The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 358

"Very well, this council would take a vote; the head alphas would take a vote, and the elite families would vote. I will be standing in for my family and my late Aunts' family," he said, and we did not see that coming.

The Babanins were nobles too.

Leo got up immediately to speak.

I knew he did not like Vino.

I did not know why or whether anything had transpired between them, but he seemed to hate the Lawrence family.

"The Lawrence have no business voting in this, Vino. You are not a true northern noble family. The last King might have given your ancestors noble status, but you have no rights here," Leo repeated what he had once said, and everyone was silent.

Leo's words had hurt Vino. I had never seen Vino so angry before.

"How dare you, Albert! How dare you belittle my family like this?" he asked with his alpha command. He was strong, but Leo wasn't a weak Alpha; it brushed past him like nothing.

"Say I am lying, and I will rest my case. Only true northern elites can be involved in a matter like this. You can vote on behalf of the Babanin by proxy, but that is it. Lawrence would have no say in this other than the council vote; they will have no votes as nobles," Leo said with his Alpha command, and everyone was silent.

The man was a powerful Alpha. Thinking of the strength he wielded, I realised that he was just stupid and weak where Amanda was concerned. What an irony.

Everyone was silent, and Leo won the argument.

The vote was cast, and Vino, Joan and Pamela voted in my favour. I was surprised that Vino voted that I be King after all Leo said to him.

He should have voted against it knowing it was Leo's cause.

The alphas cast their votes, and all four of them, even Sean, voted in favour that I become King.

When the noble families voted, they all agreed that I become King.

Even Vino used the Babanin's seat to vote in my favour; there it was; I was no longer Lord of the north but King of our world.

The inauguration was set for the next week, but because of that vote, I could start acting as a king, meaning no one could question me or ask me to explain myself again.

I hoped we had not created a monster for the ones that would come after me.

I looked at my mate and kissed her hand to ensure this would not destroy us in the future; we must instil strong values in our children.

I was grateful to everyone who voted in my favour and was glad that part was over.

It was time to start questioning, and Ramsey was the first on my list.

Vino came to my booth to congratulate me.

"Your Majesty," he said with a broad smile and looked at Tamia and smiled. He always smiled at Tamia. I suspected he had a crush on her, one he could not act on.

"Thank you for the vote, Vino. I will try my best to serve," I said, and he bowed his head.

"Do you mind telling me what The Makailovs and the Peakmans did?" he asked curiously.

"They belong to a group," I said, and he looked confused.

"A treasonous group," I added, and he nodded understandingly.

"Very well then, I wouldn't want to be in their shoes," he said, and I smiled.

"No one would want to be in their shoes, and trust me, by the time I am done with them, people will feel very sorry for them," I said with a promise in my tone.

He congratulated me again and congratulated Marcel and Theodore on their lordship. I looked at where Larry was, and he was unhappy about the outcome. The man genuinely hated me, and I did not know why.
