Fate's Dark Side Chapter 286

I get that she had misgivings with the Volkovs, if any; I get that she believes she is fighting a cause, but why get her son involved? No matter what anyone said about the bitch, I knew she was involved. She was way too lenient about Liam moving to the west and went out of her way to fulfil an odd request. She did not act as a mother should.

I would have believed otherwise if Christian did not say she was his mother.

There was just no excuse. So her son did not have friends. Neither did I have friends when I was growing up. It was no excuse, and I wanted to get the truth out of her.

"So you think it is the mother ?" Avery asked, and I nodded.

"The signs are there. Even if she did not do it directly, she had facilitated it," I said, and Avery cursed.

"I will be a mother soon; I will never do that to my baby. If I want to be evil, I will leave my child out of it, even if I believe I am fighting for a just cause. I still won't get my baby involved in a treasonous act," she said, and Linda shrugged.

"It wouldn't really matter, Ave. I believe this Amy bitch knew it, so she made the most of the situation. If Amy is involved in treason against the royals and the nobles, her entire family will go down for it. She will be executed, and they will be exiled. It is all or nothing. That is the law. Every family should be disciplined and put in check. Everyone is responsible for everyone. That was why they tried to frame Dominic.

If Dominic had gone down for that shit, Sylvester would have had to step down to be investigated. It was all targeted at Sylvester, and I am glad Dominic could see it eventually.

I am curious about what Larry's role is in all this," she said, reminding us of the man who was once a problem but somehow had faded into the dark. He was in the council, but he barely spoke or acted. Could he be pulling some strings in the background to get back at everyone for the humiliation he suffered?

"Larry.." Avery said, realising we never really thought of the guy.

"We need to look into Larry," Linda said, and I nodded.

"Noted. Who we need to focus on now is Amy. I am sure she has a lot to tell us. I also learned she is a Delta like us, so there should be no hard feelings when we apply force," I said, and Avery shook her head.

"I doubt I can do anything physical," she said, and I nodded.

"I will have an enforcer there to help us out. It would have been nice to do it alone, seeing how she failed to protect her son, but an enforcer will be great too." I said, and we discussed other things.

Linda and Avery soon said goodnight after an hour.

Seeing that Sylvester was yet to return to the room, I was glad because it meant Liam was forthcoming. He wouldn't have stayed this long if the boy was tight-lipped.

I decided to check on Stephanie.

While I walked towards her room, I told the head of staff that we would all be eating breakfast together in the bigger dining room.

I stood at Stephanie's door and took a deep breath before I knocked on it

"Come in, Tamia," She said, knowing it was me. Of course, she would; she was an Alpha breed.

I opened the door and walked in. What I saw scared me.

Stephanie was a mess; she had a bottle of northern cocktail on the table and a glass of it in hand. I rushed and took the green stuff from her. Remembering my experience with the thing, I did not want anything to happen to Stephanie.

"What is all this?" I asked, a bit annoyed. Why was she acting like a child? I was threatened that day, but I had my shit together; what was her problem?
