The Dark Side of Fate

11 Getting Acquainted

-Tamia-

It would be fair to think someone in my condition would find it difficult to sleep at night, especially after personally meeting the Dark Alpha himself.

After shaking and palpitating on the floor, Kaira and I got our shit together and went to lie on the bed. I slept off immediately.

I woke up feeling refreshed. The bed was comfortable, and I wondered why the Dark Alpha had come to see me. I doubt we will be tumbling in the sheets any time soon.

“I must say, Tamia, The Wolf Lord is hot,” Kaira purred in my head.

“We have to get our shit together and not look weak, or else we will end up being prey, “I told my wolf.

“I think we shouldn’t overdo it; he doesn’t

seem to be the patient type,” she said, and I smiled.

“Then we should test his limits,” I said with a smile, and she purred. My wolf’s understanding of testing the Alpha’s limit differed from mine. Hers had to do with tangling in the sheets. 2

I went to shower in the bathroom, and I was surprised at the number of things at my disposal.

“How do you think Leo is doing? Do you think he will be stupid enough to come here? “Kaira asked me, and I felt a pain in my chest.

It was a sadness. I was so mad at Leo that I

did not know I would miss him. The

separation was going to be hard on me. He was all I had ever known, and contrary to everything he did wrong, I knew Leo would have died instead of giving me up. It was

what fate did to us.

“I hope for all our sakes he stays in Mountain and does not come all the way here with warriors. He will be a father soon;

Amanda needs him. Our story is over,” I told Kaira, and tears rolled down my cheeks as I spoke to my wolf.

I had not really mourned my situation until now. I took off my clothes and got into the bath to weep.

I was so mad at him, and everything was so complicated. Now I might never see him again.

Leo was my best friend. I hated fate. It

brought Amanda and the Wolf lord into our lives and messed everything up. I knew he tried. Seeing how other Alphas handled the

situation, he did well. Amanda wouldn’t

have won if her father wasn’t an Alpha. Leo would have ignored her until she got the message, but bringing her into our home made it impossible. Still, he tried to the best of his ability. I wept.

I was in the bathroom for a while before leaving it.

“Where are you?” I heard Avery’s voice in

my head, and I sighed.

“In my room,” I said.

“We are having breakfast with the ladies. Warning, do not refer to our host as the Dark Alpha; they do not like it. The Beta made me understand it last night,” She said, but there was more to him that she didn’t divulge last night.

“What about last night?” I asked her.

“Gosh, Tamia, he is a steed,” She said, giggling. 2

“You are naughty,” I said.

“Well, I have to make the most of my

situation. Contrary to our first impression of him, he is a gentleman. How did it go with the Alpha?” She asked me.
