Fate's Dark Side Chapter 523

Vino was in the office when I entered, and he greeted me, to which I responded.

There was a look on Sylvester's face that showed that he knew I was yet to forgive his brother.

Although he was king, he couldn't force me to like the guy. I just couldn't.

I noticed he had lost weight, but it wasn't my business.

He must have taken Amanda's suicide badly. It was clear that he loved her regardless of her evil and betrayal.

I did not understand why he would willingly let her ruin my home. No matter how important a task is, I can never share the woman I love with another man just to achieve a goal.

They took advantage of the mate bond, but he could have waited for the Blue Moon to claim her.

He had no excuse where I was concerned.

I did not care how his brothers and cousins treated him. He was still a foe until he proved himself.

I might forgive him because Amelia is in my life thanks to his and Amanda's wickedness, but it was also their fault that I did not want to give her a chance. They had scarred me beyond repair.

"Leo, please have a seat," Sylvester said and sat on the chair in the office.

"Vino returned this morning. He has been working on something in the west due to your complaints about the massive inflow of displaced people to the east.

I want him to tell you what he found out while in Gad," Sylvester said, leaning back on his chair. Rocking it gently.

I looked at Vino, and he cleared his throat to speak.

"Alpha Albert, after you complained about the massive inflow of displaced people in the east and south, I decided to look into the matter because even if packs were being taken over, people were not supposed to be displaced. Anyway, we contacted Sean, and you know his response. It didn't add up, so I checked what was happening. I later discovered that all western packs that share a border with the east and south, excluding Brighton, have been taken over, over the past seven months. It was a gradual process. The only intact pack at the border now is Brighton.

Another thing is that the Alphas are new.

They have never owned a pack before and seem to have materialised from nowhere.

I asked Sean to give me details of all the alphas in his region, and they are not on the list, so I wonder where they came from.

My issue with Sean is that he refused to admit that something is off about these takeovers.

He said it isn't a crime to challenge an Alpha for his pack.

I know this, but this behaviour has not happened in decades, so I felt it was off. The attacks and takeovers seem to have a targeted region," he said and was silent.

I looked at Sylvester to understand what this had to do with me. I guess my dislike for Vino had slowed down my reasoning.

"Well, alpha challenges have occurred in the south and east, too, just like these people," Sylvester pointed out, and I sighed.

"Hillvalley and Brentwood share a border with the west.

Hillvalley is part of the takeovers Vino is talking about.

Peachwood and Woodland of the south share a border with the Greenville western pack that was taken over.

The alphas that took over Greenville and Dane at the western border were the ones that expanded their land by taking over Peachwood and Woodland in the south.

Peachwood's new Alpha and Hill Valley's new Alpha have one thing in common.

The Alphas they challenged accused them of cheating with silver.

I am sure Woodland's former Alpha would have had the same excuse if he had survived it.

Like the other two, the Alpha of Hill Valley tried to expand his land by challenging Brentwood." Sylvester said, connecting the dots, and my mouth fell open. This was a lot more serious than we thought.

"We need to investigate all the alphas that did the new takeover and maybe organise a supervised rematch to be sure they do not have silver immunity," I said, and Sylvester shook his head.
