The Dark Side Of Fate

Chapter 298

133 A slight Modification

-Sylvester-

While I moved towards Erik’s lab, I linked Vino and Andrew at the same time.

“Have Ighor call Yuri in an hour and make sure he feeds him the information we give him. We want Yuri to believe everything will go as planned, and I want to know their plans. Do not make him say things that would seem pushy. Yuri is too smart for that. Let him be layback and normal. Offer the bastard freedom in exchange for his compliance,” I linked both of them.

“Are you serious, Sylvester? We cant let that bastard loose after this. We cant deal with his shit,” Vino complained.

“I am with Vino on this one. That man does not deserve to live. He is a liar and deceiver. He really had no reason to do what he did. He would have killed Devin, Leo, and Vino. Let’s not even mention the poor Kappa he took from this world. He does not deserve the gift of life,” Andrew complained.

“I said to make him the offer. I never said I planned to honour my deal. He and Yuri have no honour, so they commit atrocities in the shadows.

That is why they chose to use people and kill them.

That is why they do not care about the consequences of their actions.

I plan to pay him back with the same coin.

Make him the promise and make sure he complies.novelebook Once he is no longer useful, he will be executed. No questions asked,” I said.

“That is much better. I plan to kill him myself,” Vino said, and I knew the event of the shooting was still playing on his mind. If it weren’t for the powers that be, Vino wouldn’t be here either. I could understand his rage, and I planned to give him all the freedom to visit his vengeance on Ighor once all this was over.

We walked quickly. Erik’s lab was outside the building. There was no way I would allow him to carry out chemical experiments inside the mansion. I could not tell the hazardous level of his activities; it was best done outside.

While we headed out, I remembered my promise to Tamia about the bungalow and planned to get on it. Once my work for the day was done. There was no harm in having people fix the place while we solved the matter. I had faith that fate would be on our side this time, and we would overcome Yuri and his cult.

We arrived at the lab, and everyone was there except for Vino and Andrew, who must have gone to deal with Ighor.

They were all worried for Jake. Even our wives.

Katya, that was supposed to be with my mother, was standing beside Dominic, watching Jake on the bed. Avery did the same next to Marcel. Tamia and Nicole stood by Jake’s bedside while Claudia attended to the IV line connected to Jake. Susan sat on the couch, looking at the floor. Devin went to her. She must be tired.

Leo was standing with his back against the wall in deep thought.

Kyle stood next to him, with the dried blood stains of the battle on his body. Amelia was beside Leo.

Linda and Theodore stood while Clay and Alexei watched Jake, seeming lost because they had no relationship with the man.

Nelson and the two attendants were working on some chemicals and ignored us completely.

I wondered who was watching my mother novelebook .

“Who is with my mother?” I linked Tamia, and she looked at me.

It was as if she were in deep thought and did not notice my presence.

I could not blame her either. Jake didn’t look well.

His lips were pale, and his skin was grey. He looked like a corpse, even though he was breathing.

My mother dared not see this. She would die immediately. She would go ahead of him. We have to keep her away as long as possible.

“Ladies, let us leave. We have work to do,” Tamia said, and I was grateful that she was taking charge.

She walked towards me, and I noticed she had been crying. Her tears were still falling.

“Please make sure they help him. No one deserves this. He did nothing. His only crime was loving your mother. Please, Darling,” She said, and I pulled her into my arms.

Words could not soothe the pain both of us were feeling.

Her words cut deep because she was right. Jake’s only crime was that he loved my mother.

I held her and looked at the man on the bed. Rage and novelebook determination rose in me, knowing Yuri planned to do this to everyone around me. Everyone I love and care about. I dared not leave him room to do it.

“I won’t let him win,” I told my wife. And she held on to me tightly.

“Please don’t let him,” She said.

I held her for a few seconds before she broke the hug.

She wiped away her tears and looked at the others.

“We will remain on course. We wont allow this to destabilise us.novelebook Katya and Avery, you two will stay with Stephanie. Do not bring her here or tell her of his condition.

Linda, Susan, and Nicole, we have darts to produce. We need lots of it, and nine days is a short period to be laid back,” She said, and they all moved like machines.

They were sad but had to do the needful.

They were strong, setting aside their emotions and fear and carrying on. novelebook Like our mates, we had to carry on too and not allow this to disrupt us. Seeing Jake, I doubted he would make it, but I planned to hold on until the very end.

Once they left, I looked around.

Leo, Kyle, Devin, David, Erik, Theodore, Marcel, Clay, and Alexei were all there and attentive.

Nelson and the attendance were there too. I looked at Nelson and novelebook wondered whose side he was on, knowing Yuri was his father, but then I snapped out of the thought, realising he, too, was a victim of the psycho. He had been helpful since he joined us; there was no need to single him out simply because he was Yuri’s son. Erik and Clay trusted him, so I will give him a chance.

“What is the situation?” I asked, and Erik cleared his throat.

“I have examined his blood, and it is indeed the by-product of Agk32. It is the enhanced version and does exactly what Melvin said it would do. The AgK32 has slowed down the effect but not eradicated it. Had Jake had Agk32 in his system before the poison was introduced, it would have been harmless, but unfortunately, he did not.

So instead of preventing the situation, his antibodies are dealing with the effects, and the effects are endless,” He said, and it did not sound promising.

“So what are you saying?” I asked, and he sighed.

“I will have to improve on Agk32 for this specific case. novelebook To keep him stable, we will continue administering the serum to his body every twelve hours. We are trying to save his wolf genes too. The fact that he is an alpha means we have to work faster. It also means I will not have time to improve on the formula as per your demand,” He said, and I could understand his plight.

Erik had to stop his research on improving the formula so we could access our alpha abilities after the Agk32 has been administered to our system. He has to stop this research so he can work on the improved formula to save Jake’s life. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

It meant we would have no choice but to use the current formula for the fight, and we will not have access to our command.

The command was something crucial. It was what would have given us a better chance.

“It means we won’t have access to our Alpha command during battle?” novel.ebook Marcel said, and Erik asked the nurses to excuse us.

We were discussing private matters now, and he did not want to risk it. Nelson left the room to keep an eye on them and make sure they were not eavesdropping.

I appreciate the effort and the care, and I hope we all survive this and reap the benefit of our hard work and loyalty.

“Yes, that is what it means,” Erik finally replied to Marcel, novel.ebook and there was silence in the room.

“We will have to fight unorganised without the command, and we won’t be able to order the opponents if the opportunity presents itself,” Theodore pointed out. Showing how perilous the fight would be.

“Leo,” I said, and he looked at me.

He had been silent since I got there.

I guess seeing Jake the way he was, novel.ebook shook him. Devin too.

They were both fond of Jake.

They were so fond of Jake that they helped him with his pack and settlement development even though he wasn’t under their jurisdiction.

“I am listening,” He said, letting me know I had his attention.

Kyle seemed a bit lost, and I could not blame him. He knew nothing.

“You had access to your command when we fought in the woods yesterday, “ I said, and he nodded.

“Very well then, you will lead the battle,” novel.ebook I said, and everyone was shocked.

It was normal for them to be surprised by my choice.

As King, I was supposed to be in front. But my ego wasn’t as important as the lives we would save by having an alpha command at the battle.

If I lead the battle, we will be disorganised with no direction. We need that synergy to excel, and we need someone to command us.

‘I will chip in through the mind link if I can, but I need you to lead us. We must move like one body, or the fight will be disorganised and messy.

Saving Jake’s life is very important, so we must brace ourselves to use the original formula as is while Erik improves the formula to help Jake,” I completed and looked at everyone. They understood my reasons, and they all agreed with me.

“But you have to be in front,” Erik said, and I nodded.

“Leo is a lord now, so he will be beside me. Our opponents do not need to know who is in command,” I said, and Erik nodded.

“Very well, I will focus on helping Jake,” he said, n.ove.lx.o looking at Claudia.

She nodded.

I did not know what they were discussing, but I knew it had to do with Jake.

I hoped our sacrifice would be worth it and they will succeed in saving his life.

“I have sent for two pharmaceutical experts to join us,” Claudia told me, and I nodded.

“As long as they can be trusted, we have nothing to worry about,” I said, and she nodded.

“They will be stripped and searched, and their phones confiscated. They will not be allowed to leave until they have finished and we are satisfied they cannot harm our mission.

They are not married, so we have nothing to worry about,” Claudia said with a glint in her eyes, and I could see her survival instincts in them.

She had toughened up, and I was glad she was rising to the occasion.

I nodded with approval, and we decided to remain in n.ove.lx.o the place for a bit to watch Jake before we went for training.

While we waited, we discussed the recruitment, and Kyle gave us the number of the Eastern warriors and all the alphas joining us.

Leo must have been an excellent leader because his alphas were loyal, except for one, Gordon, who had been eliminated by his friends.
