The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 768

"She is in Tamia's studio in the Delta wing, passed out on the couch. You should take her to your room unless you want Tamia to ask Wilson to do it." I said, knowing he would not like that outcome. He shook his head immediately and moved away from me. He walked so fast that I could not help but laugh.

"What is with him? Marcel asked me, approaching me.

"He doesn't want Wilson to carry his mate to his bedroom," I said, and Marcel laughed.

"So Jake is responding to treatment?" He finally asked me on a serious note, and I nodded.

"He isn't in the clear yet, but at least they were able to formulate something that worked," I explained.

"I learned Claudia won't have friends after this," He said, and I frowned at him, wondering where he got that story from.

"Who told you that?" I asked, and he pointed at Vino.

"He said Claudia is distraught that she had to be hard on her friends for security purposes," He explained. I looked at Vino, who was having a lengthy discussion with Andrew. Those two seem to be becoming friends. I wondered if questioning Ighor helped them bond.

"True," I confirmed.

"She had to be tough because Thompson and Irene now have the formula for AgK32. She isn't only preventing them from selling out but also protecting them from being abducted. It is tough love. I hope they understand when all this is over and forgive her because they really came through for her. She is also a very tough woman. Not once did she crack under pressure," I commended, and Marcel nodded.

"Yes, she coordinates herself better than our mates. I guess medical school does that to you. I learned she was calm when she treated me in the hospital. I wouldn't have believed it if I did not see how she handled Devin professionally, even though Vino's life was also threatened. She is tough in that regard. Just the right match for Vino. He is too soft. I believe she would balance him out," Marcel said, and I agreed.

"I want to go see my mother. I will reach out after. We must attend to some last-minute things before Leo leaves for his region tomorrow." I said, and Marcel frowned.

"He is leaving tomorrow?" He asked. I could see that he wondered why Leo did not tell him.

"Amidst the chaos, it must have skipped his mind. He has to return to organise his army. His warriors and the alphas of his region are our true allies, their loyalty has been tried and tested, and they have passed with flying colours. We need what he is bringing to the table, and he cannot leave Max to do his job. He is Lord of the East now; it has to count for something." I said, and he nodded.

"Are Alexei and Clay going to the West too?" He asked, and I shook my head.

"The West is a bit unstable. Once Yuri is out of the way, we will know the traitors and the loyalists. Mind you, more than half of the western Alphas are Stepanovs in Yuri's cult. Sean helped them to secretly gain ground there. Letting Erik, Clay, and Alexei go to the West would be suicide.

If Yuri had not had so much power there, he wouldn't have acquired all that property and used it as meeting grounds. Gad has been an issue since the time of Larry. Erik will remain with us, while Alexei and Clay will return to the East with Leo. Alexei is yet to officially hand Hill Valley back to Max. He would have to add his contributions as Hill Valley's alpha regardless of his new office," I said, and Marcel told me he understood.

I left him and headed to speak to my mother. Hopefully, she was awake.

I told Claudia that they should stop giving her sedatives. I knew my mother would be mad at me for my decision, but it was necessary. As much as I cared about Jake, she was my mother, and I could not lose her. I was selfish enough to ensure she remained should anything happen to Jake.

I got to her room and knocked on the door. Katya asked me to come in, and I was glad she was kind enough to remain with my mother.
