The Dark Side Of Fate novel Chapter 199

~Vino~

I was heading out to visit some people in Lucland when I heard a voice calling and crying. I knew it was Leo's girlfriend and immediately linked Sylvester.

"Sylvester. There has been an accident or attack; not sure, but everyone is injured except for Amelia. We need to go and get them," I linked my brother, and he responded that he was on his way.

The moment Amelia got to the entrance, I held her.

"Shh, calm down. It's okay, we are on it," I said, but she was hysterical and distraught.

She did not seem to understand anything that I was saying.

Her tears were falling freely, and I wondered what to do. Whatever happened must have been traumatic to get her this way. I began to fear for the others but tried to keep calm for Amelia's sake.

"'Calm down, Amelia; I have linked everyone. Calm down; they will be fine," I said, holding her and she looked at me with teary blue eyes.

They were gorgeous. I was used to her moon orbs. I guess her wolf had blue eyes. Her eyes were swollen from her tears, so I held her waiting for them to bring her robe.

Sylvester joined us outside, ready to head to the site.

"Take your hands off Leo's woman," He warned me gently through the mind link, but I held on to her, waiting for them to bring the robe.

I knew my brother was worried because of the issue between Leo and me, but I did not see a mark on her neck, and the truth was I wasn't even looking at her in that light.

If what they said about Amelia was true, then she was family. However distant her bloodline might be, she was still family. I held her, and the robe and Jeep arrived simultaneously.

She wore it, and I helped her get into the Jeep's passenger seat so she could show us the way. Sylvester got into the back, and I went to the driver's seat.

I was afraid for the people in the accident, and I prayed that the goddess would keep them alive. Losing more people would be bad for my heart.

"what is going on?" I heard David in my mind.

"An accident and attack, heading there," I linked back and drove off. Bryce had done as I ordered, bringing the jeeps with warriors and a van to carry our people.

"Show me the way, Amelia, "I asked, and she nodded.

Amelia's wolf had a strong sense of smell. It was amazing to see she would tell which way to go while the Jeep was in motion.

We arrived at the gruesome site thirty minutes later, and all rushed out of our vehicles.

There were two mooned-eyed dead men on the floor. One had a bleeding neck, and the other neck was twisted all the way back.

I figured they were the attackers. There was a faint feel of silver in the air, so my wolf, Grant, went silent.

Amelia rushed to the car, where Linda was sobbing.

The kappa that drove them was lying in the pool of his blood along with the escort.

I wished they had used a convoy.

The damage wouldn't have been this extensive. I wondered how many of the attackers came for them.

Linda exited the car, and Sylvester carried Avery into the van.

Linda joined her in the van, and the van left immediately because Avery needed medical attention.

Amelia went to where Leo lay unconscious on the ground.

"He is breathing," she called out, and our men had to load them in one of the jeeps.

"We need to take the dead men with us, to perform an autopsy. We need to know what they made of," I said, and Sylvester agreed, but it seemed he was anxious to take Theo, Marcel and Leo to the hospital.

Bryce was charged with the duty of clearing the corpse and sending them to the morgue for autopsy.

I gave an order that the pathologist should be guarded at all times. I knew there was more where the attackers came from.

Joining Sylvester and Amelia, I drove them to the hospital following the Jeep carrying Leo, Marcel and Theodore.

Everyone was silent.

Sylvester was the one sitting in the passenger's seat now, and Amelia stayed at the back, quiet.

I would look at her through the rearview mirror.

She looked afraid and distraught.

There was a possibility she had never been in such a situation before.

I hoped for her sake Leo made it because if it were something simple, they should have woken up by the time we got to the site.

The drive to town took almost forty minutes before we finally arrived at the general hospital in Lucland.

I saw the van carrying Avery and Linda, and it was clear they had reached there earlier than us. I was glad because Avery looked like she was in a bad situation.

The medical staff were waiting at the entrance with stretchers to carry the patients.

I watched them load Leo, Theo, and Marcel onto the stretchers, and then we followed them in.

They took them to a special emergency ward preserved for nobles and royals.

I saw Avery in a unit, and a doctor was attending to her.

I knew Avery would be okay from the calmness on Linda's face.

Amelia went to Linda, and Linda hugged her, thanking her.

I do not know what Amelia did, but running from the site to the estate was daring, brave and courageous.

She deserved more than a thank you.

Amelia hugged Linda, looked at Avery, who lay unconscious on the bed, and then returned to us.

I had three beautiful daughters to raise and could not do that as a weak man.

Thinking of everything, I knew exactly what to do about Claudia and accepting my bond with her wasn't the right thing to do.

Sylvester joined me outside, and I looked at him eagerly.

"Avery is okay, and she did not lose her baby," he said. I did not know Avery was pregnant, but I was glad she was okay.

"Marcel is still unconscious because he sustained the most injury; Leo responded to treatment and is awake. Theo just woke up.

Leo has access to his wolf now, but Theo and Marcel still have not gained access to theirs.

It will take a while for them to heal fully.

Dr Olsen said we arrived in time, or they would have died. They had a lethal amount of silver dust in their system," He said, and I was surprised at what he said.

"How could they kill the attackers when they had no access to their wolves? I saw the damage done to them. Unless someone helped them and ran away," I said, and Sylvester shook his head.

"That must be Amelia. She is immune to silver," He said, and I was stunned.

I remembered the corpse on the floor in the forest and saw how big the men were and the extent of the damage done. Only fast and strong wolves could manage that. I had a new respect for Amelia if she really did that.

"Anyway, do not go in there unless you change your clothes because you reek of Amelia, and Leo wouldn't like it," Sylvester warned me, laughing and heading back.

I knew that was what he came out to tell me.

It made me laugh, too, because I knew Leo would think I was somehow, after all, his woman.

I remained outside, and then I picked up the scent again.

It was off home in Cain Island, cotton. She scented of cotton. I looked at her and realised her eyes were icy blue. Her blonde hair was almost white, and she was indeed a beauty. She was about five feet seven inches, with curves in the right places.

It took a lot not to drool.

Her skin was perfectly tanned, which made me know she was from the south.

I wondered where in the south.

I also wondered what she was doing in Lucland.

She stared at me expectantly.

She was also afraid to speak, and that was because she knew I was a Volkov even though I had my mother's last name.

I knew what she was expecting, but this wasn't the time. I did not want to reject her, but I wasn't ready for a relationship yet.

"I know what you are expecting, Miss Olsen, but I can't do this now," I said, and she sighed.

"It is Mrs Olsen," she replied, and I looked at her ring finger, and there it was. A golden wedding band. How could I have missed it?
