Fate's Dark Side Chapter 592
That was the closest the cult had gotten to victory since its inception, so Larry became a valuable member.
They supported everything he wanted with the condition that his life was forfeit if he ever got caught. They were not bold or strong enough to have his dealings lead back to them.
Those who participated in Larry's first uprising were killed, leaving the few to go into hiding.
Erik believed in what Larry was trying to do and decided they would try again when the time was right.
Maurice was too difficult for them, and by the time they got Maurice, a new lord had been installed, one more fierce than his father, Sylvester Volkov.
Sylvester was brutal and quick to action.
He never left an enemy alive, and that was a problem for the cult.
Like Sylvester, we had taken over from our fathers by then, but the old men were still in charge.
Yuri told Erik they should take the south and east and leave the north for the Volkovs.
Erik refused and said the Volkovs would pay for what they did to their clan.
They contacted Larry again and sponsored another uprising well planned than the first, but this time, Sylvester had help from all of you.
Things just did not work in the cult's favour.
It was even worse because now Sylvester Volkov had installed himself as king, meaning taking over the north would not be possible until the king and lords were dead.
That was when Erik and Yuri disagreed.
Erik wanted the Volkovs dead, while Yuri would settle for taking the east and south and ruling as king.
They did not bother to fight about it. Each carried out their plans.
Yuri sent his loyal men to take over packs that shared a border with the east and south.
From there, they would have successfully divided our world, and instead of having four regions, it will just be two, north and south.
Erik concentrated on getting people to the north to finish the Volkovs and those bearing their mother's last names.
For Erik to install himself as king, every person in the Volkov lineage must die because Sylvester Volkov is the first original king in hundreds of years. He was chosen and placed there. It wasn't the old Mornachy but a new one, and because of that, there would be no alternating between the two clans.
When Alexei and Clay took over the eastern and southern packs, Yuri knew he would no longer have the element of surprise.
He figured someone had informed them of their plans to take those packs.
The packs were in strategic places. To get into the east, they must go through Hill Valley, Brentwood, and then Brent to get to Mountain.
Once Mountain is down, the rest of the east falls under them, likewise the south.
They moved faster in the south because, unlike the east, which had members in the cult protecting it, the foreign members in the cult from the south had no sentiments toward the south. Mainly the Sullivans.
They are a southern family with roots in the north, but Maurice bullied them out of their status.
He wanted their life at a point. I do not know what happened, but they had to flee and leave their daughter for their brother to raise," he said, and I was shell-shocked because those were Susan's parents, but I kept silent and looked at Devin. He had connected the dots too.
Andrew looked at me, a bit worried whatever he had to say was difficult. I knew it and braced myself for it.
"Your parents were members until recently when Yuri said he wanted to take the east. I believe they are currently on the run," he confessed, and I was speechless. It was as if my air supply had been cut off briefly. I did not know if I should believe him or not.
