Fate's Dark Side Chapter 65

The meeting had taken all day. What was happening?

Some guards entered my room, and I sat up in bed, worried because they were northern guards. No one had ever barged into Sylvester's room like this before.

"Sylvester", I linked Sylvester but met silence which meant he was not around. To my surprise, Dominic walked in, looking angry.

"Bind the bitch; she has questions to answer," he said, and Kaira began to growl.

"It will be in your best interest to comply, or your actions might be seen as treason", he warned me, and I looked at him angrily.

"Does Sylvester know about this?" I asked him, and he did not care.

"I do not need his permission to question a prisoner. Fucking him does not change what you are here. A crime has been committed, and we require your full cooperation to solve it," he said, then the guards clamped the silver cuffs around my wrist.

"What happened? At least I deserve to know what happened." I said while the guards dragged me out of the room.

"You will find out during questioning," Dominic said, and I tried to link Marcel and Theodore, but they were not around too.

"What has happened to Sylvester?" I asked, afraid something had happened to him, and Dominic stopped and slapped me on the face.

"You should not speak his name. He is lord of the north, whore!" he growled. What had happened to make him like this?

"He trusted you. I warned him. Our mother was attacked today and is currently fighting for her life. She was attacked in the afternoon, and she was in the company of one of a council elder. Unfortunately, the elder did not make it. The surviving warriors identified the men as a mix of eastern and southern mercenaries. I know you are affiliated with Bane, so the council wants us to question the newcomers, especially you. Bane had dared to attack twice now since you got here. It must mean something," He said to me, and I felt it was ridiculous.

"We have all sworn to serve the Alpha," I said, avoiding mentioning Sylvester's name.

"How can we work against him? Why should we pay for Bane's crimes?" I asked, and he looked at me with rage in his eyes.

"I will tell you why. I warned my brother to be careful with you, but he wouldn't listen. Too bad I am here to help him think when he is carried away. Since our father was murdered, our mother has hidden in Lucland successfully without event. You are the first outsider to know she lives in Lucland, and then this happened. I also won't forget that Bane had tried to take you from the north. You were supposed to visit her today; they might have as well come to get you and decided to do some damage when they did not find you there," he said, and my eyes widened at his wicked angle. Putting things that way made me seem suspicious.

"I won't say anything until I see my alpha," I said, and he turned to look at me and slapped me again.

"You will afford me the same respect. I have permission from the council to use force if necessary. I would not want to damage my brother's toy. Do not push me," he said, and I remained silent, knowing this was a difficult situation. As much as I hated Dominic, I could not dispute the fact that he had a point.

I was carried to a cell and locked up.

Soon Avery and Linda were thrown into the same cell with me. Linda had a bleeding nose, so I figured she resisted.

We were too many for them to afford private cells.

Other women that were brought from the East were locked up, too; some were bound in silver chains and made to sit on the floor because the cells were full.

"This is highly unfair. After swearing to serve the north, they still treat us as prisoners," Avery retorted, and I nodded.

"Let us wait for Sylvester to return. I am sure he will put Dominic in his place," I told Avery, and she shook her head.

"I doubt it is that simple. If the council is backing Dominic on this, then Sylvester would have to allow the investigation to run its course," she said, telling me something I already knew.
