The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 607
If we did not need Yuri to help destroy Erik, I would have said we should destroy him too. He only gets involved in matters that affect him directly. I do not think it is a good quality of a leader, but he is the lesser of the two evils," He said, and I knew he meant every word.
I did not trust him. He could as well be a mole since according to him, no one from the East was willing to join up with their cult, so I planned to watch him closely. There was no harm in being too careful.
Amelia excused herself and headed to the kitchen to oversee lunch. She told me she would nap after and I should join her when possible. She seemed relaxed about everything, but I knew my mate rarely panicked. It was a strong quality for a luna to have, and I was proud of her.
I wondered why our guests were yet to arrive. I knew Amelia would soon start to suspect something was up because I had instructed Macy to cook a feast, and we weren't enough to eat all she would find in the kitchen.
"Are you not expecting guests?" Andrew asked me after Amelia had left, and I nodded.
"I think it is best we go to the airport, just in case Erik's men find out about their arrival and choose to attack.
He has informants everywhere, and we do not want them to get in a fight with the Volkovs.
They will be determined, and silver might be part of their weapons.
I just think it will be best if Clay and I are there to protect them.
If nothing happens, it will be okay. If anything happens, we will be there. I do not want Erik to win," he said with determination in his eyes.
Andrew had a point, even though I did not trust him.
In the case of an attack, letting Sylvester and the lords join in the fight would be counterproductive because I knew they would be arriving incognito.
It was best to keep our enemies guessing so they do not launch an all-out attack on Mountain.
I stood up immediately and sent for a Kappa to prepare a van to take us to the airport.
Hopefully, we will get there on time.
I planned to divide them into two.
The lunas will ride in one while the men will ride with me.
In case of an attack, I will join in with Clay and Andrew so it will seem like I am the important person being transported. It would throw them off if I joined the fight and the Volkovs remained in the vans.
Luckily the vans were tinted, so they won't see who was in them. I also requested that the VIP arrival at the airport be cleared so they do not see our guests when they board the vans.
I was ready to head out when a call came in from an unknown number. Every call was important these days, so I chose to answer it before leaving. I answered immediately.
"Alpha, it is Casper," he said, and I was glad to hear from him but worried at the same time knowing why they had left in the morning.
"Did you find her? How is she? Where is Devin?" I asked, eager to know what had happened.
"She is fine, Alpha; they shot her with silver-headed arrows. We found her lying in a pool of blood on the open floor in Brent. Those people meant business when they said no trespassing. It wasn't long before we loaded her on Devin's wolf, that they started shooting at us, so we had to run back the way we came. They stopped shooting once we got into the forest. We brought her to Hill Valley because I doubted she would make it to Mountain. She had lost much blood and was unconscious," he said. I was sad she got hurt and happy they found her.
"Let me speak to Corrigan," I said, and he handed the phone to Devin.
I had a lengthy discussion with Devin, and he told me his deduction on the matter. We weren't going to know what really happened until Susan woke up and told us herself. Until then, we had to be grateful she was alive and getting the help she needed to survive. I told Devin what was happening and our decision to go to the airport. We agreed to keep each other posted and then hung up.
