The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 812

Casper stood outside with a smile. Along with him was my Beta, Christopher, and Kyle's beta, Allen. They were all ready for battle. Kyle Joined us outside, and we entered the van, ready to head to the South.

None of us was nervous. All I could feel from them was hope, resolve, and the need to survive. We will need all the positive energy necessary to succeed.

"What will you do after this?" Kyle asked me, and I smiled at him.

"Take back my pack, meet someone, settle down, and start a new life," I said all in a nutshell, and he smiled.

"I plan to do the same. Unlike me, Leo did not wallow in his regret and try to hurt the people around him. He is happy now. I plan to follow in his footsteps, and this time, I plan to be fateful regardless of the situation. If I settle with a chosen and a second chance mate shows up, I will reject her in a heartbeat. Never again will I hurt my mate. I really wronged Linda, and even though I am yet to forgive myself for it, I hope to fix my blunder one day," he said and sighed, knowing how he was feeling; I let him have some silence.

The three of us had messed up big time. Leo was remorseful immediately, but it took us losing everything to realise our blunder. I was grateful.

I looked at all the Betas present and could see confidence radiate from them. It was time to talk to them as a leader should. I knew they were confident, but they needed the boost.

"This is not the time to die," I said, and Christopher smiled at me. He always had a smile for everything.

There were times I imagined he would die smiling, but I hoped it would happen when he was old and it was his time to go, not on the battlefield.

"This is not the time to fail. No matter what happens in Greenville, hold on to life. Hold on to the hope of a better future, the hope of growing old, and the hope of freedom.

Dying and failing isn't an option. We will watch each other's backs and liberate the South from the thieves that have tried to steal it.

Devin, Leo, and the King will fight in Gad, and we know they will be victorious because they have everything to live for; let us do our best to mirror the victory in the South.

Let us show our worth and be part of the liberation," I said. Casper nodded with resolve; Allen agreed, and Christopher, as always, smiled.

"I do not plan to die in the South," Kyle said, and we all laughed because he said it as a fact.

The drive wasn't long. We had to go through the back road of Brighton to avoid detection since most of the southern Alphas were compromised. I knew it was a risk, and there was a possibility they might detect us, but that was the safest route we could take.

We arrived in the forest of Greenville close to evening time.

It was an hour from the settlement. Lukman had given us the coordinates, but he had also suspected that they knew we would be coming, so we braced ourselves to meet them ready.

We descended the vehicles, and I linked everyone to administer the Agk32, then formed groups with a leader each. If the serum weakens communication, communication should be less strenuous among small groups.

After the shots, we moved with our darts and loaders. Leo had warned that the contents of the darts were lethal, so we were careful not to let them touch us.

Our Betas led different groups, and Kyle and I led different groups but moved in the same direction. The goal was to surround the pack house where Luckman had informed us they were sitting.

As we approached the area of interest, I realised there wasn't much sound coming from the settlement, which was odd, but we pressed on.

"Something is wrong with this," I heard Kyle's faint voice in my head. I could also sense the difficulty he had linking me. I tried to link him to respond too. It took a while, but I got through.

"'They know we are coming, so let us brace ourselves," I managed to reply, and I moved. We came out of the woods into the clearing, and all the lights went out.

There was an army of people waiting for us in the clearing. They had situated where they knew we would likely emerge from, the forest leading to Brighton.
