The Dark Side Of Fate

Chapter 315

~Leo~

“This is it, Leo,” Black said, ready to take over.

“We fight to live,” I told my wolf and began to feel the transformation.

It was different because of the Agk32, confidence came with Black, and I held on to it because I needed it.

“Shift and fight,” I linked everyone at once, and wolves began to jump out of different places. They were my wolves from the east, and they were ready for battle.

Black took over completely, and we had all shifted.

Knight stood beside me as should be and growled at Yuri’s white wolf.

The bastard’s wolf looked too much like Amelia’s with blue eyes. Instead of being a hindrance because it reminded me of Aurora, it reminded me that I must survive and get home quickly.

We waited for Yuri’s wolf to advance, but the wolf stepped back, indicating he wouldn’t lead the battle.

His wolves covered him and roared at us, daring us to pass through them to get to him. What a coward. Having others fight his battle wasn’t King or leader quality at all.

We were disadvantaged because we would be fighting from all angles. We were surrounded by Yuri’s men that were in the buildings. I hoped Alexei’s men would get there on time and join us. Hopefully, they are on our side.

Regardless, we lunged at the Stepanovs in formation and began to fight.

Our might was almost the same, and I could smell their surprise. They had thought we would be an easy kill, but it didn’t seem like it.

Three Stepanovs advanced towards me, and I commanded them to a halt.

While they were fighting my command, I finished them off. Then I pushed myself into the air and landed on the wolf advancing with my paw.

It fell to the ground and skidded on its side, scarping its furr in the dirt. There was blood, and it must have hurt. I liked it. I chased the wolf before his body halted and tore out his flesh, exposing his spine. Then broke his back.

“Is everyone alright?” I linked everyone, and they replied.

“My men are almost here,” Alexei linked me, and I was grateful.

It took about thirty minutes for Alexei’s men to arrive, and luckily, they were on our side.

The Staponovs did not see this coming, as I noticed they were beginning to fear the battle’s outcome.

We opted to tag team like we did in Brentwood. Vino and I joined forces, and we began to move.

We maintained our teams like we did in Brentwood, with the exception of

Amelia’s absence, but it didn’t change much.

We tore through flesh and broke bones. Alexei’s men did not allow the Stepanovs surrounding us to get to us while we fought through the formation, trying to get to Yuri.

While we advanced, Vino’s wolf leapt at me, and I felt a caw dig into my side.

I thought it was Vino, but it was two Stepanov wolves, and Vino was trying to protect me.

One of the wolves had caught Vino’s neck, ready to kill his wolf.

I moved and bit its leg, then pulled with all my might so he would let go of Vino’s unconscious wolf.

I tried to command the bastard, but he was stubborn. He was a pure breed.

I felt claws dig into my side deep this time around.

There was a putrid smell of poison in the blow, but I refused to let go of the wolf

I was holding; I broke through his bones with my jaw, and he let go of Vino’s wolf, who lay motionless on the floor. novelxo.com, I did not know if he had succeeded, but I knew I could not stop to check.

“Vino, are you alright,” I linked him, but no response came. I advanced with tears welling up in my eyes. I began to wonder if we would make it out alive.

I noticed more warriors were coming out of the Theater and joining the fight, making their number seem endless.

We fought like rabid wolves but was our strength and determination enough to get us home to our mates?

“Theo has fallen,” Alexei linked me, and I kept pushing.

Yuri was a bloody coward; he knew we would tire before we got to him.

I hoped to disappoint him.

Summoning all my strength, I tore through the wolves like rags and tore their flesh. I did not target any specific part. I fought like a blind man.

The loud growls I heard coming from Knight and the others meant they were doing the same. There was no point in being strategic; we could die, but we would ensure they did not live either. Failure wasn’t an option. We aimed to succeed even if it cost us our lives.

“The Stepanovs surrounding us are all down; my men are advancing,” Alexei said. I did not feel relief because it was clear people were joining the battle from inside the theatre.

We needed to move quickly and get to Yuri.

The fight lasted almost three hours, and we were worn out.

I wondered where the new supplies of warriors on the enemy’s side came from.

“Why are they not ending?” I heard Marcel; I could feel his fatigue and fear.

“Let’s press on,” Clay urged us, but some of us were down by then.

Dominic, Vino, Theodore and Andrew were down. I did not want to think of it, but

I believed they were dead because I could not feel them.

“Let’s try to fight through the Stepanovs to get to Yuri,” I linked everyone, and we had to decide what to do fast while we fought.

“Sylvester, you and I will pierce through the crowd while the others will fight off threats and hindrances. Once we get inside the Theater, we find Yuri and

Eliminate him. Once Yuri is dead, the troops will stop coming,” I said, hoping that would happen, not that someone else would take over until we were all down.

“Okay, Leo, Let’s do this,” Sylvester linked back with sorrow. He was afraid he had lost people. Too. We would only know once the battle was over. Whatever it is, the earlier the battle ends, the likelier we can

save our people.

Seeing the force, we were fighting, we knew we would be hopeless. We needed more help, but we doubted it would come. I could feel all our resolve. I pleaded with Amelia and my unborn child to forgive me for not being able to keep my promise and go home, but I knew this would be it.

We were about to barrel through when weird-looking werewolves came from nowhere to join the battle.

I thought they were part of Yuri’s set, but to my surprise, they weren’t. They were fighting on our side.

Soon I figured they were Gad pack members, both warriors and none warriors. The people of Gad had come to our aid.

Knight growled with gratitude, and they responded while they tore through the Stepanovs.

Apparently, Agk32 wouldn’t be necessary since the stepanovs did not come with silver dust.

Their overconfidence was going to cost them.

The new additions to the battle had alphas in their midst that had full access to their command because they did not have Agk32 in their system.

“I guess the goddess answered our prayers,” Alexei finally linked me, and I turned to look at his wolf.

He was limping, and one eye was closed. I did not know he was severely injured until that moment.

“You should stand down,” I linked him, and he howled.

“That bastard hunted my parents and killed them. He is the reason for this war; I want to be a part of his demise,” He linked me back, and I knew I could not deprive him of his revenge.

Rex, Devin’s wolf, came towards me covered in blood. It wasn’t his blood, and I knew he had killed many Stepanovs.

“Are you going after that bastard?” He linked me, and I told him we were.

“Then I am coming,” he linked back, his wolf growling. He was angry.

“That bastard stole my home. Made me a laughing stock. I must pay him back for what he did in Pridewood,” He linked the three of us weakly.

The serum had affected him too. I knew there was no need to talk Devin out of I could see the rage in his eyes.

“I want to bundle him and take him back to the north, where I can do terrible things to him,” Sylvester said and being the King, we had to obey his wish.

A clear path was created into the theatre. While we moved through, I watched as Gad’s pack members and Alexei’s men massacred the enemies.

I hoped the pack members would not kill Alexei’s men because they looked like

Yuri’s men. So far, they were not killing each other, so I think they had found a way.

We entered the theatre, and it was empty. I wondered where Yuri had gone.

“The bastard is a bloody coward. He has run away,” Devin linked me.

“We can’t let him get away, Leo,” Sylvester linked me weakly, and we did not know how to get him.

Fortunately for us, he had dropped his trench coat on the floor. We could quickly get his scent from the trench coat and sniff him out.

“Someone bring me Yuri’s trench coat now,” I ordered through the mind link, and we waited.

“I doubt he is still in this place,” Alexei linked me, and Sylvester and Devin agreed.

“If he ran, he must have gone through the back or slipped away. The crowd,” Sylvester linked us.

We waited, and a black wolf brought the trench coat.

We did not know who it was, but we thanked him with a howl and began sniffing the coat to get Yuri’s scent. His scent was strong on it even though it was covered in dirt.

Once satisfied, we began to sniff around the premise until Knight caught the scent, and we followed his lead.

He led us to the open emergency exit.

We went out the exit, into the park.

We followed his scent on the premise and into the woods.

I wondered where Yuri was running to.

We began to follow the scent in the woods, moving fast.

Alexei was limping, so he lagged behind, but I knew he would catch up eventually.

Soon, Knight ran through the woods, and Rex and Black followed.

I could smell Yuri, and his scent was getting stronger.

Had he run immediately after the battle began, or did he run sometime in between? I could not tell, but we pushed ahead.

Knight came to an abrupt stop and moved stealthily.

We followed his lead, and we moved and hid behind the bushes.

There was a helicopter there, and Yuri was wearing shorts.

The Helicopter had no pilot, so I figured he was waiting for his pilot. We studied the place to ensure he was alone.

It was apparent Yuri wasn’t a good fighter because he would have sensed us if he were.

Knight slowly moved out of the bushes to face him, and Rex and Black did the same.

Yuri was stunned to see us.

He must have thought we were dead.

“You had fallen,” He said to Knight.

It was clear he believed his words. It also meant he was misinformed, and some of his men had turned on him.

Knight slowly advanced toward him, and Yuri stepped back. He did not bother to shift, and I wondered why he wasn’t trying to fight.

Knight, Black and Rex circled Yuri waiting for a surprise from his men, but it never came, which confirmed he was alone.

He wasn’t expecting to be alone, but he was. His men had abandoned him.

Not needing any more proof, Rex lunged at his left leg and crushed the bone.

He yelled in pain, and it was music to my ears.

I felt the need to finish him, but I controlled my anger.

I would have loved to kill him, but the King wanted him alive.

“Do not kill him, Devin,” I told Devin so he could control his wolf.

He had a lot of anger in him; I could feel it.

Devin obeyed and let go of his leg.

Alexei hadn’t caught up with us yet, so I was glad we could manage the situation because I knew Alexei was equally angry.

“What did you do that for?” Sylvester linked both Devin and me.

“So he won’t run,” Devin linked us back, and he howled.

I went to the Helicopter and shifted to my human form to look through the contents.

There were no weapons there, and since Yuri was immune to silver, there was no point looking for silver binds. Sylvester while I searched through the item and heard Yuri cry with pain.

“There is nothing here,” I linked inked Sylvester

Structure

I tried to look at what had happened and saw that Sylvester had crushed his other leg; so much for questioning

Devin’s initial actions.

Alexei arrived then and realised there would be no fight.

He seemed sad that we did not leave some action for him, but Sylvester assured him he would have his pound of flesh when we returned to the north.

We decided we would drag Yuri back to the battlefield.

When we drew closer, Alexei linked us that the battle had stopped. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

I wasn’t relieved because of friends and family that had fallen.

We returned to where the battle was fought and saw many Stepanovs had surrendered.

I do not know what had happened, but seeing how the Gad warriors were with Alexei’s men, I figured the ten Stepanov families had come through and made allies on our behalf; maybe that was why Peter was trying to convince Alexei to attack Yuri in Gad.

Ambulances were present, and they were loading people on them.

We shifted back to our human form, and I linked anyone to tell me what had happened to Vino, Dominic, Theodore and Andrew. Clay was the one that responded.

“They have been transferred to the hospital. The medic said they would make it. Apparently, they were clawed with the same thing they used on Jake, but the Agk32 helped them except for Andrew, but he will make it,” Clay said, and I was glad. I figured they had clawed me with the same shit, but my wound was already healing, so I knew I would be fine.

One of the Gad alphas approached Sylvester and bowed his head to show respect.

“My name is Alpha Jacob. I am at your service, your majesty,” The man said, and Sylvester composed himself? I could see the relief of hearing our people were alright.

We were all relieved that none of us had died.

Although we still had Max, Kyle and our mates to worry about, we had achieved what we came for. We had caught Yuri Stepanov.

“Thank you, Alpha Jacob, for coming to our aid,” Sylvester finally said, and the Alpha nodded.

“Delta Peter reached out to us two days ago to join up, and we chose to do so, Your Majesty. So when Delta Ashbrid called us to help with the battle at the theatre, we moved quickly because we were on standby.

The West had suffered too much at the hands of these people. Initially, we blamed the Volkovs, but now we know the truth.

We are glad to serve you and our new lord,” He said and bowed again.

Then he ordered his men to bring us shorts while we organised transport for Yuri

We weren’t going to let him out of our sight.

We planned to ride with him until we got to the north.

I did not know the type of might they would take to attack the estate, but I trusted that our mates would push back viciously.

Seeing what we met, Yuri had put his best foot forward in Gad, and some of his men weren’t loyal to him.

We tried to call the people at the estate but could not get through to anyone.

We did not need anyone to inform us what was going on.

It was evident the estate was under attack.

Though we seemed confident, our hearts were in our mouths. We hoped our women would succeed just as we had.

I tried to call Max and Kyle too.

I could not get through to them. The best we could do now was just hope.

We got a big van and ushered Yuri into it.

Sylvester, Marcel, Clay, Alexei, Devin and David joined us in the van, ready to transport Yuri to the north.

Alexei called Peter so we could chatter a plane to take us to Lucland to get to the estate on time.

I doubt we will meet the fight there, but I hoped the women would succeed.

“You think this ends with me?” Yuri said, and those famous Larry words coming out of his mouth made me cringe.

“There will still be a southern king, and then your families will be massacred in the north,” He said, laughing while we were hauling him into a van.

Sylvester walked to him and pushed his mouth hard; his teeth flew out of his mouth with blood. Sylvester cupped his mouth and made Yuri focus on him.

“Unlike before, we took measures, asshole. Your troops in the north will meet their match, and there will be no king in the south. Look around you, Yuri; even your men turned against you last minute. Your time is up,” He said, and even though the bastard tried to hide it, I could see the defeat in his eyes.
