The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 504

"Left it in the Estate. Amelia is still there," I told him, and he nodded. We got into his truck, and he drove us to the Mountain.

"Were you able to track the trackers?" I asked while he drove.

"Yes, we followed their trail with our trackers, and the last scent they left was in the woods close to Hayland," Casper said, and I wondered why Hayland was coming up more often now. I might have to reach out to the Alpha soon.

"Hayland, you said?" I asked, and Casper nodded.

"Yes," he said.

"Did you secure their campsite?" I asked, and he nodded.

"I marked it; it will be easy to find if you follow the caution tape trail into the woods. We left everything as we found it to keep the integrity of the place," He explained, and I was satisfied. I commended him for the work done.

"Alpha Alexei Kuznetsov asked to have an audience with you. I told him you went to the north," he said, and I wondered why the intruder would want to see me.

He better not be trying to challenge me. As a councilman, I had the right to refuse a challenge, which would also make me seem afraid of him. I decided to avoid him for as long as I could until I realised his true intention.

We arrived at the pack, and I went straight to my house. Max followed me quietly. He must have known his questions and insinuations while we were on the plane must have irritated me.

Entering my room, I went to shower so I could sleep and start my work the next day.

While sorting through my clothes to find my favourite shorts, I saw the boxes that contained Tamia's stuff, and I felt it was time for me to send them to her in the north. Not because I was moving on but because it was the healthy thing to do.

Honestly, left to me, I would be single for the rest of my life, but Amelia had somehow made that resolve hard and put me in a situation where I would have to open up again. I knew she would win in that regard, but I needed to buy more time and be sure because it would be for the rest of my life. If I commit myself, I plan to get it right.

I was yet to figure out what to wear when someone banged on my door. I wore the first Khaki shorts I saw and went to see who it was.

I got to the living room and saw Max at the door talking to someone.

I moved closer to see who it was. I was surprised to see the oldest Alpha in our region, Alpha Timothy, with his granddaughter.

It was a very odd thing.

The man was too old to make late-night calls unless his pack had an issue.

"What is the matter?" I linked Max.

"He demands he wants to see you. He is distressed," Max said, and I told him to allow the man in with his granddaughter.

The moment the Alpha entered, he went on his knees immediately.

"Thank goddess you returned today, Alpha," he said on the verge of tears.

"I need your help," he said, motioning his granddaughter close.

"You know I have no sons, and my oldest grandchild was taken away as tribute when the north attacked. Please, this is Mirabel, the youngest of my grandchildren. She is twenty-one years old, and she will make a good Luna for your Leo," He said, and I was shocked by his words.

"What is the meaning of this?" I asked him, and he got up.

"Alpha Alexie has challenged me for my pack. He claims Hill Valley needs to spread, and Alia is the one that got it into his head that he can take Brentworth to expand their lands.

I rather lose my pack to you than lose it to that leech. Please Alpha. Take the pack and deny him the challenge. Please. Take Mirabel for my sake," He said, and I did not know what to do.

I understood Alpha Timothy's disposition on the matter, and I understood the law clearly. I was the only one that had the right to decline a challenge and get away with it, and that was because of my recent noble status, but I could only exercise that authority over a pack I owned. I may be the head alpha of the east, but I was only the Alpha of Mountain. To protect Brentworth, I had to be its Alpha, either by taking it over or by virtue of marriage. None was a possibility.
