The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 43

I felt my body healing from the gas, but it wasn't healing fast enough for me to fight back.

The wolves coming at me were most likely kappas, and they were the worst, because they were the deadly warriors in a pack. They were trained to die with their enemies.

Knight growled, making a weak attempt to show dominance, but the wolves approaching could not be fooled.

They knew we were weak, and they were taking advantage of it.

Some of my warriors had collapsed from poisoning. I could feel them, so I knew they would be okay.

A black kappa wolf lunged at me, and a grey delta wolf came from nowhere and knocked it out of the way.

The grey wolf growled at the attackers, and I saw two more delta wolves, one brown and the other white, jumping into the fight. When I realised who the grey wolf was, I panicked.

The fight continued, and I joined in, but the new additions were holding their own perfectly well; even in their weakened state, they were good. The white and brown wolves fought like mad wolves. They had a lot of pent-up anger, and they were unleashing it on the attackers.

The grey wolf was skilful and fast.

They did not have the strength the attackers had, but they had tactics, and it paid out.

I watched Kaira skilfully tear down her opponents, and I realised why Leo couldn't let go. She was a true Luna. A true equal for an Alpha.

The intervention made the poison possible to dissipate in our systems. We joined back in full and finished off the remaining wolves.

It was a narrow victory. Who would have guessed they would fight dirty? We took some of the injured enemy wolves for interrogation.

I shifted back to my human form.

Kaira came to nuzzle me before she shifted back to the very tired Tamia.

"Why didn't you stay back?" I asked her, and carried her bridal style into the house. We were both naked, but it did not matter.

"We couldn't leave all the fun for you guys. We were watching the fight from the balcony facing the northern gate. It takes a while to recover from the green gas, you know." She said, and I realised she had leapt from the balcony. That was why she had the force needed to knock the attacking wolf out of the way.

"Do not do that again. You scared me." I said, and she giggled.

"You should see me in full capacity," She teased, and my heart broke a bit for her.

Her marriage to Leo left her with a weak wolf and a broken heart.

I hope to do better. I hope to give more than I take from her.

I took her straight to the room and wore my shorts.

"Where are you going?" She asked me, wearing my bathrobe.

"I need to ensure they didn't take anything and everyone is alright. I promise to come back immediately," I said and kissed her. She released me, and I rushed to the west wing, where we interrogated prisoners.

I reached there and found Marcel and Theodore already attending to the prisoners.

"Who sent them?" I asked, and Marcel looked at me.

"Bane," He said, and I knew there was more to it.

"He sent them to bring Tamia to him." He finished, and I was stunned at why Bane would risk a war for her sake.

As much as I wanted to say Leo helped him, I doubted Leo was a part of this, but we needed to send a warning message to the east never to pull this stunt again.

Somehow, I will find a way to question Leonardo. I needed to know why Bane would want to risk a war for Tamia's sake.
