The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 689
I did not know how to feel about it, but I must say I felt good that my lineage was known to me. I knew where I came from, and my silver healing abilities were finally explained.
"Interesting," he said, and I nodded.
"So, is Andrew still on our team?" he asked me. He was worried. I figured he didn't trust Andrew either; they did not trust their cousin anymore. All three of them; Amelia, Clay and Alexei. It was amazing to see how they could switch quickly. It doesn't take much to lose favour with the three of them. However, they might not have grown up together, but their behaviours were alike.
"He tried to use us to get revenge for his father. My father and Susan's father clarified the issue. Yuri sent Mikhail to eliminate Erik, but Erik got lucky. That was what happened, and that was why Yuri could not cry foul. Mikhail's hands were dirty, and he believed in Yuri's actions. Meanwhile, Erik is just a scientist that wants to be free." I said, and Alexei nodded.
"I can see that. He was desperate enough to try to change his eye colour with science. That is why he has two eye colours. He performed an experimental surgery on one and left the other because he was scared he might go blind," Alexei said, explaining the two eye colours. Though having two eye colours wasn't impossible, seeing it on a Stepanov was just odd. They all had grey moon cloured eyes. It has a uniform look.
"Did you ask him about it?" I asked Alexei, and he shook his head.
"Timothy did. He answered Timothy's question and took out a large syringe to ask for his blood," Alexei said, and I laughed.
We both laughed.
Sylvester, Marcel, Theodore, Devin and David approached us in the Foyer, and I re-introduced them again. Alexei was very respectful and treated Sylvester and the Lords with the utmost respect.
"You will soon be joining us in the north," David said, and Alexei nodded.
"Alia and I plan to move there," he said, smiling, and they frowned at him.
"What about your pack?" Marcel asked, and he shrugged.
"I only took over the pack to slow down the takeovers. Now that we will deal with the problem, there is no point holding on to the pack. I want a quiet life; running a pack isn't easy, and my wife is already exhausted," He said, and we all laughed.
I understood where he was coming from, and that was why I was okay with the officeless lordship title. There was just so much I could do at once.
"Well, in that case, you will be most welcome. A property will be secured for you in Lucland to your liking, or you can just stay in the Stepanaov estate. It will need a lot of renovations which we can arrange," Sylvester said, and Alexei nodded and smiled.
"I look forward to it." He said, and Sylvester looked at me.
"Shouldn't you be off to your meeting? It should start by nine," he said, reminding us of our engagement with the eastern Alphas.
"Kyle and Max must follow me because we must arrest Gordon tonight. I would not want to risk the douchebag conveying the proceeds of our meeting to Yuri. The bastard should not know that we are ready and prepared." I said, and Theodore nodded.
"I am sure Gordon would have told him about the meeting. If he doesn't hear any news from Gordon, he might hold his horses and stay put," Theodore said, and it was a plausible outcome. I hoped for it because whether they had nitric acid or not, it would still result in a blood bath. It was a war we had no business being caught up in, but here we are, right in the middle of it, taking all the hits the players were throwing.
Alexei and I left the lords in the Foyer. Alexei went to settle in to prepare for the meeting while I went to dress up for the meeting.
I linked one of the kappas to take Timothy to the hospital so he could spend time with his grandaughter while she recovered.
It was important he remained by her side. As for Erik, Nelson and the two nurses they came with, they had each been given a room, except for the nurses who have to share space with the Omegas for just one night before we leave for the north tomorrow.
