The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 52

"I won't end this," He said with a promise, and I slowly wrapped my arms around him. We were moving fast.

There were three Jeeps at the castle entrance, and I noticed everyone was riding in their Jeep.

Linda sat in one with Theodore; I could only see her top, which was red. I believed red was her favourite colour.

Avery was wearing something purple with Marcel, and we entered the last Jeep.

The ride was bumpy, coming down the hilly road that led to the property.

We rode through a forest for a while.

"We're heading to the centre of a town called Lucland.

"My mother and brother live there," Sylvester told me, and I was stunned he had a family.

"I did not know you had family," I confessed, and he laughed.

"After my father was murdered, my brother and I decided to hide my mother, so we moved her out of the Volkov Estate and brought her here. Although I was the youngest, I was the one that inherited the Alpha genes, so I took over. My brother visits from time to time, but we do not see eye to eye on several things," he said, and I got curious.

"Like what?" I asked him.

"I changed a lot of rules when I took over. I found some of my father's practices inhumane and decided to change some things. He did not like it, and we have argued about it ever since," he replied, and I knew it kind of hurt him.

"What is your mother's take in all of it?" I asked him, and he sighed.

"She agrees with him about some, but not all. You see, my mother is mad at me because I am yet to bring my father's killer to justice, and because of that, she sees me as weak," He confessed, and I wondered what kind of people they were.

If they were calling Sylvester weak, I wonder what their idea of 'strong' was.

"Do you know who did it?" I asked, and he wrapped his hands tightly around the steering wheel and squeezed it.

"Bane," He said, stepping on the gas.

"That bastard claimed my father trespassed, but he was lying. My brother went to war with him, but he wasn't ready, so Bane won. My mother and brother hate me for not joining and leading the battle. I couldn't. As much as I wanted to, I couldn't because I knew the truth. My father was an evil man, so I could not blame Bane entirely for what he did.

According to him, my father took his mother as tribute, and she never returned to them, driving his father mad and forcing him to take up the alpha position at a young age.

My father wrecked his life, and honestly, my father was in the wrong because the south did not do anything wrong. He wanted to enforce that they all come under him and pay him taxes. They revolted, and he went after them.

The east and west agreed to pay, but the south pushed back, and he attacked. So I could understand Bane's anger towards my father and why he will go after the man and kill him. Though what Bane did was cowardly, I could understand. I deliberately did not join that battle against the south because we couldn't go on killing in the name of vengeance. I had to break the chain at a point," he sighed.

"Anyway, that was how the asshole got the name Bane, because he killed the former wolf lord and won the war against my brother. My mother and brother are not happy that he is living and breathing, and because of that, my older brother, Dominic, feels he should be the Wolf Lord and not me," he said, and I frowned.

"But he isn't Alpha," I argued.

"Well, you do not need the Alpha genes to be lord. He tried to get the council of elders to dethrone me, but he was unsuccessful. It is really messed up, Tamia," He said, looked at me and smiled, then looked back at the road.

"I do not want you stressing over my family issues tonight. I want us to have fun," He said and continued to drive.

We talked and laughed about trivial things and soon arrived at Lucland, a beautiful city.

Living in the 'castle' made me forget that we lived in a developed world.

It was a bit more developed than Mountain.

We arrived at a club called Grundle. It looked high-class, and I held on to Sylvester and leaned on him
