Shadows of Destiny

~Leo~ The arrest went smoothly.

It would have been easy if it weren’t for the informant that might have tipped them off.

I had an idea of how it might have happened, but we needed to question the suspects to conclude.

Ramsey was despicable.

He kept yelling he would not speak until he was brought before the council.

If only the arsehole knew what we had in mind for him.

With the present hierarchy, he was right.

The lord would have to take him to the council to question him before passing judgement, but Sylvester would be king soon and then have the power to do as he wills with the prisoners.

It was a lot of power to bestow on one person, but I trusted Tamia’s judgement of character and decided I would support the cause.

We parked at the estate and walked in.

Devin was excited; I am sure he had not had so much excitement in a while.

For someone that likes to fight a lot, this was thrilling for him.

As for me, I felt nothing.

My life would still be fucked up after this.

One thing was sure, no matter what Tamia said, I would let Amanda go.

If the children were mine, I would find a way to be in their lives.

Thinking of all the damage she caused broke my heart completely.

Although we couldn’t link her to anything, and the song the suspects were singing made her seem innocent, I still did not want her.

There was just something off about her behaviour that did not sit well with me.

The only reason I wasn’t going to push was because of her condition.

If we could not prove that she was actively and deliberately working with these people, then she was a free woman.

One thing I was certain about is she would never be the head Luna of the East or my mate.

I was willing to move on from Tamia, but I wasn’t willing to move on with Amanda.

We arrived in the early hours of the morning, tired from the arrest and headed to our room.

I did not know what would happen the next day, but I knew it would be fast-paced henceforth.

We also had to wait for the council to summon Sylvester for an impromptu meeting so we could move and install him as king.

Christain was with us, so we were complete.

Everyone that had a say in making Sylvester king was with us; the only pushback we might have was from Vino Lawrence, who might see it as a slight, but as far as I was concerned, the guy should be happy that he remains on the council.

His family aren’t truly northern.

They originated from the west, and his aunt had a big hand in this mutiny.

He should be happy if we leave him on the council.

It was a shame that Gezel and Carla were involved.

If not, I would have pleaded with Sylvester not to abolish the law that holds every family member accountable for the crimes of a member.

It would have been nice to have the bastard resign because of Jenny and Neil’s conduct.

I knew it would also affect the Babanins, but the Lawrences, through Jenny, had stylishly taken over that seat so far.

It was all a colossal mess.

I went straight to my room, and sleep came quickly.

I woke up late.

It was expected since we arrived at the estate in the morning, and we were tired when we arrived.

I looked out the window and saw the sun was up in the sky, which meant it was afternoon.
