The Dark Side Of Fate by Karima Sa'ad Usman novel Chapter 265

~Leo~

We spent the entire day preparing to leave. After breakfast, Sylvester retired to the room, and we did not see him and Tamia until lunch.

I would lie if I said I wasn't nervous about what would happen in the North.

I just wanted it to be over so we could live our lives. Knowing that I would be a father soon motivated me to do more.

We decided to gather at the lounge in the evening to relax and discuss the following events. At the same time, Amelia chose to party with the women.

On my way to the lounge, my father linked me, telling me he had something urgent to discuss with me. I had to see him before heading there.

He was in a small living room with Grey Sullivan. I wondered where my mother and Rebecca were.

"Just the two of you?" I asked, entering the living room, and he nodded.

"Amelia invited Martha and Rebecca to hang with the ladies. They deserve to be around younger women for a change," My father said, laughing, and I nodded in agreement.

One thing I was sure of was that the women would have a blast. Everyone there knew how to have a good time, even in hard times.

"Please have a seat, Leo," my father said, and I sat on a single couch to listen to what he had to say.

"Grey has something to tell you. It might not mean much, but I implore you to listen and convey it to your friends," He said, and I frowned at him and looked at Grey, who was slightly nervous.

"I know you do not trust me and my wife, and that is why we kept this from all of you this morning, but we have now confirmed it as true," he said, and I became nervous.

My heart was beating fast because the least I wanted to hear was that we were compromised.

"The South fell yesterday," He said, and I frowned at him.

"Word has not spread because Yuri wants it to be a surprise. But every Yuri group member has been asked to report to Greenville," he said and handed me his phone.

A text instructed them to report to Greenville and receive new assignments.

"Does Devin know?" I asked them, and Grey shook his head.

"Yuri is pulling all the strings at once to set things in motion, and he is doing it and ensuring word doesn't get out. A lot of people were imprisoned last night, Devin's Beta inclusive.

I do not know if Yuri would kill him, but he has yet to appear in the South. He has representatives there, and one of the representatives is one of Erik's men," he said, and I realised why he was looking worried.

"Do you think Erik was lying to us?" I asked, and he shook his head.

"Grey, just tell him everything. No need to watch your words," my father said, sounding impatient. I guess he got the bug from my mother. She was the impatient one.

"You need to secure Erik in Hayland because a friend told me the East is next, and it will happen soon..." He said, and I frowned at him.

"All you have control over are Hill Valley and Mountain; all the other alphas would fall within this week. Since they have refused to join up, a kill order has been sent to eliminate them this week. Erik might not make it past this week because of the traitors in his circle. We have told him, but he has nowhere else to go," Grey said, and I could see the concern in his eyes.

"So what do you suggest? He has a lab down there?" I asked, and my father nodded.

"Erik is a significant player in this. Yuri would never be at peace until he dies because of the AgK32 and the fact that Erick controls half of the Stepanov fighting force and could make more if he likes," My father said and cleared his throat.

"You need to call an eastern council meeting this evening and warn the alphas of the danger that is coming. You and your father need to educate them on all that is happening and teach them how to fight those things because no matter what, we have to be in the North tomorrow and set things in motion," Sylvester said, and I nodded.

It was an order and not an advice.

I got the message loud and clear.

"Alpha Richardo, tell Erik to transport himself, Nelson and two of his trusted scientist to Hill Valley now. He has to ensure he gets there safely. Alexei will bring him, and I will be taking him to the North. Even though Gordon will be arrested, he can no longer continue to stay where he is because he has been discovered," Sylvester said, and my father nodded. It was amazing how Sylvester took charge almost immediately. Indeed he was raised for this.

He looked at Clay, and Clay paid attention, waiting for his orders.

"Tell Alexei to wait for Erik to arrive and help us transport Erik to Mountain tonight. He should also secure his mate and pack members. If Yuri is going to pull the strings at once, he plans to kill everyone. Alexei should bring Timothy too. His granddaughter is recovering from silver poisoning, so they can move him here to be close to her. If Grey and Richardo are here, Mountain will still have some resistance," Sylvester pointed out, and we agreed.

"After we arrest Gordon, we will be here to help them out," Max said, and It was the best offer we could get. There was no way they could go wrong with three Alphas and a strong Beta. We also had Nitric acid in Mountain, so it would work out.

"I have made arrangements with the airline company transporting us. Amelia, Clay, Alexei and I will be the visible passengers. At the same time, the rest of you will travel in disguise as part of our crew. Some Kappas will come along to make it believable," I said, letting Sylvester know that I had made the arrangements already.

He nodded and smiled, then took out his phone to make a call.

I moved away to call for an emergency meeting on my phone. It meant the meeting would hold at night, but it was necessary because I was beginning to suspect Yuri already knew what we were planning and was trying to delay us from acting.

Once he takes the East, he would have successfully divided the kingdom without asking.

If he pulls the strings at once, it means the attacks and eradication of the ruling families in the East will happen at once. It meant he was willing to unleash an army of weirdos on every pack in the East simultaneously; it also meant they were already in the East awaiting orders. No matter what, it was paramount that we act immediately. I looked at Andrew while on the phone and saw Clay staring at him. We had to keep an eye on him to be sure he could be trusted.
