The Dark Side Of Fate

143 We Still Have Time

~Amelia~

I thought when we got to Mountain, Leo and I would have time, but we had spent two days already, and the only time we had was nighttime. He spent the day ensuring the warriors trained and sharing their formation with them. It was hectic. My brothers helped, too. Within two days, my sister-in- law, Alia, came to join us because Alexei did not want to take any chances. She had come with her newborn twins and three Omegas to help her.

Apparently, she had given birth When in hiding. They did not communicate with Alexei, so the call will not be traced.

I was enthusiastic about her visit, but the fear of the battle’s outcome weighed heavily in my mind, that I could not spend time with the lovely twins.

They both were faired-haired with weird eyes like mine. Seeing them, I figured my children would look that way too. Especially knowing Leo had some Stepanov genes.

The twins were adorable. A boy and a girl, and they named them Josephine and Eiane. Apparently, they had discussed the names of their babies before Alexei joined us to head north.

The twins looked so cute that I could not wait to hold mine in my arms. Unfortunately, Leo sent Alia and the twins to a VIP bunker where all the Eastern Lunas and their children were kept. It had better resources and was cosy. She would have joined us in the North if she did not have the twins with her, but there was no room for children at the Volkov estate. Especially knowing there was a possibility the place would be attacked.

Even though we were not going to battle in Gad, there was a possibility we would fight in the North if Yuri got the bright Idea of coming after us there. Alia was in no condition for a fight, so the bunker was her best bet. The Alberts and Sullivans were going to Join them in the bunker when Leo and the others headed to the west in two days.

I would lie if I said I wasn’t afraid but had faith in Leo and his team. I believe that the Stepanovs that volunteered to join us would not deceive us, and I think the moon would be on our side.

I had to keep a positive mind so I did not fall apart.

I must accept that everything was beyond our control and that the goddess wasn’t wicked to let Yuri win.
