The Dark Side of Fate

153 To Greenville

~Max~

It was finally time for us to head South to Greenville. I would lie if I said I wasn't nervous. If what we encountered in Greenville would be worse than what we met in Brentwood, then we had serious cause for worry.

Although we wont be travelling heavily like last time, it was still a dangerous mission.

I hadn't led a battle in a while, so I knew I would be rusty. The fact that Leo said the serum would impede our Alpha abilities and weaken our communication was scary, but we planned to make it work.

I repeatedly went through the formation and strategy with the warriors and alphas to ensure they knew what to do when we arrived at the venue.

Lukman had managed to find a way to communicate with us and told us where we would find them.

We did not want the enemy to be on alert, so attacking them when they least expected it was important. Lukman had told us that Ilya and Gaines would be our adversaries in Greenville. I wasn't surprised, knowing Yuri would be in Gad. Whoever would be standing in for Yuri in the South would fall; that much I could guarantee myself.

Casper had drilled Inkabod for information on Ilya and Gaines, and we had learned that Ilya was Yuri's, right-hand man.

He became important after Mikhail's death which meant should Yuri fall; the bastard will take over. Gaines was also a dangerous bastard, according to Inkabod, but they were the same to me.

Getting ready to head south, I thought of everything I would want for myself after this.

Leo had been uneasy about sending me because he believed I had nothing to live for, but he was wrong.

Everything I had seen and experienced in Mountain since Alexei took over my pack had been transformative, giving me a cathartic relief. Seeing Amelia and Leo gave me hope. He had done it twice, and Amelia was the third time.

I was hopeful that fate would smile on me, too, and I would have the things I have always wanted; a family.

I wasn’t keen on a fated, but any would do. I was motivated to live and love again, which was motivation enough to survive because I wanted to do these things in a world of peace. Leo had nothing to worry about. I had made peace with my past and was hopeful about the future.
