106 Truths and Lies Part 1


    ~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 ck to control me. I lost a great woman andpanion


    because of a stupid bond.


    Hearing that Sylvester and Tamia were now fated broke my heartpletely.


    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 be 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 tomend 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 mour about me taking


    advantage of his daughter. Never for once did shee out and confess it wasn''t true. Tamia might


    have asked me not to alert her, but I was done ying 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 havee 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 ck 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," ck 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 im her. You put us in this mess, ck," 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, ck. 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.


    "Tamia was in my life before you, ck. You have always been a part of me from birth, but you


    came to my consciousness when I was eighteen. Tamia was my friend before then, and we had


    each other''s backs.


    "You promised you would love what I love and protect it with everything, yet you betrayed her," I


    said. I felt ck''s pain, so I had to sit.


    "You threw her away for a feeling, a bond that we could do without. You gave our enemy an opening


    to torment us. You made us weak. Did you see what Sylvester did at the ball?" I said, feeling


    ashamed of myself.


    "He had a history with that woman, so the pull would have been stronger than ours, yet he


    honoured his promise. His wolf honoured his choice. His wolf did not knock him out and do the


    unthinkable; his wolf allowed him to make a choice and epted it," I said.


    "You cheated me, ck. You knocked me out severally, battled me unceasingly, and kept trying to


    make it work by force. Every time I tried to touch my wife, you fought me. Every time I chose my


    wife, you fought me. You ruined me. You betrayed Tamia; you betrayed me, ck. If I could


    separate myself from you, I would in a heartbeat because you have done more harm than good," I


    said, and he was utterly silent.


    "But I do not me you, ck. You were like a child in a candy store. I shouldn''t have given you


    free rein. I should have held on to control and stood my ground; I should havepleted my


    sentence on the balcony and spoken the right words to break free from her. I should have ended it


    on the spot, but I let it fester and gave it room to ovee us. So I take the me for everything," I


    said, and ck whimpered.


    "We can''t lose more than we already have. We cannot continue to let Ramsey run circles around


    us. I hope you know what we need to do?" I told my wolf, and he growled.


    "We need to be the opposite of who we are; we need to be ruthless and unforgiving when dealing


    with the bastard. It means dealing with Amanda too, even though she is carrying our pups. As


    things are, that pregnancy seems more like a trap than a coincidence because, to be honest, we


    weren''t ready," I told my wolf, and he growled some more.


    "I do not want Amanda anymore; she has betrayed us," ck said firmly. I was determined to help


    him keep that resolve.


    We returned to the room, and Amanda was awake in bed; her eyes were puffy, and she looked


    worried. I did not say a word to her. I went back under the covers andy down. Amanda looked


    troubled and stared at me, still sitting in bed.


    "Tamia is nevering back to you, Leo; you must move on. You can''t keep punishing me like this.


    It isn''t my fault that we are fated," She said to me, and I almost raised my hands at her because she


    had said the very words I said to my wife.


    I sat up in bed feelingplete rage, and ck keeping his promise, receded to the back of my


    mind, promising not to interfere this time.


    "But it is your fault that you came into my home and broke my marriage. It is your fault that you


    could not speak the truth to the alphas when your father lied that I had epted you and taken


    advantage of you on the balcony. It is your fault that you sowed discord between Tamia and me by


    telling lies and pitting us against each other. It is your fault, Amanda," I said, and she shook her


    head, tears streaming down her cheeks.


    "No, Leo, it is Volkov''s fault that she is not in your life. He attacked the region and took her from you


    as tribute. Had he not attacked our region, she would have still been with you. You have an issue


    with him," she said, and I giggled. Knowing her father caused the incident that led to the attack


    made me giggle.


    "You think Tamia and I wouldn''t have defeated our attackers?" I asked her andughed.


    "She is a true Luna, a warrior. She might be a delta breed, but your alpha wolf has nothing on her,


    Amanda. Tamia and I have weathered storms and conquered packs together. We were a formidable


    force. I did not defeat your father alone, Amanda; Tamia was by my side. She fought, nned,


    organised and did everything to ensure we got to the top and do you know why?" I asked her, and


    she shook her head.


    "Your father killed her parents, and I promised I would disgrace him, and he knows, hence why he


    has been silent. Tamia and I dared to lead the east, and we did a good job at it, so do not think


    Volkov''s warriors stood a chance against us because they didn''t. Tamia left because of you," I said,


    and she bowed her head and began to cry.


    "You wanted to be head Luna of the east so badly that you forgot to look up the requirements," I


    said to her, feeling thoroughly disgusted now that ck wasn''t in the picture.


    "She has forgiven everything and moved on. Why can''t you?" she asked quietly, and I felt her wolf


    coming to the surface, calling onto ck.


    A had a way of calling on ck when things got heated between Amanda and me, and this was


    one of those times. Still, ck was keeping his promise and remained unresponsive.


    "Tamia can move on because she does not have to live in the same house or wake up next to you.


    To me, you represent everything that went wrong in my life, Amanda. I can never love you because


    you wrecked my home with lies. I do not know why your father would help you like this. Did he not


    love you enough to want you to have a man that is truly yours? Instead, he helped you force your


    way into my home to be my mistress, ying second fiddle to my wife. If I did not know him, I


    would say he did not father you," I said to her, and she looked at me, and tears streamed down her


    face profusely. Her eyes looked haunted, as if I had peeled a hidden scar.
