Chapter 268 The Gathering

~Leo~

Amelia was in the room. I knew she had not retired to the room. It looked like she had come to use the bathroom and get something. She exited the bathroom, and her eyes fell on mine.

“What are you doing here?’ she asked, and I smiled at her.

“Called a meeting with the other Alphas, came to dress up before I leave,” I said, and she frowned.

“Do not tell Susan this, but the south has been taken already, and the next stop is the East. Yuri plans to take the East this week. I am trying to ensure that every Alpha has equal fighting chances. So I called for an emergency meeting tonight. Because we are leaving for the north tomorrow. I am also arresting Gordon tonight so he does not convey the meeting’s outcome to Yuri,” I said, and she sighed and walked up to me.

She searched my eyes just as she used to when we first met, and I wondered what she was looking for in them this time.

“Please be safe, Leo,” she said, took my hand, and placed it on her lower belly.

“It isn’t just you anymore,’ she said, and those words hit me hard.

“I won’t be reckless, Moonlight. I promise to keep it safe and come home,” I assured her and bent to kiss her.

I kissed her and felt calm wash through me. Along with it came courage and hope, just what I needed for the coming days.

She left the room to return to the ladies, and I headed to the closet to get dressed for the meeting.

My father, Alexei, Max, Kyle, and I headed to the town hall where our meetings were held.

I was nervous, but it was expected after all we had heard and experienced so far. We also had to watch our backs in case an attack ensued.

“Do you know the irony of all of this?’ Kyle said while in the van, and I looked at him to speak quickly.
