The Dark Side Of Fate by Karima Sa'ad Usman novel Chapter 216

~Devin~

I left the living room immediately and went to my garage to get my truck. What Lukman had said was mind-boggling, and I was worried—I had never heard of such a thing before.

"Alpha, what should I do?" Alice asked me through the mind link, and honestly did not know what to tell her. I wasn't in a reasonable frame of mind.

"You can do your normal chores and help Susan if she needs anything. I might be long," I linked her back while I drove towards my office.

I closed the mind link before she could respond.

I tried to keep things short between us because the girl had a major crush on me, and I could do nothing about it. I hoped she would find someone soon. Until then, I had to suffer the attention of a crush.

I got to my office, and Lukman was already waiting outside. I alighted the truck and moved to the passenger's side while he came to the driver's side to drive the truck.

"What happened?" I asked him the moment he started the engine, and he sighed.

"It was horrible, Alpha. The evil bastards invaded the place at midnight and asked them to leave the land in the morning, but Alpha Micheal refused. He claimed it was his family's legacy. The evil people decided it was only befitting that he died along with his pack on the land." He told me, and I frowned.

"How did you learn this?" I asked, knowing he said everyone died.

"A few people, about twenty or so, survived. They were lucky to hold their breaths and hide, but they sustained silver burns. I have asked Delta Dwayne to bring them to the hospital in Greenville. But they won't move until we have spoken to them," Lukman said, and I was sad by the news.

"Is the air clear of silver?" I asked, and he nodded.

"Our men went to test the atmosphere. Those people died in the early hours. The perpetrators were long gone by then." He said and sighed.

"They also left you a letter with the survivours. No one has read it yet," he said, and I told him it was okay.

We drove for a bit and then arrived at Pridewood. That was the pack where the inn where Maurice died was situated. It had its memories. Dominic and I had fought on that land when he tried to attack me for revenge. My best warriors were from there. The people that did this wanted to cripple my defence.

The moment we entered the settlement area in Pridewood, I saw corpses on the floor.

There were excavators digging mass graves, and we gradually drove through the residential area.

My heart was broken.

The way the people died showed that they were trapped and surrounded. There was just so much people that did not have access to their wolves could do.

The people that did this were cowards.

"The witnesses said they had weird-looking eyes. That they looked blind." Lukman added, and I did not need to guess what type of eyes they had. Could they have been Amelia's relatives? I did not know what to do, so I took out my phone and called Leo.

Leo answered on the first ring.

"Devin," he said, and I sighed.

"I have been hit, Leo," I said, and he was silent.

"Those mutants came to Pridewood last night and asked people to leave so they could take over the land. I think they wanted Pridewood the same way they wanted Brent, but unlike Kyle, who chose life over land, Alpha Micheal was too proud to surrender and walk away. He claimed it was his family's legacy, so he would remain. They granted him his wishes. They pumped silver into the air and surrounded the village, killing its residents.

They surrounded the people to ensure they breathed in the silver and did not escape. They all died except for a few that hid and did not inhale the Dust." I said, and Leo was silent. I knew he was processing what I had told him.

"You should tell Sylvester," Leo said, and I growled.

"Not after I have taken off Clay Newton's head," I said.
