The Dark Side of Fate

Chapter 263

~Leo~

I knew it wasn’t a good idea to eat with Erik, but I also knew it would be rude to refuse his hospitality, and since we had come for his help, we had to be on our best behaviour so we did not piss him off.

The man looked pretty weird, and his features were unexpected. His different eye colours made him look as if he were blind in one and could see with only the blue one.

Other than him looking like a mad scientist, the man did not seem dangerous at all. Nothing like Andrew had expressed. I could see why my father rebuked Andrew’s words as a rambling of an aggrieved child. It was, indeed.

I looked at Theodore and saw him contemplating the comfort too. Too bad neither of us belonged to the same pack; we could not link each other.

“Erhmm”, Erik cleared his throat, drawing our attention back to him, and I wondered what he wanted.

“I am glad we had that talk, but that brings me to my desires,” he said, and I frowned, wondering what he meant by his desires.

He took out a syringe and placed it on the table. Seeing a syringe with someone like him was scary, especially knowing he ran experiments on people. He composed himself to speak while we tried not to act spooked.

“I would first like to apologise for trying to forcefully take you from your pack. I did not ask them to extract you, but they got overzealous,” He said, and my eyes bulged. He confessed to being responsible for the attack that happened in my woods.

“They almost killed me!” I exclaimed.

“As I said, they were being overzealous, and I am grateful they didn’t,” he said casually as if it were nothing. I began to suspect the man was just as unstable as the rumours implied.

“Anyway, since you are here, I want to believe you hold no grudge and we can be friends,” He said, and it was a very odd way to apologise, so I just stared at him.

“I do not know if you have heard anything, but I am sure you know you have both Stepanov and Volkov genes,” He said, and I nodded.

“I would like to run some tests on you. I mean, on your blood samples.” He said and corrected himself immediately, knowing how the first sentence sounded.

“The Albert line is the only Bloodline with Stepanov genes that could still produce alphas and mighty ones at that.

I want to see why. I just need a blood sample. I promise I won’t harm you,” He said, rushing through his words so I do not interrupt him;
