SHADOWS OF DESTINY - Season 2 Episode 52

Seeing the battle, I knew it would be bloody.

It was clear our opponents were resigned to death. We would grant them their wish without going down

with them. I lunged at a wolf in front of me and hit it to the ground, then bit its neck and ripped out the

flesh from his throat.

I knew he would not be able to heal with the amount of flesh I took out.

I watched him bleed out and went for the next one.

I felt a wolf ram into me, but it only succeeded in moving me off course. Digging my claws into the

ground, I was able to hold my stance and face it.

Knight growled, and we lunged at it and went for his hind leg. Locking my jaws on it, I ripped it out of

him. We were not planning on taking prisoners, and soon, they would find out.

The battle continued, and we gained momentum.

Bryce had come with a few men, but they were the best he could afford. They left destruction in their

wake and killed everything they encountered.

I saw Marcel and Theodore holding their ground and ripping the treacherous wolves apart.

I could feel their rage. We were right to be angry.

These people tried to take our peace, loved ones, and lives. They have made our lives a living hell. Our

rage was justifiable.

I searched for Leo, and his wolf was something else. Black was fast and destructive.

I could see why he rose quickly in the east. He was indeed a true alpha. Although peace-loving and

slow to anger. He was a deadly force.

I watched black take out two wolves at the same time, and they did not even see him coming. When he

said he had been training, he wasn’t lying.

I knocked a wolf in front of me, making it turn belly up, and I ripped out its throat. I killed three more

wolves and looked for Devin.

His grey wolf could not be missed. It was huge, and it was on a killing spree.

We had all unleashed the monsters in us.

We wanted peace at all costs, and we were determined to kill everything and everyone that was in the

way of the peace and stability we hoped to achieve.

The battle lasted almost two hours, but the momentum soon began to die down.

While we fought, I saw several wolves barge out of the clinic.

I could see Dominic’s wolf, Xavier, among them and another black alpha wolf like mine behind him.

I did not need to guess whose wolf that was. I could see why father wanted David to head the council.

He, too, was a true alpha.

Their furs were matted in blood, meaning they had done a lot of damage inside, and the rest of the

wolves had run away from them only to join the battle outside.

It took another forty-five minutes for us to wipe out the wolves that were attacking us.

We mutilated and killed all of them, then waited a bit to see if there would be reinforcements, but none

came out. They were all dead. We had killed them all.

The seven of us converged in the middle of the street in wolf form to congratulate ourselves on our

victory.

People began to exit the hospital, cheering at us. It was clear they were afraid for their lives.

They knew their King and lords had come to do the job themselves and were grateful for it.

We could not linger, so when our van driver brought us our shorts, we shifted back to our human form

and wore them. There were extras for David and Dominic.

David was smiling when he shifted back.

“That was really thrilling,” he said, and Devin and Dominic laughed.

“I must say, it was easier manoeuvring out here than in the hospital. A lot of damage has been done in

there, by the way, but there are no casualties,” he pointed out, and I was grateful.

“What of Mother, Katya, Nicole and the triplets?” I asked, and Dominic smiled.

“We found a closet to hide them. The attackers were not able to trace their scent.

“Vino?” I asked. Dominic nodded.

“He is safe. They actually went for him first, but luckily, David was with him when it happened. It was

around the time that I went to secure our family,” Dominic said, and I looked at David.

“Did you take the test?” I asked them, and they nodded.

“The results would be out tomorrow, but I think we should move him back to the estate. He is awake,

but the silver in his system has caused a lot of damage that is taking time to heal. Also, Annika passed

away this morning. Her system was too damaged by the silver to heal itself. They had to pull the plug,”

Dominic told me, and I felt slightly sorry for the girl.

Her cousin had deceived her and wasted her life for nothing.

The painful part was that Amanda would not mourn or feel her death.

“Let’s go back to the estate. There is so much to catch up on and do,” I said, and Dominic shook his

head.

“No, Sylvester. We need to take a break. Our weddings are in three days; I would not want to partake

of the ceremony tired,” he said, and I laughed. Just like Leo had said, it was a bit rigorous because we

would be joined in human form and then in wolf form. Both had separate ceremonies, and then we

would complete the union in the privacy of our bedroom. The reception would be the next day after the

ceremonies. It would be a hectic event, and we needed all the rest we could get.

“I agree,” I said, and I saw my mother coming out of the hospital holding a baby in her hand. Katya had

one in her hand, too, and, likewise, Nicole. David’s triplets came out and rushed to hug their father.

He squatted to their height and hugged them. The sight warmed my heart, and I knew soon that would

be me.

“I did not need to guess whose babies they were carrying. It was as if Vino had already been adopted

without the test results. At this point, it really didn’t matter. We could not end both his and Amanda’s

lives. One had to remain to care for the triplets, and because of that, I would go easy on Vino. His

crime was just as severe as the traitors because he kept the truth from me, but I was willing to forgive

him and move on.

Dominic and his team, comprising David, our mother, their mates, David’s children, Vino’s babies and

Vino, who was in a wheelchair, entered a van provided by Bryce. The Head enforcer had come with an

extra bulletproof van to transport them back.

We got into the van we came in and headed back to the estate.

On our way, the news on the radio station talked about the battle that happened in front of Lucland

general hospital.

The news did not have the true story, so they said a group of terrorists attacked the hospital holding the

people in the hospital hostage. Sir Dominic and Sir David were the heroes that kept the people inside

safe and drove the criminals out of the building. While Sir Marcel, Sir Theodore, Councilman Devin,

Councilman Leo and the King came physically to obliterate the threat that surrounded the building.

Most of the things they said in the news were exaggerated. They exaggerated the number of attackers,

and the time it took to subdue them.

We listened to several radio stations; that was all they discussed.

Some of the things they said made us laugh, especially the ones that weren’t so accurate. But they all

had the same question.

Who were these people, and why?

I knew going to the King’s hall to address the people and give them an explanation was inevitable.

We might not arraign the criminals for judgement now, but we need to explain to the people what

happened and reform the council before we proceed.

Arriving at the estate, Tamia, Avery, and Linda were outside the entrance to welcome us home. They

must have heard the news.

The smiles on their faces showed that they were satisfied with what we had done.

We did not grab our mates to hug or kiss them because we were sensitive to Leo and Devin’s feelings,

who did not have anyone to welcome them at the entrance.

Instead, we walked into the building, and everyone headed to their quarters to rest.

Entering the room. Tamia hugged and kissed me with all the passion she could manage.

“Thank you for coming home, darling. I was worried,” she confessed, almost on the verge of tears.

“Dying wasn’t an option for me,” I teased her, and she smiled.

“Any casualties?” she finally asked, and I shooked my head.

“Bryce took the best of his enforcers, and we were equally determined,” I told her, and I could see the

satisfaction in her eyes.

I could also understand her concern.

We had lost enough to the traitors.

We went to shower. Even though she was clean, she joined me. Although I was too tired to do

anything, we had fun just washing each other.

I was too tired to dress up, so I laid naked on the bed. Tamia joined me.

“So what next?” she asked me when she laid beside me.

“Max, Kyle and Casper are sending the traitors on Amanda’s list to the north. We will have to question

them about their part in all this. But for now, they will have to wait because we have to rest for our

wedding.

We would proceed with the hearing, sentencing and reshuffling of the council after our wedding,” I said,

and she smiled at me. There was really no urgency anymore; we had caught the King.

“The blue moon we had awaited for so long is finally at hand,” She said, and I smiled at her.

“Lucas is receiving treatment. It seems he has a lot to say but has been unable to speak. The doctor

said it would take a week to get him in a condition he would be able to speak.

Larry really did number on him. I cannot even speak of the things that man did to Lucas. I also cannot

say he did not deserve it if what Larry said was true, but Larry was extreme,” she said, and I looked at

her.

“Do you think it is necessary to hear him out?” I asked her, and she nodded.

“It is necessary to learn what truly happened that night. That letter still hangs over your mother’s head;

if it is brought in the open, she will stand trial. Since Larry would stand trial, he is bound to give her up.

We need to know what happened that night, coupled with Devin’s testimony, to free her, or else you will

be forced to make a partial judgement in her favor. That would be the wrong place to start as a king.

The people already love you,” she said, and I knew she was right.

“Very well. We will interrogate him after our wedding. For now, we will rest. You will get the beauty

treatment you need while we all prepare for the wedding,” I said, and she rested her head on my chest.

We were both happy and content. I could not wait to make her mine
