The Dark Side Of Fate

~Tamia~

I could not believe the wealth of information we had just gotten from Alpha Christian.

Who would have thought Liam Bricks was underaged and Alpha Christain’s son? The man had carried out the task given to him diligently, thinking he was saving his son’s life. Liam was a wicked child, and I was furious.

I could not say a word in the office. I was speechless.

Thinking of everything, I wondered what this uprising group wanted.

The issue came down to the four families that would head the council if the bill was passed.

Theodore and Marcel were Loyal. That leaves Vino, but Vino does not seem like the trouble kind. He did not seem pushy, and he never antagonised Sylvester. He has never done anything to work against Sylvester, nothing we know of.

I know he wants to be a friend and join their group. Today was his first show of anger and power, and he was irritated that the Alphas had wasted our time. He was relieved that the bill wasn’t passed. He might not have told me, but the smile on his face after the hearing said it all.

I was curious to find out who this person was. Was it Jacob Makailov? His family wouldn’t be considered if the bill was passed. It was a colossal mess, and we were right in the middle.

“Alpha Christian, we need your help to figure out who recruited your son,” I spoke up, and he nodded.

His eyes were bloodshot. He was angry and ashamed at the same time. Treason was a severe matter. His son had brought shame to the family, and if word got out, his family would lose respect.

Traitors are never able to redeem themselves, hence why Joan and Pamela swallowed their pride and begged; they had no choice but to do so, or they wouldn’t be cast out of their families and stripped of their names because of the lasting consequence of their actions.

“Anything to save my family’s reputation, Luna Tamia,” he said, and I nodded.

“What is his real name?” I asked, knowing Bricks wasn’t a northern last name.

“Liam Zakharov,” He said, and I nodded. He was a true northerner.

“Did he exhibit any behaviour before you sent him to study?” I asked, and he shook his head.

This man was the leader of the north, just like Leo was the leader of the East. Other than the council and my mate, he answered to no one. All alphas reported to him.
