The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 519

I looked at Amelia and softened my expression with a smile.

"You might have just cracked a case for me, Amelia," I said, believing Alexie might be like Amelia.

It was off that their back story was similar.

Was he dyeing his hair too? But his eyes did not look like Amelia's. Was he wearing contacts? I will find that out in due time.

"Come on, Moonlight. Let's go to the king's lounge." I told her, and she nodded and stood up.

She was nervous. I could feel it from her trembling hands, but I had no choice. I would be wrong to return to the lounge without her. Besides, I trusted everyone there, and I knew Sylvester was a man of his word and would never do anything that would harm the woman I cared about.

"Do not worry, Amelia; they are all on our side. If anything, I believe you will gain family today. A very powerful one," I said to try and help her relax, but she looked at me with a sad expression.

"I already have family, Leo. I have you," she said, and her words cut me deep. Just like Tamia too.

I was Tamia's only family, and I let her down.

I squeezed Amelia's hands and placed her palm on my chest, promising myself not to repeat my mistakes.

Thinking of it now, I could understand why she held on to our bond and stuck around.

I was meant to be the light at the end of her tunnel. Her home and I had acted irrationally.

I knew I could still claim her without a blue moon because she held on to our bond, but I would make it special and surprise her with it.

"Other than my missing parents, you are my family too," I responded, and the smile she had warmed my heart. Amelia was a joy and easy to be with. Where was she all this while?

We arrived at the lounge, and the men were talking and analysing different things and scenarios. The moment I entered with Amelia, everywhere went quiet. David walked towards Amelia.

"Amelia Westwood, it is an honour that you are joining us," He said, and I knew it was in a bid to calm her down and make the atmosphere less tense for her.

David was the most sensitive of all his brothers, except for Vino, who was creepy and mysterious, but he seemed sensitive too.

Dominic nodded and smiled at her, and everyone took turns greeting her. They did so with respect, and I was also grateful for the gesture because it helped Amelia relax and loosen up.

"Amelia," Sylvester finally said, and she bowed her head.

"Not here. Just like Tamia told you, those formalities are for public gatherings. Leonardo is a friend and more like family. We just want to determine whether he will soon be our in-law," Sylvester said, and everyone laughed, making it light.

Amelia was blushing immediately, and soon she started giggling too.

Sylvester motioned her to sit on the couch across from his, and she looked at me. I nodded, and she went ahead to do as he had requested.

"You see, Amelia, we have long lost relatives that have superpowers of which everyone was envious," he said, and they all chuckled because he wasn't lying. The Stepanov ability was incredible and limitless.

"Well, Leo bragged that you might have those abilities too, so we want to know so that we can protect you better," He said on a light note.

I was glad he did not tell her her life was in danger if she was a Stepanov.

Silvester placed the coin on the coffee table between them using a tissue.

"I want you to pick up this coin with your hands, Amelia. It was built for a Delta, who is a Stepanov. Other than the DNA test you took, this will prove if you have the same abilities as that branch of our lineage," he said, referring to Marcel and Theodore because they were a branch of the Volkov family too, and she nodded, then took a deep breath. She looked at me, and I smiled, urging her to proceed.

Amelia reached for the coin with shaking hands and easily picked it up. It did not burn her at all. Everyone was silent, and they tried to act normal.

"Can you access your wolf?" Sylvester asked her with a broad grin. I knew he was worried, but she needed to be comfortable.

Amelia nodded with a smile which meant she trusted everyone in the room.

"Show me. Shift partially," Sylvester asked, looking slightly serious, and she nodded.

Slowly I saw her claws grow out, and her eyes turned a brilliant shade of blue. Dominic stepped back. I knew he did not mean to, but it was a wonder unheard of and unseen.

Everyone was in shock.

"Shift back to your normal form," Sylvester said, trying to gather himself, and she did as he had asked and placed the coin on the table.

"Thank you, Amelia; your secret is safe with us. Once the DNA result is out, we will know what to do and how best to protect you," he said, and I could see beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

It wasn't just him; Marcel and Theodore too. It was a shocking revelation to everyone, and the room was quiet.

Not wanting Amelia to figure out the discomfort, I gently offered to walk her back to my room. I will have to discuss this with Sylvester later so we would know the way forward.
