Fate's Dark Side Chapter 723

"It also wears off in Alphas faster than others," Erik said, and Devin looked at him. We were walking very fast.

"Well, that is also the very reason why we do not have Alpha genes. The alpha genes neutralise it. When creating Stepanov armies, we looked for people that did not have alpha genes to reproduce. It was the only way to ensure the experiment's success," He said, and we arrived at the Heliport. The helicopter we would use was already waiting, so we just got in.

Erik tapped my shoulder while we got into the helicopter.

"That is why I am studying his DNA," he said, and I knew he was referring to me.

"Really?" Sylvester said, relaxing in the helicopter and strapping himself in. Everyone was doing the same.

"Yes. Leo has the gene, which is very active but seems to have triggers. It is not always active as in a normal Stepanov; it needs something to trigger it. Silver, dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, adrenaline. Once those chemicals are introduced, the genes are completely active, and then it goes dormant again. Somehow the Albert bloodline has evolved the Alpha genes helping it coexist with the silver-resistant genes. But they aren't fast or completely immune like us. But they have a higher chance of surviving silver attacks than ordinary werewolves," He said, and the helicopter lifted into the air.

"When all this is over, I want to take more samples, Leo. So I can run experiments." He said, and I shook my head immediately. I doubted there would be an end to it.

"Cherish what you have, Erika; there won't be anymore," I said, and everyone started to laugh.

Erik punched my upper arm, and it really hurt, but I couldn't stop laughing. Erik dressed as Erika remained engraved in my mind.

"So what would we do to this Ighor guy?" Clay asked after being silent for a while.

"I don't know; maybe Andrew can tell us since he was hell-bent on getting us on Yuri's team," Devin said, looking at Andrew, who was embarrassed.

"If I knew all this, I wouldn't have suggested it. I am glad neither of you listened to me. I am really ashamed right now," He said, and I noticed we had made him very uncomfortable.

The guy knew no one trusted him, it was good enough to keep him on his toes, but everyone needed to be in high spirits because we did not know the kind of mind games Ighor was capable of.

If he could fool Erik the scientist for so long, then he was very good at whatever he did.

"Have you called your grandfather-in-law?" I teased Andrew, and he frowned.

I knew he had no clue what I was talking about.

"Timothy. Did you call Timothy? I heard you have been checking on Mirabel since she was hospitalised," I said, and he bowed his head.

He behaved like someone that had been caught, and it was cute. Feelings did that to people. I did not know if it was love, but something was there.

“Andrew likes Mirabel?” Clay said and looked at his cousin.

"Is that where you have been going at night? No wonder you smell like the hospital sometimes," Clay said, and Andrew looked up with a weak smile.

"Busted; now, can we please drop it?" he said, and I laughed.

"She is fine," I told him, even though I could not tell. I knew that If anything had gone wrong, Maxwell would have told me. No news was good news.

I could see relief in his eyes, and I realised his silence was partly because he was worried for her.

"Do you plan to settle down with her? Maybe court her?" I asked him, knowing Timothy was desperately looking for a mate for her. He nodded immediately.

"Well, Timothy would be delighted. He has been looking for a suitor for her for a while now. I hope she will like you," I said, and he smiled at me.

"She will," he said confidently, catching everyone's attention. I found it off too.

"That is some confidence you got, eh?" Sylvester said, laughing at him, and I did not want to press him any more than I already had.

Our conversations let time pass effortlessly, and soon we landed in a clearing in the woods.

What were the odds that there would be a place to land? I thought we would have to jump down. I guess this place was reserved for things like this. One could never know the extent of resources Sylvester has.

"We must walk a bit before we get to the warehouse. There is no clearing to land close to the place. That is why we landed here. Running there in wolf form will be faster," Sylvester said, taking off his clothes, and I guess my observation was wrong. I stand corrected.

We removed our clothes, shifted, and held our clothes in our mouths. Sylvester, Marcel, and Theodore led us through the wood, and we followed. We were a pack of giant wolves running through the forest. It was a fun experience.
