The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 687
Grey soon told them all he had told me, and Devin did not act surprised.
"Aren't you the least worried for your people?" Kyle asked him; surprised by his words, he shook his head.
"We saw it coming. I had already given Lukman directives, and I am sure he followed them accurately. They were meant to surrender when Yuri came for them. I did not want anyone dying," He said and sighed.
"Why would you do that?" Sylvester asked him, realising what Devin had lost.
Devin sighed and looked at all of us.
"I might sound proud and overconfident, but I believe in this team. We have done it once, and I am sure we can do it again. We have things that Yuri doesn't have. We have family, love, trust and loyalty. Yuri has led his people and devotees with fear, so they are always quick to give him up when caught. I know we will win. If we don't, I am willing to live in the North with my mate and raise my children quietly. Nothing is worth dying for. The pack members would equally have a good life under Yuri, just as they did under me. Unless he has insidious intentions towards the people, the only thing that would change for them is leadership; why should I then require them to lay down their lives so that I remain in power? Susan and I had discussed it, and we are fine with not being Luna and Alpha of any pack. Blessed be the moon if we win and get back the South. If not, blessed be the moon. As long as we are alive and we get to raise our children in peace, I am fine," he said, and I realised that he had indeed made peace with himself on the matter.
I doubted I could let go of the East like that, but we weren't in the same situation. I had loyal alphas that would risk everything to keep it intact; he had traitors easily swayed in the South. We weren't working with the same material.
"We will get it all back, Devin. The South has been under the Corrigans for hundreds of years. I won't let them take it from you." Sylvester said with determination in his voice and looked at me.
"You need to call an eastern council meeting this evening and warn the alphas of the danger that is coming. You and your father need to educate them on all that is happening and teach them how to fight those things because no matter what, we have to be in the North tomorrow and set things in motion," Sylvester said, and I nodded.
It was an order and not an advice.
I got the message loud and clear.
"Alpha Richardo, tell Erik to transport himself, Nelson and two of his trusted scientist to Hill Valley now. He has to ensure he gets there safely. Alexei will bring him, and I will be taking him to the North. Even though Gordon will be arrested, he can no longer continue to stay where he is because he has been discovered," Sylvester said, and my father nodded. It was amazing how Sylvester took charge almost immediately. Indeed he was raised for this.
He looked at Clay, and Clay paid attention, waiting for his orders.
"Tell Alexei to wait for Erik to arrive and help us transport Erik to Mountain tonight. He should also secure his mate and pack members. If Yuri is going to pull the strings at once, he plans to kill everyone. Alexei should bring Timothy too. His granddaughter is recovering from silver poisoning, so they can move him here to be close to her. If Grey and Richardo are here, Mountain will still have some resistance," Sylvester pointed out, and we agreed.
"After we arrest Gordon, we will be here to help them out," Max said, and It was the best offer we could get. There was no way they could go wrong with three Alphas and a strong Beta. We also had Nitric acid in Mountain, so it would work out.
"I have made arrangements with the airline company transporting us. Amelia, Clay, Alexei and I will be the visible passengers. At the same time, the rest of you will travel in disguise as part of our crew. Some Kappas will come along to make it believable," I said, letting Sylvester know that I had made the arrangements already.
He nodded and smiled, then took out his phone to make a call.
I moved away to call for an emergency meeting on my phone. It meant the meeting would hold at night, but it was necessary because I was beginning to suspect Yuri already knew what we were planning and was trying to delay us from acting.
Once he takes the East, he would have successfully divided the kingdom without asking.
If he pulls the strings at once, it means the attacks and eradication of the ruling families in the East will happen at once. It meant he was willing to unleash an army of weirdos on every pack in the East simultaneously; it also meant they were already in the East awaiting orders. No matter what, it was paramount that we act immediately. I looked at Andrew while on the phone and saw Clay staring at him. We had to keep an eye on him to be sure he could be trusted.
