The Dark Side Of Fate 67 What Happened (Book 2)

~Devin~

Leo and I discussed extensively what Andrew had told him when I wasn’t around, but he did not make it too complicated for my benefit. I wasn’t in the right frame of mind, and he knew it, so he made it short and hoped he would see me soon.

“Okay, keep me posted on what you need. Alexei would soon be there. He left us after breakfast. I am sure you will be welcome there,” Leo said, ready to end the call, and I was glad Alexei would be around.

I hung up and handed the phone to Casper.

“So you will be returning?” I asked him, knowing he was Leo’s beta and the second most important man in the east. He shook his head and smiled.

“Alpha requested we remain with you and return with you in two days.” He replied, and I was grateful for Leo’s kind gesture.

I thanked Casper.

“Did the warriors pick any of the arrows that were shot at us?” I asked him now that I thought I could process the information.

“Yes, Alpha Corrigan. One of them got hit, and he pulled it out and held it with his mouth. It wasn’t silver but iron,” Casper said, and I was shocked that I did not notice that a tracker got hit. Knowing iron did not affect us; I knew the tracker would be fine.

“I am glad he is alright,” I said, and he nodded.

“Do you think we encountered a different group from Susan?” I asked him so it would not seem like I was overthinking and analysing the situation. Casper nodded.

“That arrow was expensive. Silver isn’t a cheap metal, and an arrow made from silver is expensive. Whoever shot that arrow wanted her dead, but they had no time to assess her body. Maybe they were called away,” Casper said, and I knew I would have to wait for my mate to wake up so I could ask her what really happened.

I remained seated on the chair, hoping Susan would soon open her eyes, while Casper excused me.

Luna Alia sent me clothes and food and then made a couch available in the hospital room for me to sleep on.

She must have somehow figured I wasn’t going to leave the place. I was grateful for the accommodation and hospitality.

Two hours later, Alexei came to see me.
