Fate's Dark Side Chapter 566

Emma later died of illness. My father met Amelia's mother in the east, and they had Amelia; unlike the rest of us, Amelia had the full Stepanov ability. The cult found out about her and wanted her instead of our father.

He gave his life protecting her and her mother, Gezel Westwood.

They knew Gezel, so she had to go into hiding. She gave Amelia to her maid to hide in Bestir in Gad.

The omega was supposed to care for Amelia, but she dumped her in an orphanage. I believe it was out of fear.

When I discovered my father had been killed, I promised to find a home and bring my siblings together. I did not want to take over Hill Valley, but Hill Valley was on Stepanov's cult hit list, so I overtook it because of Alia. I also knew they would Kill her cousin, Max, but they would think twice before attacking me because my genes are superior.

Clay did the same to slow down the expansion of the cult. They had taken over all the packs that shared borders with the east and south from the west. I am still trying to figure out why.

I moved to take Brentwood to secure the area. If you had allowed me to do so, they wouldn't have taken Brent," He said, and I was stunned; I had several questions to ask him.

What cult? What people? Which family members? I had to take my time and organise my questions.

"Tell me about this cult," I asked, and he sighed.

"They originally consisted strictly of our relatives, the Stepanovs that fled during the massacre.

They swore vengeance on the Volkov and planned to take the government by force.

They were the sponsors of the uprising against Maurice, led by one of their members. The same member later led another revolt against Sylvester.

I am sure you know whom I am talking about. My cousin, who is part of the cult but not in support of what they are doing, keeps me informed of their activities.

He told me that Larry McMillan had come to the cult to seek revenge over what our relatives in the north did to his mate. They realised his revenge would help them achieve their goal faster than their original plan, so they supported him under the strict instruction that it won't lead to them.

They helped him fund and organise everything.

Now that Larry is useless and awaiting his death, they have decided to handle the matter directly and revert to their old plan.

I do not know their full plans, and neither does my cousin because they have an inner circle. He isn't part of the circle, but I know that Larry complicated matters when he forced the Volkovs to seek kingship.

It made their indirect approach weak and forced them to make decisions to interfere directly.

I would have been dormant, but we learned they had been tracking our sister.

Our cousin has been protecting her all this while, but he said they might soon catch up to him, so Clay and I had to move quickly to own packs and warriors to keep her safe.

Unfortunately, she became yours, so we had to watch her from afar.

They know she is in Mountain, and I am sure they are trying to get in. They do not need her. They have a man called Erik Kozlov, who is the head of the cult.

They plan on taking over and installing him as King, Alpha Leo.

They also plan on stealing Amelia to mate with him so they can concentrate the Stepanov genes in his heir.

It is scary, but the blood is distant enough not to be considered incest. Anyway, that is what is happening in a nutshell," he said, and I was speechless.

I could not ask my other questions.

I just stared at him because he had just fitted some puzzle pieces. I opted to take a minute, and the look in his eyes showed that he knew I was in shock. I could not believe he had been Amelia's brother all along. Why didn't I connect the dots?
