The Dark Side Of Fate By Karima Sa’ad Usman Novel {Book 2} Chapter 3 –

~Leo~
Honestly, Amelia was giving me the creeps. She sat at the table staring at me most of the morning. She wasn’t doing anything wrong, but her grey eyes were difficult to ignore. It was as if she was waiting for something.
“It is afternoon, Alpha. What would you like to eat?” She asked me, standing up from her chair.
“Anything that will fill my stomach and make it for two,” I told her.
“Yes, Alpha,” she said and headed toward the Kitchen.
The moment she left the living room, I was grateful.
Finally, I could breathe.
I could swear she was staring at me with wolf eyes.
Black felt like he was being choked by it, and honestly, the rejection made me feel a little weak, but I did not care.
I could not ruin my life twice.
The fact that we were fated spoiled it, coupled with how I found her. Fate was like a plague, something I never wanted to discuss or experience again. Henceforth I make my own destiny.
” That girl seems mischievous,” Black said, growling in my head. He did not trust her.
“Of course she is. She is a thief,” I said, and he growled.
“Why to let her work in our house, Leo,” he asked me, complaining about her presence.
“If she decides to revert to her old ways, she will be my mess to clean up,” I told him, and he understood my reason. It was my way of helping her and keeping an eye on her.
I had instructed Macy to ensure she wasn’t allowed anywhere other than my house. I did not want her stealing other people’s things.
One hour later, just when I was about to get into what I was doing on my laptop, Amelia started arranging the table.
I honestly thought she would stay longer in the Kitchen. I guess I was wrong. I wasn’t looking forward to eating food that she made, but I had hired her, and it would be mean not to try it.
“Food is ready, Alpha,” She said gently, and I looked at the table. Three covered white dishes with a bow and plate were on the table. I put down my laptop and reluctantly went to the table to try what she had made.

“Mashed potatoes, gravy and lamb chops,” She announced, and I hated to admit to her it was my favourite combo. I kept a straight face and sat at the table. She dished the food gently.
When I was about to start eating, I saw her take out her spoon and taste everything on my plate without asking me. She took one of the lamb chops with her hand and began to eat it.
I looked at her, surprised.
She had Gravy smeared on the corner of her lips on the right side. It would have been cute had she not overstepped.
“If you are hungry, you dish your food. You are not supposed to eat from my plate,” I scolded her with my command, and she flinched.
“I was just tasting it to show it wasn’t poisoned, Alpha. That was all,” She said, and I felt a bit ashamed of myself after she said it. She moved away from me immediately.
Honestly, I did not want to be a jerk, but I just could not tolerate another fated; rejected or not, she was what she was.
I sighed and took a bite of the lamb chops, which tasted heavenly.
I had never eaten something that delicious before. It took a lot for me to stop Black from drooling.
I opened the dish containing the lamb chops hoping there was more, and I was glad to find more. It was perfectly cooked. The mashed potatoes were creamy, and Gravy was delicious to taste. The dish came together well, and I realised I had hired a chef.
Had she not been what she was, she would have had a good time working for me, but regardless of how delicious her meal was, I would be on my guard.
I finished the meal and hoped she had saved some for herself in the Kitchen.
I was about to leave the table when someone knocked on my door.
“It’s open,” I said, which was my preset response because I rarely ever locked my door now.
To my surprise, Kyle walked in, looking angry.
I did not need drama on a Saturday, but it seemed Kyle had brought his to my home. While I linked Amelia to clear the table, I left the table and attended to him.
I went to Kyle, and he looked past me toward the table and frowned.
“Since when did you have a live-in nanny?” He asked me, and I knew his thoughts were in the gutters.
“She isn’t a live-in nanny, Kyle. She works for me and sleeps in the servant’s quarters. One of the displaced people,” I said, and he stared at her.
“Her eyes are creepy,” He said, referring to her moonlight-coloured eyes. They made her seem a bit blind, but it was unique.
“I didn’t notice,” I lied, and he managed to look away from Amelia.
I offered him a seat on my couch, and he sat down.
“Why are you here? Brent is a long drive from here,” I said, and he nodded.
“I need your help, Leo,” he said, leaning forward.
“You are the head of the council, right?” He asked, and I nodded.
“I need you to throw out Linda’s case,” he said, and I frowned at him because I had no idea what he was talking about.
“What case?” I asked him, and he sighed.
” She sent me a letter asking for her things back. She said she wanted the land and money in my possession,” He said, running his fingers through his hair.
“Those are mine now. My pack lives on part of the land, and I am using the money to run my business. I have even grown my wealth a bit. So I sent her a reply saying she is no longer part of the east, so she cannot own land in the east,” He said, and I could not believe that Kyle could be stupid. I was mad at him.
“She said she would take it before the council,” He said and sighed.
“So you want me to throw it out when her case is read?” I asked him, and he nodded.
“Are you stupid or something? Linda is a Lady now. She is above me. There is a possibility her husband will oversee the case,” I told him and sighed.
“But you know her husband; you can talk to him. He is your friend,” Kyle said, and I shook my head.
