The Dark Side Of Fate by Karima Sa'ad Usman novel Chapter 212

~Leo~

Alexei had dropped a bomb on me, and I remained fixed in my seat. I stared at his moon-coloured eyes and saw the resemblance with my Amelia.

Everything he had told me was bugging me, and I felt beads of sweat on my forehead.

We had all thought this uprising bullshit was over, but we had just scratched the surface.

Lord Lucas Sidorov had insisted that the uprising was too big for Larry to have orchestrated singlehandedly.

Even Larry had bragged about us having more to deal with during his sentencing, but we had brushed it aside because we wanted to close the matter. We wanted our happily ever after so severely that we disregarded Larry's words.

We should have taken him seriously and accepted everything he said thoughtfully.

I knew it didn't add up when Larry wanted to kill all of us with silver dust when we busted into his apartment in Gad. He had wanted to end his life.

It was odd to see someone that had done so much in the bid to install himself as King want to carelessly throw his life away like that. He must have figured his life was forfeit since we had caught him and decided to die and take us along.

I was glad that he was still alive in prison. He had refused to die, so it might be to our benefit.

I looked at Alexei, and he just remained quiet on the chair.

I leaned forward to ask more questions.

"Do you know the location of this cult?" I asked him, and he shook his head

"They move occasionally but are between the east and south. These were the regions they ran to when Dimitri was after their life," he said, and I did not feel safe. If I had those things lurking in my territory, they could strike anytime.

I had a lot of questions for Alexei.

I took out my phone and searched for the photo of the coin.

Finding it, I showed it to Alexei.

"Do you know what this is?" I asked him, showing him the coin's image, and he nodded.

Then reached into his pocket and brought out a replica. His was old, but it looked the same.

"This belonged to my father. He gave it to me, so I will not forget my heritage." He said, and I dared not reach for it because it was silver.

I also noticed the ease he used to take it out, and that was how I knew he had truly cheated Max, but even if he did not cheat Max, he would have won.

Seeing Amelia's fast speed, I knew her brothers would be the same.

"It is our family insignia," He said, and I already knew that; I just wanted to be sure.

"What about this?" I said, showing him the picture of Amelia taking something from a displaced man. He frowned, and I scrolled to the image of the writing on the back of the picture.

"Do you know who did this?" I asked, and he shook his head, meaning it was a red light.

"I will have to ask Clay because he keeps an eye on her too. Please send me the photos," he said, and I nodded.

"So Max wasn't lying about you cheating, was he?" I asked, and he sighed and looked at me.

"You have to know it was necessary," he said, and I sighed.

"Just answer the question," I said, and he reluctantly nodded.

"I needed it over quickly and did not want him dead. He would have fought to the death, and it wasn't worth it," he explained, and I nodded.

"So, what are Amelia's special abilities you do not possess?" I asked, and he sighed.

"Well, to start with, she can shift fully with silver in her system. It takes longer, but she can do it if she tries. I learned from our cousin that she had shifted and wounded a Kappa for attempting to take advantage of her. He said the bastard had used silver to weaken her, and she had taught him a lesson.

She heals faster than us, even with silver in her system but not as fast as a wolf without silver. She is also faster and stronger.

We have the same abilities but are a bit slower and have limits.

Amelia doesn't have limits like us, and that is because her mother was a Beta with Stepanov's distant genes.

So it made her more enhanced than us.
