The Dark Side Of Fate

{Book 2} Chapter 27 – Determined ~Leo~

I found it hard to sleep. There were so many questions and issues going on in my mind. As things were, I knew telling people what was going on was the right thing to do.

I might not trust the people in my region, but I needed to discuss this with my friends in the north.

Alexie was a big issue.

I did not appreciate that he wanted to start challenging everyone around him just because he could. His hearing on Max’s allegations against him was next month, but I could not wait until then.

How many packs will I suddenly have to take over to protect my people? Timothy was desperate, but Alexie’s actions were insidious. I needed to draw a line quickly.

I thought of the objects I found in the woods and concluded that I would need to protect Amelia. If these people were taking pictures and hiding in the woods, she was important and needed protection.

I doubted they wanted to grab her because they would have before she arrived. I wondered what they wanted and who the ‘she’ was in the sentence written at the back of the photograph.

After tossing and turning, I decided I would return to the north first thing in the morning.

I knew my eagerness to return had other personal reasons, but I held on to the fact that I needed to cry for help because this Alexie guy and the people in my woods were beyond my control.

Something terrible was going on, and these takeovers might have had something to do with what was also happening in the west, causing us to have a large inflow of displaced persons crowding our communities and economic system.

I eventually fell asleep. By the time I woke up, it was nine in the morning. I linked Max to dress up and prepare to return to the north, then dressed up quickly and left my room.

I wanted to make a sandwich before leaving.

Thinking of the sandwich, I knew I had missed Amelia. It had just been a day, and it felt like weeks already.

Whatever I needed to do will be from the north. Once we have decided on her lineage, I will bring her home. I had a firm resolve about her, and I decided to go with my guts, not to doubt her and put in the best effort I could to make it work.

Stepping out, I smelled breakfast and wondered what was cooking in my kitchen.

Max was on the couch looking in the direction of the kitchen. He seemed indifferent about it while Timothy was reading the newspaper on another sofa.

Finally, someone decided to read the news from the papers, not the internet.

Timothy looked up and stood up to greet me.

“Good morning Alpha Leo,” He said with a smile. He looked more relaxed than he did last night.

“Good morning Timothy,” I said, looking at the kitchen section.
