The Dark Side of Fate

76 Through Leo’s Eyes

~Leo~

Max, Kyle, me, and our polo teammates arrived at the north nervous.

We had no clue how to play the game, but we knew Sylvester would be playing Polo, and Kyle wanted to discuss the exchange of Linda for Rebecca.

Likewise, Max, who miraculously concluded that he needed Avery and not Michelle.

I tried to talk them out of it, but they refused to listen.

I was the leader of the east; it was my duty to support them.

Supporting them would torture me because I could not bear to see Tamia with the wolf Lord.

I knew I had sent her a goodbye letter, but my guilty heart could not say goodbye. She was everything to me. There was no way I could get over that.

I wanted to come with Amanda so she would not be alone, but she had things to do; she promised to join me soon, and I hoped she would come. We had been trying, and I believed we were making progress. When I learned Devin was around, I panicked for Tamia because if what he was saying was true, then he would draw her attention. I could not reach him or Tamia, so I opted to wait until the ball.

When we arrived at the ball, I was nervous while Kyle and Max were eager to see the mates they maltreated and threw away.

It was amazing to see how delusional they were.

They were either unstable or stupid.

I knew those women would not return to them, and they would end up disgracing themselves trying to play Polo.

Maxwell and Kyle had only two weeks of polo training; I wondered how they would survive on the field against people that had played the game all their lives.

When Linda entered with Gamma Theodore, Kyle complained bitterly. Her bump made him sick, and he got so angry I thought he would have a fit. Their eyes met, but she looked past him as if she did not know

him.

Gamma Theo seemed to be taken by her, and he paid much attention to her.

Pulling out her seat and helping her sit. She was introduced as his fiance. How the hell was Kyle hoping he could beat that?

There was no way they would exchange Linda for Rebecca. He had just set himself up for humiliation at the games for nothing.

Theodore seemed to adore Linda, and I could see it in their eyes; they were in love. It would be easy for her to fall because Kyle irreparably broke her.

I wondered how Theo did it, but I had to commend him for being the man for her.

I had failed her as the leader of the east. If I knew of all Kyle was doing to her, I would have stopped it, but it was kept private. Nonetheless, I felt responsible for her pain.

Avery entered and was introduced the same way. I began to wonder how these women did it.

It was as if Sylvester and his friends split our wives amongst themselves and fell in love simultaneously.
