Fate's Dark Side Chapter 339

I noticed my mother was absent when we got to the dining room. When I learned she was having dinner with David and his family, I was glad she had decided to try to know the guy. Dominic was with us, and I suspected he had not checked on David. I did not bring it up but let it go.

We discussed the drive Amanda had given us, and I deliberately thanked Leo for letting his mate help us even though I knew he had no say in it. He warned us not to trust her, and the feeling was mutual. We just wanted peace so we could get on with our lives.

I also noticed Leo did not like that I referred to Amanda as his mate. But that was precisely what she was, whether he liked it or not. It was easy for the guy to forget his role in messing his marriage up and blame it on the woman. I was glad Tamia was out of their mess.

"My daughter has been brought to the north. She doesn't know what is happening yet. Her brother brought her. I do not know if we would be arresting her or if she should be brought to the mansion immediately," Jake Brighton said, and I knew it was a difficult thing to do.

"Tell Donald to bring her here. Make it seem like we are having a party. The rest would be taken care of." I said, and though it was eight thirty, I knew they could arrive before ten.

I was looking forward to our activities in Lucland. Questioning Iris would have to take a back seat even though I wanted to punish her for poisoning Tamia and almost killing her and my unborn child.

The rest of the dinner went quietly, and I advised Dominic to try and see David.

He protested, claiming he wanted to rest because of our activities the next day. That was when I decided to explain something to him.

"You won't be making the arrests with us," I said, and he frowned at me

"I do not have to be an Alpha breed to be useful, Sylvester. I am your big brother, and I have a stake in this too." He protested, and I shook my head.

"No one said you won't be doing anything. In fact, you will be doing much. You will help us keep up our appearance and remain at the arena for the party of the medalists. One of us has to be there. The cups will be presented before the closing ceremony the day after tomorrow, but there will be a party for the medalists after the games tomorrow. I need you there." I said, and he shook his head.

"Mother can do it," He protested, and I looked at him.

"We both know our mother isn't cut out for things like that, neither are we, but we must do it. It is part of our duty and a sign of respect and gratitude to our people. A Volkov has to be there," I said, and he bowed his head. He really wanted in on the action.

"Okay, Sylvester. I will remain at the arena, but I must be a part of the interrogation," He said, and I nodded.

"Of course, you will be. The arrests would be silent. There will be no interrogation, so it is quick. I just hope none of them would fight back," I said, and he smiled.

"As long as no one tips them off, they won't fight back. It would be too sudden for them to even consider it," Dominic said, making a valid point.

I hoped an unknown informant would not ruin our carefully planned arrest. Those people were too resourceful. The fact that they did not have an army made this more of a mental war, and they were brilliant.

Tamia and I returned to our room to sleep. I wanted Tamia to avoid following me to the arena for security purposes. I could not risk it if they planned to assassinate people with guns. It was one battle Tamia was going to lose with me. There was no way I would let her go. So I decided to occupy her with Iris's questioning.

The thought of the gun assassination baffled me. It felt odd, but I wasn't going to dismiss it.

The moment I laid down, sleep returned. Knight and I needed all the rest we could get because tomorrow would be a very long day.
