The Dark Side of Fate

{Book 2} Chapter 48 – ~Leo~

I remained sitting beside Amelia at the foot of the bed. The shock of my father’s call still ran through me, and I didn’t know how to shake it off.

I did not know how to feel about his call and its urgency. It was baffling.

I was mad, confused, shocked, name it. I felt all the emotions pouring through and did not know how to sort through them.

My parents had been gone for seven years, and I somehow believed something had happened to them. Hearing my father speak on the phone was mind-bugging. Why would they finally reach out after all these years? What had changed?

It was customary for Alphas to take a long trip once they had handed over to their successor, but they usually returned home or stayed in touch. It was a way of enjoying a burden-free life.

Most Alphas settle elsewhere, so they do not feel the urge to get involved with pack matters, and it is reasonable.

Goddess knows I will need that time away from my pack so Amelia and I can collect ourselves and start a family. Too bad I won’t have that luxury until we hand the pack over to our successors, and that was twenty-one years from when we have children.

We still had a long way to go.

My parents, on the other hand, went missing in action. There was no explanation for their disappearance. Tamia and I were worried for a while before we decided to move on and hope for the best.

I wondered what had happened. I also hoped bad network coverage was the reason the phone call ended because my father sounded like there was trouble.

If only he had called me with an actual number, I would have called back and had it traced. I would just have to hope that they show up as promised.

Amelia touched my hand gently without speaking. She understood me so well, and I wondered how. She knew this wasn’t the time to ask questions, and I respected her for it. She was giving me the time to process what was happening.
