The Dark Side Of Fate

Chapter 235

Partial Discussions (Book 2)

~Leo~

“Should I set the table for our guest, Alpha?” I heard Macy’s voice in my head while I held my mate.

She must have tried to reach out to Amelia, but Amelia was asleep in my arms.

I could not sleep.

Apart from being in slight pain, what Amelia said made so much sense and made me nervous at the same time. I knew I would have to discuss and strategise with the Lords and King.

“I want only trusted Omegas to serve us,” I linked Macy.

“Luna has already made sure of it. The people that cooked the food will serve it. We must also taste the food before our guest eats it,” She said, and I peeked at Amelia. She looked peaceful and fragile in my arms, but her exterior didn’t fool me.

She was a very caring woman. She also was the ruthless type. She must have cared about me so much to be gentle and patient with me. I stroked her hair gently to appreciate her, and she stirred in her sleep.

I watched her eyes gently open, and I smiled.

She was a bit confused at first, and then she came through.

“Didn’t sleep?” she asked, and I knew she would be able to tell because I did not look rested.

“Was watching you,” I said, and she giggled and sat up.

She took two minutes to compose herself, then looked at me.

“When are we eating, love?” she asked, and I smiled. I knew she would be hungry.

“Now. Macy linked me to find out if she would serve the food now. She also said you instructed them to taste the food and that the same people that cooked the meal should serve us,” I said, and she nodded proudly.

“We can’t be too careful. Right now, we are caught in a crossfire between the Volkovs and the Stepanovs; it would be silly of us to become the targets. We have to be very careful and suspect everyone. The King and Lords, along with their mates, are here. Their protection and safety are up to us. So if it means me being meticulous about everything, be it.” She said, and she had a strong point.

We got off bed to prepare for dinner, and I asked the Kappas to usher our guests to the grand dining room. I also linked Kyle and Max to join us. No matter how uncomfortable some meetings might be, we all needed each other. We were fighting an impossibility. People that were immune to silver were a considerable challenge. We could not throw silver dust at them or bury bullets in their skulls. It would have the same effect as lead, and they would heal. The only way to destroy them was through mutilation, but we would be lucky if they let us get close enough to do damage. We needed to put our heads together to find a way out of the problem.

I also needed Kyle and Max to help me lure Andrew and Clay away so I could speak to Sylvester and the others in private.
