The Dark Side Of Fate by Karima Sa'ad Usman novel Chapter 222

~Leo~

I was surprised to see Devin with Susan.

I pretty much remembered him saying he was done the last time I saw him. I wondered what had changed.

They looked happy, and I knew they had just got back together. I wouldn't ask him about it, but I would be happy if he volunteered the information.

Amelia sat on the couch in our bedroom and sighed. I knew the place would need a little-getting-used-to, and I couldn't blame her.

Tamia had felt the same way about the place, so we did not move in when it was completed.

I felt it was better to have my officers and me living in our bungalows.

It gave us all the privacy that we needed.

Living here would be difficult for both of us, but it was something we had to put up with.

I was yet to tell Amelia that our northern friends were coming. I wanted it to be a surprise. Seeing the room she had prepared for Tamia and Sylvester blew me away.

She gave them the best room and hung Tamia's old pictures on the wall. I wondered what she did with the rest of them. I dared not ask her, but I knew she would find a way to keep them. She wasn't the jealous kind, and she knew she was the only woman in my heart. That was enough to put my mind at ease.

"Do you know they are engaged?" Amelia said, beaming from ear to ear, and I frowned, wondering whom she was talking about.

"Alpha Devin and Susan. I did not miss the engagement ring on her finger," Amelia said, and I wondered how she managed to assess Susan so quickly.

They did not say too much to each other, but Amelia had taken to her quickly.

I had reservations about Susan, but I would respect Devin's choice.

I wasn't so good in the judgement department either. If I were, I wouldn't have gotten into Amanda's trap.

Overall, her uncle and cousin were the traitors, not her.

Her only crime was trying to get back with Sylvester after he had moved on with Tamia. The event played in my mind whenever I saw Susan; I hoped I could let it go.

"Good for them," I said to Amelia, and she smiled at me.

"I can't believe we moved into this place to accommodate them," Amelia said, looking at our bedroom, and I sighed.

"Not really; my parents are on their way. Hopefully, they will show up this time. I also do not know if we will receive more guests from the south. We have to be prepared. There is no space in our bungalow," I explained, and she agreed.

"So, who will do the cooking here?" Amelia asked, and I did not figure that part out. I knew she liked handling my food, so it was only expected that she would want to do the same thing here. I also felt it would be rude to eat separately from our guests.

"Alpha, Alpha Corrigan is searching for you," I heard a Kappa's voice in my head, and I knew he wanted to discuss the incident in the south. I did not know how to respond to Amelia's question about food, so I went with the best response.

"Whatever you decide, I am up for it," I said, quickly leaving the room before she said anything else.

I laughed while walking down the corridor because of Amelia's surprised and confused look when I was leaving.

It would be best if she instructs the Omega to cook, but I will allow her to decide on her own.

I walked quickly until I got to the lounge. To my surprise, Susan was there, and then I felt a pang of guilt for leaving my mate in our room.

"Join me in the lounge," I linked to Amelia immediately.

No response came, but I knew she heard me and knew she would come. Silence was usually a good thing with Amelia because she was bold enough to always speak her mind.

I sat on the couch, and Susan greeted me again.

"What made you move out of your shoebox?" Devin asked, holding a drink in his hand, and I laughed.

"Call it whatever you must, but it is my Haven," I replied, and he laughed.

"Just joking; what made you move to the packhouse," He asked me on a serious note.

"Too many guests and no space for them to occupy. This was the best way to go about it," I said, and he looked around the lounge.

"I do not see anyone here, Leo," he said; and I nodded.

"Yet," I corrected.

"No one is here except you two, of course, but the guest would build up," I assured him, and he nodded.

He touched Susan's hands gently and smiled at her.

"I want to inform you that we are getting married on the night of the blue moon," Devin said, and I acted surprised.

I was surprised, too, because I wasn't expecting Amelia's observation to be that accurate, but it was.

"Wow, that quick?" I said, and he nodded.

"I didn't want to waste any more time. We'd wasted enough," Devin said, stating his reasons, but he wasn't my concern. The fickle-minded Susan was my biggest concern.

What happens when she gets up and says she is no longer interested? I kept my reservations to myself because I could be wrong. I congratulated them.

Amelia walked in at that moment, and Susan smiled at her. She sat beside me with a couldn't-stay-away-from-me look on her face, making me chuckle a bit.
