Fate's Dark Side Chapter 759
"Ladies, let us leave. We have work to do," Tamia said, and I was grateful that she was taking charge.
She walked towards me, and I noticed she had been crying. Her tears were still falling.
"Please make sure they help him. No one deserves this. He did nothing. His only crime was loving your mother. Please, Darling," She said, and I pulled her into my arms.
Words could not soothe the pain both of us were feeling.
Her words cut deep because she was right. Jake's only crime was that he loved my mother.
I held her and looked at the man on the bed. Rage and determination rose in me, knowing Yuri planned to do this to everyone around me. Everyone I love and care about. I dared not leave him room to do it.
"I won't let him win," I told my wife. And she held on to me tightly.
"Please don't let him," She said.
I held her for a few seconds before she broke the hug.
She wiped away her tears and looked at the others.
"We will remain on course. We won't allow this to destabilise us. Katya and Avery, you two will stay with Stephanie. Do not bring her here or tell her of his condition.
Linda, Susan, and Nicole, we have darts to produce. We need lots of it, and nine days is a short period to be laid back," She said, and they all moved like machines.
They were sad but had to do the needful.
They were strong, setting aside their emotions and fear and carrying on. Like our mates, we had to carry on too and not allow this to disrupt us. Seeing Jake, I doubted he would make it, but I planned to hold on until the very end.
Once they left, I looked around.
Leo, Kyle, Devin, David, Erik, Theodore, Marcel, Clay, and Alexei were all there and attentive.
Nelson and the attendance were there too. I looked at Nelson and wondered whose side he was on, knowing Yuri was his father, but then I snapped out of the thought, realising he, too, was a victim of the psycho. He had been helpful since he joined us; there was no need to single him out simply because he was Yuri's son. Erik and Clay trusted him, so I will give him a chance.
"What is the situation?" I asked, and Erik cleared his throat.
"I have examined his blood, and it is indeed the by-product of Agk32. It is the enhanced version and does exactly what Melvin said it would do. The AgK32 has slowed down the effect but not eradicated it. Had Jake had Agk32 in his system before the poison was introduced, it would have been harmless, but unfortunately, he did not.
So instead of preventing the situation, his antibodies are dealing with the effects, and the effects are endless," He said, and it did not sound promising.
"So what are you saying?" I asked, and he sighed.
"I will have to improve on Agk32 for this specific case. To keep him stable, we will continue administering the serum to his body every twelve hours. We are trying to save his wolf genes too. The fact that he is an alpha means we have to work faster. It also means I will not have time to improve on the formula as per your demand," He said, and I could understand his plight.
Erik had to stop his research on improving the formula so we could access our alpha abilities after the Agk32 has been administered to our system. He has to stop this research so he can work on the improved formula to save Jake's life.
It meant we would have no choice but to use the current formula for the fight, and we will not have access to our command.
The command was something crucial. It was what would have given us a better chance.
