The Dark Side Of Fate novel Chapter 106

~Leo~

Tamia's call brought back painful memories, and I soon found myself walking on the street where the hotel was. I couldn't go back to my room. I couldn't see Amanda.

I was blind and weak. I was stupid and gullible. I helped Ramsey mess up my home.

All I had to do that night was reject her. I shouldn't have gone to talk to her. It was true when they said we should always tame our wolves and not let them drive or direct our actions.

My life was a mess because I allowed Black to control me. I lost a great woman and companion because of a stupid bond.

Hearing that Sylvester and Tamia were now fated broke my heart completely.

Maybe if I had rejected Amanda and Tamia rejected Devin, we might have been fated. The goddess had already blessed our union under a blue moon. Why did my wolf destroy everything? I walked, tears streaming down my face.

I had never cried so much in my life, but this year had been hell for me. I had cried so much this year that tears had become normal. They fell easily, and I did not fight them. Everyone knew I was a wreck, and there was no hiding it.

I could not believe Amanda had the effrontery to see Tamia and make requests.

I have to commend Tamia for her self-control.

I doubted I would have honoured her request if I were in Tamia's shoes. Tamia and I had a great life, and Amanda helped her father ruin it.

Not because she loved me or wanted to be with me but because her father wanted to take the east from me.

I walked and thought of everything. From when Ramsey began to clamour about me taking advantage of his daughter. Never for once did she come out and confess it wasn't true. Tamia might have asked me not to alert her, but I was done playing nice with Amanda.

I did not care if she was carrying my pups. I knew she wouldn't have tried this with the likes of Devin or Sylvester. I must have come across as a weak man to everyone for them to use me like this. The fact that I loved peace did not make me weak.

"I don't want her anymore," I heard Black say in my mind. I could feel his anger. No one would be happy learning we were pawns, and a means to an end.

"Tamia would never use us. Amanda destroyed us," Black said, and I could understand his pain.

"You should have ignored Amanda's wolf's call, but you didn't. You left Tamia's side and went into Amanda's room to claim her. You put us in this mess, Black," I told my wolf angrily because he had betrayed me the most.

"I am sorry," He whimpered in my head.

"Sorry won't fix it, Black. Sorry won't change things. It won't bring her back to us," I told my wolf, and we were both in pain.

"When you came to me, you promised you would protect me, be my strength, and never hurt or mislead me," I reminded my wolf.

I sat up in bed feeling complete rage, and Black keeping his promise, receded to the back of my mind, promising not to interfere this time.

"But it is your fault that you came into my home and broke my marriage. It is your fault that you could not speak the truth to the alphas when your father lied that I had accepted you and taken advantage of you on the balcony. It is your fault that you sowed discord between Tamia and me by telling lies and pitting us against each other. It is your fault, Amanda," I said, and she shook her head, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"No, Leo, it is Volkov's fault that she is not in your life. He attacked the region and took her from you as tribute. Had he not attacked our region, she would have still been with you. You have an issue with him," she said, and I giggled. Knowing her father caused the incident that led to the attack made me giggle.

"You think Tamia and I wouldn't have defeated our attackers?" I asked her and laughed.

"She is a true Luna, a warrior. She might be a delta breed, but your alpha wolf has nothing on her, Amanda. Tamia and I have weathered storms and conquered packs together. We were a formidable force. I did not defeat your father alone, Amanda; Tamia was by my side. She fought, planned, organised and did everything to ensure we got to the top and do you know why?" I asked her, and she shook her head.

"Your father killed her parents, and I promised I would disgrace him, and he knows, hence why he has been silent. Tamia and I dared to lead the east, and we did a good job at it, so do not think Volkov's warriors stood a chance against us because they didn't. Tamia left because of you," I said, and she bowed her head and began to cry.

"You wanted to be head Luna of the east so badly that you forgot to look up the requirements," I said to her, feeling thoroughly disgusted now that Black wasn't in the picture.

"She has forgiven everything and moved on. Why can't you?" she asked quietly, and I felt her wolf coming to the surface, calling onto Black.

Arla had a way of calling on Black when things got heated between Amanda and me, and this was one of those times. Still, Black was keeping his promise and remained unresponsive.

"Tamia can move on because she does not have to live in the same house or wake up next to you. To me, you represent everything that went wrong in my life, Amanda. I can never love you because you wrecked my home with lies. I do not know why your father would help you like this. Did he not love you enough to want you to have a man that is truly yours? Instead, he helped you force your way into my home to become my mistress, playing second fiddle to my wife. If I did not know him, I would say he did not father you," I said to her, and she looked at me, and tears streamed down her face profusely. Her eyes looked haunted, as if I had peeled a hidden scar.
