The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 673

"That bastard is sick. He plans to take it all, and Sean is helping him," Grey said, and Leo slammed his fist into his palm.

"I knew it. I knew that bastard could not be trusted. All the takeovers in the west, all the displaced people. That bastard. What is his gain in all this?" Leo asked.

"Lordship. Sylvester elevated you and Devin's status, but he got nothing besides being head Alpha of the West. He seems to believe he deserves more," Grey answered.

"Yuri has promised a lot of people power." He said and sighed.

"Yuri has help from Joan Clayman, Alpha Gordon of the East, and all the alphas of the South. Three alphas of the west," Grey said and looked at Sylvester.

"Alpha Christian Zakharov of the north is next on his list. We do not know if there is a way to warn them. Yuri plans to pull down Sylvester's support. That is, take out Leo, Devin, Christain, and the rest of the council and buy off some of his Kappas.

So far, Bryce Golubev has been complicated, and the head Kappas in the king's guard have been loyal to a fault, so we do not know what Yuri wants to do. Bryce and the Kappa are impenetrable.

Yuri planned to make it seem like it was Erik so Sylvester would go after Erik, and he could swoop in for the kill.

Erik has better warriors than Yuri, so Yuri plans to make Sylvester go for Erik. He would assist Erik in pushing back, swooping in for the kill since his men have been unable to infiltrate your security and get close enough to do damage.

It was a brilliant idea, but what he did not expect was that the true Stepanov heirs would be on your side.

He is afraid of Alexei and Clay. He is also trying to frame a western Alpha named Jake Brighton if he cannot buy him over.

Jake is important to Yuri because he is close to Lady Stephanie. I do not know his plans for Jake, but I know he was planning to reach out to him.

One thing I know about Yuri is that he does not play fair. He would always find a way to force your hand, so Jake evacuating his land and going under is the best option for now," He said, and his explanation of Jake wasn't clear.

"So, what do you suggest?" I asked him, and he exhaled as if he held his breath while he spoke. He looked at Sylvester.

"There are Stepanovs that will willingly fight on your side, Sylvester. They know Yuri is sick in the head, and they are tired of his bullshit. But they want their family names restored and Stepanovs to have lordship and head a region. That is all they want." He said, and Sylvester looked at him.

"How do I know I can trust them?" Sylvester asked, and Grey sighed.

"Because Yuri is also after their lives. All hundred and sixty of them. They are pure Stepanov descendants. He is after them because they disagree with his agenda. Like Erik, he is after their lives, and they will willingly help put him down." Grey said, and Ricardo nodded.

"So why haven't they gone after him? They have a good number," Tamia asked.

"They do not have the numbers to go head-on with Yuri, and they have been unable to infiltrate his circle. Moreover, they are unwilling to come out of hiding because of Dimitri's decree. There are Stepanovs that still live in fear of that decree and are hiding from it. Yuri and his group have been the only bold ones. There is no way they would fight without drawing attention to themselves. If a war has to happen, they will need more than their numbers to succeed," Grey explained, making some sense there, but I wasn't comfortable still. Call me suspicious, but I have been through too much to be trusting.

"Let us investigate this first before we jump to conclusions," David said, finally speaking, and I agreed with him.

The best way to know if we are on the right track was after Leo's meeting with Erik.

Whatever happens, we would decide whether we can trust the Sullivans, if their information is accurate and their plan is viable.

Although it was clear from the silence that all of us were thinking that way, we were not going to tell them or discuss it with them; it was something we would discuss in private when the Sullivans and Alberts were busy catching up, far away from where they could eavesdrop.

We were still talking when Richardo received a call. Once it ended, I knew what had happened. Erik had reached out, and the meeting had been set. I wanted to follow Leo to this meeting, and I planned to insist.
