The Dark Side Of Fate by Karima Sa'ad Usman novel Chapter 203

~Leo~

I had been waiting for everyone to leave Amelia and me alone. When they all left, I breathed with relief.

She was in my arms, and I held her tight and kissed her neck. I could not express my emotions until this moment.

Twice she had saved my life and asked for nothing in return. Twice she had risked her life for me.

"Thank you, Moonlight," I said, and she wrapped her arms around me and sank into my embrace.

"I was afraid, Leo. I was scared," She confessed, holding me tighter.

I could only imagine what she went through seeing me on the ground, unconscious.

I could only imagine the courage she would have needed to run back to the mansion and get help and her mind's condition throughout the situation.

I held on to Amelia and thanked the goddess for her.

Finally, fate dealt me a good card. It rectified my hatred for it and rebuilt my trust in it.

She wept in my arms, and I tried to calm her down. She was holding a lot in all through, and I had to commend her for control.

I knew she was brave all through. I was proud of her. She was just as tough as a Luna should be.

"Amelia, it is okay now. We are okay now; Avery and Marcel will be fine," I said, and she broke the hug. Then looked at me with her moon eyes.

"Let's go back to the east, Leo. I want to go back," she said, and I felt it coming.

The accident and attack were going to be traumatic because I suspected nothing like that had ever happened to her directly before.

It was only normal that she would no longer feel safe in the north.

"They cannot prove we are related through the DNA sample. The lab technician got abducted for it. It really doesn't matter, Leo. You are my family now; that is all that counts. Let us go back to the peace we had in the east. Things were more manageable there, Leo. We just had the small bungalow and pack members to deal with. This is too much for me right now, Leo. I want to go home," She said, and I touched her cheek gently.

"Calm down, Moonlight. We will go home. Once Avery and Marcel are discharged, we will leave for the east," I said, wiping away her tears with my thumb, and she nodded with relief.

"What will we tell them is our excuse?" She said worried about hurting their feeling, and I laughed a bit because Amelia was sweet like that.

"I do not live in the north, I only stayed here this long because of you, and since the test has come out inconclusive, there is no point in remaining. They won't take offence, Amelia. They will understand." Explained to her, and she relaxed in my arms while we remained cuddled on the couch in the hospital room.

Dr Claudia had told us that they would be awake later in the afternoon and she would discharge them then. I hoped it would be quick because I honestly wanted to return home.

I missed my house and how Amelia ran it. I missed my pack and everyone back home.

Something about the danger in the north made me want to hide Amelia from it.

All I wanted to do now was be with Amelia and live a simple life with her. I felt somehow we wouldn't have any issues away from this.

If they had attacked because of Amelia, we would deal with the matter in the east to avoid bringing problems to our friends and their families.

I needed to be rational.

Tamia, Linda and Avery had children. They were all starting to enjoy their lives; it was wrong to bring this upon them. Amelia and I would have to sort things out in the east, and hopefully, Devin would work with me on this. If everything Vino had said was true, then their main target was the east and south, and it will be unwise not to be on the ground.

I was grateful that Sylvester had banned Alexie from challenging anyone; it meant we had time to solve the issue with Max's pack and secure the eastern region before the takeover succeeded.

Amelia fell asleep on the couch in my arms, and I stayed awake to watch her.

Avery was the first to come through. She was a bit disoriented, So I called for Dr Claudia to attend to her.. seeing that Marcel was out of it. I pleaded with Claudia to make Avery sleep a little longer.

I did not want her to be distressed in her condition. It was best Marcel woke up before her so she would not experience the fear of losing her husband. It was imperative.

Claudia gently sedated Avery because she was getting hysterical. I watched Avery gradually go back to sleep, and I prayed that Marcel would be up before she wakes up.

I decided to have a word with Dr Claudia because I was surprised that I recovered faster than Theo and Marcel.

"Councilman," Claudia said with the most respect, and I nodded.

"May I have a few questions, Miss Olsen," I said, and she smiled.

"Actually, it is Mrs Olsen, but my husband is late," She said, and I felt so bad for her.

It was a very sad thing to hear. She was also too young for that kind of experience. The woman was around twenty-five.

"So sorry to hear," I said, and she smiled at me.

"We were married for a year before he died in an accident two years ago. I should have annulled the marriage, but I did not want his name forgotten." She said, and I felt terrible for her.

I did not want to imagine what she would have gone through mentally in those moments. Suddenly I felt weird asking her my questions.
