The Dark Side Of Fate by Karima Sa'ad Usman novel Chapter 248

~Leo~

We arrived at Brentwood on time. Just as instructed, Alpha Timothy had evacuated his people, but he waited to receive us.

Vino and Devin decided to help place the women and guards in strategic places.

We knew they would be coming from Brent because that was their safe passage, so we positioned ourselves at the road and forest leading to Brent from Brentwood.

Our Nitric sprayers and dart shooters were stationed around the place.

Some were to hide in the forest on trees, while others were to hide behind rocks and in ridges, away from sight but close enough to shoot.

While we organised ourselves, Timothy approached me.

He was too scared to approach Sylvester and the Lords. He was shocked that they would come. The old man had tears in his eyes.

"You came," he said, and I nodded.

"Yes, Timothy. They took Brent. We can't let them take Brentwood," I said, and he bared his neck to Sylvester and the Lords.

"Thank you, your majesty, for deeming my pack worthy. I was apprehensive. They came very arrogant and proud. They gave me a very unsettling feeling, but I had no heir and did not stand a chance. I didn't think anyone would save me. A part of me wanted to agree and just hand Mirabel to Inkabod, but my wolf insisted I reach out to Alpha Leo one last time." He said and wiped away his tears.

The man was indeed tired. I could see why he was actively hunting for a suitor for Mirable. If she were an Alpha, he would have handed the pack over to her. It was unfortunate.

"They look like your Luna," Timothy said, and I already knew that part.

"I don't want to offend you, but they are creepy, and they have this confidence that does not sit well with me." He said, and while he spoke, Clay and Andrew approached. Timothy tensed the moment he saw them. I knew it was because of their features.

"Relax, Timothy, they are on our side. That is Clay, Amelia's brother, and That is Andrew, their cousin. Alexei is also Amelia's brother," I said, and his eyes widened.

"That was why you pardoned him." He said, thinking I let Alexei off the hook because he was Amelia's brother.

"That matter is still in the council," I told him, and he frowned.

"But Max won't be getting his pack back," He said, and I shook my head.

"I do not want you to jump to conclusions, but Alexei only took over Hill Valley to slow people like Inkabod down. I doubt he would hold on to it for long." I told the old man, and he nodded.

"It is none of my business; I just want to retire," he said, losing interest, and everyone laughed.

"It will be best you leave now," I said, and he nodded.

"Mirabel will be fighting with you. She insisted on remaining and fighting," He said, and I wanted to refuse the help because everyone had a role to play. I did not know where to fit her.

"She is very well trained, Leo. It is only fair that she fights for her people and her land. As things are, if I don't get a suitor soon, she might have to take over and search for one on her own. I doubt Max is interested, and she seemed to like him more than she liked you. We cannot force the matters of the heart." He said, and I had nothing to say about it.

"Timothy, you must leave now," Sylvester ordered, and the Alpha bowed and walked away.

I could not wait to catch Inkabod.

I knew the fight was going to be eventful.

My parents had come with us to get a piece of the action. It didn't sit well with me, but I could not stop them.

When it was six in the evening, my father and mother approached us, where we sat under a tent we had erected.

The omegas had packed some damned spring rolls for us, and we just had to manage them because we could not fight on an empty stomach.

"Father," I said, and my father bowed to Sylvester and the Lords before speaking to me.

"We are heading back to Mountain." He said, and I was happy. I did not let it show. I just frowned with a question in my eyes.

“Why?” Sylevster asked.

"I know you have strong warriors there in Mountain, but it is best Martha and I are there to coordinate. Lady Avery is pregnant, and the other two women aren't experienced in warfare. It would be wise if we avoid a sneak attack." My father said, and even though Mountain was fully secured, I nodded quickly and told them it was okay.

I wanted them out of there. Other than Inkabod, I did not plan on taking any prisoners. I planned on unleashing terror on the Stepanov clan. Hopefully, our plan works and turns the table in our favour.

The moment my parents left, Sylvester laughed.
