The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 295

"If they had done this to my father, I would have said he deserved it, that he was too wicked, but what is my crime? What is our crime?" I asked, looking at them.

"They have food on their tables, jobs, freedom and peace. They can mix if they choose. Our world has never been this happy, but some people still feel they can do better than us. Instead of arguing with us in the council by conversing about their goals, they chose to be treacherous about it. Sneaking about and committing all forms of atrocities. We have heard what they call their leader. They call him a king," I said and chuckled.

"I do not need anyone to tell me where all this is going. They do not seek democracy but autocracy. They worship a man, one wolf that wants to seize power for themselves. Either because they feel they will do a better job or they own it. This person is not planning for a rotation; they are planning to cripple the government and take it when it is at its weakest, and when will be the weakest time?" I asked them.

"Just like in the past, it will be when there is a council and governors. Neither having total power or control, both are required to work together but can successfully work against each other. This king's agenda will not bring peace but war and a bad case of inequality. Yet fools are running around and trying to make the 'king's' dream a reality. We all know he will not share his power or glory with them. Whatever he promised them might not be theirs to take at the end, yet they see me as the enemy," I said and chuckled.

"My only crime is being nice. My only crime is being understanding and giving people freedom. I am not lord of the north; I am a Volkov; the Sidorovs, Orlovs, and Balyeavs are the lords; I am king!" I said, my blood boiling.

"My ancestors ruled this world from the beginning, and the Sidorovs, the Orlovs and the Balyaevs were born from the Volkov lineage. I am king and refuse to be treated as a commoner in my kingdom. I am not the lord of the north but the king of wolves. Before all this nonsense, the rule was equal, and the people thrived.

I bet you none of this nonsense would have happened if we had maintained that order. The council was formed to represent the voice of the people to the king. Now they want to scrap us in the most brutal manner and take over. We can't let that happen," I said, and I saw a smile creep on Dominic's face.

"I have waited for you to speak like this, brother," he said with joy, and I nodded.

"So what do you propose?" Marcel asked me, determined to follow my lead.

"I say we arrest everyone on our list and throw them in the dungeon. Family members or not, alpha or not, council member or not. We arrest them, and they will all be pronounced guilty until they prove their innocence. Those who resist will be executed, and their immediate families exiled. Just like in the old days," I said, and Theodore looked at me.

"Just like The Dark Alpha of the dark days," he said, and I nodded.

"Stories have been told about my ancestors being ruthless and monstrous. Now I can see why. With so much treachery lying in their wake, they needed to quiet the noise and violence, and ruthlessness was the answer." I said, and Marcel looked at me.

"What made you break?" he asked me, and I looked at him.

"I will be a father soon. I will not hide away in exile with my mate. My children deserve freedom, and my mate and I deserve peace. We all deserve peace, and this is the only way to get it. If we keep chasing these people with clues, we won't catch them all. Just like Liam, most people would talk when they are caught. They would sing louder than the Nightingale." I said, and they laughed at my comparison.

"Very well, I will do it. You have my support," Marcel said, and I looked at Theo.

"Me too," he said, and I thanked them. I did not need to ask Dominic whose side he was on. He was pumped up and ready.

"Ready our Military forces; we will do the sweep in full force," I said, and Marcel nodded.

"What about Devin and Leo?" he asked me, and I smirked.

"They will agree to do the same. The raid and arrest would be carried out simultaneously in all the regions. Devin has no traitors in his region. If we are unsuccessful, we might have to retire to the south to recover and come back again," I told them, preparing their minds in case the raid does not go as planned.

They all agreed with me, and we discussed the strategy while we waited for Devin and Leo to arrive.
