Fate's Dark Side Chapter 307
The people began to murmur at the sight of Liam. While some were genuinely confused, others seemed angry.
"Silence!" Avery yelled at them, and they reluctantly obeyed.
"Any noise and the person would be thrown in a cell. Disrespect will not be tolerated. We have been charged with a task and intend to do it diligently without disturbance, am I clear?" Linda asked, and there was complete silence, indicating they got the message.
Just then, Kappa William walked to me and told me that Sylvester required Liam to come to the lounge. Learning that Leo and Devin were around gave me mixed feelings. I prayed they would put aside their differences and find common ground to unite and fight the organisation. I told them to take Liam with them and return him immediately.
They took him away.
We needed to move quickly because I still needed to question Amy. I wasn't planning to be nice where the bitch was concerned. After seeing what she did to her son, I knew she could not be trusted and did not deserve freedom. I planned on making her feel pain. I was going to be unapologetic about it.
"What is with Liam?" Avery linked me.
"Leo and Devin are here. I think Sylvester wants them to hear directly from him," I linked her back; her eyes opened wide, and she nodded.
"How do you manage, Tamia? The three of them are crazy about you. Would they be able to overlook their differences and work together? I know Leo has it bad and that Devin guy does not seem different. Poor Sylvester. I wonder how he feels having to lean on the two men likely to hate him the most for support," she linked me, and I sighed because she was telling the truth.
"Isn't that Zakharov's son?" Jake asked me, interrupting Avery and me, and I nodded.
"Yes," I said, and his eyes were wide.
"He is a child," he said, looking at us as if we had done something horrible.
"I know, and that is why he isn't in the council prison," I told him, sounding stern.
"His mother got him involved, and they used him to control his father and the northern alphas. He also helped them receive and transfer money," I told the man, and his eyes widened with disbelief.
"You don't mean it," He said in shock, and I nodded.
"That bitch decided to use her son in the most despicable way. The only reason he is alive is that he is young," I told Jake, and Stephanie hissed.
"That bitch Amy had been bad news. Her mother was like that, you know. Always trying to share her opinion and make you accept by force. Maurice screwed her a couple of times, and she gave up her husband for it. I wished Christain looked before leaping, but they say love is blind. His has led him to an exile situation," she said, and I was unhappy about her words, but they were true.
Because Liam and Amy were involved in the uprising, they would be regarded as traitors, and the entire Zakharov family would be exiled pending investigation. It also means Christian would have to step down from his position. The woman had wrecked him. His only saving grace is if Sylvester succeeds and is installed as the king, then Sylvester would pardon him and only punish Amy for her actions. A lot was riding on Leo and Devin agreeing to make Sylvester king and working with him to end the threat, but I doubted they would because of me.
I looked at the women and the men lined up in the garden, and I hoped for their sakes that none of them was guilty because I planned on being ruthless.
Soon Liam returned, and his chains were removed to access his wolf and pick the women's scent.
We did not make it seem like he was going to fish them out using their scent; we made it seem like he would be by looking at the eyes so that the culprits would be confident.
Wilson protected Liam as he moved through the staff, looking at them and secretly sniffing their scents.
He moved through most of them, and none of the staff was selected. It remained the women in the trophy section. He got to a dark-haired eastern beauty and stopped. Indicating she was one of them. My heart soared because I knew who she was. Then he moved and selected a western Luna that worked in the gardens.
I linked Wilson not to bring them out yet until he had sniffed everyone. It took an extra thirty minutes before he finished.
