Game of Destiny – A Thrilling Tale of Power, Love & Fate

Sam and I escorted Amie back to our cabin. On the surface she looked relaxed, but I could see the tension in her jaw and

the way she played with the hem of her t-shirt.

“How about you go up and call your mom, and I will bring you some ice tea,” I suggested.

“That sounds nice,” she admitted and walked upstairs.

“How is she doing?” my aunt asked as soon as I stepped into the kitchen.

“Being brave and keeping it together,” I said as I filled a glass with ice tea.

“Sometimes it’s okay to not be okay,” my aunt reminded me.

“I will make sure she knows it.”

“Good. And it’s okay for the Alpha to look after one of the pack for an evening if she needs it. We will manage for an

evening,” she continued.

“Subtle,” I told her. She smiled, handed me a plate of cut up fruit and patted my arm.

“It’s my middle name.”

“I thought your middle name was Rebecca,” I said. She laughed.

“Maybe that is why I’m not subtle at all. Or maybe it just means I have a smart mouth for a nephew,” she told me.

“Hey, I’m the Alpha, some respect please.”

“Go and be useful, oh mighty Alpha,” she said. Rolling her eyes and shoving me out of the kitchen. I headed up the stairs with a smile.

‘Fin, my dad has asked if you could join our call,’ Amie mindlinked when I was halfway upstairs.

‘On my way,’ I said. I was worried about what this was about.

‘You can say no,’ she told me when I was at her door.

‘Not a chance, Red. I need to score some points with him,’ I told her and walked into her room. She was sitting on her

bed with her phone. I put the glass and the plate on the desk and then walked over to her. I didn’t know what to do. It

seemed too intimate to sit down next to her, but I had no idea how to get into the frame of the call any other way.

“He’s here. One moment,” Amie said. She scooted a little to the side, making room for me between her and the

headboard. I took the hint and sat down. On the phone I saw what I assumed was the entire Winstone family. In one

frame, I saw her brother and his mate. In another, there was an older couple. Amie was a near copy of her mother. All
