The Dark Side Of Fate

128 After Treatment

~Leo~

I was the first to wake up in the infirmary. Everyone was still asleep. Erik was there, and it seemed he had sat there all through. We really did not need his attention to be divided. We just had nine more days to go.

” You are up,” Erik said with a smile, and I nodded.

“Shouldn’t you be in your lab?” I asked him, and he smiled.

“I have set up the production of the old formula. I do not need to be there. My assistants and Nelson can handle the rest. I will return there to attempt the upgraded version,” He said, and I nodded.

“It took you an hour and thirty minutes to recover, Leo,” he said, and I frowned at him because I did not see how important that was.

“It took Devin three hours. The minimum recovery time for alphas is three hours. Your body recovered in half the minimum time required, nor was your rash as severe as the others even though you and David have concentrated Alpha genes,” He said, standing up and walking towards me.

“You are also a Stepanov, Leo. You are also a part of my clan,” He said. Honestly, I did not care about things like that.

“Your DNA has adapted the best of both bloodlines well. Albert’s bloodline is perfection,* he said, and he was creeping me out. There was a glint in his eyes that screamed mad scientist, but I kept my shit together. Somehow I was used to Erik already.

“How is my mate? Did she come here?” I asked him to change the topic, and he shook his head.

“Tamia did, though. She came to check on the King and then checked on you. I haven’t seen Amelia, and I doubt there will be any need for that, seeing that you are okay,” He said. Just then, Amelia walked into the infirmary. I wondered if our minds were in sync.

She had a broad grin on her face when she saw me. She came with clothes that looked like mine.
