The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 819

~Leo~

I woke up in the afternoon with a little rash on my skin. The medication Erik had sent had done wonders, and I was grateful for it.

Amelia was sleeping peacefully in bed. I knew she was exhausted so there was no point waking her up. There were still things to do.

I had to prepare and wait for Max and Kyle’s arrival with the southern prisoners. I also needed to inform Sylvester of the outcome of the battle in the South. Hopefully, they were already awake.

I wanted everything over and done with so we could all go home and rest.

There was a lot to plan for and a future to look forward to.

I entered the bathroom and stripped down. Standing in front of the mirror I tried to examine the extent of the rash. It was on my left arm and half of my back.

Although the red angry-looking things looked aggressive, they did not hurt neither did they itch. I felt a slight burn but that was it. It was much better than the first one.

I stepped into the shower and opted to use the cold water so I do not aggravate the rash and end up in the clinic, sedated.

I ran the cold water and it soothed the burning sensation of the rash. It was a good idea to shower with cold water. Once I was done, I exited the shower and got dressed for the rest of the day. It was two in the afternoon so we had lost some daylight already.

I quietly left the room and headed towards Sylvester's wing.

“Are you up?” I linked him and he answered me immediately.

“In the lounge with the others. It took you long enough,” he said and his words made me laugh.

I headed towards the lounge, and true to his words, all of them were there except for Vino, Andrew, Dominic, and Theo who should be on their way if no complications had occurred at the hospital in Gad.

I greeted everyone present and they responded heartily.

“Max and Kyle have taken the south," I blurted out with excitement, but the look on their faces indicated they already knew. I was hoping it would be big news but someone had beat me to it and stolen the reaction I desired.

“Lukman called in the early hours. He is receiving treatment for breathing silver but he will be fine. Max and Kyle led bravely,” Devin said and I nodded and sat on a sofa in the lounge.

“Well, they are on their way here with the traitors that defected,” I said and they were surprised. Finally, a piece of information they did not have. Their reaction made me chuckle.

“It is best they stand trial at the king's hall since you are here. If they hold them in the South, they might devise a means to escape. We can't afford to create a future problem for ourselves. It must be over now,” I explained, and Devin smiled.

“Devin will soon be a father,” Marcel told me and I smiled at Devin pretending to be surprised. Erik had already told us so it was known, but I congratulated him regardless.

“Congratulations, Bane,” I said and we all laughed. He seemed very happy. I guess he will finally have the family he wanted so much. It had all turned out well.

“What about the others? When will they return?” I asked.

“They are all fine. The Agk32 helped them expel the poison. They are on their way back. We are waiting for their arrival,” Sylvester explained and I was glad.

We sat and talked about the fight in Gad. We had indeed believed we won’t make it but fate was on our side and it had brought us victory.

We spent the afternoon deliberating the punishment most befitting for Yuri and his cohorts. While some preferred we hung him publicly, Sylvester, Devin and I preferred we tortured him to death. It was only befitting that he lived the rest of his miserable life in agony and pain while we chipped away at it gradually until nothing remains. With limps and sensory organs, gradually but brutally taken away from him. Every cry of pain that would escape his lips would be payment for the pain and suffering we had gone through. He had messed everything up and destabilised our world. He had done it all without true justification. He was a sick selfish man that deserved no mercy. As for the alphas of the south that chose to betray the King and sell out their leader, the most befitting way is to die in public by hanging them in their packs, in the presence of their pack members as a deterrent for future rebellion. It was only befitting that we wiped them out completely. Unlike before when imprisonment was an option, it won't be on the table. There will be no time to repent and make peace, no time to connect with loved ones, and no time to prepare, their deaths will be sudden and brutal.

We all complained about the rash and the burning sensation that accompanied it. It wasn’t itchy but it burned. Erik soon asked us to go to the infirmary so they could administer some medications to help with the burning sensation. I was getting better so there was a possibility I would not need the meds, but I could not say the same for the others, they did not have it easy.
