“What about Devin?” I asked.
“His excuse checks out. The north attacked the south because they knew of their alliance with the east,” He said, and I growled. I wanted to find his faults so I could go after the bastard, Bane or whatever he called himself; I was sure he bled the same as all of us. I would have found a way to enact my revenge.
“I need you to mail this to the north,” I said, handing him my letters. Casper looked worried and afraid of the content of the letter.
“Do not worry, Casper, it is a farewell to my wife and a plea to the Wolf Lord,” I said.
He collected it and left.
Three days later, I learned Devin was around, and we were all summoned for a meeting. I was eager to go. I might have given him some respect in the past, but he didn’t have my respect anymore.
I arrived at the party, and there was an uproar. Everyone was still grieving their loss; even Max was grieving Avery. Sometimes I believed he was psychotic.
I knew he did not treat his luna well, I wondered why he was grieving her, but it wasn’t my place to ask.
I saw Devin where he was listening to everyone’s complaints, and I walked up to him. He was about to speak when I punched him hard in the face.
“That is for flirting with my wife,” I said, wanting to do it since the night he danced with her. I sent another one again.
“That is for abandoning your duty and making me lose my wife in the process,” I said, and he was in shock.
“Tamia is dead?” He asked, looking pained to his soul.
“No, arsehole, she was taken as a trophy, “I said, and other Alphas came to hold me. I watched rage rise in his eyes.
“They took her? We must get her back, Leo,” he said
“You and what Army? After what happened in our region, we should lick our wounds and move on. There is no way we can defeat that madman. We have lost enough. We lost things we can never
recover; people we love. There is no point walking down that road again,” Alpha
Christian said, and others agreed with him.
“The Wolf Lord does not rest. He will find a reason to return until he owns this region fully,” Devin said, and I laughed.
“He already owns this region. Why do you think he took the Lunas of the three most powerful packs in the east? To stake his claim. I know we will hear from him soon, “I said to stupid Devin.
“We can act before he decides to station his men here,” Devin argued.
“I do not have anything else to give, Devin.” I said, feeling defeated.
“Alpha Kyle did not attack the west. the Wolf lord just needed a reason to attack here. That is his method. He is sick like his father. He will be no different, trust me. He will return for your region if we sit around licking our wounds. We have to take the battle to him.
“And then what?” I asked him,
“Just because you are skilled does not make you an expert in these things. I am beginning to think you got to where you are by luck,” I said, and Devin growled at
“My kindness towards you is because of Tamia, do not stretch it, Leo. I am warning you. Your wife was an amazing woman, however brief our meeting was. It wasn’t like you had any respect for her. You had another woman in your arms when I saw you. You introduced that woman as your mate, so don’t come here. pretending to be wounded by this.” He said, and as unfair and untrue his words. about my emotions were, my actions were the same.
“I think we should leave well enough alone and comply,” Alpha Christain said. I decided to walk out of the meeting.
Alpha Ramzey accosted me, as always.
“When is Amanda returning to you? You should marry her now that Tamia is gone, ” he said, and I shook my head. The incident was still fresh.
“So quick, Ramzey. I will never marry Amanda. Fate might have wielded it. I have fulfilled all obligations to her, but I will never marry her. Mountain will only have one luna in my lifetime, and that will be Tamia. Tell Amanda she can come home if she wants to.” I said and stepped to the old man.
“Let this be the last time you will approach me like this again. I do not want you to ever speak of my personal life again,” I warned him and walked away. Whatever they planned on doing in that meeting would no longer concern me. I have made peace with the Wolf lord, and I will not look for his trouble for Tamia’s sake.
**Tamia**
I had spent two weeks in the north, and my living conditions remained the same.
Slyvester was good company when he wanted to be and was silent most of the time.
As much as people feared him, I was a bit relaxed around him.
He exuded much power, but I did not let it faze me. In fact, I saw it as a challenge.
I spent a lot of time in the library and in my room.
We had beauty treatments every other day, and I noticed love blooming between Avery and Marcel, the Beta.
I was happy for her. I saw her smile in ways I had never seen before, and I wondered how far they were willing to go with this.
I met other Lunas that were in service, and while some of them were happy, some were neutral about their condition. But no one was abused or maltreated.
They treated the women nicely; some had even found love in the north with a warrior or an officer. It was like an everyday life, not the slave and master scenario painted for us.
It comes down to saying people never really know the truth about anything unless they are in it and experience it first -hand.
I lay on my bed, wondering what Leo was doing. I was sure Amanda was over the moon about my exit. It would no longer be three nights a week for her anymore. She gets to keep her fated to herself and, in a few months, welcome their pups into the world.
I was happy for them but sad for me, because they have something I will never have, A home, family, love and continuation in their pups. My future wasn’t really certain because the alpha was unreadable.
“Come to the east garden, Marcel; let me throw a cocktail party there,” I heard Avery’s voice, and I managed to get off the bed.
