Fate's Dark Side Chapter 649

It was amazing how Sylvester relaxed around us but was stern with others.

Sylvester instructed us not to take prisoners, and we agreed. Other than Inkabod, we planned to kill them all.

I linked my people, and Sylvester linked the Northerners on our decision. Fighting to kill was more manageable than fighting to capture. I prayed we would have it easy.

"We have to work a team formation," Sylvester finally said, and I was attentive.

"Marcel, you are with Devin," He said.

"Theodore, you are with Dominic. David, you are with Andrew; Vino, you are with Clay, Max, you are with Kyle; and Amelia will be with you, Leo," he said, and I shook my head.

"Pair me up with Vino. Ordinary werewolves can't shift around Clay. It will be suicide for Vino," I said, and Clay laughed.

Clay turned his head and showed me the back of his neck. There was a scar there. It was as if something was buried under his skin. He turned back and smiled at me.

"Alexei and I took insurance policies. It is a chip Andrew stole from Erik. It stops normal werewolves from accessing their wolves when they are near us. Andrew could not use it because it affected him badly, but we paired with it effortlessly," He said, explaining how they could cheat. It was similar to the effect of my mother's bracelet. I guess theirs was the improved version.

"Cheat, just stay away from us," Max said, and everyone laughed.

Sylvester did not pair himself with anyone, so I figured he would fight alone.

Seeing how relaxed everyone was when we were about to test a theory that would mean life or death for us was amazing.

Normally we should be worried because failure isn't an option.

We folded the tents when the sun was down. While the dart users and the Nitric acid sprayers remained in the strategic positions allocated to them depending on the range and target accuracy, the rest of us occupied the homes at the border, pretending to be regular residents.

Vino was stuck with me, and I did not like it, but it was necessary.

Amelia would get to fight alongside her brother, and I would see her in her glory.

"Thank you," Vino said, and I wasn't in the mood for small talk. I just nodded.

"I hope you will one day find it in your heart to forgive me, Leo. I am honestly sorry, and I wish I could take it all back, but I can't.

My intentions were wrong, and what I did was evil.

I can never fix what I have broken, but please, I beg you to give me a chance.

You are a remarkable person, and having you as my friend would be a privilege." He said, and I coughed at his last statement.

"Let's not rush it, Vino. I accept your apology, but I will decide if you are worthy of friendship when I know you can be trusted and strong enough to stand up against evil. Because the one thing you were guilty of was knowing what was happening, and going along with it.

It speaks a lot of your character." I said, and he nodded.

There was sadness in his eyes, but I didn't want to lie to him to put his mind at ease.

"I promise you can count on me out there tonight," he said, and there was a way he said it that made my stomach churn. Maybe I shouldn't be too hard on him.

"Claudia and the triplets have already lost someone, do not put them through the pain of not having anyone. No matter what happens out there, you must live for your daughters and true mate," I said.

"As for me, we are cool. It will take me a bit longer to treat you like I treat the others, but Andrew has replaced you in my grey book," I said, and we both laughed at that.

He was genuinely happy, and it touched my heart.

All the guy needed was approval from me. I would make more effort.

We waited until it was past midnight. I gradually started feeling like they had changed their minds.

"Alpha, they are here," I heard Casper's voice and knew it was time.

Vino looked at me, and I knew someone must have linked Sylvester, and the King had Linked everyone connected to him.

"Let's do this," Vino said with a glint in his eyes.

We all wore turtle-necked long sleeves and long trousers. I wanted to minimalise the burn of silver, so when the nitric acid eats it, the residual effect on us would be minimal.

Vino and I walked out, and to my surprise, there were many of them. They were easily a hundred Stepanov clan warriors. I see why they ran experiments on people. They were creating an army of people with their genes. I wondered why they would come with so much heat to attack an old man. Then it clicked that they had an informant. This was not good because they might have come prepared.
