The Dark Side Of Fate

Chapter 317

~Amelia~

I wasn’t a warrior, neither had I ever led a battle before, but here we were. There was no time to contemplate what to do. Tamia had entrusted me with a task, and I had to do it. I did not know I was nervous until my mother placed her hand over mine.

“Stay close to me, darling. I will walk you through the process,” she reassured me.

I knew Tamia had given me command because of the mind-link communication. I was the only one whose abilities were not impaired. I had to make it work.

“I am coming to you,” I heard Erik in my head, and I relaxed a little. I was glad I wouldn’t be doing this alone.

We began wearing belts that held the darts and the guns. The guns were automatic loaders, so shooting the darts would be fast and easy. I hoped we would have the time to aim and shoot because, unlike the first time, when we were on offence and positioned ourselves away from the enemy’s eyes, we were in defence now and would be in plain sight defending ourselves and our territory.

“Have the men position and shoot down as many attackers as possible. Reach out to Wilson to give you the situation report,” Tamia ordered me, and I nodded immediately.

“Orders from the Queen. All possessing darts should begin to fire and eliminate as many intruders as possible. Kappa Wilson, can you hear me?” I linked everyone because I did not know which of the connection was Kappa Wilson. But fortunately, he responded.

“Lady Albert, loud and clear,” He replied; his connection was weak, but it was better than silence.

“What is the situation report?” I asked him.

“Many people are trooping in from the main gate and fences. I have lost count, but they are plenty, over a hundred. They are on the premise from all angles.

They are fast and have taken down some of our men, but the darts are working in our favour. The only issue is we do not know how many enemies we are facing because they are still coming in. Another unfortunate aspect is they are good at dodging and taking on the shooters; we will soon need to engage physically,” he said, and there was a lot of difficulty in his communication. Still, I was able to make out the link.

I narrated all he had told me to Tamia, and the worry in her eyes showed her fear. I tried to mask mine and be hopeful, but I knew it was just as obvious asTamia’s.

“Uncle Erik is on his way here,” I added, hoping it would be good news. Tamia was in deep thought, and then she snapped out of it.

“I need you all to be focused and determined. I need you to drive away the fear and hold your ground. This is for the sake of our future and our children’s future,” Tamia said to us.

Her voice was shaky, but I could see her resolve. Her resolve boosted my confidence, and I felt hope coming through. Aurora was also gearing up for a fight. I planned to give it my all, knowing it was the same for the others. None of us will fall tonight.

Tamia’s words touched deep into my soul. I felt the fear dissipate, and a new resolve replaced it. I nodded at Tamia, feeling honoured, and all the women urged me to lead them. I had never done this before, but there was always a first. It was indeed an honour.

We headed out, and Erik joined us in his shorts, holding a dart gun and darts.

“Gezel,” He said to my mother, and she nodded.

We headed out of the Estate, and it was a massacre outside. The fight was scattered, and no people or wolves had distinct features. Yuri did not send pure breeds to fight us. I felt a tinge of relief, but I did not plan to underestimate the attackers.

I did not know who was winning, but bodies and brown wolves were on the floor, meaning both sides were dying.

“Move to the centre,” I linked everyone, and no one questioned me.

I wanted us to move to a point where I could link our men on the ground to move to our side at the centre of the land to create a clear demarcation between the enemies and us. That way, I would know what the enemy looked like. The worst that could happen is us killing our people, who weren’t much anymore. I was trying to avoid that.

Erik and my mother led in front, and we moved to the centre. The entrance gate was far but in clear view; we were midway between the building and the gate. I saw people jump over the fences into the compound. They were Stepannovs because the silver on the fence did not affect them.

“Everyone join us at the centre and fall behind us now! I want a clear demarcation,” I linked all our warriors, and people soon began to move towards us.

“Shoot at those that are trying to attack,” I linked the ladies, my mother and Uncle Erik, and we began to aim and fire.

As I had suspected, not all of them were fair-haired, but they were Stepanovs, just not the pure breeds like me.

We needed them to shift to differentiate between our men and theirs.

Seeing the number, they were well over a hundred. As much as fear tried to creep back in, I only thought about Leo and my unborn child.

Tamai was the first to run out of drats and shift. We all threw the guns away and shifted. That was when the battle began. 1

A sudden madness came over Aurora. With a need to survive, and a desire to eliminate the enemy, I tore at flesh as I pushed through the attackers.

I did not plan to go down easily. We all deserve to live. We deserve our happiness, and we will take it by force.

Tamia, Nicole and Linda moved ahead of Susan and me, leaping into the air and landing hard on the backs of grey wolves. Breaking theirs back and rendering them useless.

There was blood all over Kaira, and her eyes were raving mad.

I realised we had nothing to worry about.

My mother’s wolf, Elsa, grey and majestic, fought alongside Erik’s white wolf. His wolf was as white as mine. He moved fast, almost like a blur.

Exhibiting the speed of a true Stepanov.

Chloe, Susan’s wolf, was holding her ground, and she was faster than usual. Her fur was matted with blood that did not belong to her. I could feel her rage, and she was putting it to good use.

Everyone was fighting, and I felt a euphoria come over me. The need to eliminate the enemy. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Aurora’s speed was unmatched, our strength was unmatched, and soon I realised the wolves were avoiding fighting me. I did not allow them to dodge me. I ensured I went after them and put them down.

It had become a sport, and Aurora was grateful.

The enemy’s supply of warriors was reduced, and I knew it would not be a long battle.

“Do not let them get away. Slaughter everyone. All of them,” Aurora linked everyone, and they howled in response.

It was a blood bath, and we did most of the Killing.

During the battle, I noticed no one tried to address us on their side. So it meant they had no prominent leader. I figured Yuri did not deem us necessary enough to send any of his top people to lead the assault. They thought and believed we would be an easy kill. Unfortunately, his arrogance would cost him his vision because none of his men would go home tonight.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

All the anxiety and rage that had plagued us for months was unleashed on the battlefield. There was no point showing mercy.

Soon I began to see the men make for the gates, but we wouldn’t let them go. Kaira growled loudly, and we all got the message. There were roughly ten on the enemy’s side. Unfortunately, we weren’t planning to keep prisoners.

Yuri was very arrogant.

The warriors he sent were not true Stepanovs. They were like some of the easy kills we encountered in Brentwood. I was grateful for our luck.

We eliminated all of them, and slowly, I felt my rage dissipate.

Blankets were brought for us to cover our bodies when we shifted back. Susan was injured badly, but we knew she would be okay. My mother hugged me as soon as I returned to my human form.

She wrapped her arms around me, and words did not need to be spoken. We had expected and anticipated the attack. We were not just expecting the fight to be Easy.

We finally broke the hug when Tamia tapped me from behind. She was wrapped in a blanket with a big grin on her face.

“We did a number on them,” She said, and Linda joined in.

“Oh, how I missed the rush. They weren’t as challenging as expected,” Linda said, and we laughed because she was right.

“He must have really underestimated us,” Nicole said, laughing.

“Not really. The fight continued for almost three hours,” My mother said, and I frowned at her because it did not feel like it.

“She is right. The fight went on for almost three hours. They were skilled warriors, not just the best,” Erik said, and we laughed.

I wondered if the rush of the battle made it seem like little time. Whatever it was, I was glad it was over.

“These men were sent here to grab all of you. They were not sent here to kill,” Erik made an observation.

“Why would he want to do that?” Tamia said, and I could see the worry in Uncle Erik’s eyes.

He prepared himself to give his response, but I already understood it before he spoke.

We all did, and I covered my mouth to fight my tears.

“Yuri knows they are coming. He knew they wouldn’t be here. He knew it would just be the lunas and little warriors. He knows they are coming,” I managed in tears, explaining my observation and my mother pulled me into her arms.

“And he will surely meet his match,” she assured me.

“We have to warn them. They need to know it’s a trap?” Linda said, sounding frantic.

“We will do no such thing,” Tamai said, and I broke away from my mother and looked at her.

“We will not call them. We will stick to the plan. Whether it is a trap or not. There is little to what we can do. Did it ever occur to you that they expect us to call our mates so they can trace the call and discover their location?

The meeting is tomorrow night.

I will release the news of the attack at the Etstate to the press now. I am sure Sylvester and the others will figure it out from there,” Tamai said and hurried back towards the mansion. We followed her, and as we moved, I prayed that we wouldn’t be late. I prayed they were safe and we wouldn’t have to continue without them, i

“I am going to attend to Susan,” Erik linked me, and I was torn between following him and Tamia. I decided to follow Tamia and urged my mother to accompany him. Susan needed support even though we all knew she would be fine.
