The Dark Side Of Fate by Karima Sa'ad Usman novel Chapter 168

~Amelia~

I felt awkward eating with Alpha Leo. I wasn't lying when I told him I had eaten already. I never joked with my food, but that was his way of apologising for being short with me for not including Leah.

It wasn't my fault because I did not know she would follow him home.

When he told her to mind her business, the look on her face was priceless.

I was full, so I ate very slowly.

After I was done for the night, I left the house and returned to the servant quarters.

I was worried about my night because I was yet to accept his rejection. I was scared that they would get together and I would suffer the pain.

The truth was I did not want to writhe in agony in the servant quarters.

It was bad enough that most of the Omegas hated me. I did not want to give them something to talk about.

I lingered outside the quarters for two hours, waiting to see if something would happen so I could suffer outside, away from everyone, but when nothing happened, I went in.

I did not bother to shower. Some Omegas were still awake, but the lights were out, so I just removed my clothes. I was too tired to wear my pyjamas, so I went to bed in my underwear.

A searing pain on my writs woke me up. I woke up immediately, and there was a crowd by my bunk.

"Theif!" I heard some people yell, and I wondered what had happened.

"Drag her out!" Someone yelled, and before I could say anything, someone pulled me by the hair and began to drag it out.

Aurora wanted to take over, but I tried to stop her. I did not want people to know I wasn't affected by silver like other wolves.

"What is going on?" I managed, a bit angry, and someone slapped me. They began to beat me, and I doubted they were using just hands.

They were clawing, punching and kicking me on the floor.

The pain was so much that Aurora took over. There was no point hiding that silver did not affect me so much.

I did not shift, but it lessened the pain.

The silver normally impeded my healing, but that was all. I had access to my wolf but not all my functions. I could not link anyone or shift fully, but my strength remained, and I could partially shift.

I contemplated fighting them and ripping most of them to shreds, but they were too many for me to be successful, and if what they were saying was true, I knew I was finished. There was no need to add murder to the charges.

If they accused me of stealing, Alpha Leo would believe them.

He had caught me stealing once and wanted to lock me up for it; I dreaded what he would do if I were accused of stealing shit and killing Omegas.

I did not want to die, so I bore the pain and controlled my rage.

I heard Macy's voice yelling at them and begging them to stop.

They eventually listened, and I was made to kneel in their midst.

Though on my knees, I refused to bow my head or cry. I looked at them defiantly to let them know they were too little to break me.

Macy was in tears, and I saw her holding a pearl necklace.

I knew whose necklace it was.

It belonged to Alpha Leo's ex-wife.

I knew I was finished.

There was no way I could explain my way out of this.

I had never won defending myself.

Seeing the pearl in Macy's hands, I knew my days of bliss were over.

I had just two days. Two days of peace. I wasn't fully settled yet, and they did this to me. I knew I would be locked up and then back on the streets in no time.

Macy asked me to explain myself, and I held my tongue. There was no use.

The omegas wanted to continue their actions, but Macy tried to stop them. She even tried to scare them by telling them Alpha Leo would be mad, but I knew he wouldn't be.

When I heard his voice, I gave up completely.

All I could think of was what I would do out there alone again. I wasn't going to be allowed to hang around the pack.

"So this is it," I thought to myself.

Aurora receded the moment I saw him; I knew she was waiting to see him.

The look of disappointment in his eyes when they told him that I had stolen from him made me lose the battle with my tears.

When he asked me why I did it, I could not say anything; there was no point in speaking. I just braced myself for what was to come.

What Alpha Leo did and how he handled the matter shocked me. He was indeed meant for me. I did not need to speak for him to know that I was set up.

There was nothing to prove I was innocent, yet he figured it out.

I had never been grateful for anything in my life; I was grateful when he was dishing out punishments to the Omegas for messing with me the way they did. I was grateful to the moon.

Macy took off the silver while Alpha dealt with the bitches.
