The Dark Side Of Fate

{Book 2} Chapter 47 – ~Leo~

Theodore’s phone rang a couple of times. He did not answer, so I dialled the number again.

I excused myself from the living room and went to my room to speak to him.

I motioned for Amelia to follow me.

I did not want to leave her in the living room by herself.

Kyle and Max weren’t good company for her because they would ignore her and catch up on events. They needed that space, and I did not want Amelia to feel left out.

She followed him into the room. I still had my phone to my ear in one hand; I used the other to pull her to my body and kiss her neck.

Yes, many bad things were happening, but I will not lose a second with Amelia.

Theodore finally answered the call.

“Hey, Leo. Couldn’t stay away from the north, ey?” he asked, and I chuckled lightly.

“Not really, Theo. I am calling to inform you that the silver-dust people overran Kyles’s pack. They killed people and chased the rest of them off the land,” I said, and he was silent a bit. I think he was letting it sink in.

“They killed people?” he asked, concerned for the lives lost to the attack.

“Yes, Theo. They killed innocent people, but that isn’t all. What baffles me is that they did not occupy the land. They warned that the land should be bare, or they would return to wipe it out again. Kyle confirmed they pumped silver dust into the air. He is currently homeless right now. I wanted you to know because Linda’s land is part of what they took.” I said, and I heard him sigh.

“I am sure the land is the least of our worries now. It is baffling to think that these people are getting bolder,” Theodore said, stating what bugged me.

“Yes. They are. I wondered why they would do this,” I said, and he sighed.

“What about the silver-cheating Alpha in your territory? Do you think he has anything to do with this?” Theodore asked, and I sighed.

“It is not his mode of operation, so I doubt it, but I will summon him to speak to him tomorrow. I doubt he will be honest about anything since he cheated in his challenge. I will be able to read his body language and understand him and the situation better,” I told Theodore, and there was a pause.

“Okay, Leo, please be safe. We are planning our trip over there. Sylvester is trying to find someone reliable to handle the affairs while we are away.

Lucas wants to come so Sylvester can’t handover to him.

Once that part is sorted, we will be on our way. I will inform Linda of what has happened.

I doubt she would mind. Kyle has already returned her money in full so she would be understanding,” he said, and I was proud that Kyle did the right thing even though he was a douchebag.
