The Dark Side Of Fate

Chapter 1 And Then She Came

~Tamia~

I will not forget the evening my heavenly life turned to hell. I cannot forget the moment my life changed.

My husband, Leo, and I, were at the ball. I did not want to attend, but Leo’s friend and beta was the host, and Leo wanted to honour his invitation at all costs.

I should have pleaded with him to stay at home, but I wanted to be a supportive wife, so I followed him, which was my biggest mistake.

Leonardo Albert was my husband and the alpha of the Mountain pack, making me Tamia Albert, the pack’s Luna.

Leonardo chose me when I was nineteen to be his Luna.

We started courting when I was seventeen, and he was twenty-one. He never touched me because I wasn’t of age, but we fell in love nonetheless and vowed to remain together.

Many women in the pack hated me because Leo only had eyes for me. I wasn’t the most beautiful. In fact, I wasn’t half as pretty as the others, but he saw me, and he loved me.

He loved my green eyes. Leo called me his emerald queen, and that boosted my confidence. He never wanted me to dress provocatively or wear make-up, and I just went along.

Leo claimed me the year he ascended as the pack’s alpha. His parents had decided to leave the position for him and travel, which was what all alphas did once they handed over to their successors.

I wore my luna shoes proudly and performed my duties. I was a trained warrior, so the pack was always in good hands when Leo left our territory on missions.

We had been happily married for five years. I was now twenty-four years old while Leo was twenty-seven.

I loved him so much, and he loved me too. There was no question. Nothing and no one could ever come between us, or so I thought, until the dinner party when my life turned upside down.

We were sitting at a table reserved for us when Leo turned around and saw her. She had long, dark straight hair, blue eyes, full red lips, beautiful tanned skin and an hourglass body. Perfect proportions compared to my pear-shaped body.

“Leo, Leo,” I gently called my mate, but he did not respond. His eyes stayed fixed on her. The beautiful woman in the midnight blue velvet gown. I gently touched his hand, and he shook slightly as if in a trance.

“Tamia,” He said, trying to calm himself, and I smiled at him.

“We should go home, dear; I do not feel well,” I lied, trying to get us out of there, but his eyes had wandered back to her, and she was looking at him now.
