154 Taking The South

~Max~

There were two fair-haired men in front of the group of warriors we found at the clearing.

I could recognise Ilya among the men because I had seen him on the news but did not know the other. I figured he was Gaines.

‘I see Leonardo sent his lackeys. Typical of the Volkovs to send others to die in their stead,” Gaines said, and I said nothing.

The moon lit the night beautifully so I could see them without its light.

I wondered why they bothered to turn off the lights, but I guess they had their reasons. Valid or not, they must have been strong reasons.

I saw Luckman by Ilya’s side, and even though it seemed like he was with them, I knew the truth.

‘Why risk your lives for something that does not belong to you, something you won’t benefits from? If truly Corrigan cared for his people, he would lead your charge,” Ilya said, sounding bored.

I could see some southern alphas I planned to kill agree with the bastard. They had betrayed their leader and pushed him to be at the mercy of the leader of another region. They ought to be ashamed of themselves.

“Bloody traitors,” I heard Kyle say, and I knew he was referring to the southern Alphas that stood with the Stepanovs.

‘We stood by Leonardo. That was why they could not get into the East. You opened yourselves up for invasion.

Do you think you will be treated fairly in a Stepanov world?

They believe they are better than the rest of us.

What do you think will happen if they realise their dreams?

You all will be slaves.

You all aren’t safe if they can sacrifice people in their clan for their goals.

You are all stupid,” Kyle said, and one of the alphas laughed.

“Speak for yourself. You are an Alpah without a pack. How does that make you feel?” the man said, and Kyle laughed.

‘I guess you have been away from reality for a while now. I got my pack back,” Kyle said, laughing at him, and it wasn’t far from the truth.

Yuri had no presence in the East. We had unified and driven him out entirely.

“Well, the world would be ours once the Falls in Gad tonight. It is a pity you won’t be alive to share in it,” Ilya said, and I looked at Lukman, who seemed worried. It was as if he was trying to tell us something but couldn’t dare it. His countenance made me uneasy.
