The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 521
"I doubt it. If that was the case, they would have taken her long ago before she went to Mountain. Leo's evidence showed that they had been watching her for a while now, Tamia. The complaints that Max and Devin brought to the council also scream otherwise.
Without this new information, we would have believed the alphas were sour losers, but seeing what Amelia can do and this coin, the complaints are now viable and worthy of looking into. My greatest fear is having an army of people with these abilities." He said, and I understood my husband.
Sylvester wasn't worried about them being Stephanovs; he was worried about their abilities.
Maybe someone had figured out how the Stepanovs did it and decided to start his journey towards evolution.
It also meant the so-called new alphas might be a science experiment, and Amelia might be an improved version. That was only credible because the entire Styepanov bloodline was killed. None were allowed to live.
"Could it be a new bloodline who have cracked the formula and are experimenting on their children?" I asked Sylvester, and he looked at me.
"That might be it, but we need Amelia's results to come out tomorrow and be sure. Other than that, I plan on summoning the new Alphas to come so I can study them and get their DNA samples to be sure," He said, and I nodded.
"I agree, but we have to get the DNA samples without them knowing so they would not think we are on to them. The last thing we want is to alert them before we are ready for them," I said, and he nodded, agreeing with me.
He bowed his head and then looked up.
"Vino called me, and I asked him to come," he said with a sad tone, and I honestly believed it was good news because Vino had been silent for four months. We had been looking for him to no avail.
"That is great," I said, and he shook his head.
"Yes, but I wished I didn't tell him about Leo's case. I told him he would be helping me with it in the east. Suddenly I am beginning to feel this is going to be a dangerous mission, and I am sending my brother into harm's way," He said, and I was silent because I understood his fear.
"Vino has three daughters, and their mother is dead. I shouldn't have said anything," He scolded himself, and I had to hold him because I believed he needed the support.
Sylvester was more afraid for Vino's life than of the threat. Vino had been through a lot, and I could understand him feeling this way.
"I hate this King thing. I liked it when I was hands-on," he said, and I knew he was right. I hated the royalty thing, too. It limited us completely.
"I believe I should get involved with these things directly, but there is no one to leave in charge of the throne. I know everyone would want to join, including Devin. It would be stupid to leave the council in charge based on our past experiences. I strongly believe we all have to be hands-on with these people because I do not think it is a coincidence that they are taking over the packs in the east and south. This Alexie guy is attempting to increase his pack. Leo had to plead with me to send an order forbidding him from challenging anyone. On the surface, it is normal that an alpha challenges others to increase their pack, but no one has done that in decades. Why now?
Vino has also picked a pattern similar to that. He claims people are taking over packs close to the south and the east border from the west." He said and looked at me.
"Apparently, they aren't just packs of Alphas tried for treason, as Sean had told us. Vino is trying to find out what is going on there too. I honestly do not know what to think, Tamia," he confessed. I understood what he was trying to say.
"We need to investigate Sean. If he hasn't been honest, it means he is up to no good," I said, and he agreed.
"I will have to find someone I can delegate my work as King to, so I can handle this, Tamia," he said, and I frowned at him.
"I want to be a part of it too," I requested, and he looked at him and sighed.
"I will let you in as long as you promise me that you will stay out of it the moment it gets dangerous," he said, and I knew he meant what he was saying and could not change his mind.
"I promise," I said, and he sighed.
"I will inform Uncle Lucas and my mother to lead on our behalf while we try to solve this.
Please do not let Amelia know the danger she is in for now. I believe Leo is shielding her, and it will be wrong of us to work against his efforts." he said, and I nodded.
I wouldn't tell her anything anyway, but I appreciated the warning. Leo wasn't only shielding her; he was in love with her even though he did not want to admit it.
I hoped he would see the light quickly because Amelia was an excellent catch for him, Stepanov or not. I knew she would be good for him. I could feel it.
