The Dark Side of Fate

118 Off To The Warehouse

~Leo~

The news of Ighor's arrest was like music, and I could feel the relief in the air.

We quickly went to change our outfits into something more comfortable. I could not wait to get my hands on the bastard.

To think he was under my nose all the while made me feel deceived.

Who would have thought Hayland would be home to so many Stepanovs.

"You need to be calm," Amelia said, and I looked in her direction. She had taken her clothes off completely. All she had on was her underwear. I looked at her flat tummy and realised it won't be just us in a few months. We needed to end this so we could move on and prepare for our future.

I walked to her and held her in my arms. I kissed her neck and breathed her in. I needed some calmness and peace, and she offered it.

I felt her wrap her arms around me and relax in my embrace.

"I need you to be calm," she repeated.

'I am calm. Moonlight. I am calm," I said, assuring her of my state of mind.

"Casper will be fine, and we will win this. I believe in our team," she said, repeating Devin's words in the car before they shot at us.

"I need you to be safe," I said, speaking my fears.

"We won't be around each other much in the days ahead. Our mission might take us to different places. I need you to remember I need you." I said, and she broke the hug and looked into my eyes.

"I need you to remember that too, Leo. Do not get emotional and careless,’ She said with tears in her eyes.

"I would be lying if I said I wasn't afraid, but I am. I am distraught. Do not get emotional. Casper will be fine. I need you to be sharp for us. We are the ones under fire, not Sylvester or the northern lords. You, me, Devin and Susan. We are the ones caught in the mess. I need you to remain sharp and focused," She said pleadingly, and I bent to kiss her lips. There were no words I could say to assure her that I would put her first.

"I will always put you first, Moonlight. Always,’ I said.

I held Amelia for a while, then let go and slipped into something comfortable for the trip to the warehouse.

"I wish we could come. I would have loved to take out my frustration on Ighor," Amelia said, wearing a silk bedroom robe.

I smiled at her.
