Fate's Dark Side Chapter 557
"Get it yourself, Kyle; I won't let you speak to my Luna like that," I warned him, and he looked stunned. He looked at Amelia and then at me.
"It's okay, Leo. I will get him a scotch. He needs it," Amelia said with a smile.
She had genuine concern in her eyes, and Kyle's behaviour did not get to her.
I was indeed blessed, but just because things rarely got to Amelia did not mean I would allow people to disrespect her. Anyone that messes with her would hear from me.
Amelia brought him the scotch and gently led him to sit on the couch.
Then she went to her old room and brought out a damp towel. She draped the wet towel over his shoulders, and I saw him relax.
Kyle looked at Amelia and smiled.
"Thank you, Luna," he said, and I wondered how she knew that would calm him down.
"How did you know?" I linked her.
"I travelled mostly in wolf form with my clothes in my mouth. I always looked for lakes to dip in after I shift back due to the heat Aurora generates after the long trip. Our wolves keep generating that heat after we have shifted. It is the norm. But you wouldn't know since you travel with vehicles," she said, teasing me with the last part, but we did not laugh. A smile was enough to show amusement; I nodded with approval.
"I am sorry. I did not know it was official," Kyle finally apologised, and he did it with so much sincerity that I stopped being mad.
He drank his scotch, collected the cold water, and gulped it down. I guess his system was conflicted too.
"They came in the morning. There were no warnings or threats. It was like they wanted to surprise us, and they did, Leo," he said, talking to me as if we were still friends.
"The screams of my people woke me up from sleep. It was still dark. I shifted and exited my house. The moment I stepped out, I breathed the silver and shifted back to my human form. I looked around and saw weird-looking, partially shifted wolves. Some with white eyes like Luna's eyes, while others with blue eyes. It was weird, Leo. I had never seen anything like it before. There was no fighting them, so I shouted that people should leave and run away. They let some people escape while they murdered others," he cried.
"They killed the helpless pack members, Leo; they had no mercy. The less privileged that I settled on Linda's lands were the first to get hit. When they were done, they told us to leave Brent and that they would kill anyone they found on the land onwards. They did not stay in Brent, they left, but most of the people were dead already," he said and looked at me.
"They killed and displaced people, then left the land bare. There is no one there." He said, and I wondered why anyone would clear a pack and not occupy the place.
"This is very strange," Max said, and Kyle nodded.
"At least Alexie stated why he took over Hill Valley and is currently there as the alpha. He also did not pump silver into the air. These people's modus operandi is different, Leo," Max deduced, and I already figured that out.
"It is similar to the people that attacked us in the forest in the north," Amelia said, and I nodded.
I wondered if this was another sect different from Alexie or if Alexie might just be whom he says he is and not have anything to do with these people, but I could not shake off Alexie's silver effect on Max.
"I guess I must speak with Alexie to understand the situation. Or eliminate him as a suspect in the least because he tried to take over Brentwood, and Brent is close to Brentwood and Hill Valley," I said, and Kyle looked at me with expectation in his eyes.
"Is that all you will do?" he asked, and I nodded.
