The Dark Side Of Fate

{Book 2} Chapter 22 – ~Leo~

Devin announced Kyle and Linda’s case, and I saw Theodore tense. Linda stood up and moved towards the stairs to stand in the hall’s centre.

Kyle moved towards the centre quickly, and people were murmuring.

I did not know why Kyle wanted trouble. All he had to do was give Linda back her land and the money her parents left her, which were in his control, but the man was stubborn.

“Councilman Leonardo Albert, you will oversee this hearing and pronounce judgment. Be warned that I will not allow sentiments concerning judgment,” Sylvester ordered from his throne. I stood up to pay my respect to the king and queen. Then I greeted the Lords and everyone in attendance.

I picked up the paper before me to read the case.

“Alpha Kyle Nikson of Brent pack, once married to Lady Linda Orlov, has refused to return his ex-wife’s belongings to her, stating they were joint possessions due to their marriage and he did not initiate a divorce of his free will; thus, he has the rights to keep what they jointly owned during their marriage, and if there is need for a division, the wealth, both fixed and liquid assets, should be divided evenly between the two as he has helped increase the wealth in question.

The alpha claims that his pack members own properties on the land and thus cannot relinquish his hold because it was with the understanding and agreement of his ex-wife.

He also claims he has grown the wealth by investment, and the liquid asset has tripled in value.

Although Lady Orlov claims she wants both fixed and Liquid assets back, Alpha Kyle has refused, which has led to the second hearing today. ” I said and then sat down.

The noise in the hall had increased, so I had to bang the gavel to silence the crowd. I hated my job, but Devin and I had to place ourselves high to ensure what happened with Larry did not repeat itself.

“I am giving Lady Linda the floor to state her arguments,” I said, and everywhere was silent.

“Thank you, councilman Albert,” Linda said, sounding formal.

As head Alpha of the east, I know what it means for people to be displaced and a pack to be rendered defenceless. However, I know what Lady Orlov went through while married to Alpha Kyle, so I won’t fault her for her decision. Here is

In comparison, he keeps the seventy per cent he invested to keep the finances of his pack afloat.
