The Dark Side Of Fate

82 The Alberts

~Leo~

I did not know how to feel about what Casper had just told me.I was in shock, and the room was silent.

Even David, who always had a joke, noticed a problem and held his tongue.

"Is anything the matter, Leo?"

Sylvester asked me, and I knew it would be rude not to reply.

"I haven't seen my parents in almost seven years.They left the moment they handed the pack over to me.They weren't even around for my wedding," I said, and my voice cracked because of the emotions that I was feeling.

"I thought they were dead until they called me a few days ago, telling me not to trust anyone and that they are on their way.Now they are here," I said, and David whistled.

"You are one lucky man," He said, and 1 could understand him because he never knew his mother, nor did he spend time with his father.

"Yeah, It would have been if they weren't mixed up in this shit," I said, and Sylvester was surprised.

"Andrew said they were a part of the cult and are recently on the run," I confessed.

"Fuck Leo, hope they didn't come with trouble. Those things are scary," Dominic said, and I stood up and shook my head.

"I guess I should go and see them. I hope they can lead us in the right direction," I said, looking at Sylvester.

"Please do not let Andrew and Clay know my parents are here. I must know what is happening and if I can trust Andrew."I said, and he nodded.

He had concern in his eyes. I could see he understood my plight, and I was grateful none of them pushed too hard for information.

"What if they are here to spy for the cult," Vino asked, and I could understand why he would ask a fucked up question like that.

His mother was a traitor, after all. I thought of many ways to answer him but decided not to. His mother was dead; there was no point rubbing it in.

"I doubt they would harm their son, Vino. Not everyone is messed up like Jennifer," Dominic said, and we were all silent.

I wanted to laugh because Dominic took the words out of my mouth, but the situation was too sensitive. I had indeed read some of the dairies the woman kept.

Marcel and Theo often used them to crack jokes, and I knew what Dominic said wasn't an insult. The woman was genuinely sick.

I honestly wondered how Maurice and her husband coped with her.

"Go ahead. We will return to the pack house, and just like we agreed to do with Devin, we will brief you on our plans when you join us. I hope your parents have something good to tell us."

Sylvester said, and I nodded.I left the office and headed for my bungalow.
