The Dark Side of Fate

Chapter 305

140 The East Is Ready

~Leo~

We arrived at Mountain without issues. I wasn’t fooled by the false peace, but I knew it meant Yuri was either out of the East or had no influence in the region. Maybe he was busy with other things; I was grateful.

Seeing a few people above ground, I realised how important dealing with this issue would be. There was a vast difference between the atmosphere of Lucland and Mountain.

“Where are the people?” I heard Gezel say, and Amelia sighed.

“They are in bunkers around the settlement. We did not want to risk what happened in the South, so we decided they should go under mostly the women, children, and teenagers.” Amelia explained to Gezel, and Gezel nodded, still looking out the window.

“So you are head Luna of the East?’ Gezel asked her with a smile, and Amelia nodded.

“Lady of the East,” she corrected, and we all laughed.

Gezel’s gaze was soft and longing. She had so much to tell her daughter but did not have the words. I hoped one day she would. I also planned to talk her out of joining us to fight. I needed to do my best before telling Amelia of her mother’s decision.

We arrived at the settlement in front of the massive packhouse.

My parents, Susan’s parents, Casper and Max, were waiting outside to receive us. I also noticed many people were roaming about the settlement. I did not need to guess who they were. They were most likely warriors from other eastern packs.

Kappas came to carry the AgK32 serum given to me to administer to my men when we get to the West. Since we wouldn’t use it now, I instructed Casper to guard the serum heavily.

Max shook my hand and hugged me. I returned the hug and thanked him for everything.

“Thank you for finding them, Max,” I said, and he nodded.

Kyle cleared his throat, and we all laughed because it was a sign of jealousy.

“I have already thanked you, Kyle,” I said, and he shook his head.

“Not enough. You sent me to fight those freaks,” He complained, and we laughed.

“Gezel,” I heard my father say, looking at Amelia’s mother, and I wondered who else knew this woman.

“Richardo, it is nice seeing you again,” Gezel said with a smile, and my mother went to hug her.

“Sorry about Luis,” My mother said with a comforting tone; Gezel’s voice cracked, and she returned the hug.

It was clear the woman was still hurting. I did not know if there was anything anyone could say or do to alleviate her pain. It would be constant.

“You didn’t call me not once, Amelia,” I heard my mother scold Amelia, and Susan’s mother scolded Susan too.

“Not even a text message to let us know you are fine. Is that how to treat us?” They asked, and the women were speechless.

“We had our share of problems in the North. Devin almost died, Momma,” Susan responded, and Rebecca gasped, likewise, my mother.

“What happened?” they asked, and I sighed.
