Fate's Dark Side Chapter 487

"We need to get ready, Amelia. We have a plane to catch this afternoon," I said.

I wanted to go in my private jet, but I decided we would fly commercial instead.

I did not want to waste money paying for a hangar in Lucland because I did not know how long we would spend in the north because of Amelia.

I left her room and went to shower in mine.

I spent a while in the bathroom, thinking of many things, but soon I cast my worries aside and chose to take the days as they came.

Deep down, I hoped that the people that attacked us in the woods and tried to capture me weren't a big deal.

I got dressed and took out my luggage to the living room.

To my surprise, Max and Amelia were making sandwiches and having fun doing it too. Max seemed more alive than he did the day he came to my house.

I guess he had indeed moved on, and following his claims about Alexie was him doing his due diligence and nothing more.

Max made Amelia laugh, and I saw her relax around him.

Black was a bit jealous, but I held it.

I was still going to move at my pace. I will not jump until I am sure. I joined them in the kitchen and saw what they were making.

"Sandwiches?" I asked, looking at the counter.

"Max said we should make club sandwiches," she said, and even though I wanted a sub, I had no choice but to accept what Max had suggested.

Amelia served the food, and we ate silently before Max broke the ice.

"So, have you decided where to stay when you go to the north? I know you usually stay at the Volkov estate," Max asked, and I nodded.

"I have booked a suite for us. It has two rooms. You can sleep in one, and Amelia and I will sleep in the other," I said, and he frowned at me.

"Why not go to the estate with Amelia while I stay in a room in the hotel? I am sure you two will have more fun there," He said, and I smiled at him.

"Yes, we will, except that I do not own the place, and I have to take permission before I take Amelia there," I explained.

A look in his eyes said he did not buy what I was saying, but he let it rest.

We finished breakfast, and I decided to leave Max to do the dishes alone as punishment for trying to spoil breakfast.

We finally got to the airport and boarded the plane to Lucland.

Amelia was nervous, but I held her hand. I knew she had never been in an aeroplane before; this would be her first time.

I ensured she had the window seat to look out and get the whole experience.

The flight was smooth, and we landed peacefully.

We were collecting our luggage when I got a call from Casper. I honestly did not want to answer it, but I had to. I put Max in charge of the luggage and told Amelia to stay with him while I stepped away to answer the phone.

"Alpha," Casper said, and I answered.

"We found fresh camping sites in our woods," He said, and I knew that wasn't the urgent thing he wanted to discuss with me.

"Alpha, they abandoned the place in a hurry. The disturbing part was that they had some tools and left them behind. From their scent, they were about six people. Based on the tools, I believe they were trackers. I think they were tracking someone or something. It is either that or they were scouting," He said, and beads of sweat formed on my forehead. I could not head back to Mountain now. Six trackers, tracking or scouting in my woods was worrisome.

"They have left, Alpha, but I just wanted to tell you what is happening. I have put men to guard the perimeter. I will keep you updated on our findings," Casper added, letting me know it wasn't as urgent as it may sound. I hoped so.

I was confident that my men could handle six trackers, but I wanted to know what they were doing in my woods.

"When the prisoner talks, let me know," I said to Casper, and I hung up.
