The Dark Side Of Fate

~Tamia~

The instant Sylvester and the others left, I requested the ladies follow me to Erik’s lab to take the shots of Agk32.

I instructed Kappa Wilson to ensure the warriors in the Estate were administered AgK32. They weren’t much, roughly eighty warriors, but I wanted to ensure they were well-equipped in case of an attack.

Unlike our men, who were going to a venue and knew when the battle would begin, we just had to be cautious because we did not know if we would be attacked. We really did not know what to expect, but it was essential to be ready.

We had yet to determine when Yuri would strike or if he would strike at all. The worst thing that could happen is that they catch us unaware. I couldn’t allow that to happen.

Erik seemed unhappy that Sylvester did not take him along, but he was coping. I found Gezel with him at the lab, and they seemed to be discussing the past.

It is amazing to see how everyone had somehow relaxed. I guessed we had all worried so much that we decided to stop abruptly, knowing nothing was within our control.

Jake was sleeping, and Stephanie was still there. I went to her while Amelia went to her mother. The other women stood around waiting for orders. Even though I was Queen, I had decided that should a battle ensue, Amelia would lead because she was a true Stepanov and immune to silver. Unlike the rest of us, that would have to depend on the Agk32 serum, which would impede some of our abilities and eventually result in a rash, she would be at full capacity throughout.

Stepanie looked at me with a smile, and I touched her shoulder. The hope was restored in her eyes, but they also had a tinge of fear. Fear for her sons. I massaged her shoulder lightly with one hand and smiled at her.

“We will all be fine, Stephanie. I need you to be hopeful,” I said, and she nodded with misty eyes. Seeing her, I knew her tears would fall if she spoke at that moment, so I accepted the nod as her response and spared her the trouble of speaking.

“I will need you and Jake to be transported to the underground bunker of the Estate. Will you be okay with that?” I asked, and she was confused.

’I need to know you are safe. You and Jake can’t do much in his current condition. In case of an attack, I need to know that you are safe, and I would not need to worry about you. I plan to send the women in the Harem to Lucland to get them out of the way. It would have been great to send you with them, but Jake cannot handle the trip. That is why I am requesting that you hide in the bunker,” I said, and she opened her mouth to speak. It was just air at first, but then her voice came through.

“Anything you say, Tamia. I won’t argue with you,” She said, and I was glad she wouldn’t make it difficult. I thanked her and went to Erik. When I got to him, they stopped talking, and Erik was at attention.

“We are here for our shots. I am creating a makeshift medical facility in the bunker. I will send Jake, Stephanie, and the medical staff to hide. I do not want them in the way in case of an attack,” I said, and he agreed.

“That is a brilliant idea, Queen Tamia,” Gezel said, and I placed my hand on her upper arm and rubbed gently.

“It is just Tamia. That formality is for the King’s hall,” I said, and we all laughed.

“Are you sure it is wise to administer the drug now? What about the effect of the rash?” Nicole pointed out.
