~Leo~
Tamia's call brought back painful memories, and I soon found myself walking on the street where the hotel was. I couldn't go back to my room. I couldn't see Amanda.
I was blind and weak. I was stupid and gullible. I helped Ramsey mess up my home.
All I had to do that night was reject her. I shouldn't have gone to talk to her. It was true when they said we should always tame our wolves and not let them drive or direct our actions.
My life was a mess because I allowed Black to control me. I lost a great woman and companion because of a stupid bond.
Hearing that Sylvester and Tamia were now fated broke my heart completely.
Maybe if I had rejected Amanda and Tamia rejected Devin, we might have been fated. The goddess had already blessed our union under a blue moon. Why did my wolf destroy everything? I walked, tears streaming down my face.
I had never cried so much in my life, but this year had been hell for me. I had cried so much this year that tears had become normal. They fell easily, and I did not fight them. Everyone knew I was a wreck, and there was no hiding it.
I could not believe Amanda had the effrontery to see Tamia and make requests.
I have to commend Tamia for her self-control.
I doubted I would have honoured her request if I were in Tamia's shoes. Tamia and I had a great life, and Amanda helped her father ruin it.
Not because she loved me or wanted to be with me but because her father wanted to take the east from me.
I walked and thought of everything. From when Ramsey began to clamour about me taking advantage of his daughter. Never for once did she come out and confess it wasn't true. Tamia might have asked me not to alert her, but I was done playing nice with Amanda.
I did not care if she was carrying my pups. I knew she wouldn't have tried this with the likes of Devin or Sylvester. I must have come across as a weak man to everyone for them to use me like this. The fact that I loved peace did not make me weak.
"I don't want her anymore," I heard Black say in my mind. I could feel his anger. No one would be happy learning we were pawns, and a means to an end.
"Tamia would never use us. Amanda destroyed us," Black said, and I could understand his pain.
"You should have ignored Amanda's wolf's call, but you didn't. You left Tamia's side and went into Amanda's room to claim her. You put us in this mess, Black," I told my wolf angrily because he had betrayed me the most.
"I am sorry," He whimpered in my head.
"Sorry won't fix it, Black. Sorry won't change things. It won't bring her back to us," I told my wolf, and we were both in pain.
"When you came to me, you promised you would protect me, be my strength, and never hurt or mislead me," I reminded my wolf.
