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

Fuck, I was nervous. I am an Alpha, I shouldn’t be nervous. But I could feel the clear signs as I walked next to Amie to

have dinner with her brother and his mate. I had known Amie and her brother were close, she had told me stories, but

after seeing the two of them together. I got it. They had this bond between them. I needed to get along with this wolf, it

was important to Amie. She hadn’t told me as much, but I just knew it. I liked Beta Elder, I had done from when I met him

for the first time at the Alpha summits. If nothing else, we both had an interest in protecting Amie. But his best friend was

her true mate. That had to make him standoffish to me. I didn’t fool myself to think he saw me just as Amies Alpha and

friend. He had to see the truth, if nothing else his mate should have told him. I didn’t think he was okay with us just

because he seemed to keep his Alpha away from Amie. That would be more for Amie”s sake than anything. So, I needed

this evening to go well.

‘Are you okay? You are acting weird,’ Amie mindlinked me.

‘What do you mean? I’m just walking,’ I told her.

‘Yeah. In this weird kind of way. If you feel uncomfortable with having dinner, you can just drop me off,’ she offered.

‘No. No! I can do this,’ I insisted. Amie stopped and looked at me.

‘You sound like you are heading into battle. It’s just my brother and Becky. You have met them before.’

‘I know. I’m blowing this out of proportion. I just really want them to like me.’ She smiled at me.

‘Of course they will like you. And if my brother gives you any trouble, you tell me and I will tell mom,’ Amie told me and

took the hand I didn’t have the food basket in and gave it a light squeeze.

‘Deal,’ I told her. I relaxed a little and looked up to head towards the communal building where we would have dinner in

one of the rooms. I froze and my hand went to Amie’s shoulder to keep her from turning. ‘Don’t look,’ I said. Of course

she turned her head and looked at what I was looking at. I should have known she was too stubborn to do what I told

her. James stood at the entrance to the communal building . He was in the middle of a make out session with a woman.

They were as close to having sex in public as was possible without actually having it. I looked down at Amie, worried what

the mate bond would do to her. She scrunched her nose at the scene.

‘I would have thought he would go for someone better than Cindy. But to each their own, I guess,’ she said.

‘Are you okay?’ I asked. She looked back at me and I searched her face for hidden pain, I didn’t find any. She smiled.

‘Don’t worry. The mate bond is too frail to cause any issues. If anything, it just got weaker.’ She took my arm and made

us move forward. ‘When he first rejected me, I would lie in bed and torture myself with images like that one. I always

knew Cindy had her eyes on James, and on my brother, too. She likes power. Back then I spent countless nights crying

bed. That was until I figured out I was just hurting myself. I accepted that

I stopped torturing myself,’ Amie told me.
