The Dark Side Of Fate by Karima Sa'ad Usman novel Chapter 130

~Sylvester~

We stayed a while in the council hall while I bumped Leo, Devin and Christian up to noble status; my reasons were clear. I will only work with people I trust.

Dominic would be made lord under the Balyeav family. Unfortunately, he would have to bear the Balyaev last name. Our father had wiped out the family, and Dominic would have to resurrect the bloodline.

"I feel this thing was planned," Larry said after I had made my declarations, trying to incite people, and I laughed and stood up. His opinion didn't matter anymore, and he knew it, so his head remained bowed.

"I may be King, but I want to work with people passionate about our world. Alpha Albert, Corrigan, and Zakharov have shown their zeal to make this succeed.

I may be King, but I need trustworthy people to succeed. While their families will now have representation on the council, I will officially make Sean Kingston head Alpha of the west, restoring a seat that my father made vacant due to mutiny.

My main goal is to restore peace, and I know I have made this decision because of this purpose." I said and ended the conversation.

Unlike the past when the council will argue and debate the matter. All they could do now was advise. I was given total control.

Now it was time to fish the bastard out.

I could not wait to question Ramsey. I would start with him and then move on to the others. As for the Makhailovs, Peakmans and Wayats, I had something special for them.

We left the place and returned home. Tamia was very tired, so I accompanied her to the room so she could rest. My mother wanted all the juicy details of how the event went, and Avery offered to tell her, leaving me free to do my work.

I freshened up and decided to visit the council prison to question Ramsey. There was no way I would sleep without interrogating him.

Leo and Devin had pleaded with me to participate in the questioning, and I obliged them.

It was the least I could do, seeing they were the ones that championed the cause at the council.

Dominic and Christain proceeded to question Lenny Mikhailov so we could find Jacob.

Theo and Marcel proceeded to handle Peakman; Wayat would have to wait his turn.

I walked into Ramsey's cell with Leo and Devin. News had gone around that I was now a king. Even the enforcers at the prison greeted me. I should delegate this to someone else because of my status, but I wanted to do it myself.

Leo was related to Ramsey even though Amanda had left and was now far away, starting over. I could understand why Leo would want to participate in Ramsey's interrogation. The man had ruined his home because of greed, and Leo needed answers and revenge.

Devin excused us to check on something and told us to go ahead.

I let him go.

I knew we had to move quickly. I needed all the information I could get, and I needed to catch the so-called King.

Being his right-wing man, I knew Ramsey would lead me to him. So far, everyone had spoken Ramsey's name; it had to account for something.

I drew a chair and sat in front of him while Leo decided to stand.

Ramsey had a silver bracelet on, so his hands weren't tied, but he was useless because he could not shift or access his wolf abilities. Questioning him would be easy.

I looked at him, and he smiled at me. I knew he was trying to keep a brave facade. He knew he was busted, and his life was forfeit. It seems he would rather die a brave man than a coward.

His smile meant he was smiling at death.

I represented death to him, and his mind was right.

There was no way I would let him live.

Letting him survive to tell the story another day would be stupid.

"Your game is up, Ramsey," I said, and he nodded.

"I agree," he said, not putting too much of a fight, and I knew something was off.

"Who is the king?" I asked him, wanting to get straight to the point.
