I got home. She had no reason to act as she did; it would have given the impression that I was involved with her, which wasn’t true. I wasn’t ashamed of her, but I wasn’t involved with her.

Leah enjoyed the meal, too, and she waited with me in the office.

I was expecting her to leave for her hotel, but she didn’t and when I asked her why she told me she couldn’t get a room.

I knew she was lying. Since I became the council head, Joan Clayman has always made it a duty to send her daughter to me.

Sylvester, Marcel and Theodore had warned me about it now I understood why.

It was as if Pamela and Joan wanted to get their daughters as close to the top as possible. I also learned they were that way with Maurice Volkov before and after he settled down with Stephanie.

Vino was even meaner than me. He did not spare Pemela’s daughter a look.

He had been about his daughters since they came into this world, and I commended him for his dedication.

“So, where will you stay?” I asked Leah, and she smiled and shrugged.

“I was hoping to spend the week with you,” she said, trying to sound seductive, but her voice rolled off me as if it were nothing.

I did not argue. I just took her home.

The look on Amelia’s face when she saw Leah with me was priceless. Although she hid it immediately, I caught the look.
