~Sylvester~
After telling my friends and brother what I was planning on doing, I was relaxed, knowing that I had
their full support. All I needed to do now was wait for Leo and Devin to arrive so we could get them on
board and spring to action.
” I hope you know there will be no going back once we do this,” Marcel said, telling me the implications
of my plan, and I nodded. I was done being nice.
“It also means after we arrest everyone mentioned, we will support you and install you as King,”
Theodore said, and I nodded.
“You will need Devin and Leo’s support for it. I know Albert might not disagree, but Corrigan is
something else. You took his fated,” Theodore said, and I knew he had a point.
“There is no harm in trying. This is the only way we can quiet the noise,” I told them, and they nodded.
Dominic was just smiling.
“So the three of us get to be lords while you will be king.” He said, and I nodded.
“I like it,” My brother said, happy that it had come to this.
“Moreover, it would make it difficult for them to use the council to work against us,” Marcel said.
“So what will you do once you have been made king?” Theodore asked me, and I shrugged.
“Dare the usurper to come at me and stop lurking in the shadows,” I said, knowing that would be all that
would be left to do because I would have all the power in an autocratic system. All the stealing of seals
and trying to make people hate me will no longer count. Whoever the Kingman was would be backed
into the wall and have no choice but to be silent or come out.
Tamia had given me the nerve I needed to go dark, and that was what I would do.
We studied all the names of the people that we had that were affiliated with the group. After talking to
Devin and Leo, we would know how to mobilise and get them.
It had to be done at the same time on the same day. I planned to round them up and then wait for the
council to summon me, which I would use that day to overthrow their system and crown myself King,
reverting us to the old order.
I knew it would not be well received, but after locking many people up, no one on the council would be
able to go against me. I was ready to destroy anyone that stood in my way.
I had a goal and planned to achieve it at all costs.
My blue moon night will be romantic and peaceful; I will claim my mate, and we will rest. Our pup would
be born in a peaceful world, and we will live happily ever after. I do not care how many traitors I would
have to kill to get to that goal, but lasting peace was the ultimate goal for me.
Two hours later, I heard that Leo and Devin had arrived. I also heard that Leo had come with a prisoner
and was requesting that the person be locked up in a cell, and I wondered who it might be.
I went to join them in the guest lounge at Marcel’s wing.
The moment I entered, I was shocked at what I saw. Leo and Devin stood to pay their respects.
We exchanged handshakes, and I asked Theodore to supervise the kappas that would bring Liam to
where we were.
There was nothing better than hearing directly from the source.
Amanda sat on the couch quietly with a silver bracelet on her wrist.
“What is she doing here?” I asked Leo, and the rage in his eyes said it all. I could not blame him for it.
The woman had allowed herself to be used in the worst way possible.
I get Leo is her fated, but there were better ways to love him than manipulate her way through and
wreck his home.
I looked at Devin, and he seemed uncomfortable. He was also looking at the place. I was glad he could
see that I had nothing but the best to offer my Tamia. It was immature to think that way, but I liked
gloating sometimes.
“Please lock her in a cell,” Leo asked me, and I frowned.
“She is your mate, Leo,” I said, and he shook his head.
“If she cared about me, she would not lie to me and spy on me for her father’s sake,” He said, and
tears were streaming down her cheeks.
The woman had given up, and seeing how she looked, she did not seem like someone that wanted to
live anymore. She seemed like she had given up completely. I did not know what her deal with her
father was, but she did not seem like someone that had it in her to push back.
“I will put her in a room heavily guarded. She is carrying your pups, Leo. I know you are angry, but we
have to think before we act,” I said, and I heard a low growl.
It was his wolf that wanted her punished. The wolf must have felt betrayed by her.
“Tell him all you told me, and make sure you give all the names of the Alphas your father has been
having meetings with,” He ordered her, and she flinched at his harshness.
Amanda fell on her knees with difficulty because she was heavy and bore her neck. I immediately
asked her to sit on the couch.
Leo got up and began to pace about the room. I could feel his rage, and I knew he had snapped.
Amanda told me the most disturbing things and mentioned a lot of names. After she finished her
confessions, all I could see was an unwilling informant.
She seemed truly afraid of her father and wanted to be free of him. If only she believed Leo would help
her break free, she should have come clean to him instead of allowing her father to use her to cause so
much damage. It was sad.
I ordered the Kappas to lock her in a room in my wing and ensure she was comfortable. I wanted her to
give birth before she went for trial.
Amanda’s confessions made Devin attentive, and it also seemed it would be easy to get him on board.
Theodore finally came with Liam, saying Tamia required him in an hour. She wanted to use him to sniff
out the two women threatening him while he was locked up.
Once we caught them, Liam would no longer need to be in the cell, but we won’t let him go outside the
estate either.
Liam narrated everything he told us, and Devin became worried.
“What did I do to these people?” Devin asked. Both he and Leo had established the bastards were just
power-hungry.
After Liam had finished telling it all, I asked them to take him to Tamia, then faced my guest.
“I know this is unusual, and trust me, it was hard to make this call,” I began, and everyone was silent.
“This king guy and his minions are dangerous for all of us, and they are so good that even if we
investigate them, we won’t catch them,” I said. Then looked at them.
“I know this might sound crazy, and you might want to kick against it, but I have a plan that would
suppress them or force them out, and I need support from the two of you to help me champion this
plan,” I said, and they were attentive.
“I do not want to go by the book anymore. I do not want to be diplomatic anymore and do not want to
follow the rules of engagement anymore. These people know the law and use it in their favour. They
want to cripple the system by scrapping my office. After they do this, they would scrap the council and
install their King. We can’t allow them to succeed,” I said, and Devin frowned.
“So what do you propose?” Leo asked me.
“I say we arrest all the people they have mentioned and declare them guilty until proven innocent. It will
also be done in all regions simultaneously, so they don’t go underground or escape,” I said, and Leo
nodded.
“That is a great idea, but the council would query it. We might say it was a decree by you, but you are
not a king, Lord Volkov; you still have to listen to counsel; what do we do then?” Leo said, coming to
the reason I had called them.
“This is where I need your support. Knowing that these people want to install a king, I decided I would
revert to the old ways when we had three lords and a king,” I said, and Devin stood up and shook his
head.
“I can’t agree to that. Your father did a lot of damage as lord. I do not want to imagine the level of
damage that you will cause as King.” He said and disagreed immediately. I expected he would behave
that way.
“If it weren’t necessary, I wouldn’t do it, Alpha Devin. But I have no choice. My joining is in three weeks,
and I need peace; our mates are expecting, and Tamia received cards from these people. Please,
Devin. I am desperate,” I said, and he shook his head.
“Where would that leave us? Getting rid of a threat to install a powerful threat is stupid.” Devin said,
looking out for his people.
“I will not be like my father, Devin. If there is anything I have tried to prove for the years I was in charge,
is that I am nothing like him,” I said, and Devin shook his head.
“Yet you attacked the south. You sent your brother to attack me for defending my region and asking for
my price. As if that wasn’t enough, you attacked the south again, claiming we helped the east to attack
Gad. You attacked the east and took their wives, sisters, and daughters from them. You did all this as
lord. I do not want to imagine what you will do as King,” Devin said and putting it that way, I did sound
horrible, but that was one-sided.
“When you killed my father, I did not come after you. I knew he deserved it. My brother’s attack on the
south was of his volition,” I told Devin, and Dominic shamefully admitted that I was honest.
It was shameful for Dominic because Devin defeated him and sent him back with his tail between his
legs.
“When I attacked the south because of Gad, I had to because that was what our investigation led us to
believe, Devin. They led us to believe you were in on it. As for the women we took from the east, Tamia
had asked them to go home, and they refused. No one is touching them or doing anything with them. I
haven’t kept a harem in a long time. I am nothing like my father. The harem I had did not consist of
conquests. Five women willingly gave themselves to me, hoping I would one day settle down with one
of them, but that never happened. When I knew I wouldn’t marry any of them, I let them go. Do not
judge me by the rumours you have heard, Alpha Devin. Left to me, I will walk away from this. As of this
morning, I had told my mate we should leave. I wanted to walk away, but she was the one that insisted
I go this route for the sake of our people’s safety. Whoever this person is, they will be harder to follow
than me,” I said, trying to reason with Devin, and I saw his eyes soften.
Deep down, he knew I was right, and the solution I had proffered was the best. If we kept Investigating,
we would not yield anything because the people in question were smart and elusive.
“What will happen to our regions when you become king?” he asked, and I sighed.
“You will still lead your regions, and I will give you seats on the council,” I said, and Devin’s eyes
widened.
One of the King’s most significant powers that the lordship did not possess was creating council seats.
Having a seat on the council would bump their status to nobles and give them a say in some issues. It
was a dream come true for any leader.
“All we have to do is the support that we return to the old ways, and you will be the king?” He asked,
and I nodded.
“I will also need Military support in case the usurpers surface and try to take over by force,” I added
quickly, and he laughed.
“You have my support,” he said, extending his hand for a shake. I was worried that it was a bit easy,
and I felt awkward shaking Devin’s hands. Because of my uneasiness, I decided I would have him
investigated.
“Just so you know, I am agreeing to this because the south has been penetrated too. That was why I
wasn’t around most of the games. Three packs were attacked in the south, and I know there was no
way the attack would be possible if they did not have someone helping them. They made it seem like it
was from you, but with what happened to Jake, I was wiser,” he confessed, and I relaxed.
If that was the case, then he was in the same predicament as Leo and teaming up with me was his only
chance of survival.
“We do not have names in your region yet, but once we round up everyone we have, we will likely get
helpful information that might lead to the culprits in the south,” Leo said.
“What if they refuse to talk?” Devin asked, and Leo chuckled.
“That is easy; Tamia and I always had this game we played when we were trying to take over the east.
We would play a game with the prisoners. We would give them room to buy their lives with information.
Anyone that gives us useful information that checks out will be spared. Anyone that doesn’t or dares to
lie to us will lose their life. It worked like magic on the warriors. These people aren’t warriors, so the
effect would be stronger,” he said with ease, and I realised that Alpha Leo wasn’t as nice as people
thought. He was just passive, but I noticed he was done being passive.
