The Dark Side Of Fate By Karima Sa’ad Usman Chapter 279

To The King’s Hall

~Leo~

We all waited patiently for Devin to recover. None of us retired to bed. I begged Amelia to go to bed, but she refused.

We were all concerned for Devin.

Three hours later, Devin finally fell asleep. The poison was visibly out of his system, and we knew he was resting. His wolf and body fought a deadly battle, and we were glad it was over. It was two in the morning, and we were all tired.

I could wait for the hearing tomorrow. I had promised Joan I would cut her down if she crossed the line with me. I couldn’t wait to do the needful. Sylvester was right. Our prisons were full, and our resources were limited. Sympathy was a thing of the past now. After seeing how far they were willing to go, it would be foolish to advocate for mercy on their behalf.

Twice they have tried to kill me.

They shot at us. It was a miracle we all did not die.

The Kappa driver they shot remained burned in my mind. What was his crime? He probably had a mate and children that would never see him again.

The thought alone brought tears to my eyes.

His only crime was being the designated driver for the journey. Our lives weren’t more important than his. We were just lucky.

“Promise you won’t be merciful,” I told Sylvester, and he nodded. He understood my anger, and we were all on the same page.

“This has to stop. We deserve peace; weeding them out and killing them is the only way,” Tamia said.

“I agree with you. It could have been anyone in that car. Yuri has gone too far,” Alexei said, and the rage in his voice showed that he supported Sylvester’s decision to eliminate anyone found guilty.

“Well, I doubt anyone would have an issue with eliminating Yuri since the real head of the Stepanov family, Alexei, has agreed with King Sylvester,” Erik said, trying to make light of the situation, but none no one laughed. Even David could not find a joke. This had hit us hard. Had Erik not been here, we would have said goodbye to Devin. We were shaken.

“I will give instructions for the Kappas to take a full sweep of the road that leads to town in the morning to ensure no surprises on our way to the city and back,” Dominic said, and we all welcomed it. It was silly that we did not think of it.

“That won’t be necessary,” Sylvester said.

“I plan on sending for Helicopters. It is time we use the helipad at the King’s Hall. They cannot shoot poisoned bullets at us in the air. They will not be prepared for it, and an antiaircraft gun isn’t a weapon anyone can transport inconspicuously,” He said.
