Fate's Dark Side Chapter 619

She was guilty by association, and that was wrong.

Susan had never hurt or harmed anyone before. She wouldn't have tried to get back with Sylvester if it weren't for the mate pull between them. It took a while for her to accept the rejection, but it was understandable after all that she had been through. Still, it was wrong to fault her every damn time.

"It was my assistant, Alice. She is the daughter of my father's Beta. Susan caught her in Brent talking to one of your family members. She came out of the woods to confront her, and in response, they decided to bury Silver in Susan and leave her for dead.

At first, I thought Susan might be mistaken. The desperation to prove her innocence and the fact that she had an issue with Alice before we came to Mountain might be the reason why she would imagine it to be Alice, so I called my beta Lukman to clarify.

According to him, Alice left for Hayland yesterday, claiming she would visit her folks, among other lies she told him.

That puts her in Brent at the time Susan said she saw her. She was the one that told the enemies about Sylvester. She was always around me, so she must have eavesdropped on my conversations with Leo. That must have been why they were unsure if Sylvester was in the van." I said, and Alexei whistled.

"What did you do to her?" he asked me, and I chuckled.

"I guess I refused to fuck her. She might be mad about it," I said, and he laughed.

"She is like that?" he said, still laughing, and I nodded.

It was okay to laugh, knowing they did not succeed and weren't sure whether or not the northerners were in the East, but it would have gone differently had Clay and Andrew not been there, and we would have lost the war before it even began.

"The bitch was so malicious she tried to make Susan believe I was screwing her and that she should leave. She almost succeeded, too, had Susan not confronted me about it. She is just a sneaky little bitch. Now my Beta says they are dating; I doubt she wants him; she just wants to use him to keep a tab on our dealings." I said, and Alexei could not stop laughing.

"So what do you want to do about it?" he said, and I looked at him. I almost screamed when I saw his eyes. I had not seen his eyes since he entered, but I did now.

He didn't have his contacts on for the first time, and his orbs looked weirder than Amelia's. I knew it was the same, but I was used to seeing Amelia with those eyes.

"What happened to your contacts?" I asked him, and he sighed.

"There is no need anymore. The Stepanovs are out of hiding, and the line has been drawn. I hated wearing those things. I wore them all my life," he said. I could understand the relief he felt being able to be himself without hiding behind his hair dye and contact lenses.

"I am glad you are embracing your features," I teased, and he nudged me.

"So what is the plan? We must catch the bitch so she can tell us what she knows. Andrew's information is limited. He has taken sides, so he would no longer know what is happening with the cult. This bitch can lead us to someone that could lead us to something useful," Alexei said, and I smiled.

"I have plans for her," I said, grinning and looking at Susan.

I had severe plans for her.

She felt the need to bury silver in my mate and leave her for the dead, then went further to sell out my friends. I had plans for Alice, and I doubted she would survive them when I was done. I greatly respected her family because they were loyal to my father, but even that would not save her from my wrath.

I took out the phone I was given to call Leo while Alexei remained with me. I needed to inform them about Alice so they would not have random suspects. Suspecting people randomly never solved anything, and this case was a bit more tricky than the one with Larry.
