The Dark Side Of Fate 64 Finding Susan (Book 2)

~Devin~

Everything Andrew told us troubled my soul. I couldn’t get past the fact that the Sullivans were involved, and I could not overlook that Susan came to me the night the place was attacked.

What were the odds that she would be so lucky?

I was torn between believing her and investigating her.

When I asked her if she was involved, her response and emotions gave me the answer I needed, but I doubted it would be enough when the council is involved. Before falling asleep, I decided I would protect her at all costs. We weren’t mated yet, but she was my Luna, regardless. I believed her and would do everything it took to protect her.

I woke up to an empty bed and wondered where she was. There was no sound coming from the bathroom. I touched her side of the bed, and it was cold.

I wondered if she ever returned to the room after she left to get some milk.

Still wondering where she might be, I saw a note on the nightstand. I reached for it, which had my name in Susan’s handwriting. The sight of the letter made my heart beat from fear. I opened it with shaky hands to read.

“My dear Devin,

By the time you read this, I will be far from here. I have thought about the situation, and I know I can’t win this. The situation is too convincing to be a coincidence. Even if you are willing to give me the benefit of the doubt, the council won’t. They will quickly move to make me a scapegoat.

As much as I love and care for you, I cannot hang around and wait for the council to waste my life.

I do not want to be a casualty, so I am leaving.

I hope you catch the culprits soon.

I hope the truth comes out and I am exonerated.

Do not think I do not love you enough, Devin. I am running because I love you.

It would be best if you did not go against the council and the King for my sake. It will be suicidal, and we will give the enemy what they want. We can’t afford to be divided. I hope we win this so I can return home to you.

I love you.

Susan.”
