The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 357

My Beta calls, and all he keeps getting is that they are working on it. For how long do we want to go on like this? The system is corrupt. We are on the verge of war, and the perpetrators are faceless. I want a king, and I say we take a vote.

I want a king and the original order restored with Sylvester Volkov as King and the other three families as the lords. That is what I want. Because he is the only one I know who has the balls to do what this council failed to do.

He single-handedly slowed down their activities in my region, and you want him to step down for putting the safety of the people first?

You want to disgrace him for locking up suspects so we can breathe and think straight?

Jake Brighton's pack was destroyed by an order passed by this council. Even though they claim it was from Lord Volkov, we later discovered that he knew nothing of it, and the council failed to confirm whether he authorised it.

Is the council not supposed to keep the lord in check? Then why authorise taxes to be increased and a pack to be attacked? Why did this council not challenge the order?

Lord Volkov has to be a tyrant, so we can survive these faceless people. He is doing what he must.

Though slow to solve the problems our region has faced, the council is quick to condemn the one person who has done something about the situation.

However crude, it was necessary.

Is the council a part of this group, or are they just complacent?" he asked, and the members of the council became worried and agitated. None of their names was on our lists, so I knew they were not involved, but Leo's words got to them.

"I am not a fool and refuse to be treated as one. Today this whole charade stops. I want Sylvester Volkov as King, and we should take a vote," Leo said, livid.

There was no way those things he said were rehearsed. He meant every word.

The murmur was so loud after Leo's speech that Vino had to bang the gavel.

"We are sorry for your grievances, Alpha Albert, and If I had known anything of it, I would have personally seen to it that your matter is resolved," Vino said to Leo gently, and Leo ignored him.

"However, you alone can not decide you want a King. We should vote," He said, and Devin stood up.

"I agree, and so does alpha Christian, so please get on with it. We do not have time to waste. We have all suffered the same things," Devin said, and Larry cleared her throat.

"Those are compelling allegations. If a group of people is trying to cause war, we have to investigate it. We also have to be sure this isn't a plan by Volkov to force this to happen," Larry said, and there was uproar.

I realised many people wanted to change the order and the system.

"How dare you!" I heard some people say. Mostly western Alphas because the noise was more in their section.

"How dare you! I say we vote and get this over with," Some people from the southern loge said.

"I say we carry out this vote just as Alpha Albert requested. This is the most useless council in history, and we no longer want the council in power. This democracy isn't working for us.

Wolves need a leader, not leaders. They need one they would follow that would have absolute control. That is how best we function. This system has almost altered our nature and caused unnecessary behaviour.

I agree with Alpha Albert and Alpha Corrigan that we take the vote now and move on," Christian said, and from the look on the faces of the council, they already knew how this would go.

I had the majority votes of the nobles and the head Alphas. I was going to be King.

Vino banged the gavel with difficulty this time and stood up.
