The Dark Side Of Fate By Karima Sa’ad Usman Chapter 277

112 Journey Back To The Estate

~Leo~

I could feel the nervousness in the car as we were heading back to the Estate. Larry had not said much, but he had given us something big to work with; it would be nice to catch Yuri and end him without it becoming a war outrightly. It would be great to spare all the lives that might be lost in the process, but it wasn’t up to us.

“I am nervous about this visit,” Vino said, breaking the awkward silence in the vehicle. We maintained our sitting arrangement the same as when we were heading to the City prison.

“Hopefully, we catch the bastard,” Devin said, enraged.

“I have a wedding to plan, and I need peace,” He added.

Of all of us, I felt sorry for him the most. Yuri had hit him hardest. He had ridiculed him and made him seem weak. He had belittled his nickname and shamed him. The painful part of everything was that Devin did not lose the South because he was weak or stupid. He lost the South because of the disloyalty of his people. I was lucky to have true alphas in the East and people that weren’t easily swayed, or else I, too, would have been without a pack.

“We will get him, Devin. And we will make him pay for what he did in the South,” I said, and Devin bowed his head.

I had said what was bothering him.

It was amazing how he functioned with all that had happened to him lately.

I commended him for being tough.

“Thank you, Leo. I know I am definitely on the winning team,” he said, looking at me with a broad grin.

He always had the time to smile, no matter how stressed out he was. I could see he believed what he said, making my heart swell.

We needed hope, and Devin’s hope was alive and kicking. His confidence and faith touched my heart, and I hoped fate would smile upon us. I prayed that we would look back at all this and laugh.

“I am glad too because I would be lying if I said I do not miss my girls,” Vino confessed and bowed his head. This whole thing had affected everyone, creating enemies for Yuri.

“What do you think the Claymans’ gain is in all this? What do they want?* Vino asked, and I shrugged.

It was hard to say.

Vino had the right to be curious.

They already had it all. Money and power. What else would they want? I guess we will never know until we arrest them.

We got on the isolated road to the Estate, meaning we would soon be home, when the window on the driver’s side shattered, and the driver’s head hit the steering wheel.
