The Dark Side Of Fate

{Book 2} Chapter 52 – ~Devin~

I had a very hectic evening settling the Brent pack members in Greenville. It would have been easier if I had a luna, but my life was messed up like that.

I was still alone.

I lay on my empty bed to relax and looked at my side.

Susan used to lie there.

I turned away because I did not want to think of her.

She had broken my heart.

The trauma that I lost my fated to Sylvester had just faded, and seeing that the woman I had fallen in love with was still hooked on the same guy got to me.

It wasn’t Sylvester’s fault, but it caused me to envy him a little.

I wondered what I did not do right, Rex, my wolf, was lonely too.

Everyone was moving on, but I was stuck in the same spot.

There were nights that I just wanted to pick up the phone and call Susan, but I knew she was yet to get over Sylvester.

The death of her uncle and cousin did not help matters either. Although it was necessary because Glenda and Nicolas had broken too many laws, I could feel her pain.

I turned back towards her side of the bed and touched it gently. Rex howled in my head in pain. This was just too much.

I had done everything possible to get over her, but it wasn’t working. Susan got me. She understood me. I would never find someone like that. I knew it. I did not understand why I wasn’t enough for her. I would have given her my world.

I fought my tears, believing I was destined to live a life void of love.

My phone began to ring.
