The Dark Side of Fate

51 Fate in Love

~Tamia~

What a joke. Typically people are elated

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.

Kaira wanted to jump and let him take us.

I wanted to let her.

control.

Kaira wanted him. He touched my cheek with his palm, and I closed my eyes to feel his touch caressing my skin, enveloping me in his intoxicating scent.

“Mate,” His wolf said, and Kaira wanted to respond, but I held my lips. I searched his eyes, and they were expectant.

“Why didn’t you say anything that night? “I asked angrily that he had let the moment slip. If he had, I would be in the south and would have never gone to the

north.

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

suffering with Leo and didn’t make a

move to take me from him.

“You sent me back to his house. You let me go back!” I yelled at him, tears

streaming down my face, and he bowed.

“You knew I was suffering. You knew I was in pain. You had the power to take it away. You are Alpha, and you let me go,” I said and stepped back.

“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

the bond can not take that away. The human and the wolf would always be conflicted. Leo loved you, still loves you, and because of that, he hasn’t been able to be happy with Amanda.
