The Dark Side Of Fate 03 A Moment To Ponder (Book 3)

~Liam~

I was yet to wrap my head around what I had just heard. I sat on the couch, trying to make sense of everything. Beta Mike had gone on a mission with Alpha Thompson. That was what Sophia insinuated, so why the murder? I remembered how he looked when he came from the back of his house. He had just showered, and he seemed a bit uneasy. What could have come over Mike to make him do this?

I now understood why Sophia’s mother said I couldn’t help them. I sat on the chair, clueless and confused. I should be celebrating by now, and Sophia should be with me; instead, there was a shadow of gloom over me.

“You’ll be alright, Li,” I heard Harper’s voice in my head. I turned towards her, and her eyes were misty where she stood next to Lilly. Eleanor was in tears, too, and Gemma was consoling her.

How could my life take a turn in one night?

“It gets better, Liam,” My Grandmother said, and I looked at her and shook my head.

“I never got to say goodbye or tell her how I feel. I never got the chance,” I said, and she nodded and came to sit beside me on the couch.

“As cruel as this may sound, you should be grateful. We cannot be associated with that family. A serious crime has been committed, and Head Alpha Christian would hunt for them. Right now, their lives are forfeit,” My Grandmother said and sniffled.

“Poor Sophia, such a gentle soul. How unfortunate is she to have such a father. Whatever the issue might have been, Mike should have thought of the well-being of his family and not acted foolishly, and now, he has destroyed their lives. His wife and child will remain in hiding for the rest of their lives. They have to live in perpetual fear for the rest of their lives. They will always be fugitives,” My Grandmother said.

“How are you sure he did it. Did they ask the Gamma and Delta?” I asked, hoping that somehow they were mistaken and Mike was innocent.

“No, son,” Grandpa Jake said. There was heavy sorrow in his voice.
