The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 305

"Yet you attacked the south. You sent your brother to attack me for defending my region and asking for my price. As if that wasn't enough, you attacked the south again, claiming we helped the east to attack Gad. You attacked the east and took their wives, sisters, and daughters from them. You did all this as lord. I do not want to imagine what you will do as King," Devin said and putting it that way, I did sound horrible, but that was one-sided.

"When you killed my father, I did not come after you. I knew he deserved it. My brother's attack on the south was of his volition," I told Devin, and Dominic shamefully admitted that I was honest.

It was shameful for Dominic because Devin defeated him and sent him back with his tail between his legs.

"When I attacked the south because of Gad, I had to because that was what our investigation led us to believe, Devin. They led us to believe you were in on it. As for the women we took from the east, Tamia had asked them to go home, and they refused. No one is touching them or doing anything with them. I haven't kept a harem in a long time. I am nothing like my father. The harem I had did not consist of conquests. Five women willingly gave themselves to me, hoping I would one day settle down with one of them, but that never happened. When I knew I wouldn't marry any of them, I let them go. Do not judge me by the rumours you have heard, Alpha Devin. Left to me, I will walk away from this. As of this morning, I had told my mate we should leave. I wanted to walk away, but she was the one that insisted I go this route for the sake of our people's safety. Whoever this person is, they will be harder to follow than me," I said, trying to reason with Devin, and I saw his eyes soften.

Deep down, he knew I was right, and the solution I had proffered was the best. If we kept Investigating, we would not yield anything because the people in question were smart and elusive.

"What will happen to our regions when you become king?" he asked, and I sighed.

"You will still lead your regions, and I will give you seats on the council," I said, and Devin's eyes widened.

One of the King's most significant powers that the lordship did not possess was creating council seats. Having a seat on the council would bump their status to nobles and give them a say in some issues. It was a dream come true for any leader.

"All we have to do is the support that we return to the old ways, and you will be the king?" He asked, and I nodded.

"I will also need Military support in case the usurpers surface and try to take over by force," I added quickly, and he laughed.

"You have my support," he said, extending his hand for a shake. I was worried that it was a bit easy, and I felt awkward shaking Devin's hands. Because of my uneasiness, I decided I would have him investigated.

"Just so you know, I am agreeing to this because the south has been penetrated too. That was why I wasn't around most of the games. Three packs were attacked in the south, and I know there was no way the attack would be possible if they did not have someone helping them. They made it seem like it was from you, but with what happened to Jake, I was wiser," he confessed, and I relaxed.

If that was the case, then he was in the same predicament as Leo and teaming up with me was his only chance of survival.

"We do not have names in your region yet, but once we round up everyone we have, we will likely get helpful information that might lead to the culprits in the south," Leo said.

"What if they refuse to talk?" Devin asked, and Leo chuckled.

"That is easy; Tamia and I always had this game we played when we were trying to take over the east. We would play a game with the prisoners. We would give them room to buy their lives with information. Anyone that gives us useful information that checks out will be spared. Anyone that doesn't or dares to lie to us will lose their life. It worked like magic on the warriors. These people aren't warriors, so the effect would be stronger," he said with ease, and I realised that Alpha Leo wasn't as nice as people thought. He was just passive, but I noticed he was done being passive.
