The Dark Side Of Fate by Karima Sa'ad Usman novel Chapter 238

~Devin~

Kyle and Max joined me in the living room of my home. I could see they were anticipating what would happen. Neither of us was pleased about Alice's conduct.

They did not know her, but they understood the gravity of her actions.

I was glad because I knew whomever she was liaising with would lead us to something tangible. I just had to catch her and back her into a corner.

"So, how did you make an enemy of your own pack member?" Max asked me, and I wondered if it was meant as a jab or a genuine question.

"She wanted us to be a thing, and I never looked at her," I said, point blank, and they laughed.

"Wow, I could see why she would have them bury silver in Susan. I hope we get the bitch because I suspect she is behind all the attacks in the south and east, and I need my pound of flesh," Kyle said.

I did not know if that was entirely true, but I could never tell.

She did go to Brent to meet with her handler or whomever the weirdo may be.

"So what is the plan?" Max said, and I grinned evilly.

"Kyle will keep an eye on Alice. You have better stealth than us, so I would give you that task. We need to find a way to search through her things. I would have entrusted Lukman with the task, but he is pussy whipped, I suppose, and I can't trust any of the men in my pack with the task." I said, and Kyle grinned.

I knew he would love the challenge.

"I will claim Susan's body was found in the woods of Brent, and she is dead. I doubt the people that shot at us were the same people she encountered, so there will be miscommunication between both parties. I wished there was a way we could have her call her handler and then catch her just in case we do not find anything in her home. We might also make her believe one of the lords is coming so she can try to snitch, and then Kyle keeping an eye on her will catch her? I don't know. I have a lot of Ideas in my head. All I know is we need to catch her really fast, and it has to be a way that it won't be her word against Susan's," I said, and Max smiled.

"You know if she has someone from the Stepanov line she is informing, we will be toast, Han?" Max said, and I frowned at him.

"Those things are freaks, Devin. They will come here hoping to kill a Northern Lord, a 'Volkov'. The motivation will be high, and we will be done for. There won't be Clay, Alexei, Andrew or Amelia to help. I hope you know what you are doing," he said, and I did not think that through. I guess I was just pissed about what happened.

"So, what do you suggest?" I asked him, and he looked at Kyle.

"I say we grab the bitch, beat her senseless and have her singing in no time. No need to investigate. She will sing like a bird when I am through with her," Max said, and it sounded tempting. Every fibre of my being wanted to do just that, but we needed to be careful.

"I do not think that would be a good idea because of her ties with Lukman. I do not need any more disloyal people around me. I am the least patient of us, and even though the south might have been overrun already, I planned to keep my people loyal to Sylvester and me." I said, and Max frowned.

"I get it, Devin. We will do it your way, but this is how we will do it," Kyle said.

"We will ask Lukman to join us to search here stuff. A young lady like that won't be smart enough to cover her tracks. She acted too boldly to be smart.

We will find something on her phone or in her house that would tie her to the weirdos. Then we grab her.

Honestly, having her send for them to come when they think a Volkov would be here would be dangerous for all of us.

They might wipe everyone out. I would have been more comfortable with that plan if Amelia and her siblings were with us. If that was what you planned on doing, then you came to the south with the wrong team," Kyle said, and we laughed.

"Very well, I will keep her busy while the two of you join Lukamn to search her belongings," I said, knowing it would be hard for me because I detested the bitch, but it was essential to do so we could make headway. Time was running out, and I did not want to miss the Bluemoon ceremony when my wedding would take place.

We all retired to our bedrooms, and I decided to call Susan to check up on her before I went to sleep.

Her phone rang a couple of times before someone answered, and to my surprise, it was Avery.

"Hello, Devin," Avery said, and I composed myself.

"Is she all right," I asked, and Avery laughed.

"Come on, Devin, she is fine. It's just eleven PM, and Tamia and Amelia decided that we have a get-together in the lounge. Susan went to use the toilet and left her phone behind. Wait, here she comes, holds on for her," she said, and I heard women laughing.
