The Dark Side Of Fate novel Chapter 319

~Leo~

I woke up in the afternoon with a little rash on my skin. The medication Erik had sent had done wonders, and I was grateful for it.

Amelia was sleeping peacefully in bed. I knew she was exhausted so there was no point waking her up. There were still things to do.

I had to prepare and wait for Max and Kyle’s arrival with the southern prisoners. I also needed to inform Sylvester of the outcome of the battle in the South. Hopefully, they were already awake.

I wanted everything over and done with so we could all go home and rest.

There was a lot to plan for and a future to look forward to.

I entered the bathroom and stripped down. Standing in front of the mirror I tried to examine the extent of the rash. It was on my left arm and half of my back.

Although the red angry-looking things looked aggressive, they did not hurt neither did they itch. I felt a slight burn but that was it. It was much better than the first one.

I stepped into the shower and opted to use the cold water so I do not aggravate the rash and end up in the clinic, sedated.

I ran the cold water and it soothed the burning sensation of the rash. It was a good idea to shower with cold water. Once I was done. I exited the shower and got dressed for the rest of the day. It was two in the afternoon so we had lost some daylight already.

I quietly left the room and headed towards Sylvester's wing.

“Are you up,” I linked to him and he answered me immediately.

“In the lounge with the others. It took you long enough,” he said and his words made me laugh.

I headed towards the lounge, and true to his words, all of them were there except for Vino, Andrew, Dominic and Theo who should be on their way if no complications had occurred at the hospital in Gad.

I greeted everyone present and they responded heartily.

“Max and Kyle have taken the south," I blurted out with excitement, but the look on their faces indicated they already knew. I was hoping it would be big news but someone had beat me to it and stolen the reaction I desired.

“Lukman called in the early hours. He is receiving treatment for breathing silver but he will be fine. Max and Kyle led bravely,” Devin said and I nodded and sat on a sofa in the lounge.

“Well, they are on their way here with the traitors that defected,” I said and they were surprised. Finally, a piece of information they did not have. Their reaction made me chuckle.

“It is best they stand trial at the king's hall since you are here. If they hold them in the South, they might devise a means to escape. We can't afford to create a future problem for ourselves. It must be over now,” I explained, and Devin smiled.

“Devin will soon be a father,” Marcel told me and I smiled at Devin pretending to be surprised. Erik had already told us so it was known but I congratulated him regardless.

“Congratulations Bane,” I said and we all laughed. He seemed very happy. I guess he will finally have the family he wanted so much. It had all turned out well.

“What about the others? When will they return?” I asked.

Theo, Dominic, Andrew and Vino arrived in a helicopter five in the evening. We went to greet them.

Their mates were first out the door before us. I knew Katya and Claudia were holding their breaths all through, now the celebration will be complete. Walking towards the helicopter. Claudia ran towards Vino and hugged him tight. He was all smiles, Lifting her in his arms and kissing her. She held on tightly and wrapped her arms around him.

“You came back,” I heard her say and I knew she feared the possibility of never seeing him again. Dominic swept Katya off her feet bridal style, while she giggled. They didn’t say much to each other, There was no need for it. I believe they were mind-linking. Linda ruffled Theo’s head before embracing him. She sobbed gently against his chest and he gently stroke her back, reassuringly. It was a beautiful sight to see. Amelia leaned close to me battling her tears.

“She had her heart in her mouth throughout,” Amelia told me looking at Linda by the helicopter and I pulled her close and rubbed her arm gently.

"She can breathe now, we can all breathe now,” I said and I had never felt sure of anything more than I did at that moment. It was indeed over.

Theodore, Dominic, and Vino retired to their rooms with their mates, except for Andrew who had no one, but he retired still, while the rest of us waited for Max and Kyle to arrive. I was anxious because they would have to secure the prisoners at the prison first before coming to the estate. I could not wait to appreciate them for what they had done. I was happy.

Max and Kyle arrived at seven in the evening. We got to know from the gate that they had arrived and we rushed to meet with them. I stood outside the entrance of the building with Amelia, Devin and Alexei and Clay, waiting to receive them.

The cab parked and both of them alighted with broad smiles.

I hugged Max. I could not control my emotions. I was glad that they survived. Then I broke the hug and hugged Kyle who was laughing. There was relief in the air.

Devin thanked them genuinely from the bottom of his heart for fighting and winning a battle that was his. Max let him know we were all the same and his battle was also theirs.

I looked at us and realised we had all come a long way. Not wanting to keep them waiting outside, We ushered them into the building while they told us what happened in the south and how the battle went. It was a very interesting story. The funniest part was the fact that those bastards did not plan to spare the lives of the Alphas that had betrayed Devin. They planned to wipe them out. I couldn't wait for the hearing that would take place tomorrow. Tomorrow will usher in a new era one without malice and prejudice.
