The Dark Side Of Fate by Karima Sa'ad Usman novel Chapter 115

~Tamia~

I took a deep breath and turned around to see Leo approaching.

Avery chuckled, knowing I had been avoiding Leo.

"We faced ours. It is time for you to face yours," Linda said, laughing at me, and before I responded, she and Avery walked away giggling. They were just naughty.

"Hey," Leo said softly when he approached me.

"Hey," I replied, and he sighed.

"Do you mind us talking in the lounge? I promise I won't take too much of your time," He said, and I looked at him.

There was a time he did not need permission to talk to me at all. Everything had changed, and my heart had left him behind.

"Sure," I said and led him to Sylvester's lounge.

"Sylvester said we can be friends," He said while we walked, and I frowned and looked at Leo.

"He did?" I asked, and he nodded.

"Yes. He said we had a history together, and he did not want to erase that. Moreover, he trusts you," he said, and I smiled, knowing that Sylvester could say something like that.

We entered the lounge and went to sit on the couch. Leo sat on the couch next to mine so he was close.

There was an awkward silence between us, and he broke it with a sigh.

"Tamia," he said, his voice shaking and broken.

"I am sorry," He apologised, and I shook my head, wanting to stop him, but he covered my mouth with his palm gently, and I looked into his eyes. They were pleading with me to let him speak, so I relaxed, and he withdrew his hand gently.

"I fucked up. I had just one thing to do, and I fucked up," he said with misty eyes.

"I threw everything we had away on that Balcony that day. I should have remained by your side, and I should have let her go, but I was weak and stupid. I guess deep down, I thought you would always be with me. I thought you would stay with me no matter what. I thought I could handle it. My twisted mind thought it would be okay.

The hurt in your eyes when I told you she was pregnant let me know I failed. I threw it all away. Love, life and peace. I threw it all away.

We have been together for so long. You are all that I have ever known, and I threw it away.

You were there before my wolf. You were there when I was a nobody, and the mountain was a small pack in the east. You were there.

All my happy memories are with you. I did everything with you. You were my strength and my wisdom, and I threw it all away," He said, and his tears began to fall freely.

"I cry every day. I have cried so much more this year than I did in my entire life, yet the tears are not enough, and the pain is still raw.

When Sylvester rejected Susan, I was relieved and ashamed at the same time.

Relieved that you would not go through the same pain twice, ashamed because I had failed the test." He said and held my hand.

"My heart still beats for you, Tamia, and there is nothing I can do about it. I love you. I know I shouldn't feel that way anymore, but I can't stop loving you.

What happened to us isn't your fault or Amanda's fault. It was mine. All I had to do was reject her and love you, but I wanted to keep it all. I was greedy and mean.

I was cruel towards you. I may not have beat or disgraced you like Max and Kyle did to Avery and Linda, but I made you share.

I slept with her in the very house we bought together.

I left our room and went to hers to please my wolf.

What I did was despicable, and I deserved to lose you," she said and wiped away his tears.

"Sylvester is a great guy, and I am happy you ended up with him. I was scared he would put you in his harem, but he did the right thing by you and loved you beyond my capacity," he said, and I relaxed a bit.

"I want you to know that I support your love, and you have my blessing," he said, and tears streamed down my face because I knew he was speaking from his heart.
