The Dark Side Of Fate by Karima Sa'ad Usman novel Chapter 200

~Vino~

I stood still, feeling like an idiot.

It was highly presumptuous of me to think she would be available. Of course, she wouldn't be; she was too beautiful to be single.

I chucked a bit because I should have known. Fate always had a sense of humour when it came to me.

I did not know what to say or what she wanted, so I took a bit to gather myself.

"So I guess a rejection is imperative," I said reluctantly, and her face dropped slightly.

She was about to speak when Sylvester called her.

One of the units had a commotion, and I did not need to guess who it was.

Ignoring Sylvester's warning, I followed Claudia and saw Marcel shaking on the bed.

He was going into cardiac arrest.

I looked at Avery, where she lay still sleeping and was afraid for the Sidrovs.

When Marcel flatlined, Sylvester ran his finger through his hair. I noticed Leo and Theo were equally stricken by sorrow.

"Difubilators now!" Claudia called out.

It was amazing to see her maintain her calm during this time.

A lord had just flatlined in her care, and she was calm about it.

"Clear!" she said, and I watched her try to jump-start his heart with the machine, sending an electric wave to his heart.

She did it three times, and finally, we got a pulse.

"Prep him for surgery, now!" she ordered, and her tone indicated they needed to do it in a hurry. She was strong and in charge.

"What is the matter?'" Sylvester asked her, and I could see beads of sweat forming on her forehead. It was amazing how she composed herself though she was scared.

"He has a ruptured spleen, and I need to stitch it quickly to buy him time for his wolf abilities to kick in. Or the internal bleeding will kill him," she said, and Marcel was wheeled away to the operation room on the same floor while we remained where we were.

Claudia left immediately to attend to Marcel, and we remained where we were, worried.

"We have our work cut out for us," Leo finally said, and I stood away so he would not pick Amelia's scent on me.

Amelia sat close to him, and how he held her made me believe Leo wasn't telling us the entire truth about his relationship with her. She did not seem like a girlfriend.

"What do you Mean?" Sylvester asked him.

"They were impossible to beat," Theo managed.

"We had no access to our wolves, and the overwhelming weakness that came with it was intense. We had experience fighting with silver, so we could beat the attacker, but two more came, and that was it. They had access to their wolves. We were down in less than five minutes," Theo said, and I did not miss that he had just described three attackers, but we only saw two bodies.

"Three Attackers?" I asked, and Leo nodded.

"We only found two dead bodies," I said, and Leo looked at Amelia. He knew she did it.

"The last one got away. I would have chased him down, but Avery needed help," Amelia said, explaining what happened to the third person.

"Wow!" I said, impressed. And I wasn't the only one; Theo was too.

"How did you manage to take down two deltas? You are a delta breed too. So your strength should be the same or less because you are a woman," Sylvester said, and I wondered how he knew their breeds. Maybe Bryce Golubev had called to inform him of their breed.

"We had the same ability but I seemed stronger and faster. I can't explain it, but Aurora knew what to do. I knew their weak spots and struck. It all happened fast," She said, trying to recall the incident, and I was in awe of the woman.

I hoped Leo knew better and treated her better than he treated Tamia because Amelia was another gem in his life.

"Do you know what they wanted?" Sylvester asked.

"Maybe to take Amelia," Leo said, and Linda chipped in, heading towards us.

Her eyes were swollen too. She had cried her heart out in the back of the Limo, holding Avery and hoping her friend would make it.

"They aren't after Amelia. I doubt they expected her to do anything. After they were done with the three of you, they came at us, and that was when Amelia fought back. They had a surprise in their eyes," She said, wiping away her tears, and held her husband.
