The Dark Side Of Fate

Chapter 186

{Book 2} Chapter 25 – Back To The Mountain ~Leo~

Max insisted on returning with me to Mountain because he did not want to be alone at the Estate. His past with Avery haunted him, and he did not want to have a constant reminder. I knew it would be torturous leaving him there, so I agreed.

We got to the airport on time and boarded our flight. While on the plane, Max got chatty, and I did not appreciate it at all.

“I doubt Kyle can afford that judgment you gave him. Maybe we can come up with some money to lend him. The last thing we want is Theodore fighting Brent,” Max said, and I shrugged because it was none of my business. I trusted Theodore to isolate his problem to Brent alone.

“Kyle drew the line between us. I am not his friend anymore, so it isn’t my business how he comes up with the money. Besides, I have helped him the best I could; it is now up to him to comply. If it weren’t for his pride, all he had to do was beg Linda, and she might have gone easy on him, but he wanted to prove that he had rights. I do not want to discuss Kyle, Max,” I warned Max, and he nodded.

“Do you think it is wise leaving Amelia at the estate?” He asked, and I frowned at him, wondering why he would even think of asking such a question.

“What is it?” I asked him.

“I mean, your relationship is too young for you two to be apart so soon,” he said, and I disagreed.

“If I can handle the distance, I am sure she can. Besides, my duties to my people and my pack come first, Max. She should understand, and I am sure she does, so don’t try to make an issue where there is none,” I warned him, and he nodded.

“Your duty is to your pack, I agree but look at me, Leo. Had I been faithful to Avery, I am sure she would have remained with me. The pack members abandoned me when they could. They left with their children and spouses. I gave everything to keep them safe and provide for them, and they abandoned me at the smallest opportunity. What I am saying is that I admire your effort and duty but do not neglect companionship because it is a void your pack and duties would not be able to fill,” he told me, and I got pissed off.

“Really?” I asked him, and he nodded.

“My pack was with me through thick and thin. Amanda betrayed me and almost ruined me. We were supposed to be fated, and she almost destroyed me. So do not tell me about companionship.” I warned him, and he laughed.

“You betrayed Tamia first, Leo. Had you not betrayed Tamia, Amanda wouldn’t have had the chance to harm you; that is on you,” he told me, and I knew it was the truth. Although I was over Tamia, I was yet to forgive myself for ruining my life.

“That is why I am being careful this time,” I told him, and he nodded.

“That girl loves you, Leo, and I know you know it. She is nothing like Amanda. She will never hurt you,” he said, and I was silent because even though it seemed like it, I wasn’t sure. I needed to be careful. I needed to be sure she was the one.

“If you doubt her this much, then cut her loose. She is a very gorgeous and decent-looking girl. I am sure she will find someone to love and trust completely. I am afraid you will damage her at the rate you are going because you have no excuse not to bring her along no matter how dire the situation is, but you rather keep her in the north where she is far from you. Had I not known better, I would have guessed you did not plan to go back for her,” He said, and I almost punched him because that wasn’t true.

“I suggest you keep your guesses to yourself because you are getting on my nerves right now,” I warned him, and he smiled and looked away. I planned on flying first class the next time. Business class left room for the proximity I did not appreciate at the moment. Max was getting on my nerves.
