The Dark Side Of Fate by Karima Sa'ad Usman novel Chapter 209

~Leo~

Theodore's phone rang a couple of times. He did not answer, so I dialled the number again.

I excused myself from the living room and went to my room to speak to him.

I motioned for Amelia to follow me.

I did not want to leave her in the living room by herself.

Kyle and Max weren't good company for her because they would ignore her and catch up on events. They needed that space, and I did not want Amelia to feel left out.

She followed him into the room. I still had my phone to my ear in one hand; I used the other to pull her to my body and kiss her neck.

Yes, many bad things were happening, but I will not lose a second with Amelia.

Theodore finally answered the call.

"Hey, Leo. Couldn't stay away from the north, ey?" he asked, and I chuckled lightly.

"Not really, Theo. I am calling to inform you that the silver-dust people overran Kyles's pack. They killed people and chased the rest of them off the land," I said, and he was silent a bit. I think he was letting it sink in.

"They killed people?" he asked, concerned for the lives lost to the attack.

"Yes, Theo. They killed innocent people, but that isn't all. What baffles me is that they did not occupy the land. They warned that the land should be bare, or they would return to wipe it out again. Kyle confirmed they pumped silver dust into the air. He is currently homeless right now. I wanted you to know because Linda's land is part of what they took." I said, and I heard him sigh.

"I am sure the land is the least of our worries now. It is baffling to think that these people are getting bolder," Theodore said, stating what bugged me.

"Yes. They are. I wondered why they would do this," I said, and he sighed.

"What about the silver-cheating Alpha in your territory? Do you think he has anything to do with this?" Theodore asked, and I sighed.

"It is not his mode of operation, so I doubt it, but I will summon him to speak to him tomorrow. I doubt he will be honest about anything since he cheated in his challenge. I will be able to read his body language and understand him and the situation better," I told Theodore, and there was a pause.

"Okay, Leo, please be safe. We are planning our trip over there. Sylvester is trying to find someone reliable to handle the affairs while we are away.

Lucas wants to come so Sylvester can't handover to him.

Once that part is sorted, we will be on our way. I will inform Linda of what has happened.

I doubt she would mind. Kyle has already returned her money in full so she would be understanding," he said, and I was proud that Kyle did the right thing even though he was a douchebag.

"So where will Kyle be staying? What about his pack members? Are you absorbing them?" Theodore asked me, and I sighed.

"He will stay with me, but Max is already with me, and I have absorbed him and his pack members. I also have plenty of displaced Western folks in the east.

I do not have the space to house over a hundred people. I was hoping you could help with that," I said, and he chuckled.

"Of course. We will just assign our Lunas with the task. Send all of them here. There is land, and our cities are bigger than those in the east." He said proudly, and I relaxed about it.

"They are actually three hundred plus," I said, and he paused.

I knew Devin had his hands full in the south, so convincing him to take in Kyle's pack members would be hard. I did not mean to push my luck with Theodore, but I had to try.

"All right. Just until everything is sorted, Alpha Christian will find places for them." He said, and I thanked him. I guess the number made him change his mind about charging Linda, Avery, Nicole and Katya with the task. I wanted to laugh, but the situation was too glum for such a reaction.

"Linda is so excited that we are coming to the east. I think she built a friendship bond with Amelia. Amelia is all she talks about. And honestly, when you guys left yesterday, she cried.

I can't wait to come to the east too. A change of scenery and a mystery to solve is an amazing adventure to look forward to. Those council meetings have bored the hell out of me," He said, laughing, and I was happy with how lightly they were taking the matter. I hoped it was as light as they made it seem because truth be told, I did not need an adventure right now. I wanted a wedding, children and a happily-ever-after, not this silver nonsense.

We said goodbye, and I hung up.

"How did it go?" Amelia asked me. She was sitting at the foot of the bed and looking expectant.

She, too, did not seem bothered.

The straight face and pitiful look were for Kyles's benefit so we won't seem insensitive. I went to her and gently touched her nose. She potted and smiled.

"You are already wearing your luna shoes, Moonlight. You cared for Kyle the way a luna should, even though you had all the reasons not to. I am proud of you," I said, and she beamed at me.

"The call went well. He will break the news to his wife, and they will take the three hundred people heading to the south. So I need to call Devin to send them to the north when they arrive in Greenville. I also have to ensure he provides proper transportation for them." I said, and she agreed with me feeling bad for the displaced people.

I called Devin, and he answered on the first ring.

"Leo, you remembered me today," he said, sounding jovial on the phone, and I chuckled.

"How are you, Devin?" I asked, and he smiled.

"Better than I was last week?" He said, referring to his low mood when we were at the meeting. I hoped Susan would sort her shit out because Devin likes her, and she has a better chance of being happy with him.
