The Dark Side of Fate

51 Fate in Love

over something like this, but my heart

was conflicted.

Every fibre of my being wanted him.

I wanted to throw away my love and promises and accept fate.

It was overwhelming and euphoric.

All that existed at that moment was him.

I was angry not because I went to the north, but because he knew I was

“Now you hold a rose and say, Mate?” I said, and Kaira pleaded with me to take it

easy, but I was mad.

“Why Devin? Why didn’t you save me? Why didn’t you claim me? When I wanted my fated to come and rescue me, to take

my pain away. I prayed so hard the goddess answered, but you weren’t

willing.

“Why now? Do you hate Sylvester so

much that you want to hurt him the worst way ever!” I said, and he shook his head, tears streaming down his face, looking
