Fate's Dark Side Chapter 678

"Sean would be dealt with and his title revoked. The King still owns the West," I said, and he nodded.

"He sent the right guy. I was expecting he would send one of his distant cousins for this," he said and laughed.

"Oh, but he did. I almost forgot that you are a Volov too, Albert," He said, correcting himself and laughing.

"When Ricky said you were coming, I thought the King wouldn't allow you, but he did. He must trust you. Even though he took your wife," he said, and I smiled and maintained my cool.

"We are where we were meant to be," I replied.

"Loyal to a fault," he said, observing, and I remained silent.

"What about you, Lord Orlov? You would allow the council leader to speak where you are present?" He asked Theodore, and he nodded.

"I am only here so you would know the King has a hand in this, and we respect you. Leo is in charge of this meeting," Theodore said, and Erik nodded with approval.

"Tell Sylvester that his offer is good enough for me. All the people that committed the crime against my lineage are dead. I have no qualms with him. I just want to walk in the daylight without dying my hair, wearing contact lenses, and hiding my name. I want to be a noble again. I want my bloodline to be free." He said, and his eyes were misty. Their situation wasn't rosy, and it showed.

"Why does Yuri want to kill you?" I asked him, and he became angry.

"My mother made a mistake bringing that bastard along. He is too greedy for his good. He has wanted to be a king ever since we were little. I did not know he would pursue his ambitions like this. It seemed we were trying to preserve the family name and avenge our relatives, but after a while, I realised we were turning into monsters, which made me want out of the group. That was why we divided the group. But that isn't why he wants me dead," he said, and I frowned at him.

"So why does he want you dead?" Theodore asked.

"Because of AgK32," he said, and I frowned at him.

"Silver serum. While trying to replicate our genes, I made a serum that makes normal werewolves resistant to silver for a short period. It was meant to have a lasting effect, but it doesn't. See it more like a temporary preventive measure. The side effects are not so harmful. A rash and fever after twenty-four hours of usage.

You see, the serum makes us less unique because our immunity to silver is our superpower. Giving others the power, even if it is for a short period, would be risky for his plans to take over by force and rule," He said and laughed. A lightbulb went on in my head, but I held my tongue.

"Tell Volkov to put all he has promised in place, and he will have five hundred true Stepanovs at his disposal. I do not know Yuri's location, but we will snuff him out. His last known location was Mountain, but I think he has moved. He is a master of disguise, so you won't catch him easily.." he said, and he had lost me when he said Yuri's last known location was Mountain.

"When was he in Mountain?" I asked, and Erik understood my fear.

"When Amelia arrived. I had people watching her from your woods," he said with a guilty expression because he wasn't supposed to do that. I wondered why he watched my mate, but I would ask later.

"I am also sorry that I tried to capture you," he said, laughing as if it were nothing. I held my tongue and let him finish his statement.

"My people saw him in your settlement a couple of times, I have photos, but they won't be helpful because he was disguised. He left after they burnt down your plant. Gordon is in on it too. I have my ears to the ground. Yuri has much support, but we can take him out together. I need Sylvester just as much as he needs me. I am not too proud to admit that, you see," He said and went to sit.

He offered us seats again, and this time, we sat down.

Erik ordered Nelson to bring us something to eat. I still could not get over Yuri being in Mountain without my knowledge and Erik having his men in my woods watching us.
