Fate's Dark Side Chapter 686

~Leo~

We spent the entire day preparing to leave. After breakfast, Sylvester retired to the room, and we did not see him and Tamia until lunch.

I would lie if I said I wasn't nervous about what would happen in the North.

I just wanted it to be over so we could live our lives. Knowing that I would be a father soon motivated me to do more.

We decided to gather at the lounge in the evening to relax and discuss the following events. At the same time, Amelia chose to party with the women.

On my way to the lounge, my father linked me, telling me he had something urgent to discuss with me. I had to see him before heading there.

He was in a small living room with Grey Sullivan. I wondered where my mother and Rebecca were.

"Just the two of you?" I asked, entering the living room, and he nodded.

"Amelia invited Martha and Rebecca to hang with the ladies. They deserve to be around younger women for a change," My father said, laughing, and I nodded in agreement.

One thing I was sure of was that the women would have a blast. Everyone there knew how to have a good time, even in hard times.

"Please have a seat, Leo," my father said, and I sat on a single couch to listen to what he had to say.

"Grey has something to tell you. It might not mean much, but I implore you to listen and convey it to your friends," He said, and I frowned at him and looked at Grey, who was slightly nervous.

"I know you do not trust me and my wife, and that is why we kept this from all of you this morning, but we have now confirmed it as true," he said, and I became nervous.

My heart was beating fast because the least I wanted to hear was that we were compromised.

"The South fell yesterday," He said, and I frowned at him.

"Word has not spread because Yuri wants it to be a surprise. But every Yuri group member has been asked to report to Greenville," he said and handed me his phone.

A text instructed them to report to Greenville and receive new assignments.

"Does Devin know?" I asked them, and Grey shook his head.

"Yuri is pulling all the strings at once to set things in motion, and he is doing it and ensuring word doesn't get out. A lot of people were imprisoned last night, Devin's Beta inclusive.

I do not know if Yuri would kill him, but he has yet to appear in the South. He has representatives there, and one of the representatives is one of Erik's men," he said, and I realised why he was looking worried.

"Do you think Erik was lying to us?" I asked, and he shook his head.

"Grey, just tell him everything. No need to watch your words," my father said, sounding impatient. I guess he got the bug from my mother. She was the impatient one.

"You need to secure Erik in Hayland because a friend told me the East is next, and it will happen soon..." He said, and I frowned at him.

"All you have control over are Hill Valley and Mountain; all the other alphas would fall within this week. Since they have refused to join up, a kill order has been sent to eliminate them this week. Erik might not make it past this week because of the traitors in his circle. We have told him, but he has nowhere else to go," Grey said, and I could see the concern in his eyes.

"So what do you suggest? He has a lab down there?" I asked, and my father nodded.

"Erik is a significant player in this. Yuri would never be at peace until he dies because of the AgK32 and the fact that Erick controls half of the Stepanov fighting force and could make more if he likes," My father said and cleared his throat.

"Speak with Sylvester and take Erik to the North. Let him prepare in the North. We will lead the army in Mountain and hold the forte here. It has been long since we've been in a battle, but we aren't rusty. Be assured Yuri will strike the East now that the South is gone, but we will be here to push back for Mountain," My father said, and it was a serious matter.

I stood up, acknowledging it wasn't in my place to make such decisions. I might be head alpha of the East, head of council, and maybe soon a Lord without an office, but this wasn't my call to make. I still answered to Sylvester and the Lords.

"You have to join me in the lounge and explain these things extensively so we can brainstorm there," I said, and Grey looked worried.

He had annoyed the Volkovs the last time; I knew he would be worried.

"They let things go easily. You should not stress yourself that much," I told him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

We returned to the lounge together, and everyone acted as if having my father and Susan's father there was normal. They seemed relaxed about it. Sylvester looked well-rested. He deserved the rest because he had much to do when we got to Lucland in the North. I didn't want to be in his shoes.
