Fate's Dark Side Chapter 682

"Three? I thought it was just Avery and Amelia?" I asked, and David nodded.

"Katya is preganant too. She had been hiding it for a while because of the stress, but your mother figured it out then Claudia confirmed it." Marcel said, and I smiled and looked at Dominic, who seemed over the moon about the news.

I went to congratulate him, and instead of a handshake, I hugged him. We were both going to be fathers for the first time. It was thrilling.

The food was plated, and the women were surprised about the meals. Avery and Amelia were the first to dig in. I figured Amelia would be hungry because she had emptied her stomach in the morning.

The Sullivans and my parents joined, and it was a very happy breakfast. Clay, Andrew, Max, and Kyle seemed most happy about the food. I guess they were tired of sandwiches too.

Tamia and Linda were suspicious about the food, but it seemed everyone was tired of eating food cooked by amateurs that they ignored the oddities and just enjoyed the spread.

I just hoped they wouldn't say anything. We were already three days into the bet and had four more to go. It would be a breeze at this pace as long as Macy does not tell Amelia the truth.

We discussed our meeting with Erik and his odd behaviour. My father and Grey Sullivan laughed all through. It was what they had expected, and Erik had acted accordingly.

I noticed Theodore had left out the talk of Yuri and Amelia. I knew he wanted me to discuss it on my own time. I was grateful but knew it was time to tell her, especially now that I knew who the man in the picture was, so I brought it up.

Amelia was shocked that she had given Yuri food. I showed her my phone so she would see the image.

"I honestly thought he was a displaced man from the West. He had a lot of great advice. Telling me to hang in there, that I was lucky to find a home after being displaced. He seemed harmless," she said and sighed.

"I also knew it was strange that he kept asking me questions about the pack and Leo's plans. He said he was considering joining Mountain but wasn't sure if it were the right place for him or if Leo would allow him to join." She said and bowed her head at the table.

"Had I known what was happening back then, I would have figured it out—the bastard. I fed him for over a month," she said, and Linda consoled her.

"You should be grateful he didn't grab you and run," she said, and we all laughed, making light of the situation, but there was no doubt it was a close one.

"So, Erik wants me to fulfil all his requests before he springs into action," Sylvester said, and I nodded.

"He isn't asking for half," Theodore said, looking at the bright side, and Sylvester nodded.

"He would get us the Stepanov army we need, this magic concoction that could help us gain some of their abilities temporarily and also help us find Yuri?" Sylvester said, and Theodore nodded.

"Okay, but then it means we must return to the North. All of us, including the head of the council, set things in motion.

The Claymans and Sean will be arrested at the same time. We would be reinstating the Stepanov line and granting Alexei and Clay Lordship. Amelia is a woman, so her title will go to you then, Leo. But your lordship will have no office; only a title by name. Your children with Amelia would be the ones to have an office, like Alexei and Clay," he explained to me, and I honestly did not care. I had too many responsibilities already; having a lordship with an office would break me.

"How do we carry these things out simultaneously?" Devin asked an important question because it all had to happen simultaneously to avoid surprises, and Tamia smiled.
