Fate's Dark Side Chapter 798

Alexei told the Stepanov warriors to be ready to join him anytime, and we began to position our men too.

Seeing the number of Stepanovs in the area, I knew the battle would not be easy, but I wasn't fazed.

Not a civilian was in place. The only people that were civilians in the area were our men. The rest were Stepanovs, and they were much. By five in the evening, our men were being chased away by the Stepanov security details, who thought they were civilians to keep the area accessible. It was evident that Yuri was on the way.

We kept Andrew by a window to check everyone entering the theatre building so we would know when Yuri arrived. We needed to attack when Yuri arrived.

I was grateful to our mates for the darts because that was our best bet for weakening Yuri's surveillance from afar.

My men were armed and ready from their various locations to shoot the darts when the time came.

We noticed that these were pure Stepanovs, so they would be harder to deal with than the people we dealt with in Brentwood.

I could understand why my ancestor would cheat when he had to fight Adrik, these people weren't a joke, and our alpha abilities would be useless with the Agk32 in our system.

I was grateful that Leo was with us.

He was our ace and our only means of coordinating ourselves.

It was clear the battle would be challenging because, seeing the calibre of people hanging around the place, I knew getting directly to Yuri would be nearly impossible. We would have to kill our way through.

While I thought of it all, my heart was beating fast.

I stared at the clock and watched as the hour drew nearer and nearer. And once it was seven in the evening, Andrew told us that Yuri had arrived and he wasn't wearing any disguise.

My stomach churned in those minutes, and we all administered AgK32. We planned to give them an hour before advancing.

The moment it was time, I decided to call all my friends and brothers to speak to them.

They all looked confident and ready for battle. I was grateful to the goddess for them. They had made my life easy.

"I want to start by appreciating all of you for your loyalty," I said and looked at Devin.

"The Corrigans never committed a crime against anyone, yet you were hit the most. I am sorry for this, Devin. I appreciate that you remained loyal regardless and did not team up with my enemy. I will never forget this, and I hope our friendship will remain after this," I said and then looked at Leo.

"Our story is a weird one. But regardless, we both navigated with grace and found happiness in the process. You aren't only a friend but also my blood. I appreciate you, Leo, for all you have done and still are doing," I said, thinking my words made him uncomfortable. He didn't like the attention, so I moved on and looked at everyone.

"All of you could have walked away and chosen the easy way out, but here we are, fighting to preserve the kingdom and our bloodline. Fighting to preserve peace and fighting for the future. The fact that we are doing this as one gives me hope and the strength I need to push on as your King," I said and sighed.

"I do not want any of us to lose our lives tonight. If you find yourself in a bad situation and there is an opportunity to run away, please do. Your lives are more important to me than the kingdom and the crown. I will gladly give it up so we can live," I said and looked at Dominic.

"You are the most stubborn of us. You might not be an Alpha breed, but you have proven your strength and worth time and time again. There is nothing more to prove, big brother. Do whatever you must to survive tonight," I said and looked at everyone individually.

"I do not want a funeral after this. I want celebrations, weddings, and childbirths. I want us to grow old together and tell our children and grandchildren stories of our adventures together. Please put in all you got but preserve your lives," I pleaded, and Dominic ruffled my hair as he used to when I was little.

"You can't get rid of me that easy, little brother," he said, and we all laughed.

I prayed that our laugh would be permanent and death would not take it away from us.

Our goal was to eliminate Yuri and everyone in his cabinet. In his case, we won't be taking prisoners.

We communicated with everyone to administer the serums.

We waited for the meeting in the Theather to start so we could move in on them.

I knew the battle would be long with the number of people in attendance, but I held on to my will to survive and prayed that Fate would be on our side this time.
