Fate's Dark Side Chapter 763

Ighor's eyes were misty, and he had a sad expression. Andrew's words resonated and forced him to think of the situation. It wasn't a fair one.

"Yuri murdered Luis Ivanov in cold blood. Our family leader, the son of Adrik Stepanov, the man that tried to fight for our rights," Andrew said, and Ighor shook his head, disagreeing.

"His widow is with us, Gezel Westwood. She was there when my father murdered Luis. It wasn't because he wanted him to join like we had been told; it was because he wanted him out of the way so he could be the head of our bloodline. He didn't only do that; he hunted Luis's children, killed his exes, and wanted to grab Gezel to mate with her and maybe birth strong pups like Gezel's daughter, Amelia. Did you know that Yuri murdered Luis because he wanted to mate with Gezel and be the head of our family? Did you?" He asked, and Ighor was in shock.

"It was Erik that…" he said, and Andrew yelled at him.

"Lies! Gezel was there, and my father Mikhail was the culprit," he said, and Ighor was dumbfounded. He had learned of this detail for the first time.

"I honestly thought Erik killed Luis. Luis was a gentleman. He just wanted to be left alone," Ighor said, and Andrew nodded.

"Just like Erik, I, and all the Steapnovs currently moving to the West. We just want to be left alone to live normal lives, but Yuri is too greedy and selfish to let us. He wants to be King. I see the amount of chaos and mistrust he has cost us as the head of our family. Imagine what he would do as King. We claim the Volkov rule was evil and ruthless. It will be nothing compared to what Yuri would do," Andrew said, and tears fell from Ighor's eyes.

"I...I thought we wanted revenge and freedom," he whispered, almost as if he doubted himself.

His mind was in an imbroglio.

It was clear his head had been messed up. He might have known everything Andrew was telling him, but he knew it from Yuri's perspective, which must have made everyone seem evil. Too bad Sylvester wouldn't let him live neither would I. I still remember the gunshot.

"What would you have me do?" He said in tears, and Andrew nodded.

"Nothing. We want you to stay in touch with Yuri and pretend all is well. We need that meeting to hold so we can arrest him." Andrew said, and he shook his head.

"They will be plenty, and the people with him will not be easily swayed. You won't be able to arrest Yuri easily." Ighor warned, and I sighed.

"At least we will have a chance to try," I said, and he nodded.

We gave Ighor a phone with Cains's code, and he willingly placed the call.

Yuri sounded relaxed talking to Ighor.

They discussed Joan and Sean, and Yuri saw them as another loose end Sylvester was helping him tie by silencing them. He spoke of his coronation in the South.

He talked about his difficulty with the East. He feared he would meet the same resistance in the West because it was now Erik's territory. He discussed how angry he was with Erik, and the truth was if I did not know better, I would see his point. The man was good with words and manipulating people.

Ighor asked him if the meeting would be held in Gad, and he said it would; Ighor promised to call him the next day, and Yuri told him to have fun in Cains.

There were no secret talks or codes. Once the call was over, Ighor broke down. He felt like a traitor, but Andrew told him he would save countless Stepanovs by helping us. Somehow I could see Ighor knew it was true, but he was also fond of Yuri, and his sentiments towards his cousin held his conscience.
