The Dark Side Of Fate novel Chapter 247

~Leo~

"I want you to listen to me, Timothy, and do as I say. I will send aid to you now," I said, and the man was silent.

"I need you to evacuate your people and send them to Hill Valley, nearest you," I said, and he exclaimed.

"Hill Valley, where that creep is?" he said, and I sighed.

"You have to trust me on this one. Alexei is not the enemy, and he would not take your pack. Inkabod is the one that sacked Brent in the night, and I think they are coming to sack Brentwood to get a base close to Mountain. Do as I say, and I will explain the rest to you later," I said, and he was silent.

"Okay, I will trust you on this one, but you will find a good Alpha to take over Brentwood from me. I want to retire, and Mirabel isn't an Alpha breed," He said, airing his problems.

I told him not to worry and hung up.

Usually, I would tell Timothy it wasn't my business, but I needed him and his people out of that land before Inkabod came for him.

"Amelia, I need you to get everyone in the living room of the packhouse. I am coming there now," I linked my mate.

"Leo, I am halfway away from the packhouse," She complained, and I felt terrible.

"Never mind, I will go back," She said, and I still felt terrible that I would put her through stress.

I told my parents what Inkabod was about to do, and my mother was happy.

"Let's make some darts and load them up with Promethazine and midazolam. Shot that thing at them, and capture the bastard. They will attack with an army of twenty-five to thirty. They never go above that number. They are not as plenty as they seem hence why they operated in the shadows for a while. I am sure the three Stepanovs here, the warriors, and our darts would nullify them.

They are also likely to pump silver into the air. They always do that to keep people like us in check. You need oxygen masks for that. It will touch your skin and burn but won't get into your system. The Nitric acid sprays are needed too. Forget about your wolves. They won't let them come out," My mother said, rushing through her words.

It seemed like my parents had a checklist of how to battle these things. I was glad to have them home.

The bungalow was too small to accommodate all of us, so I led my parents to the packhouse. I would have loved Amelia to meet them away from everyone, but Inkabod's coming attack on Brentwood had put us on a clock.

We arrived at the packhouse, and my father commended me for building something grand and beautiful. I led them to the living room, where everyone was waiting.

Amelia stood up and came to me the moment we entered.

I knew she was nervous because it had clicked that they were my folks. I looked like my father, and she was very smart.

Amelia held onto my arm while my parents looked around to admire the place and the people that were waiting in the living room.

Tamia was shocked to see my mother, and my mother went to hug her.

I felt weird because Amelia was right beside me.

My mother broke the hug with Tamia and came towards Amelia. She touched her cheek gently and smiled at her.

"Hello, Amelia," she said, and Amelia smiled.

"Amelia, meet my mother, Martha Albert, and that is my father, Richardo Albert, but my mother calls him Richard," I said officially, introducing my parents to Amelia.

"I wanted this to be private and just us, but something came up," I linked to Amelia.

"It is okay; I hope I get time with them when all this is over," She linked me back, and I was glad she wasn't difficult or emotional about it.

"You look so much like Louis," My father said, and I figured he must have known her dad.

"Did you know him?" I asked my father, and he nodded.

"I helped him a lot when he had to move about. We lost contact when he fled to the West. Clay was a child then, and Alexei was in the north with his mother," My father said, and he did know them. It also meant Alexei and Clay were not lying to me.

"Your father was a good man. He was peace-loving and easily content. To think he was the true heir and he did not want any of it," My father told her, and she smiled at him.

Amelia could not feel sentiment over a man she never knew. I was angry that Yuri robbed her of that opportunity. He ruined many lives and still is ruining lives for his ambitions.

Everyone sat down, and Clay and Andrew walked in. I had forgotten entirely that they were with us.

The moment Andrew saw my father, he froze.

"Elder Albert?" he said, and my father looked at him sternly.

"You had some nerves trying to get my son to team up with that psycho," My father said through gritted teeth, and everyone was silent.

I noticed Sylvester, Marcel, and Theodore were observing the scene. I had to respect Sylvester for allowing me to take charge even though he was King. It took a lot of patience, trust and humility for him to do what he was doing, and I appreciated it.

Amelia instructed the Omegas to bring refreshments and said they could serve anything other than spring rolls. Avery was grateful for it, and Susan laughed.

"What is going on, Leo?" Sylvester finally asked me.

"Inkabod will be visiting Brentwood tonight, just like Alexei had warned us," I said and narrated all that Timothy and I discussed on the phone.

"It means we do not need that bitch as bait," Linda said, and I nodded.

"We can't fight him and whatever army he takes to Brentwood. You needed to see them, Leo; they were ruthless and deadly. We stood no chance," Kyle said, reliving his ordeal, and I nodded.

He wasn't referred to as the Dark Alpha for nothing.

He wasn't feared for no reason.

He could be nice, but he was ruthless.

"Leo, gather your men and all that we need. We are going to Brentwood, and we are going to capture Inkabod. He might be immune to silver, but we will improvise. This whole Stepanov cult thing has to end. My grandfather might have wronged them, but they have caused more damage and thus are not owed retribution. What drives them is greed." He said and then looked at Andrew.

"I do not care what your sentiments are. But if you know you aren't on our side, you better run because if you work against us, I will hunt you down and kill you. Do not let your Stepanov ability fool you; I do not need my wolf to put you down," He said, and we were all silent.

I was yet to see Sylvester on the battlefield with those things, but I knew he would hold his ground. Our fight at the Lucland hospital showed his strength. He wasn't to be messed with at all. He might not have the concentrated genes, but he trained all his life, making him a deadly opponent in a fight.

"I won't work against you, your majesty. I swear on my life," Andrew said, baring his neck to show submission.

Now that it was settled, it was time to visit Brentwood.

I called Alexei and pleaded with him to accommodate the Brentwood pack members.

My mother, Amelia, Tamia, Claudia, Susan and Linda worked with the omegas to prepare the darts.

Masks and goggles were made available, and even though I knew we would look ridiculous, it would serve the purpose.

We also got tanks of Nitric Acid to spray into the air once they Spray the silver dust.

Nitric acid would eat and dissolve the silver making the air breathable and giving us access to our wolves.

There would be people on stand-by to spray the acid into the air every time they spray silver. My parents were indeed geniuses. I guess joining the cult paid off after all.

With the hope that all this would work, I selected fifty warriors from my pack and armed them.

Sylvester insisted on coming with us, so we could not leave anyone behind. Marcel, Theodore, David, Dominic, Vino, Max, Kyle, Andrew, Clay and Devin were all thrilled and eager for the fight.

This was the first time we would test our might against them, so we needed to get it right. This fight would determine whether we had a chance or not.

Casper had prepared a getaway car for Sylvester and Tamia. No matter what happens, we must ensure the King does not fall.

Amelia would fight with the men while Tamia, Linda, Avery, Nicole and Susan would use the darts from afar. Katya, Claudia and Avery would remain in the packhouse because Katya and Claudia weren't trained fighters, and Avery was pregnant; we didn't want to risk their lives.

We set out to Brentwood in the afternoon, so we will position ourselves and wait for Inkabod to come. It was time to test our theories.

We were risking a lot by having Sylvester with us, but I felt good about this.
