The Dark Side Of Fate

Novel {Book 2} Chapter 12 – ~Leo~

My moment with Amelia was intense. She had poured out her heart and demanded what she wanted. Realising she was ready to let go of comfort, unsure what lies ahead but still willing to put the distance between us, made me understand she would not stick around as long as I expected. It also gave me a reality check.

The moment I kissed her, I was invested. I truly hoped this would be it and not end up in a mess as I did with Tamia.

I put Tamia through hell while she was with me before she moved to the north. I did not see the errors of my ways until later. I prayed to the goddess for wisdom this time around.

I felt terrible for her when she told me why she hated kappas.

I should have sensed it. The fear she displayed every time a Kappa was involved was a dead giveaway, but I failed to piece it together just like always.

She even paid attention to my conversation with Kyle.

I now understood why she broke the dish that day. My words must have made her feel hopeless.

I decided I was going to bring the matter to the council. I did not plan on talking about Amelia’s experience. Regardless of who they are or where they may be, people should be able to get justice for such crimes against them. I am sure It would pass quickly. Nobody should take advantage of anyone or do anything to them against their wish just because they can. The punishment should also be severe.

Three days later, I sat in my office thinking of what had transpired between Amelia and me. Realising I was starting a new relationship made me nervous. I could never try with Amanda, and I was glad; Amelia would be different because I wanted her and was willing.

I was still in my office when Delta Gabriel walked in. He looked a bit happy, and I wondered what the occasion was.

“Good morning, Alpha,” he said with the utmost respect, and I nodded. I couldn’t shake that he planned to take Amelia to town without informing me. I wondered what he was up to.

“I would like to request to be given a day off,” He asked, and I frowned at him.

“Why?” I asked.

“I would like to take someone special on a date, Alpha,” he said, and I got curious.

I never asked my men about their personal lives, but Gabriel piqued my curiosity because of Amelia.

“Does this some even have a name?” I asked him, and he looked confused but knew he had to tell me.

“Amelia Westwood,” he said, and I felt Black stir a bit, but I tried to calm him down. We had spent three days with her, and he was getting used to us being with her.

“Is that so?” I asked him, and Gabriel nodded.

“Have you asked her out yet? What was her response?” I asked him, and he shook his head.

“No, Alpha, but I plan to do so once I get a day off. I would not want to ask her and end up being busy on that day, like three days ago. I was supposed to take her to town, but I had to run errands. She hasn’t spoken a word to me since then, and I believe she might be mad at me.” he said, and I relaxed a bit.
