The Dark Side of Fate

129 Call from Brighton

~Leo~

I got to my room and called Max to check on him and know how everyone was doing.

Max answered after a few rings, and I was glad to hear his voice.

"How are things over there?" I asked him.

"We are fine. The alphas here have gathered warriors upon arrival. They are waiting for word from you," he said, and I was surprised that they had sprung into action.

"So soon?" I asked, and he chuckled a bit.

"They never want to experience what happened to them again. This Yuri man is a menace and has to go, Leo," He said, and I chuckled at what he said.

I missed Max, but we had only a few days to go, and everything will be okay.

"Mirabel is alright, by the way, and she told Timothy that she and Andrew are fated. Did you know?" He asked, and I was shocked. I realised why Andrew was confident about her.

"Now I do," I said, and we laughed. I could only imagine the relief Timothy would be feeling at the moment.

"She wants to join him in the north, but her grandfather says no,’ he said, which was thoughtful of Timothy.

"You will have to lead us in the East, Leo. The alphas are waiting for you.’ He said, and I sighed.

"They might have to rally themselves and move towards the West soon. Don't tell them yet; we want to be sure," I said, and he was silent.

"I thought it would be the south. Yuri has made a lot of moves and changes in the south. I have heard rumours of a coronation in the south and a council being set up. Although after the broadcast Yesterday morning, everything has gone silent. I do not know, but I think he is in the south, and we should strike there," he said, and I could not tell him that the activities in the south were to mislead us.

"When we are sure we will move, there is no rushing," I said.

Max said nothing after that, so I knew he was content with my explanation.

"Gather the warriors and get me their number. But ensure we do not take more than a quarter from every alpha in the East. I do not want the East to be void of protection. Other than the south, I do not want Yuri to have anywhere to run to," I told him, and he agreed.

"Your father and Grey already said that. They said they should only donate a fraction of their defence force to the cause so they can have people to defend the territory," He said. I was happy my father and I were thinking along the same line.
