The Dark Side Of Fate 04 Sounds Like A Plan( Book 3)

I remained with my back against the tree, thinking about how best to handle the matter with Sophia. Letting go wasn’t going to be an option. How could I lead one day if I could not save the girl I wanted to spend the rest of my life with? Only I knew how I felt.

“What up?” Miles asked me, taking off his shirt. I shook my head.

“I am not hunting; Alex isn’t in the mood,” I said, and he stopped what he was doing.

“There is nothing we can do about it, Li. Mike fucked up. You aren’t King yet and won’t be for a long time. I think you should just let her go,” he said, and Marvin and Oliver approached.

“Yeah, I think you should let her go, Li. She is great and all that, but this is beyond us. You heard our grandma Stephanie; we can’t get involved. Even our parents can’t get involved. I doubt we would still be in Grizlo if they had told either of our fathers. They know how close we are to the Maguires because of your relationship with Sophia. There is no way they would have let us remain here. Your mom is cool. Mine would have yanked us out of here,” Oliver said, and we laughed.

Aunty Linda was that protective. His words made me smile a bit.

“At least I managed to work your facial muscles into a smile,” He teased, and the rest laughed.

“I do not plan to let her go,” I confessed, and their demeanour changed.

“So what do you want to do?” Marvin asked on a serious note.

“Investigate and find out what really happened, then figure out how to get her and her mother out of the mess should Mike be guilty,” I said, and Miles shook his head.

“Bad idea, Li. You are going to get all of us in trouble for that. That man did it. He ran away,” He said, and I nodded.

“Yet he lied that I did not come by his house so I do not get caught up in the mess. Something is off. He might be innocent, or it might have been self-defence,” I said, and Oliver disagreed.

“What threat were Luna Glenda and her daughter Lara to him that he had to do them in too? His fur was in the claw marks that killed them.” Oliver said, and I nodded.

“I get that part, but what did Beta Mike stand to gain in all this?” I asked, and neither could answer.

“Maybe they had a deal, and money was involved. You know, people do crazy stuff for money,” Marvin said, and I shook my head.

“I doubt that is the case. There is more to this; I am getting to the bottom of it. I can’t let Sophia go like that. I can, and I won’t. I refuse to give her up,” I said, and Oliver rested his hand on my shoulder and shook me slightly.

“Are you nuts? You can’t get caught up in that shit. You know what this may mean for our family. We might be royals, but we have limits, Li. Your father has limits,” He said, and I shook my head, pushing his hands off my shoulder.

“You didn’t hear her on the phone. She was scared,” I said, and Miles nodded.

“She is with her mother. She will be fine,” he said, and I shook my head.
