The Dark Side of Fate

Chapter 280

115 Hearing

-Sylvester-

I could see that Leo had reached his limits during breakfast. Yuri had pushed him the most. Whereas everything happened to Devin suddenly and in the dark, away from the mess, Leo had experienced Yuri blow by blow and had to deal with the mess.

This was extreme.

The responsibility to get everyone back from captivity rested on Leo's shoulders as head alpha of the East, which was why he was overwhelmed.

Leo had the entire East to secure and loyalty to protect. He had to hide us in the East.

He fought for Brentwood. Housed and provided for the Alphas and Pack members that lost their homes to the terrorists.

He had to bring us back safely. He almost lost his life last night and was with Devin all through.

I could just imagine how he felt. All that had happened to him was enough to mentally take him off the edge.

It wasn't even his cross to bear, which made it all unfair.

Yuri did this to keep Leo occupied and leave me vulnerable. I had to commend Leo for his strength. He had been exceptional through it all.

Leo and Devin were caught in a battle they had no business with and were hit the most. I was determined to turn the tables at the hearing. I was determined to restore order.

After receiving the shots, we dressed up and boarded the large helicopter to take us to the King's hall. It was a military helicopter, so there would be no comfort, but that was the least of our problems. Eliminating the threat was all we cared about. Peace and comfort could come after.

Joan called me on my way out after I had explicitly told her not to call my phone. I refused to answer.

We boarded the helicopter, and I realised she was bugging Marcel too. I asked him to answer her and put her on speaker before the helicopter lifted.

"What is it, Joan?" Marcel asked, sounding short.

"Everyone is here; where are you?" she asked.

"Is it noon?" Marcel asked, and she was silent.

"I am beginning to suspect you have ulterior motives. You have bugged me too much today. I hope you know I am married," He said, and everyone chuckled.

"I beg your pardon," Joan said, sounding offended.
